guys i need some insights here. do latest gen mobile gpu is long lasting as integrated intel GPU?

here's my case, i used to own dell vostro 1400 equipped with nvidia gs 8400m. its been good for 4 years until the gc fried cause of the faulty GPU. at that time many model are affected. the one i remember the most is HP tx100 model if im not mistaken. if any of you in a laptop repair line you might aware of this case. gpu chipset prob

im planning to buy a new laptop with intel hd 3000 gc, shud be good enough as im not gamin. but the price with dedicated graphic doesn't differ much

so shud i take intel hd3000 or ones with dedicated gc? factor that shud count in, heat issues, power consumption etc
