It is because it has a discrete graphics card.

 

[RoloDman]

okay so mom will be happy and Lenovo scratch and dent isnt crap?

lol im sorry, im sure you can see im nervous and unsure

 

[Computer0304]

You could purchase a new one it if it is not too costly.

i cant find a single new 15 inch notebook thats new thats even close to $300 let alone under

 

[RoloDman]

This one is number 3. The best one in my opinion, because of the higher spec, it was last a good bit longer, it has a bigger hard drive for more storage and a fast CPU for keeping speedy!

 

[Computer0304]

Actually never mind. Number 3 is better since you do not need discrete graphics for streaming. I almost forgot what I said in post 3.

 

[RoloDman]

thank you

 

[RoloDman]

I thin i will go with this one in the end

I suspect any of the last 3 you've suggested will do the job well. I think the Intel system would perform faster, if that's a concern.

Good choice for her.
I would tell her to run on battery too, constantly charging can wear it out much quicker.
