    Is the graphics on the laptop Intel HD 3000 or is it something else? Asked the question on their chat line and all they gave me was Mobile Intel® HD Graphics with 64MB-1696MB.


    Also would the 3000 graphics be good for making maps in Left 4 Dead 2?

    Just trying to double check because that Intel page says "Graphics may not be available on all computing systems. Please reference the system, motherboard or chipset specifications for compatibility."
    and the customer support at Toshiba didn't know either.

    The only reason I can think of for the Intel graphics not being available is that the computer manufacturer has opted to use a dedicated GPU and has therefore disabled the Intel GPU that is built into the CPU package. This is not the case with the R835.
