Is it necessary to buy a notebook with video card to optimize performance?

I plan to buy a notebook and i need advice on this.|||Notebooks don't have seperate video cards, all versions are on-board. As for gaming, you do need a very good on-board video card. You cannot upgrade it later, so you want to think about it first. User charts like this to help:

If NOT playing 3d games (or Cad types programs), then the video card will not change the performace much.|||What you might want to look into is if the video ram is shared with the system ram. You would want it dedicated to get the most out of it.|||It really depends what you will be using your laptop for. If you will be using it for gaming, then yes, you should get a video card. For almost anything else, you really don't need a separate video card - an integrated video component on the motherboard would work just fine.|||You will need a dedicated video card to play games and do heavy graphics. An integrated card is good enough for most of the basics.
