    they are talking about the default stock drivers. when optimus kick in you will see the word optimus on the top left of the screen. however the words are pretty huge given the small screen. can be quite annoying at times and it doesnt disappear and will just remain there. dont seems to have any option to remove that. its good to know optimus did kick in with that notification but they should have made it in the sense that it will disappear after a few seconds or something. nonetheless this doesnt apply to newer drivers thou
