Sep 19th 2009 8:12AM Agree here. I suppose we will all eventually learn/adjust to this trend of assigning volume, wireless on/off, play/pause/eject, display brightness etc, to the F keys. Still, I prefer dedicated controls for these functions.

Aug 11th 2009 4:23PM @Justin Uh check your facts. I have run Vista with Aero on Intel GM945 chipsets & Intel GM965 chipsets using integrated graphics NO issues. I am currently running Win7 Ultimate RC on GM965 (X3100 graphics), full featured, and it super smooth. Also have Win7 running on Dell mini 10v (945GSE chipset) and Vista on a Dell mini 12 (yeah no Aero, but its Vista Basic). I don't assert that Intel integrated graphics are top performing, but the 9400 is just an IGP derived from dated nvidia tech.
Sure, graphic intensive applications demand discrete solutions, but IGPs are ideal for how 70% of buyers use their notebooks.
Intel x4500 graphics (GM45) were better than the x3100 and the coming Series 5 / Calpella chipsets will be better than the x4500 (also the integrated Calpella IGP will be built using a 45nm process and 32nm for the Core i3/i5 CPUs -- and the Nehalem microarchitecture means losing the performance lag of the Northbridge and its FSB -- all offering improved performance.
Perhaps its better to say that, as is often the case with technology, new IGP platforms/generations will reduce the performance advantage of discrete graphics solutions -- especially when built on bleeding edge semiconductor processes.

Aug 11th 2009 10:13AM I will wait for Intel's Calpella platform (series 5 chipsets, nehalem microarchitecture, 32nm Arrandale CPUs). Nvidia 9400 seem old at this point -- didnt Macbooks debut with the 9400 last year??
Yeah, everyone rags on Intel integrated graphics, its fine for how I use a laptop. Having 32nm CPU and Nehalem will do far more to futureproof my purchase than the dated nvidia 9400.
IBM, Samsung, Globalfoundries, and more looking to beat Intel to 28nm market {Engadget}
Apr 17th 2009 8:59AM Rebellion is correct, Intel will likely have sweet yields at 22nm before these yahoos produce anything salable at 28nm.
