A:Answer 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.
