    Not that it matters since we can't make make the choice on motherboards, but does the M17x R3 have the H67 or P67 chipset? I couldn't find it listed on Dell's site, but from what I've read, H67 supports switchable graphics, and P67 does not?

    And since the R3 supports switching to the iGPU, I'm guessing the R3 uses an H67 motherboard?
