Umm, not quite. The problem is that they don't have dedicated graphics  
memory, i.e. they use regular system memory for graphics. This sharing  
slows down both the computer and graphics a little. That being said,  
the Intel graphics chips used in the MacBook are pretty good as far as  
these things go.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but I think that  
you're exaggerating the issue. (Then again I don't play games ...)  
MacBooks can play back all but the highest level of HD video (1080P) -  
that's good enough for me.
