    No problem, this can be fixed easily. Simply restore the factory installation. The included decelerator software makes sure your system will not get exhausted by providing too much power :D

    You could, of course, wake up and realize that you've been dreaming about playing those games on an IGPU. ;)

    You guys are funny :D Ya i get so tired of these reviews on certain laptops that say if you want to game dont get this model(Intel GPU),i guess to them if it doesnt run crysis then it dont game.But theirs alot of games that will run on intel gma hd than wont.Just one of my pet peeves i guess.So really no reason not to get a laptop with the newest intel gpu,because it will run alot of games.......... :)

    Can it run starcraft 2? cause if it can, you need to send it to have it repaired ASAP!!!!

    I'm genuinely curious ;) , my 3810T could run sc2 beta kinda smoothly most of the time, I want to see if there's any difference between the 4500MHD and the newer HD... although judging by those titles, sc2 should be no problem

    The GMA HD is indeed the best GPU design to come out of Intel in a loooong time.
    Anything before it (possibly excluding the GMA 4500MHD) is not worth the time.
