    With the defective NVidia GeForce 8400's and 8600 GT's that seems to affect every GPU produced for the ThinkPads, I'm wondering whether integrated Intel graphics are the way to go. I don't play games, and I'll be using the laptop mostly for Internet, word processing, photos, and some photo editting. Will integrated graphics be fine? They get more battery life too, right?
