    Well, I've read alot of posts and seems to be some hybrid drivers that work designed/modified from sony laptops and some people saying just use discreet 100% of time.

    What is your suggestion? Using the stock installed dell drivers right now.

    I second this question..... I have mine set to discreet all the time, but It would be nice to swap over if I'm just browsing the internet. I know that there is a ton of info on this subject in the forums, but some consolidation would be nice.

    I use integrated when I'm on battery and browsing YouTube or forum stuff. Occasionally, Firefox will have a fit and I'll have to close it on certain videos, but the integrated works pretty well. I have been keeping on increased performance for awhile now as I've been using it for gaming.

    As for drivers, I've kept the stock ones and everything seems pretty top notch.
