I was given a Dell Inspiron laptop with a dual-core 1.7GHz and an ATi X1400 integrated graphics card. Upgraded the RAM to 4GB DDR2 because I could. Now my little sister uses it and she watches Sailor Moon on YouTube and plays Mario Kart DS online with the adaptor (after I installed the software and set it up for her).
I also through OpenOffice on there so she could type up school papers (she's a 17 year old high school student).
For both of these purposes, it does what she needs it for.
Does it do what I want it to? (Run SC2 on the barest minimum of settings) No, it doesn't but it still works for everyday "normal" people computer stuff.
Integrated graphics for new computers will ALWAYS work for basic stuff. And besides, these integrated cards are getting better and better. A Radeon HD 4200 series card will work just fine, even for some basic gaming
