I am looking to buy an HP ProBook 455 g1. For a processor, it has the:

AMD Elite Quad-Core A8-5550M APU with Radeon HD 8550G Graphics (2.1 GHz, 4 MB cache)

I was wondering if that is enough for video editing. It is a 64 bit 8GB RAM 750 GB hard drive computer.
Occasionally, I play games downloaded onto it. Is 2.1 GHz and this processor good enough for this computer (I am always multitasking)

You CAN video edit, but it will take a lot longer than a better quad core at higher speeds. The more cores at higher speeds (For the most part) increases your abilities. You will be able to do it, just slowly and at low settings if you record too.

Good enough depends on how high your expectations are. You will be able to do video editing but an AMD APU is not as powerful as an Intel CPU at the same clockspeeed then again they are also more expensive. So yes as long as you don't mind it being somewhat slow.

On the other hand the iGPU is more powerful than Intel's.
