The Dell Inspiron 15R-1847MRB is a good starter desktop replacement laptop for dabbling in video and photo editing, as well as taking in the latest Blu-ray flicks. It meets the performance criteria for all tasks except for 3D gaming and in battery life. Alternatively, you'll get much battery life and similar speeds from the Acer Aspire AS5820T-5951 or the Sony VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ, our Editors' Choice in the budget laptop category.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.
