    Hi guys

    I managed to nab myself an Alienware 14 from the Outlet today after persisting for months. Anyway, just noticed the processor in the spec sheet is the i7-4770S (8M cache, up to 3.9GHz :eek: ) yet this maybe a glitch as this processor isn't available on the Dell Alienware website and when googling the processor + Dell, it comes up for use in their desktops and AIO's machines.

    So is this likely to be a mistake?

    Also, how do you switch between the 765M and onboard integrated graphics?

    Thanks for any and all assistance.

    it's impossible to put a desktop processor in this laptop, it must be a mistake

    with optimus, the switching is automated
    but you can assign which gpu to use for individual programs in nvidia control panel

    It may be just an error on the website, sorry about that.
    It will do it automatically with nVidia Optimus.
