If your video card ';plug'; for the monitor is flat (i.e. same orientation as the mainboard inside the case). it's integrated.





If the video card plug is perpendicular, and it comes out of one of the slots in the back, it's ';discrete';.





EDIT: Laptop: impossible to tell unless you have the TECHNICAL manual of the laptop, and those are internal to the company and not released to the public. 99% of all laptops are integrated graphics.

Laptop eh? For the most part, most laptops are integrated, even with ATI or Nvidia chipsets. Always with Intel chipsets (GMAxxx) they are integrated. You can't change them on a laptop though.
Well, Right click on the desktop and if there's a Intel Graphics option. Then it's integrated.. But there's also integrated Nvidia and ATI so thats not the only way to tell.








on the back on the PC. there's USB Ports, and Ethernet Ports for internet wires, and Microphone and speaker outputs all at the top.. Then there's a few Horizontal Expansion slots.. if one of those expansion slots that are horizontal has a VGA or DVI plug for a monitor. thats a graphics card. if you plug in your monitor next to usb ports then it's integrated.
