would you recommend this laptop to run my quickbooks for my small business?

I don't see why not. I got this computer for school and personal use and it works with every program I've encountered so far. Keeping in mind that it has no disc drive so any program added would have to be either downloaded or transferred another way, it should be just fine with your accounting software. It has been a very handy computer for me thus far.

I don't think so - it is wierd to look at; at first, but I honestly love the wide screen for spreadsheets and websites. It is very light - as light as many 13" laptops. Remember, to get a DVD installed on this laptop, you'll need to have an external USB-attached drive. Also, if you need to attach an external montior to this, look at the HDMI-VGA or HDMI-DVI-(I) converters. They'll be about $20-30 here, and don't cheap out on either. Middle of the road almost always works out well there for me. One caveat on this laptop - the keyboard is a little 'squishy' - so I do type on it quite a bit, but do NOT like it. If I had my preference, I'd have a Thinkpad T- or X- series keyboard on this laptop. Aside from that, it's an excellent laptop. Excellent screen size for spreadsheets and multiple html/web pages, programming IDEs.

that would depend on what your needs are. This is a laptop with the power of a powerful desktop

Absolutely. Its a great and efficient laptop. I would certainly recommend it. Just realize that the screen is very small.

I bought this for my wife. It runs QuickBooks Pro 2013, Office 2010 (which has MS Outlook / email), but also an email client, Microsoft Live Mail, browser session, etc. This is a cakewalk for this system. You won't run into performance issues with your requirements as listed.

I think you would find it lacking. It's not really a strong pc. I use it for restaurant pos stuff. It works fine for that, but if I was buying a computer for myself to use daily I would not recommend it.

Yes! QuickBooks non-profit is definitively worth the money. My husband is a pastor and we use it for our church accounting. It has been a wonderful program.

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.

You would have to check the requirements, specially in regard to the GPU/3D video requirements, but in my experience it runs well even very heavy business and development software, like Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, but you'll have to check if the video requirements are up to standards for games.

Yes, the no issue with storage. Storage gets eaten up by video. I have Office for Mac and run Quickbooks for Windows using Parallels software. Its faster than my I-5 8 GB RAM Intel Desktop.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

This machine should suit your needs if you are not playing top end games, or trying to edit video, or crunch through a lot of graphics. It's most suited to running office production applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and e-mail. It's suited to most internet capabilities. It may give acceptable performance on a lot of lower end games, too. Don't expect it to be some kind of inexpensive super machine though. It is a solid office machine.

I wouldn't advise it. For your purposes, and to ensure quality recordings, I would advise a laptop with faster processor speed and more memory. This is a decent little laptop for general purpose computing, but you require something with more robust capacity. If you're trying to keep it cheap, consider the Lenovo S415.

Yes, I have no problem running QuickBooks. As a matter of fact, I run more than one version of QB for different clients. But beause I spend hours at a time making entries, I prefer to use a full size keyboard and mouse with the laptop.

what about small architecture / interior design business that run 2d and 3d cad modeling software? Will this server able to handle it?

This is a well rounded computer as far as surfing, accounting, small business, you tube.... the graphics card is great, but it's from 2011, so I would look for something a little newer and maybe with less storage would bring the price down.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.
