    Depends on what you define as "good".

    To most, they are downright terrible. To a select few, they are acceptable.

    since the sound and graphics will not be very good in business laptops, can i buy a home series laptop with i7 and 4 GB ram and solid state drive?? Because I need the high performance of business series laptops and the good media support for home series laptops...

    Im not sure I have an HP Elitebook 8740 graphics are superb, ( fireGL version of a 5750) and audio is no worse than any of the consumer models I have. NO laptop has what I would call a high end audio solution built into them, most match a crappy realtek or Cirrus Logic audio with some wierd speaker solution and a fancy name. if you want GOOD audio get an external sound sard and good speakers or headphones

    business by far, much better build quality and reliability, plus you can get MUCh better warranties on them if you need.

    most of it depends on your budget and what you will be doing with it
