So long story short, my sister is in the US(Essex, Montana) plans to buy a laptop and needs some help since she's not that good with computers(Kalispell is the nearest city she can go to from time to time). There's a BestBuy store in Kalispell and so far i've found some good models on-line. The budget is 750$ and i'm trying to get the most out of those bucks.
The laptop would be for pretty much everything(multimedia + a few games).
Oh and screen size: 14.0''.

As for the Intel HD graphics as far as i know it uses Ram memory when needed as if it's vram (at Intel HD 3000 it says "up to 1696MB shared"). I know that a separate/dedicated video card would be better but since the laptop won't be for gaming i'm trying to find the best configuration according to the budget.
I've also searched the HP website and aside the free shipping there's an XBox360 promotion for students: http://www.shopping.hp.com/go/microsoftoffers?jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg_ipg/masthead/xbox
So i'd like to know if you can give me an idea or two on this laptop matter if you have some spare time.
Cheers.
