[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1772030"] I don't dispute that a dedicated GPU can outperform an integrated one. That's a given. What I asked was, why does that matter to you? What do you want to do with an system that cannot be accomplished with an integrated graphics system? If you are a dedicated gamer, or want to do some sort of high-power graphics work, then the small format computer of ANY brand is simply the wrong system for many reasons, the GPU being just one. But, again, if you can do what you want with a system what does it really matter HOW that deed is accomplished? As integrated systems continue to shrink in size but increase in performance, the difference in performance between integrated and separate becomes narrower and narrower. Increasingly these boxes are becoming appliances that we use to do stuff, not systems that need to be fretted over. I've learned to simply get a system that does what I want and then don't sweat HOW it does it, just get on with the work. [/QUOTE]
