[Kappa7]

Hello,

I've a simple question:
All T500 with a discrete gpu have the hybrid tecnology to switch to the integreated graphic?

If not this model has this tecnology? 20564RG

All Thinkpad T500s have switchable graphics.

All Thinkpad T500s have switchable graphics.

Not so.

For CTO models, T500 2242 based configurations have an Intel GMA X4500 GPU only, while T500 2081 based configurations have both Intel GMA X4500 and ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 GPUs.

Edit: This appears to be the set of T500 base configurations with dual GPUs... 2055, 2056, 2081, 2082, 2083, 2087, 2088

Cheers,

Hello Kappa7,

I see that you are living in Swisstzerland. If you are student, there is a website where you can order your Lenovo with big discount :

They are sometimes a little bit slow to deliver and you can not custimize the models, but I had a 33% discount on my T500!

They also have great discounts on batteries, dockstations etc.

Cheers.
