What would Intel HD Graphics 3000 be suitable for?

Like, just watching videos (1080 / 720p) or maybe graphics rendering / video rendering?

What sort of quality could i look for in gaming etc?

Thanks :)

(i know nothing about hardware tbh)

Well.. the spec for the entire laptop is:

2.3GHz dual-core
Intel Core i5
8GB 1333MHz
320GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000

Cant find any specific specs on Intel HD Graphics 3000 all i know is it is integrated with motherboard.

Even the Intel website shows no info on it.

Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1

They are generally pretty bad for gaming and, well, most things ;)

You would probably need to find someone who has used one ;)
