I need help finding a laptop that is mainly good for media. I want to be able to watch Netflix, browse the internet, and play some old games at LOW SETTINGS (i.e. Medieval Total war 2). I'm thinking of buying a used laptop which is following:

HP Pavilion HD Touch-screen Win 8.1 Notebook with beats audio and 1tb hard drive

AMD Quad-Core A10-5745M APU Processor 12GB DDR3 SDRAM (2-DIMM's) 1TB 5400 RPM hard drive SuperMulti DVD Burner 15.6 HD BrightView LED backlit Touchscreen display (1366x768) AMD Radeon HD 8610G Integrated Graphics BeatsAudio dual speakers and audio processing Full-size keyboard with numeric keypad 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0, 1 x HDMI Multi Format Card Reader Headphone out/ Microphone-in combo jack HP TrueVision HD Webcam Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Would this be a good buy for low end gaming, Netflix, and basic use? Also, price wise,this used laptop is worth 350$? Is that a good price?

If this isn't the a good laptop, could you please give me your opinion as to what is?

It's a bit old. You can buy a new Dell laptop for $350 with a 7th generation Core i3-7100u and Intel HD 620 that will perform a better. The dual core i3-7100u will perform better than the quad core AMD CPU. The Radeon HD 8610G is about equal to the Intel HD 4600 in Intel's older 4th generation CPUs.

The below links have game benchmarks for the Radeon 8610g and Intel HD 620. Not all of the games benchmarked on the Radeon 8610g are also benchmarked on the Intel HD 620
