<div>With newer laptops based on the Intel [[Centrino]] 2 platform (codename [[Montevina]]) switching between a weak, low power consumption integrated GPU and high performance dedicated GPU is possible with laptops with the feature enabled. Some examples are the [[:Category:T400|T400]], [[:Category:T500|T500]]. Note that this feature is not available on any X, W or SL series laptop.<br />
<br />
In Linux, switching graphics has to be done in the BIOS. Vista currently has drivers that allows on the fly switching.<br />
<br />
On Ubuntu Intrepid Xorg wouldnt work at all ( vesa, intel and radeon drivers ). BIOS setting has to be either on Internal or External, not Switchable.<br />
