I havent triedit for that yet but it is probably going to be on the slow side for that stuff. I do like it though

1080p video playback is great. no annoying pixilation or grainy resolution. 720p recording is not the best but with considered; proper lighting etc the recording quality is also very good. after you are done recording, you are not left wondering, what did I just record? both aspects of the laptop's camera are very good and both get my thumbs up!

For photo editing in Lightroom or Photoshop this i5 would be a little underpowered.... You'd be much better off with the i7 version. A little more money, but very worth it. I think it was around $800. Hope that helps. I'd be happy to answer any more questions if you have any.

I have a system built for Photoshop CS6. ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+;AMD FX-8150; 24gigs of DDR3 Ram; PSU 750 and ASUS 2GB GDDR5 card. It performed as I expected. But what made it even more impressive was when I bought a second card and joined the two in crossfire mode. I was impressed how "smooth" it performed running Photoshop. It should be more than adequate for graphic editing with single card.

I haven't used Manga Studio, but it has no problems with Photoshop. However, I don't use it in an intensive way, so my usage may not be typical. So far my only complaint is that Windows 8 is terrible and I strongly dislike the charms menu that keeps popping up when I don't want it to. The keyboard is also somewhat clunky but passable, I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Other than that, awesome laptop.

This laptop does everything I need in a computer. It has decent storage and you can purchase additional storage with a travel drive, which is very easy to use. I have been very happy with this laptop.

I multitask on this machine a lot. It has been responsive with many apps open, nothing too intensive, but many of them. Multitasking while hd videos are playing is no problem either. I wouldn't use it for video editing, encoding, heavy photoshop, 3d modeling, or the like. I think of it as a netbook on steriods, it is small and easy to travel with decent battery life and a much better processor than an atom but it is by no means a competitor for an intel i3-5-7. I have thought about the adding an SSD to this machine, I think it would be a great benefit but i don't think not adding one would be a deal breaker either. ie; onenote loads in about 4 sec, putty 1 sec, editors in about 3 sec. If you add one, be sure to get 7mm drive rather than 9mm. I dont believe the 9mm will fit.

It's powerful enough to handle basic video editing (chopping together home movies or YouTube videos) and could certainly handle music editing. I've played some games on it and they seem to run smoothly. It does not have a discrete graphics card, only packs 4GB of ram, and has an tiny 11" screen, so this definitely isn't a gaming laptop, but it will play your basic PC game.

Hello! The resolution for the camera is 1.3 megapixel. And yes, you can run photoshop on this laptop. Thanks.

Basic photo editing will probably not be a problem depending on the amount of RAM available for the onboard GPU to share and the size of the image in question. Otherwise, a CUDA capable graphics card will accelerate certain Photoshop functions.

It runs Minecraft quite well for my son at full settings. It ran even better with the addition of 4GB of RAM. For me mass Exports in Lightroom of RAW files with parameter changes goes much quicker than with my Lenovo X1 Carbon with i5.

Mine serves me admirably for photo editing. I don't do gaming or watch movies on it, so I can't comment on those areas.

make the ram 8GB and you will be flying! otherwise works pretty good with photoshop but i think that it will work as good with engineering design like autodesk, solid works and etc. You can really feel the difference between celeron or pentium proc (i wont even mention AMD...)

YES! The quad processor is fast and intel Hd 4000 works well on some of the other laptops I have.Maybe a little more ram would help, but yes it would work good for game capturing and editing as is!
