A computer with integrated graphics will be relying on the CPU rather an a dedicated graphics card, which obviously cuts costs. Also to cut costs / size some motherboards will not have the appropriate slot(s) for a dedicated graphics card and some power supply units may lack the required connectors to power the card. Worth checking on both accounts.
