Switchable Graphics is a mobile graphics switching process
optimizing your system for either high-powered graphics
processing or low power consumption.
It is designed to dynamically switch the graphics operation
between Intel® integrated graphics and ATI Mobility Radeon™
discrete graphics (depending on the power source and user
preferences) without rebooting the notebook.
When the notebook is working on battery mode the discrete
graphics processor dynamically shuts off, resulting in low idle
power, long battery life and improved energy efficiency.
Resume maximum performance by simply plugging in the
notebook to a power socket and watch your discrete graphics
seamlessly kick in.
The system monitors the power source and switches GPU based
on power source and user preferences. It's a simplified process
delivering unsurpassed flexibility.

As compared to discrete graphics, an integrated GPU requires less
energy to operate, yielding better power efficiency and improved
battery life. This makes it better suited for situations where your
notebook is running on battery - for example when traveling on the
road.
Unplug your adapter and the system operates on battery
mode.
In Start menu, desktop right-click where set of generic
commands that the end-user can access to configure the
system.
