    Oh that’s a bummer. In my case, my system had a MUX switch, though I’m not fully familiar with it, it changed GPUs based on what the application demanded. It turned out to be a huge pain in the ass when the mighty Alienware turned out to be a bug riddled bloatware laptop and I had to disable the MUX switch to actually play games. Stuck with the dedicated GPU like you now, unfortunately.

      I think the Intel/nvidia combo works (with a lot of caveats) but the amd/nvidia one seems way less supported. Not a massive deal for me as I mostly use it as a desktop replacement machine, but it does suck to only get about 2.5 hrs of battery life on the rare occasions that i’m untethered.
