According to current reviews AMD-based notebooks are still troubled by excessive power consumption and, thereby, shortish runtimes on accu power. Those who consider being mobile to be of importance just won´t buy an AMD-based notebook. "IMO, AMD can win about 2% of the mobile market with their integrated graphics solution."

Re: the percentage of IGP users who play anything more than casual games Who cares about games? Ever hear of Google Earth? Graphics affect every kind of application used by modern PCs, particularly things like powerpoint slides and word documents with embedded images. Pretending that a 300% difference in application display is not important, while a 15% difference in integer calcs is crucial, is just silly.
