    Just got my Vaio SZ from P1.
    Is there any way to switch between the video vards (nvidia, and internal intel) without using the hardware switch to go to "stamina" mode?
    I want to leave everything on performance mode, except use the internal video card.

    Been looking in the control panel for a good 20 minutes, and can't find anything to do this.

    thanks
    jason

    Put it into stamina mode and set the battery settings as High Performance.
