Aaah, this makes it even clearer (to me).
As this laptop will not be used to do any animated graphics or cunningly contrived photoshop graphics but used for normal, mundane, everyday, boring, tasks then I shall place an order for this beast in the morning :-) .
If you are never going to use the nvidia features, it is cheaper to buy a laptop with only Intel graphics. And less hassle. Some laptops are sold with several combinations of graphics or cpu.
Well, this one (which I already ordered) comes with the graphics which are the subject of this thread and there is no choice - but there are choices for other bits of it. I always take the view that one gets the best one can afford even if it may be an overkill because one never knows what may need to do with the object being purchased. There is nothing worse and most frustrating than to go out and buy something and then have to go out and waste time upgrading some part of it at a much higher price :-) . With no other choice re the graphics but choices for the other bits, I have gone for the max in all the "other bits" - except for the RAM which I have increased to only 8GB because I have 16GB on my desktop and this I know is an overkill (I don't think that I have ever seen its use go above ~3GB).
