Short answer? No, not really. It's very slow and has very limited storage capacity. It sounds like you're looking for a "primary computer", even if your needs in a primary computer are limited, and this is definitely NOT a good device for that purpose at any price. (Unless you're really desperately strapped for cash maybe, but then you'd better off buying a more capable refurbished computer.) It would be fine for basic Web surfing (including shopping online, but not playing online games), basic word processing, and very basic photo editing. But it's too slow for playing video games or more advanced photo editing, and the limited storage capacity would get annoying quickly if you don't have another computer to transfer photos to (or cloud storage, if you prefer), You can expand the storage with an SD card, but they're _very_ slow compared to hard drives - fine for temporary storage, but not so fine for longer term storage and access...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It really will depend on the requirements of the video games the child will play and what editing software will be used. We recommend you check with both the game's software publisher's web site and the editing software that will be used, for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
