What is better integrated Graphics or Dedicated Video Card ?

Question

I am getting ready to go to school and will be using this laptop/notebook computer to do power point presentations and may be playing some games on my free time although mostly for school and surfing the web what the difference between a laptop and a notebook also?

Answer 1

dedicated by far

Answer 2

Dedicated (completely separate) because an integrated video card shares the RAM on your computer with the video card, which can severely slow it down. Dedicated means that the video card has its own RAM and won't take any from your system.  

Answer 3

Dedicated has its own resources- you don't want integrated-  

Answer 4

All laptops use integrated Graphics cards.  No real difference between a laptop and notebook.  You may want to check out what they call Desktop replacement laptops.  They will be the most robust.

Answer 5

Hello,

For the type of usage you have mentioned, the onboadr graphics will be mostly sufficient. You will need a Graphic card for the Latest and speedy games.
