    I have a Compal QAL 51 notebook with Core i7 3630QM CPU which has integrated Intel HD 4000 Graphics.
    I don't know who customizes the BIOS, but it doesn't have the option to enable the integrated card.

    (Yes, I can use the Nvidia 640M card, but I'm working with OpenCL and want to try different devices -- Also it would be nice to have a lower energy consumption when using battery only).

    That being said, CPU-Z tells me the motherboard and BIOS are:
    Compal Type 2 - Board Product Name1
    Insyde Corp. - 6.40 - 03/15/2013

    Does anyone knows how can I enable the integrated graphics?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem with my Avell Titanium B153 (same as barebone Compal QAL51)
    But my bios is at 6.5 (still without option to see processor APU/iGPU)
    :p
