I belive you. That said, of all the laptops sold, I would bet that 99% of them are NOT chosen for their video card. I bet things like price, size, battery life etc are way more important than gaming and video cards.

I am a manager of a IT department at a telco, and I had my choice of any Dell laptop I wanted....including the XPS. I chose a D600 because of its size and wieght. I wanted a gig of RAM to run virual PC on it for testing server OS's. I considered a 9100 at the time...right up until we got one in for a developer. I used it for a day.....and its battery life and size where just not for me.

I game, but on my home PC with a 6800GT and a 3.4E cpu....both of which would kill a laptop in terms of battery life and size.
