I use the builtin HD530 GPU, yes. This means no sleep, and maybe no proper shutdown.
Graphics are OK, except for the above mentioned issues. Even Lightroom and (light use of) Photoshop are fine.
I actually got this build in a usable state fairly quickly, I did my homework. I kind of expect the Thunderbolt ports to work in a couple of months, with some restrictions I can live with.
One thing that seems to be better with this build compared to my old Z68xp is the fact that USB works more reliably. I used to have to plug/unplug my keyboard etc on a regular basis to get them working. I hardly ever have to do this now.
I don't have Windows installed, there's no reason. But if Apple tightens their security, I will move over to W10 country reluctantly.
