    Hello all! I am a proud poppa of a new-to-me M11x-R3. So far, love it! I am a photographer and tend to calibrate all my screens. When trying to work with the M11x, I am hitting some walls. I need to know a couple things.

    1. What is the native color temperature of the screen?
    2. When I create a profile, is it being run through the Intel graphics card?
    2a. If the above is yes, does whatever is being displayed and needs the extra horsepower, does it then go through the nVidia after going through the Intel, or does the Intel turn off then nVidia turn on?
    3. If the cards truly switch on/off, how can I force the nVidia card to be "on" and the Intel "off" so I can set it's calibration independent of the Intel?

    Thanks! I don't see myself doing a lot of editing with the little guy, but in a pinch, I have hooked up laptops to external monitors in Libraries or a person's TV to either work or show.
