| 1184090 | 2011-03-07 01:59:00 | I'm considering buying the new MacBook Pro 13"... Now, here's I am wondering. Considering how bad Intel Graphic solutions have been in the past compared to ATI and Nvidia, what should I think of this one? I have seen benchmarks better and worse compared to the 320M... www.notebookcheck.net Does anyone have a machine with HD3000? Opinions? There don't seem to be any half decent 13"ers in the market now, the only other thing I saw were the sonys and they reeked of cheapness and weren't all too much cheaper than the MBP. |

| 1184091 | 2011-03-07 02:41:00 | What do you intend to use it for? I would guess iit sits somewhere between a Radeon 545v and GeForce 320M | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1184092 | 2011-03-07 04:13:00 | Just need a decent, hard working laptop that'll last me about 3 years that'll do everything, won't be playing the latest games hard out or anything like that but an option would be nice. I don't understand why Apple would make the new MBP with lower specifications than the last one. It's tempting to get the old Core 2 Duo for 1600 just because of the 320M. |

| 1184097 | 2011-03-07 07:22:00 | they still sell MBP's with intel gfx's :horrified you get the 320m in the macbook air... the intel HD family (assuming that counts the 3000) is ranked higher than the Geforce GT 320m here: www.videocardbenchmark.net BTW couldn't find Intel HD 3000 anywhere on the site grrrr |

Hi, were going to look at the air book, the boss liked how light and small it was, however, as we have bespoke practice software, i talked him out of it....We have looked at the Tosh R700, but the LCD was grainy and the keyboard naff. We are waiting on a demo from Sony to use for a month to see if we like their chassis, keyboard etc, its well OTT for office use, Quad SSD in Raid 0, i7, 8Gb ram blah blah, LOL, but apparently its come back from another demo trashed..!!, so that doesnt sound too good! Id love to get ideas for a light 1kg to 1.4kg lappy and is crippled with a low watt cpu! |

| 1184099 | 2011-03-07 21:09:00 | You could consider HP Probooks or the premium Elitebooks (eg 2540p). Most low voltage notebooks will have integrated graphics. Elitebooks are built tough for IT departments because they need to last several years. Depending on what you need them for, a few of the larger elitebooks have IPS screens which are used for graphic design. If you really need graphics power, you could always use a desktop graphics card plugged in through the expresscard slot. |
