    Hi. I'm the proud owner of a T500. However i dont know how can oi switch between graphics. I have ATI 3650 and Intel one. I know only that i can switch to Intel by clicking something in Power Manager, but that option disapears when im using Intel one.


    Thank you

    If you have Lenovo's (or the latest ATI) drivers installed along with Power Manager, you should be able to right click on the Power Manager battery icon and select High Performance (ATI 3650) or Energy Saving (Intel GMA 4500MHD).

    You can also switch via the BIOS.
