    I'm looking at a HP laptop. All the specs look good, it has 4gb RAM, 500gb HD, 2.0ghz centrino, blu-ray. But it has the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. If I am only watching a blur=ray movie and nothing else, will this card suffice?

    The HD4500 should be fine for blu rays. It can decode and process HD content without trouble, hence the "HD" in the GPU name lol ;)
