I have an eye on the Lenovo ThinkPad S540 [1] (the T models are a bit
above budget).
It also has a GPU/IGU combo: AMD Radeon 8670M and i7's HD Graphics 4400.
So you're saying the Intel card should work (as VESA in 1920x1080, I hope).
Can you specify in the BIOS which card to use?
Provided there were a driver for the Radeon 8670M, I guess Haiku
couldn't switch seamlessly between AMD/Intel anyway, right?
Another candidate might be the Samsung ATIV Book 8 [2]. Maybe better
CPU (though 3rd gen. i7), but probably hotter/louder...
