Hi,
In your laptop, there are several computer chips. One of these is responsible for making the pictures you see on the screen. The chip that does that is called a video graphics card. The word card refers to the fact that in desktop PCs, the video chips sit on a separate card that is inserted into the main computer. In notebooks, the video chip is hard-wired with the rest and you can’t change it.
Graphics cards in general are only of importance to those who are interested in a laptop used for gaming. Even the least powerful graphics card will do everything you could want to do, including watching DVDs, or playing simple games
