Yes if you care about 3D programming, their GPUs run circles around Intel, which still doesn't know how to write proper drivers.

Maybe it fails your definition of recently, but I bought an Asus Netbook around three years ago and am quite happy with it.

The current generation of the said model is Eee PC 1215B with an AMD Brazos and integrated ATI Radeon HD 6310* or 6320*.

Maybe on Windows, on Linux the Intel drivers are best by far.

I guess you don't spend too much time on OpenGL developer forums.

No, but if you spend a lot of times on OpenGL software user fora, you'll see that Intel is far and away the least headache-inducing graphics option on Linux and the only realistic option on the BSDs.

So has Intel stop lying about OpenGL features supported in hardware via the driver API queries, for example?

NVidia does support FreeBSD quite good.
