I got the chance to buy a new laptop Acer Aspire V5 571 with an i5 3rd gen, but it has HD4000. I see that it's not very good for these new games that require a better graphics card.
What are your thoughts on this? Anyone had any experience?

That generally means longer battery life if all other things are equal (they rarely are, especially between brands, but it's a rule of thumb). Not having discrete graphics allows for a slimmer profile, less weight, and lowers the price.
