Hey, I had a Mac years ago as I needed one for college at the time, but went back to PC's and am now returning to the fold so to speak lol.

I noticed that on the MBP's released today, the entry level 15" no longer has the extra graphics card. Will this really make any difference to me as a person who never plays games on my laptop? What other advantages will be missed out on without the card?

Thanks a lot

The extra graphics card was suppose to be used to extend battery life. You aren't missing out any by not having it.
