I'm rather curious about this. Is the Intel HD Graphics 4600 (integrated) actually better than an inexpensive Nvidia GPU + CPU or even AMD APU?

Intel HD Graphics are NOT meant for gaming. You will be wondering why your $600 computer can't play any games.

I wouldn't get that. The previous version of that SSD was good, but then Kingston decided to change some part of it without any notice to the public. Now, that drive is unreliable and I would seriously spend an extra $10-20 for a more reliable drive.
