No. It's not good. It MIGHT get you by with some 3D games on low graphics, but it's not good.

Seems like most people have this. Unfortunately I hear its not so great. The upside is a big percentage of people have Intel Graphics so developers might be trying to tune their games down to reach the most people (without hopefully ruining it for the rest of us:NVIDIA/ATI)

It's an iGPU. An integrated solution and unfortunately those aren't very good.

Here's a rough idea of what you can expect. You can play some games just don't expect great visuals.

It's integrated into the CPU. It's not a GPU you buy.

You got what you paid for then. An average laptop with a low-end video card that might be great for playing The Sims and surfing the Web but will fall over and die when you load up anything recent.

If you're going to buy a gaming laptop, you buy as much computing power and video power as you can. RAM and HDs can be upgraded later. CPU and video cards usually can not.
