    Enduro is only really seen on gaming laptops as far as I know. That might be why you haven't seen it. :)

    Too many bad Catalyst drivers have pushed to to Intel+Nvidia.

    AMD doesn't make high-end CPUs for laptops because they aren't very efficient.

    AMD FX 6300 paired with s GTX 760 gives you a very nice desktop that can play most games at 1080p for only 600$.

    I have to say my Intel HD 4000 is pretty darn good. More power than I need actually out of an integrated card. But when the juice is needed, I love Optimus so much.

    I don't see a place where I can change it to a multiple choice, but I can add a multiple vendors option which I just did since it's the next best thing.

    I'm using Intel CPUs + whatever personally.

    If you're not gaming, iHD 4k is plenty. Hell my older CQ56 from 09' still rocks the GMA x4500, plays 1080p video like a champ and that's as much as you will need for video muscle.

    I would say nVidia in general given that most notebooks with nVidia now have Optimus, nVidia only is barely a choice anymore, there are very few laptops without Optimus or that can disable Optimus.
