    Seems like icon magnification when scrolling over the dock icons and minimizing/maximizing windows with the genie effect animation is slightly choppy and not as smooth as when the discrete graphics card is activated. I wonder if the fact that I did Migration Assistant from my mid 2009 MBP has anything to do with it, or have you guys observed this also? I don't really want to do a clean install to see if it fixes it, but any thoughts? Thanks...

    not super duper choppy or laggy, but noticeable to me... i'm also OCD with stuff though and very perceptive so maybe that's my problem.

    Also, opening flash videos (youtube) full screen u see a white screen for a second before it renders whereas with discrete it becomes full screen with no delay which i mentioned in another thread
