When buying a new laptop, office laptops are often asked how much graphics there are. When a customer asks for an onboard graphic, most people just don’t seem to understand it.
They really want to know how much it can do.
Integrated Graphic vs Dedicated Graphic
The so-called onboard is integrated graphics. A GPU is built into the processor. It uses less system memory shared by the CPU and consumes less power and less heat. Longer battery life. Dedicated graphics, on the other hand, are powered only by their own RAM. It consumes more power and is hotter. Better yet.
