Hello Forum,

I recently enrolled in an engineering class at my high school and it asks for a laptop with an Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 500+GB HDD, "1GB dedicated RAM or greater DirectX (Direct3D/OpenGL) capable graphics card supporting a 1280x1024 screen resolution", a DVD-Rom drive, and a wireless internet connectivity.

I found this:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-geek-squad-certified-refurbished-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-750gb-hdd-natural-silver/3301012.p?id=1219579616021&skuId=3301012

Does this have everything I'm looking for? I'm mostly concerned about the graphics card. I also have a external DVD drive, so that's not a concern. If this doesn't support what I need, it would be appreciated if you can link me one that meets the specs. I'd prefer to buy a refurbished model because it costs less; I'm on a $500 budget. Thank you!
