"The Iris Pro Graphics 5200 used in Gigabyte's gaming rig is two steps above, and is supposedly comparable to Nvidia's GeForce GT 650M found in some high-end notebooks."

I've missed those benchmarks.

Its true look em up. Anand Tech did a detailed review on the specs if I remember.

Not quite up to par with GT640 / GT650M but not too horribly far behind either most of the time and it uses half as much total CPU+GPU power in the process.

can this fit a full size gpu

Full-size GPU? Nowhere close. The whole system is about the size of two PC optical drives stacked together. No space for PCIe slots in there except mPCIe for SSD and WiFi.

I'd love to see this type of product with an AMD APU in it, so gaming would be good too and cost would be less.

"...GeForce GT 650M found in some high-end notebooks."
What? 650M shouldn't even be considered as "high-end". Someone needs to run some benchmarks, because anything below X60M is pretty low end, and X60M is only at best mid-range.

650m is in LOW END notebooks. IRIS is LOW END.

Depends entirely on resolution. My Acer ultrabook as a GT640m 1gb with a i3 1.4ghz and happily played games at max detail on 720p (max screen res)
