No one will buy the integrated GPU on a 17" when you are selling it in few years. Get the dedicated GPU.

Yes.... but HD video does take advantage of the GPU Mr. Wizard.

Because all family's have video recorders that record in 720p... and by the time "down the line" happens, they will have upgraded 7 times. And if by take advantage, you actually mean HD video playback, then i dont see a Bluray drive configured in his machine. As far as your concerned, yes, i am Mr. Wizard.
