I had a 12 year old I5 Toshiba laptop that was outstanding, but the power supply plug went south and took the connection and the computer with it. I got this computer because of the reviews and the price, plus it has two HDMI ports. BUT, I'm not sure if the video card portion is that great, still the rest of it is outstanding. I am not a gamer. I watch videos mostly for education purposes. One thing though, it is quiet! I like it!! I would have no problem buying other ACER products.
