    Yeah, last laptop I bought I specifically wanted an iGPU, for the exact reasons you mention. Also makes the computer a good deal cheaper.

    (Most) Gaming is for the desktop.

      Honestly, a lot of the PC games I play a lot of aren’t all that 3D-intensive.

      Depends on the person, of course.

      I am a little surprised that there aren’t more games explicitly aimed at battery-powered environments. Like, have options to not do animations or redraw unless required, stuff like that.

        It also depends on the genre. Some genres like economic strategy games that include a lot of charts/menus are better played at a desk with a large monitor.

        That being said, there is a huge selection of games that works great on a laptop too (especially if you have a 17 inch screen).
