Who needs this? It is the one thing I tell people to stay away from when they're shopping for hardware.
If you can get by with integrated graphics, do it. It saves energy and a whole lot of frustration. Stick with upstreamed drivers only if you want to keep your sanity.
- RandyRanderson 10y agoNot all, but a lot of ppl use the GPU for games, 3d modelling , machine learning or encoding vids. Enough that adding the chip removes a lot of complaints. Also, historically Intel 3d drivers haven't been great. If you work on the drivers (again you can because you only have to support one config) you can switch bt the two and get pretty good batt usage. Finally, this is one of the big complaints many mac users have.
