No shared video for gamers.

It's an unwritten law that gamers don't like shared video regardless of which chipset.

Try the Notebook forum for more feedback.

If you have a laptop with shared video, then you replace the laptop...

I've yet to see a model that allows you to upgrade the video from shared to a 3D card dedicated.

And this is discussed in the Notebook forum why.

Are you revealing you didn't go to the Notebook Forum?
