Q: Do videos on youtube and netflix movies play nicely?
A: Yes. My wife hasn't had any issues on Netflix, YouTube, or Facebook. She watches movies and plays games all the time on it.
Q: Can I watch DVDs on this laptop?
A: yes you can... great quality
A: The OS, Windows 8.1, is 64 Bit.
Q: Does this laptop come with a backlit keyboard?
A: No, this Asus laptop does not have a backlit keyboard.
A: According to this website ( http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?pid=2140&cpu=APU%20A10-7400P%20Quad-Core) this laptop should be able to run World at Warcraft on high setting with good fps. I own this laptop and It can run Minecraft on high at 40fps and medium to low at around 60fps. It can also run Tomb raider(which I got for free at https://www.amd4u.com/gamepromo/splash when you make an account) on medium to low letting at around 40fps and 20-30-fps on high.
Q: Is this laptop good for school work,homework,projects and powerpoints????
A: So far mine has handled multi-tasking and games that aren't too graphically intensive pretty well. I'm sure it would handle a few projects or powerpoints just fine. It won't be like a high voltage i7 laptop with dedicated graphics, but it is stronger and faster than any i5 or lvi7 with integrated graphics I've used. For the money it is well worth it for school work as a student in my opinion. Just get accidental damage handling or a really good case for it, it's pretty sturdy and strong, but it's still plastic.
Q: Can this laptop be used for gaming?
A: ABSOLUTELY!!!! Real fast and plenty of memory and 2 drives great for gaming.
Q: Does anyone know the specific A10 chip used in this laptop?
A: This laptop has a AMD A10-7400p processor. You can learn more about it at these links http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?pid=2140&cpu=APU%20A10-7400P%20Quad-Core http://cpuboss.com/cpu/AMD-A10-7400P http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A10-7400P
