Hi all
really I'm confused about the switchable graphic capability in the T410 , i want to know if it has really switchable graphic ?
and if so is it will save power if i switch to the integrated graphic card instead of Nvidia one ?

please help

thanks
best regards

It has the same interface as the previous generation T400, but it doesnt do anything. So no on the switchable graphics.

so it has the software interface but physically there is no 2 graphic cards exist ?!! I'm so sad , but if i want to save power or to maximize the battery life , what is the alternatives ?
and another question please , with 9 cell battery what is the maximum battery life can we get ? because of I'm confused about the result that has been published till now on the websites reviews .

thank you so much

There are physically two graphics cards but the software level support (Drivers, BIOS) has not been implemented

good , so can we make the switchable graphic operational in the future ? or in your opinion what is the solution to this problem ?

Switchable graphics was one of the key features for me in my T400, I'm sad that it doesn't appear to be in there. Who wants to run a hot discrete graphics core all the time when you can switch to a cooler quite capable one, and also the other way around -- it's definitely the future in my eyes.
