    Does the unlocked BIOS have an option to switch from SG to iGPU like in the M18x unlocked bios? And does it actually function correctly?

    I tried switching the nVidia control panel from Auto-select to integrated graphics and it didn't seem to help battery life.

    (New battery only getting 2 hours on 100% brightness for web browsing)

    Thanks
