If you just want a decent general workhorse laptop for internet, email and general media use, this is great. It doesn't have a discreet graphics chip so it's not very good for 3D games and the webcam could be better as I demonstrated. I would get one for myself if my laptop died.
It does depend on what you plan on using it for, but for a general purpose machine, it's great.

It could be that they've tweaked the drivers, or the software I was using was causing the issues, I was simply using the camera app on Windows 8

When you record something with your lap-top camera where is the video?? I cant find folder of camera videos??

It's pretty fast for normal day to day use, it's not really designed to be a gaming laptop though (I believe I said that in the video) but for LOTRO, you should be ok I think.

It's certainly above the minimum required spec, the only thing that might struggle is the Intel Integrated graphics that the laptop uses. If you were using it mainly for other stuff and occasionally for Minecraft, I'd say it's alright, but if you mainly want a laptop for Minecraft, you'd be better looking for a laptop with a proper graphics card. If money is tight I'd suggest looking for something with an AMD A4, A6, A8 or A10 APU as they are Athlon CPU's with Radeon graphics, not bad for gaming

The question here is, which version of GTA are we talking about? The original probably works but runs like it's on speed, 2 is probably OK, 3 and all the ones based on it I would imagine to be somewhat playable, maybe with low settings. GTA 4 on the other hand, that struggles to run on decent spec PC's let alone a laptop that's aimed at office work, internet and media. If it's playable I'm pretty impressed to be honest because the GPU in this laptop really isn't built for it.

K thanks, this is the problem I thought I would have.

My webcam seems to be so much faster than that

Can you play Minecraft on this Laptop ?
Please answer

[rattyocaster]

Yes, it will play Minecraft but I think the Intel HD graphics it has aren't powerful enough for you to be happy with how Minecraft will run.
