jazzyguy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've been reading and I am a bit confused. If I get a laptop with Intel HD Graphics, can I get full qe/ci? Can someone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hit and miss really. Stay away from Intel HD Graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well am I also correct in saying its problematic with having discrete graphics because there is still the intel hd built in? So if I get an i3 or i5, what sort of GPU should I be looking for?

ifrit05 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Any modern nvidia (Fermi's (GT4xx) are problematic though) card should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well like if I look through the vostro 3700 thread, which has the 330m or 310m, they worked, but then they didn't because dell started producing them as hybrids without telling anyone. So how do I know if it is a hybrid or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen1 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 jazzyguy, i could get the Intel HD3000 graphics in mine with help from others here in the forum. With QE/CI. However there are some video artifacts that happens on the desktop. Most of the pplications run without an issue though. I have a sandy bridge laptop (XPS 15). Mine does have nvidia graphics too (optimus). but the nvidia portion does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyguy Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 How did you do this? And also, if I want a laptop with hd graphics, how do I get them to work? And what would be the best hackintosh laptop for about $550? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
