    Hey Guys,
    This will be a quick one. just submitted my order, to XoticPC for a Sager NP8278-S (Clevo P170SM-A). When building it on XoticPC's website, under the graphics card section, it says "NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 980M (8.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11". While if i make the same build on GentechPC's website it says "nVidia GeForce GTX 980M 8GB GDDR5 DX11 + Intel HD Graphics 4600". Is there a difference? Did Xotic just not mention that, or does mine just not have the intel part?

    Thanks for the help.

    No difference. The Intel iGPU is on the CPU itself, it's included whether explicitly stated or not.

    the lappy has optimus switchable graphics.
    intel for everyday use and as soon as something demanding is done like gaming it auto switches to the dedicated nvidia card.
