    You are comparing apples with oranges, the laptop (14.1" Galago UltraPro) they demoed in that review does not use the HD4400, it uses a Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 with dedicated 128 MB eDRAM.

    The Iris Pro has has about 2x better performance than the HD4400, They are also used in the new macbooks for example.

    So if you are gonna get a HD4400 based laptop then expect at least half the performance you saw in that video.

    But what so special anyway's with Intel compare to Nvidia and ATI? Wouldn't people reather have a Nvidia with Linux since it's more supportive then ATI and Intel? 128 mb eDRAM for a IGP is very low for dedicated and most other intel uses ram for
    IGP yuck.
