    So the reason why I post this is because I have ordered one, and now I found this disassembly guide showing that with the dedicated graphics, they have actually removed the copper for the Intel gpu. Wtf? What would be the reason for them to do this? I was really hoping it would be possible to switch between the two gpu's but this obviously makes that IMPOSSIBLE lol!

    And the power to it would of course be totally eliminated right..?? :p Don't want a burnt out Intel gpu on my chip :eek:
    And all that trouble with those Alienware machines, imagining w10 activating that ship and exploding it... :wacko:

    Is this some sort of Nvidia-Chip future failing no working machine CONSPIRACY?? XD
    Was actually first thinking that if the 940m says godninght in the future I could just desolder it and use the igpu...

    EDIT: LOL NEVERMIND XD
