    Other than the M11x r1, what other notebooks have non-Optimus Intel/nVidia Hybrid Graphics? I'm wondering so I can investigate their driver sets. I remember hearing about some Sony Vaio but, beforen I go hunting for it, I'm wondering what else or if there's a list somewhere. Thanks!

    I know my brothers Envy Beats edition asks him to change graphics card when he plugs it in if that helps you at all. I dont think Optimus cards do this

    Quite a few Asus laptops have them.

    Thanks. I'm mostly interested in the Intel side of the driver set though (trying to see if they have a bug fixed).
