Question 1

can this run newer games?

Accepted Answer

Probably not out of the box. The reason for this would be the integrated video graphics. If you want to play newer games (things released in the last couple of years) you would be better off looking for something with more processing power and a dedicated video card.

Question 2

What is the motherboard? I would look to upgrade the video card.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

The best way to confirm specs is actually by checking the manufacturer's website. With many of our products you can click on the "Warranty & Returns" tab and you will find the Manufacturer's contact info, including the manufacturer's website.

Thank you,

Question 3

Does this use HDMI output?

Accepted Answer

It has output for displayport, which can be converted to HDMI.  Just search Newegg for:
Tripp Lite DisplayPort to HD Cable Adapter, DP to HDMI (M/M), DP2HDMI, 1080P, 6 ft. (P582-006).  This setup works well!

Question 4

Is this good for gaming and streaming to and from Twitch and Youtube?
