    You should be more specific about the problem you're having.

    GPU SWITICHING PROBLEM with 7970m .

    GPU switching: Dynamic graphics switching is no longer uncommon in the high-end range. While Nvidia's Optimus technology works more or less flawlessly and features many settings and optical indicators, AMD's version (Enduro) still appears ineffectual. Unfortunately, Enduro is still quite unreliable and not as transparent as its Nvidia counterpart. About 50 percent of the games tested launch incorrectly with the integrated GPU (HD Graphics 4000) instead of the GPU.(COPY http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-GeForce-GTX-680M-vs-Radeon-HD-7970M.77110.0.html)

    I am a fan of AMD so I want a laptop with 7970M, but this ENDURO problem concern me it seems like a big problem. My question is: If I buy a laptop armed with 7970M and AMD releases a patch in near future, will this patch fix it? Or if I buy 7970M now, ENDURO switching is beyond repair?Thank you...

    You answered your own question. Enduro problem isn't significant. The detection is abysmal, but you can manually select the .exe file and set it to performance, done.

    Enduro in terms of game performance? It's on par with $300 more card. Their benches show that in half the games they benchmarked, 680M wins, but the other half, 7970M wins. And in actual applications that aren't wasting time, but useful, and productive, the 7970M destroys, average 200% faster in CAD.

    There you go.
