A:Answer The most obvious answer is to keep manufacturing costs down, and therefore lower end-user costs, as well. However, laptops with dedicated graphics are not necessarily that expensive these days. You can usually find standard laptops with Nvidia 900 series graphics for around $600 or so; AMD-based laptops use integrated Radeon graphics that are usually better than integrated Intel graphics, and a decent one of those can usually run between $4-500.
