Samsung Chromebook 2 XE500C12-K01US 11.6 Inch Laptop (Intel Celeron, 2 GB, 16 GB SSD, Silver)

Q: I'm looking for an inexpensive laptop for my 12 year old who likes to make and edit videos. Will this allow video editing?

As others mentioned above, you'll want a more traditional laptop. For about 400$ I'd say the bare minimum would be the ASUS F555LA-AB31 for ~$370, which is a Core i3, it comes with 4GB of RAM so I'd recommend buying an additional 8GB stick for 30$ making it an Core i3 12GB 1920x1080 screen. The memory is very easy to install even with no experience.This would be the best bang for the buck at the lowest point of entry I'd say.

Q: Would this be a good chromebook for an 11 year old to use to mainly play games on, like minecraft?

Almost all games need to be web based in order to play on Chromebook. In other words, games can only be played in Chrome browser. There is a workaround for Android apps here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2905297/heres-how-to-run-android-apps-on-chrome-with-googles-new-tool.html
