Q. Just graduated college and my family bought me a a refurbished HP pavilion g62-340us and we got a pretty good deal on it. I plan to primarily use this computer for photo editing on photo shop, using RAW photos and whatever from an SLR if that matters. On top of that I would use my computer for downloading music and movies, while searching the web. Most new computers are ok with doing this task, but I might also play some computer games in the near future primarily diablo 3, will this computer after a year of screwing around downloading stuff will it still run these games of photoshop with music and the internet pretty well. I tried doing some research but I realized what would take me several hours to figure out pretty well, someone could read this easily and see if it works for me a lot quicker. Another option is to return this computer, save up, and get a better computer. Either some sort of macbook or self built computer with the help of one of my friends. Below are the specification of the computer any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the help so far if anyone has an idea on the release of the new blizzard games (diablo 3) and whether this will be a sufficient graphics card not really a selling point on the computer, but something I would like to know.

A. You won't be able to play Diablo 3 on a 4250 integrated GPU. Grab one with a dedicated video card like a 5570 / 5670 / 5770 / GTS 450 (those are common ones in big box stores)

A. that is a nice laptop, but as you are in college, the battery life is most important thing for you, usually the biiger the screen is, the lesse its battery will run.. Dont listen to the guys keep telling i3 and i3 or even i7 cpu, that sandy bridge pentium is capble of anything you accept from a laptop.
I would say a bigger screen is'nt really a benifit in a laptop when it can make your battery short and carrying it hard.. Go thru your options again and find one with best battry life/price ratio.. Good luck! :)
