    A. Play 'latest games' that aren't graphics intensive.

    B. Play 'latest games' that are graphics intensive on lower video quality settings.

    C. Sell/trade notebook in for one with a good DEDICATED video card.

    If you are intending to play the latest games on your laptop, buying a notebook with integrated graphics just isn't going to cut it. As was voiced above, you're simply going to have to dial down the graphics quality of the latest game you want to play. And even then you might still run into problems.

    Integrated graphics cards are not adequate for gaming, especially if you want to play the latest graphics intensive games. Sorry, but that's the reality.

    take it back if you can then do a little research on GPU's or ask the very helpful members here about gaming notebooks. i know it must feel sickening to read these posts.

    What everyone has said is very true. If playing the latest games is your goal, you will have to send the laptop back in and get one with a good dedicated GPU.
