Come on now, look at that review and what cards are pitted against each other. The 630m and 640m in the comparo easily beat the Trinity part. A desktop 460 more powerful than either.

And a i3 + 460 would be crap vs an i7 3920 and 2x GTX 680.
Crazyduckling said "as cheap as possible" removing the desecrate card is just how to do that, if by some miracle Crazyduckling's girlfriend becomes a PS2 addict he could then add a discrete GPU to the system so it can handle the new preferred game better.
The 100/65 W trinity chips will be fine for what Crazyduckling wants the PC to do.
Just taking the results from the 35W mobile part Portal 2 gets > 80 FPS in med settings. BF3 gets 26 FPS in med settings, Skyrim gets 36 FPS in med settings.
The problem with trinity is there is no desktop chips available and no pricing.
There are plenty of Cases at $20-25 that will to help shave a bit more off the price.
