With the advent of Nvidia's Optimus technology--which does the switching for you--it's all automatic.
The Pundit Report writes: "Benchmark scores and performance reports from users which show how the overclocked 650m in the rMBP outperforms the Alienware m17x 660m when there is consistent demand, like gaming."
Alienware laptops provokes thoughts of a huge laptop with crazy performance figures,although they brought forward some fantastic machines they have always wanted to push the envelope.
