Is this laptop good for video editing and multimedia?

I can not attest to video editing but I do not see why it would not do well. Multimedia is great that I have used. Streaming movies and videos is fast with no delays. Great for game play.

I do not see why not. The computer comes with the Intel core i7 chip which results in fast processing. I have yet to try any video editing, but the computer is extremely fast. Not to mention, Asus pays for a free one year warranty with the computer.

It is very good. But if you have high requirements for colors and contrast, etc., perhaps not the ideal fit.

I don't do gaming on mine but it's a very fast pc. as for video editing I haven't done that yet but I had a Toshiba satellite before this one and gave it to my grandson as it was still in good condition but way slower than this one.

For photo editing and stuff, i would recommend you to go for 8 gigs of ram. It really helps

It is as good as any intel I7 laptop. Specifically for gaming, desktop with more powerful video card would be preferable. For anything else I personally like this laptop.

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!

This is a very limited computer, it has a web cam with less than average quality. Of course you can record videos with it and upload them to youtube, but again they are low quality. More advanced video processing, editing, may be out of the league of this laptop.

I couldn't say for sure the i5 series is a solid performer for video editing but consider getting something with a i7 processor or a dedicated graphics card to do anything heavy

It is good for video editing. You can connect up to 3 monitors sung vga, hdmi and dvi ports

Yes - you may need to update the hardware drivers for video, sound, etc ... but it will run fine on this machine.

No. A laptop is a bad investment, from a performance standpoint - if you want performance, get a small form factor desktop.

Yes its good, but not great. It also depends on which software program you're using for your video editing. Many software programs use GPU acceleration and use the CUDA cores in the GPU to speed up video editing. The GTX 765M has 768 CUDA cores which is a nice amount. If your video editing is hobby or amateur it will do a good job. If you're a professional then you may want to get a computer with the 770M, 780M, or even a Quardo instead of a GeForce.

"I have not used this computer for graphics or video editing, but for everything that I have used it for (general computer use) it is fantastic. I bought this computer because my tabletop computer couldn't keep up with what I considered basic stuff like surfing the web or working in Excel or Word documents. The old computer would bog down if I had two or three programs going at once, but this laptop is lickity split. No matter how many programs I have running it has never slowed down one little bit, so I would think that it should work just fine with graphics and editing.

Is a pretty good computer. As long as you are not having to do any video editing or gaming it is a good model.

Yes, it has pretty good processor for the money, and Lenovo has a reputation for above average quality. This is one of the best deals in the mid 500 dollar range.

Effectively this is an old laptop. As far as I know gamers want the latest, greatest, fastest, with huge memory and probably solid-state hard-disk. Video should be 'dedicated graphics' (should show as a separate high-end video card in the device manager). If you have a desktop with no video card and you use the ONBOARD VIDEO, that is 'integrated graphics'. Video Editing ok, but not gaming. I have a Z77 chipset, i5 chip, 32gb memory, onboard video, SSD (desktop, not my Gateway). I would add a high-end video card if I started gaming. Talk to a hard-core gamer, so you don't regret a purchase.

It should do ok with those programs but I haven't used them much on it. There is a good amount of ram and everything that I have run so far that has been fairly intensive has worked well. I would recommend this laptop to pretty much anyone. Great deal for a great product.

yes. It's a great laptop. Only thing I didn't like was the windows 8 desktop. But, was able to change the desktop to work similar to XP & windows 7 desktops with the start in bottom left corner.
