    I was under the impression that the Intel 4500MHD graphics would be able to run Aero, but the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is telling me that my graphics adapter does not support Aero. What do you think?

    No, it should be completely fine. My old eMachines's weak, weak integrated graphics even runs Aero fine, so the Intel 4500MHD will be fine.

    I have zero issues with the integrated graphics card on my T400 running Aero.

    eAs one of the many people running Win7 on a T400 using the Integrated graphics, I can confidently say it runs fine.

    Yup, even my Intel X3100 can run it fine, so you shouldn't encounter any problems. :D

    Actually the Intel 4500 GPU was produced with the native blu-ray decoding in mind..
