    Hold back on the laptop then?

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    It would be REALLY nice for them to have an integrated graphics processor that didn't totally suck, so all the bog standard laptops with an Intel CPU and their GPU were a real choice for someone who wanted to play some older games, I'm not talking Crysis on max settings, but WoW on medium settings at least. Current Intel graphics are just unspeakably bad
