In general, I stay away (and recommend others do the same) from graphic subsystems that require extensive hacking to properly work under Linux. Buying computers with them rewards manufacturers who do half-assed work - they pocketed your money after all.

It's not like notebooks equipped with Intel graphics are more expensive or hard to find. Or that it would be an insane amount of work to provide functional (even if not fully-functional) Linux drivers for their product lines.
