Video Features

The system features both an Intel’s Integrated GPU (for
power-saving) and an NVIDIA’s discrete GPU (for per-
formance). You can switch display devices, and configure
display options, from the Display control panel in Win-
dows
as long as the video driver is installed.

Technology

to manually change settings. The computer will automati-
cally and seemlessly switch between the integrated UMA
(Unified Memory Architecture) GPU (iGPU) and the dis-
crete GPU (dGPU) when required by the applications in
use.
