You are correct. That slipped by me when I wrote my mail.

Thanks for that idea. As I don't do anything remotely graphically taxing 
I don't need a speedy GPU. Most of my work on this machine will be 
programming and remote admin. Apart from watching a 4K video once in a 
while I dabble a bit in CAD, but those are fairly simple drawings that 
would in no way require a super-duper GPU.

I'll try to find out if they allow for a configuration with an Intel 
graphics iGPU only, or otherwise the simplest dGPU. Ada 1000 seems to be 
the lowest spec available if I remember correctly. That should be more 
than sufficient.
