Anyone find it interesting that you have to choose between the AMD graphics and the quad-core processor? (no discrete graphics option for the server model...)

Heat issue? Maybe a power issue I would have to look up what the quad cpu pulls and what the gpu pulls watt wise.

2 core i7 uses 35 watts




I think this is the quad core it uses 45 watts

the amd 6630m pulls 15 watts so if you have the quad and the gpu it is 60 watts.

I think the psu only puts out 85 watts.
