No way it would have fit in there, or it'd be thermal throttling the whole time. I'm excited to see the Intel Core M in action though. That power efficiency.

They could of simply made a slightly thicker laptop giving us the option of having a dedicated card featuring Nvidia's Optimus. Battery friendly and for casual/light gaming, 1080P/HD content it'll definitely help over the Intel HD shared graphics...

Its an ultrabook, its going to be marketed to business people or people who just want a very light laptop for work/education.

Core M has the new Iris 6 series inside them though I believe.

The Intel Core i5-5350U, Intel Core i7-5550U and Intel Core i7-5650U have the 6k Iris too. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-6000.125588.0.html

Agreed, however, having a dedicated gpu, even an entry level one will help take workload/stress from the cpu under intense use. There will be times a gpu helps with whatever work you're doing. My laptop, unfortunately has the good old indel HD shared graphics and at times all I hear is whine, cpu throttling, extreme noise and overheating... When this happens, I always wish there was a dedicated gpu, even a ****ty one.
