Anybody notice that the graphic switching is abit weird. If the system goes to HD4000 then even when i start a game, it wont switch back to nvidia GC. I will need to restart the computer then its ok again. 

But i notice most of the time intel graphic wont be used even though i only surf the web or use microsoft word. Is there a better driver that allows more fluent switching between graphic card?  hmm.gif

U using Beta Driver or Lenovo give one?
Lenovo give one is lousy, beta driver better a bit(but still got some bug)

I think mSATA much more sxpensive than SSD rite?

Y don't change to SSD since SSD will give much faster than mSATA + HDD

mSATA price (Mushkin):

actually the heat is come from HDD as well... thats y ppl put SSD in the middle and move HDD to ODD port... which is opposite part of the GPU/CPU.

CPU heat + GPU heat + HDD heat -> make the left and middle of the board hot...

CPU heat + GPU heat -> make the same area less hot & HDD heat will heat a bit the board on the right side... smile.gif

64GB only RM255?!

using 304.79 now. Dont really see the effects of optimus, as i have the GC widget i still see the Nvidia card running instead of HD4000  rclxub.gif The experience is not as seamless as i thought  hmm.gif
The thing is the dedicated graphic card is already running no matter what i do, even when in idle. From what i read there is no direct way of manually switching the GC's  doh.gif
*
the 304.79 is forcing NVIDIA GPU running with HD4000
305.53 seems like solve that bug....
although Performance Information and Tools still cannot use NVIDIA GPU for rendering the Gaming Graphic...lol
