Except with the recent 'polsboro (sp?)' design, which is very badly
supported (it was apparently a design they got by buying up another
company and it has all sorts of licensed parts in the design that they
are now having issues getting permission to release specs for as far as
I understand the situation).

Other than that I agree.  It's hard to go wrong with intel video (and
usually wireless).
