Hi computernewbie1
Please do not duplicate topics as it may lead to confusion.
What is the make and model of the computer you are asking about?
I ask because the specs say;
Graphics card Intel HD graphics
- 128 MB memory
It does not appear correct, possibly a typo!

do you think its any good

Depends on what you are paying for it, for me the limited graphics memory is below par and may disappoint you.

[computernewbie1]

the hard drive is 750GB is that good ? and it has 6gb memory ? what is this for ? thanks for all ur help!!!

[phillpower2]

Yes those are both good specs, plenty of storage space for your movies on the HDD and the 6GB of Ram will help the processor and video chip perform efficiently.

what is a graphics card for ? and u said its low of this computer , why is it bad to have a low graphics card.

A graphics card is used to display video on the computer- without a graphics card, you wouldn't see anything on your screen!

The card you have is actually a small chip built onto the motherboard; it's not very powerful, which means you probably won't be able to play a lot of video games, but if all you're doing is downloading and watching movies, you should be good to go!

Acer is a great brand, my laptop is an Acer, and I love it.
