Hi,

I've heard about the W520 having the option in BIOS to a) use optimus, b) use the integrated graphics, or c) use the discrete graphics. Can any confirm if the T520 has the same option. I'm looking to buy one of these, but my OS of choice does not support Optimus.

Cheers.

Hi there
Even the older W&T series has option in Bios to use "switchable" or "disable" ability to turn it off-thus using intel only
Not sure if you are saying / asking if there are option(s) in t520
-Iam not sure as I don't see anything like that

Am not a hammer so don't care much for worrying much of those options

Cheers
