    I have a friend who has a m15x who i'm trying to help install a 560m gtx card. I'm just wondering does the m15x r1 have switchable graphics card capablitity? I have the m18x and i know the hotkey to switch is fn+f7, so i'm wondering if the m15x r1 has the same thing and is the hotkeys the same? Thanks in advance

    The m15x only has a discrete card, no Intel card on that one.
