Not that fast, but should run most of that(edit will be fine if you don't want it to do crazy stuff, games will be fine with low settins, and don't expect new AAA games.

Something like a used e6440 with a quad core and a gpu would be much faster and about the same price if you don't mind used.

i5 6200u is very underpowered using usb 3.0 would bottleneck the cpu just remember that.

Not really. You can do a good amout.

 

USB3 will be fine.

A HD 520 isn't great for gaming...editing, the dual core ULV i5 is probably going to be fine especially for the price. It's fine but it won't exactly give you the results you're looking for

?? I can have my 2 USB 3.0 sticks transferring files at 200MB/s~ on both sticks on my laptop with an i7 4500U (about the same performance) and it's fine...

"screen recording" Ah yes, I wonder why it's being utilised at 90%

With screen recording running in the background and installing programs. Its not cpu limited, your also encoding video.

its a very low power cpu also remember that that's an low i7 and a i5 is a step down. i am just saying the cpu is very weak that's just a fact. installing program does not take lot of cpu power.

that's a really good computer for light work but remember gaming is not going to be good with low setting cs go should hit 30 to 45 and Minecraft can probably be 30 fps with low setting.  video editing will be challenging with vary long render time.

I have a macbook air with a slower cpu. You can through a lot at these little guys.

 

Also recording video does use a lot of cpu.

My 2012 macbook air gets about 50 with csgo at medium 900p, so expect hit at 60fps.

Can you stop underestimating the power of an ULV chip? My i7 4500U with my 840M disabled can run CSGO at 1366x786@lower settings (like mixed low and med settings) at 80-100fps~ so...

ULV i5=ULV i7 but with lower clocks

really only 50 i thought it would be 200 or 900 fps at 8k /s

editing should work, nothing heavy though. maybe not vegas pro 14
