Hey there,
just realized... the available graphic-options in dells online-store (at least in europe) reads "460M with Optimus Technology" and "580M"...
while in the us-store theres "460M" and "580M" (no sign of optimus at all).
so whats going? just a typo or missing description?! i mean you´re not telling me dell forgot to enable optimus with the 580M...are you?!
regards

without optimus...that's a big plus to me...
according to me, optimus = nightmare. it's always switch your Nvidia video card to integrated video card when you playing games... -
So will the 580m be manual switching or no switching at all?
-
I thought it did have Optimus? I seem to recall reading somewhere that it did... here in fact!

So should be doable with the M17x R3 then since the actual laptop supports it?

I don't see what the deal is with Optimus anyways? Nearly every thread regarding Optimus has more complaints rather than positive feedback. I'm glad that I only have one GPU to work with.

M17x R3 w/3D 120Hz WLED & 460M/580M = no optimus gpu switching...
M17x R3 w/60Hz WLED & 460M/580M = optimus gpu switching -OR- manual gpu switching w/ modded bios...
M17x R3 + 580M...but what about optimus?!
