It comes down to price - low-end lappies tend to go with integrated
solutions that borrow variable amounts of RAM from the system, high-end
models tend to offer up branded cards with dedicated memory. If you are
going for eye candy and/or want to play 'proper' games I would go for
the latter, or be prepared for at least some degree of disappointment.
