Ivy Bridge is where it's at then, as it seems to be running something a lot better for integrated graphics. And the coolest thing is that they're as cheap as a current low-end i7, mostly in the range under $300. Better power, better overclocking (4.4 is EASY on average air coolers while 5.7 is the limit). When they get cheaper they'll do wonders for non-gaming laptops, and maybe even make some really low-end gaming laptops which have never really existed in the price range possible before.
That does sound good.  Well, too bad I've gotta get my computer this summer, I'm going to the US then, and things are a bit cheaper there (The difference between Taiwan and the US isn't that big, it's like a hundred dollar difference if you're talking about a $1000 laptop, I think) and there's more to choose from.  Plus I'm too impatient to keep working with this dual core I've got...
