    I couldn't find this anywhere on the forums but that may be because my search skills are sub par. I was wondering if anyone know how to create a shortcut to switch between the 5650 and Intel graphics on an Envy 14.

    On my Envy 17 SB you can set up hotkeys. First choose the ATI graphics option then:
    -Right click desktop.
    -Go to Graphics Properties.
    -From there on the top right hand corner there is a button saying Preferences. It will open a drop down menu. Go to Hotkey.
    - Enable hotkey features. List Hotkeys for: Then choose Mobile Intel HD Graphics.
    Then you will see options on the Menu.

    Setup your hotkeys.
    Mine are Alt+CTRL G for ATI
    and ALT+ CTRL H for Intel.

    it's similar for the envy 14 but we have to choose the ati gpu down instead of the intel mobile one. The stuff down at the bottom is what you add hotkeys to. There's high-performance gpu (ati) and power-saving gpu (intel)
