    It's the cheaper Intel version of the 1039. If you want a graphics solution, get the 1039 instead. This is a less expensive, business class system, not a gamer. They're not just going to offer gaming machines and nothing else.

    I'm just kidding. I am actually considering buying a 1013 (for the wife) along with or very soon after the 1039. Call me crazy if you want.
