Oh my god!

Today, I was at a shopping centre looking for a cheap USB memory stick, and ventured into the pit that is The Carphone Warehouse. As usual, I was greeted by an array of mobile phones, mobile broadband, accessories and laptops.

Now, I may not like laptops and advocate the usage of desktop computers, but one caught my eye -- and not for its stylish colouring and fabulous free bundled rubbish. Instead, it was the promotion displayed on screen.

It was a video of numerous popular and recent PC games, including the smash-hit graphical behometh Call of Duty 4. I found it slightly ironic to tout a laptop with PC gaming. However, even if this specimen was better suited to a teenage girl who's intersts include pirating music and "Fessburk", there are decent laptops out there.

Unsurprisingly, it was decked out with an intel integrated GMA. Yuck, I know, but good enough for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word, the primary programs of non tech-savvy users. What got to me was the message at the top of he screen,l which read something like this:

"To make sure you are achieving the very best performance in all the latest PC games, make sure your laptop has Intel™ Integrated Graphics!"
