Is an HP Pavilion Laptop PC with AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 Dual-Core Processor a good choice?

Yes that should due all you want it to do. Just remember it's a laptop not a desktop so it won't be anywhere near as powerful. Meaning that you may have to turn down the graphics level for it to run smoothly. Laptops don't usually have very good graphics chips. I hope this helped.
