| You'll want something with a better processor. Also, what do you mean by "light gaming?" I'd recommend building your own if you don't mind buying parts individually.
Edit: After reading the specs, I think you should stay away from this. There's only 8GB of internal storage and it runs off an Android OS. If you're looking to get faster video rendering/editing, this isn't for you. This computer seems to be similar to a giant iPad/tablet with only two USB ports. The response time is also very high for gaming purposes. Hope this helps! |

I'd really rather not build my own ATM. By light gaming I just mean mine raft, counter strike... Just stuff on steam. I don't need the best graphics or anything, just a nice computer that won't lag like hell. |

I don't have much knowledge about any Android OSs, but I don't think they'll be very good for video editing. This should be able to run Minecraft well, but CS (GO?) will likely lag a lot. I'd settle for a laptop or small desktop with a better processor, operating system, and graphics card. |

If not I understand, Ouse already helped so much dude, thanks! |

Also, if you're looking for a desktop, do you already have a decent monitor/keyboard/mouse? |

Alright cool. I have to head out now, but I'll take a look when I get home. |

| Yeah I wouldn't go with an android OS, whereas it's brilliant on phones/tablets, it has its restrictions. Go for Windows 7 And as Biz said, it's best to buy your own parts since its so much cheaper than a pre-built machine! My pc cost £500ish, but would have been in excess of £900 if I bought it pre-built. If you can't assemble it yourself, you could probably pay a local pc shop to build it for you? It'd still be cheaper than buying it pre-built! |

| ^yea, I'll sing android's praises until the sun don't shine, I've got a nexus 4 (phone) and nexus 7 (tablet) and couldn't be happier with either of them. BUT if you want gaming and video editing the only choice I see is windows 7. as everyone has said.. pick parts, build it yourself. if you're only after light gaming you can save soo much on a GPU rather than getting a top end one - then you've got money left over for a screen. and keyboards like £2 on ebay. I reckon 600 dorra will get you a great build. Especially if you're willing to get a cracked version of win7 and save on the cost of that. these days cases are screwless and it's easy as tits.. maybe you have a friend who's a little bit more geeky than you who can help? I've built a few in my life and it's pretty simple, just check some tutorials online and you'll be good to go |

| You can buy prebuilt gaming or usable pcs on craigslist for a good deal . But you can also buy some really new stuff on newegg with a good deal. |

| Oh god, definitely don't buy an android computer, they're retarded, I have an android phone and tablet, but I really wouldn't be able to cope with it as a computer because there is a ridiculous amount of restrictions (more than a mac ;o) it'd be great if your range of game choice is angry birds and temple run but it's useless otherwise. |
