I now realize that Dell has stopped support for the R1 but it would be great if they would do a bios with a choice of integrated graphics and Nvidia. The driver is too old to support HDCP but with this one change it would allow us to use the latest driver from Nvidia or just run the Intel integrated graphics for better battery life. I would feel alot better about Alienware than I presently do by being abandoned.

    Yes, Dell/Alienware please do this for all M11x R1 users, I would very much like the option of discrete or integrated in the BIOS. Thanks.

    Yes!  Please Dell, do what Lenovo did with their early 335 based hybrid notebook and add an "integrated" option to the bios!

    I'm running Windows 8 on my R1 and am stuck with the discrete bios option.  I would appreciate the ability to run on the Intel graphics only and save on battery.
