I was thinking there must be a lot to be saved by using a non Ubuntu distro
or seriously tweaking Ubuntu. For instance do I really need the bluetooth
features on a laptop without bluetooth? As for Unity 2D, I'm loathed to do
that is it's a stop-gap, what will I do in future versions where 2D is being
removed?
Still worth trying it to see if it makes a difference. All you have
to do is log out and in again.
Are you sure it is using 3d? It seems surprising that they would
spend money on 3d graphics h/w with a low spec processor. If the h/w
will not support it then Ubuntu will silently drop back to 2d.

Yes, today I'm experiencing the extremely frustrating issue with
Libreoffice calc where the unity icon in the bar doesn't show it's
loaded. Every time you click to switch to calc it loads a new instance.
Also the laptop has HDMI, what would be the point of HDMI without a
reasonable graphics chipset?
