Has anyone been running on the Intel HD 4000?

How well does it work? I am considering upgrading my fleet of computers to either a 27" iMac or 13" MacBook Pro Retina with external monitor. If the Intel chipset isn't the kind of thing you would use for Incursions, large mining fleets, or fights with 10-30 ships in space, it will be of no use to me and I will stick with the Air as my laptop and go with the iMac for desktop use.

I have a Hackintosh build with HD4000 and a TB display. I can run 4 clients windowed at over 1280x1024. I have even had a 5th going but then things started to lag. I mine mainly in fleets of over 10. I usually zoom out while mining but mainly because I can't stand the lasers going off. If you are only running one client it will handle it really well.
