For these applications, this notebook and the aforementioned processor is like made.
Windows 8.1 in my opinion is better than any predecessor: It boots quickly, never depends on and is even easy to understand for my 60 year old father. In combination with this hardware everything runs very smoothly with great response times.
I would recommend this notebook thanks to the facilities recommend: HDMI and USB 3.0 ports, DVD drive, which of course you can also burn, plus a card slot for SD cards.
The processing of this device is unexpectedly good for this price: display and keyboard are super, the case is very stable and high quality.
Only the permanently installed battery is a disadvantage if you want to use the product for several years. Think he has to be replaced sometime cumbersome. Since you can use the unit with power supply and my father will only use at home, we see no disadvantage.
For this price you can find in my opinion, nothing better.
5 stars and strong buy recommendation!
