the intel GPU's are pretty fair nowadays, with the HD 4200+ graphics
systems. but if you have a discrete GPU from nvidia or AMD as well as one
on the motherboard you may want to disable the onboard one. this can cause
issues unless your drivers can integrate it well. Laptops are a bit
different because of the nvidia optimus functionality to use the intel gpu
unless a workload of sufficient complexity comes along to require the
additional horsepower.
