axlastro 12 Posted August 8, 2015 Hi guys, I was going to buy one of those machines, but I read they don't support Nvidia Optimus - is that true? That would be a huge No-no for me, as I sometimes like to use my notebook on battery. My M14xr2 has 30% wear on it's battery and still can be used for 5 hours for web browsing and text editing all thanks to Optimus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tassomajstor 10 Posted September 11, 2015 Nope, Optimus disabled, at least on my 8760w with IPS, not sure about ones with non-IPS panel. If you plan to use it on battery a lot, skip it.....i couldn't get past 2h of moderate use on battery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wanting battery life then consider getting the iGPU-only model. Can add an eGPU via their expresscard slot if need more graphics speed.Or alternatively, consider an equivalent Dell Latitude. They support Optimus. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
