    Actually it can. Especially on an external monitor. Dedicated Nvidia cards often have better color management than Intel integrated cards.

    I expect it will be hard to spot quality differences on the internal screen though.

    Yeah on the laptop's actual screen there probably won't be any difference seeing as the internal GPUs are made to render every day tasks whereas dedicated ones are made to render games.
