Default New Laptop Question - Integrated GFX or Discreet GFX???

Hey just wanted some thoughts on this if anyone has the time...
I'm looking at the Lenovo Thinkpad T510 and have the option of either:
1) Intel Integrated HD Graphics with Always On USB
or...
2) NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphics with 512MB DDR3 Memory

From what I gather Pro Tools performs better with a lower memory Graphics card which is leaning me toward the Integrated option but I also use laptop on tour to watch movies quite often (No games or anything). Any idea if going with the Integrated option would affect the quality of movie playback??? I would happily drop the GFX card for the Pro Tools performance increase but I'd hate it to ruin the movie experience. Anyone shed any light on this???

Steve

if you just want to watch some movies/dvds/bluerays, then just go for the integrated graphics

me thinks that you only need that much video-ram and graphicpower when you want to play (new) games or edit videos/photos and stuff
