      Absolutely not. They’re not going to forfeit the massive battery life advantage from switching to ARM, nor do they want the heat from a dGPU cooking the batteries.

          I don’t think dGPUs are power efficient, even when downclocked. I’m pretty sure that’s why those laptops also have iGPUs that are utilized when full performance isn’t needed.
