Hi TTG,
I want to buy a good gaming/editing laptop in the summer and I want to know if these specs are decent for gaming and editing videos/making graphics (I'm not an expert on computer specs lol):
And if you think this isn't good enough suggest what one I should get? I will not pay more than 500.

Ok but it is an Acer Aspire V3-571G and I have seen and read a few reviews on it and I saw a video where this guy plays Minecraft, Battlefield 3 etc. On the highest render/quality that there is so if its bad then I don't know how he got to play Battlefield 3 so easily on High...

looks like it has a 640M that is pretty decent graphics, as for playing on high setting they were likely not playing the game at 1366 x 768 or lower

If someone specifically asks for a laptop, do you really think they want a desktop?
No, they don't.

I wouldn't recommend it for the reason being your budget is to low for a gaming laptop of good quality and slow gaming after 2 months is just frustrating. Get a desktop with your budget you could get a decent one.
