Greetings, I am considering getting a new MacBook Pro laptop, and have seen some of the specs of the M1s, and see some have integrated graphics.
I Have read that the M1 chips integrated graphics are just about equal to some windows gaming laptops in terms of speed and power as the windows ones with dedicated graphics.
I have been under the idea that getting a dedicated graphics is always better, and to avoid integrated graphics because it causes bottle necks with RAM.
Has the technology gotten better? I am a bit behind, as I have hung-in with my 2014, 15 inch laptop with a dedicated graphics card.
I see the 16 inch M1 models are a bit beyond my budget. The 13 inches are more in my range.
I do need some power for productivity; photography, light video rendering, mostly converting between formats, and some word processing and I use Google chrome heavily. I would also like my new laptop to keep cool, mine can get fairly hot.
