The main selling point of Dansky laptop is the removable graphic card . Normal Celeron laptops do not have any graphic card , Intel HD of SOC Celeron isn't fast enough for anything , not even 1xIR while GT 940M can handle 2.5xIR with ease . Not mentioning Intel HD will eat up system Ram and make your laptop run slower when you use it . Celeron laptops usually come with 4GB of Ram which is barely enough for Dolphin , now it also has to share memory with Intel HD
How is 4GB's of ram barely enough for Dolphin? Dolphin uses about 512MB of RAM or 768MB on a bad day... Windows 10 x64 uses around 2GB of RAM on my 4GB day2day laptop and around 1.5GB on my 2GB RAM Atom Z3735F Tablet. That roughly leaves 1.2-2GB of RAM for the Intel HD 500.
The Intel HD 500 is roughly as fast as the Intel HD 4400 (this is interpolated, I could only find a few tests between the HD 500 and the HD 610 which show that the HD 610 is about 55% faster than the HD 500 and about 60% faster than the HD 4400) And the Intel HD 4400 is able to run 1x IR in NSMBU without much issues, so having taken out the iGPU as the culprit of low performance on my day2day laptop we only have the CPU left.
