I had an ATI chip go bad on a T40, they did exactly that. Luckily the warranty covered it I guess Microsoft isn't that terrible since they made a version of Vista available for systems without the video capability, however, the premium would require the complete replacement of laptops without the video capability.

Take for example if Linux ever gets a Stable 3D accelerated desktop, how many laptop users with small amounts of internal video ram will be able to run it? I'd say it's more of a problem with the Laptop than the OS.
