The computer has integrated graphics, the Intel 4500 (?) set. So, no dedicated video RAM. Do I understand correctly that it'll slice off some of the main system RAM for that purpose?
FWIW, the reasons I've picked this machine are because the apparent build quality (solidness, keyboard feel, screen hinge, etc) is dramatically better than similarly priced HP, Acer, etcs, and it has a matte finish screen. Those glossy screens look nice but I can't stand the reflections. So it's a hundred or two more than other machines with similar hardware specs but some things don't show up on spec sheets.
