My only comment about graphics - if you go with the ultra-lightweight stuff with no specific games in mind, you’ll get a system that’s not so good in being efficient, nor is it that good in graphics.

What games do you plan on playing? A good, modern integrated chip (eg. Intel HD4500) is equivalent to an entry-level graphics card from two years ago (eg. nVIDIA 8400GS). If it’s flash games, don’t worry about the GFX card at all. If it’s up to UT2004, the integrated chip should run stuff at max settings. Doom3/Quake4 - will run on integrated on minimal settings.

If you want to play 3D games, I suggest you just plunk down $500 on another desktop – that is, if you really feel like it.
