Hello, fellow nairalanders.

I was so close to buying a PC without dedicated graphics memory. According to them, they said it doesn't really matter, that other features cover for it (RAM size, Processor Speed and so on) .. Being a heavy gamer,, I doubt that.

Now, my question is this. Are there really PCs (6th generation) that come without graphic cards? Or do these fraudulent sellers remove them before selling?

And is it advisable to buy one without graphic card?

Most Pcs with dedicated graphics card are designed for heavy gaming or heavy workloads like AUTOCAD, VIDEO PROCESSING, etc... However an average Core i3, i5 or i7 chipset with a TDP of 35watts or more is still quite powerful without an inbuilt graphics card.

Yes, there are many laptops with 6th and even 7th generation processors without dedicated graphic cards.
Most laptops with dedicated graphic cards have the chips embedded on the motherboard, hence they can't be removed easily without damaging the motherboards. So it will be plain stupidity to attempt removing an embedded Graphic chip from a functioning motherboard

The PC in question was HP Envy 15. I have checked the specs online. it supposed to come with a 2GB Nvidia Graphics card. Though it's i7

What is the wattage of the power brick (adaptor)?
If it's 65watts or less, that's a lower powered core i7.
If it's more than 65watts (Eg 90 watts or 120 watts) then you have a powerful PC.

Sadly, I didn't have access to these information earlier. But how can someone check all these on the PC? Thanks

By power brick I mean the laptop charger... You should should see the watt written on it boldly

Lol. What if another charger is used? Maybe London used. and the sellers decide to swap chargers

@op if its games you intend playing with the laptop them you need a gaming laptop. A gaming laptop must have a dedicated gpu (Nvidia, Radeon etc) for processing graphics.

Mainstream laptops come with integrated graphics like the common intel hd graphics.

And yes there are variants of hp envy 15 that do not come with a dedicated gpu.

Most systems with a dedicated gpu have huge appetite for power due to their demanding processors and the need to fast charge the battery, hence their power packs or adapters have huge power output(u need to see my asus rog adapter it weighs heavier than a laptop powerbank)

Not every laptop comes with a dedicated graphics card. However every laptop has integrated graphics. It all depends on what you are using the computer for. Some games require high end graphics cards or dedicated graphics memory to perform optimally hence the reason gaming laptops always come with dedicated graphics however that does not mean laptops with integrated graphics cant play games. They will in some cases or they won't it all depends on the games requirement. Since you enjoy gaming I advice you buy a laptop with a good graphics card and dedicated graphics memory. But they are quite expensive.
Please you have to cut the sellers some slack some allegations are just absurd. The graphics card of a laptop can not be removed. You sound like a novice in the computer world so you are defintely not doing something right while looking up the specs of the laptop.

LOL.

Don't mind me. I was only surprised because the said PC (HP envy 15) comes with 2GB nvidia graphics, so why isn't he's coming with it? He also told me all PCs in his shop don't come with Graphic card (Reason why I said that statement earlier)

Thanks for the clarifications. God bless!

Maybe he meant 'dedicated graphics cards'. Some sellers are just normal 'business' men with no knowledge of what the contents of a computer are.
