I was wondering if these computers were OK for a bit of gaming (nothing high end), for editing and screen recording:
Acer Aspire ES1-521-62EC 6GB RAM 1TB Windows 10 AMD A6-6310 15.6"
Or
Toshiba L50D-B-1C4 15.6" Laptop AMD A8 Quad Core 6GB RAM 1TB HDD Win 8.1
Or
HP 255 G5 Laptop
AMD Quad Core A6-7310 2.4GHz
4GB RAM +1TB HDD
15.6 HD + AMD R4 Graphics
Windows 10
 
Solution
The A8 one should be faster than the A6 ones, but none of them are suitable for gaming. Without listing exactly what games you are talking about, no way to say.

They are lower end systems, for good results in gaming and editing video, you would want something several 100 over the prices of these ones. They will work for some low spec games, and will run programs fine, just not very fast.

If you can afford to spend $370, then the following Asus F555LA-AB31 would be your best bet. The Core i3-5010u is a bit more powerful than the A8-6310 / A8-7310. The Intel HD 5500 integrated graphics core is definitely more powerful than the Radeon R4 / R5 graphic cores; I would estimate about 40% - 45% more powerful.
