Would you consider this a good buy for a multi purpose computer? Between Gaming and video/audio and graphic editing?

You're probably going to want something with a halfway decent graphics card for ant real gaming. For the other stuff should be fine for the money

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

It is a good motherboard for gaming and streaming videos. I mostly do streaming, but it also depends on the processor (I use an AMD A10), with 8 Gb of RAM DDR3, and also a Radeon 6670. So, it is pretty decent performance, but I think I would look for more muscle to do intense gaming.

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.

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 think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

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

Hi. Really, this is a good computer. Yes, is decent for gaming purpose but....only for gaming?, I use my g7 for scientific and engineering purposes, because this is a powerful system. The games inside this one, specially mah jong, are very nice. Mah jong has a relaxant sounds, so you put on earphones and enjoy the sounds while you are playing. pavilion g7-2220us is a decent laptop not only for gaming, but other purposes. Buy it and enjoy!

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.

This computer is built for media and graphics. It should run photoshop with no problems.

If you are specially looking for a gaming laptop, this is not the right one. That would cost around $750. However, this computer is one of the best options for multipurpose including gaming option. It has a good battery life, screen, or Windows 8. It's pretty dependable and well made with full size keys, good size screen and resolution, full HDMI port, Ethernet, SD card slot, very thin/light. If you want a pretty good laptop for cheap, without getting an old netbook, a tiny screen, or a used computer, this can't be beat. In addition, Windows 8 gives you the power to quickly browse, watch movies, play games, polish your resume, and pull together a killer presentation - all on a single PC.

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

Brett , I really haven't used it for photo / video editing. One thing I can say for sure is that it has a decent 2.4 GHz processor and good 4GB RAM with a superfast USB port.If you are comfortable using Win 8 OS (which I think is a usability irritation - pls check how Adobe and other graphics suites work with the new OS) then I think it is probably a decent laptop for the money you would spend.High end graphics editing using Adobe PS also should be possible with the Intel HD 4000 Graphics card that comes with the stock laptop.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

Definitely. I am using this Laptop for work, also to design webpages and play some current 3D shooters, which it does nicely when plugged in. Of note, you can get this laptop without the annoying smudgy gloss black encasement at BB for 200 less, in matte-darkbrown, without the annoying fingerprints all over your laptop.
