Worth to mention that the new 17" Ultra disables the Intel iGpu. Pity because it comes with extra hevc 422 10 bit encode/decoding.

Of course this is common enough with a lot of high end laptops.

You mean they have a mux switch? That's a big plus

I queried this with an XMG representative today, they told me the iGpu is disabled. I'm sure they would have said it if it has a Mux switch.

Already mentioned in the article that there is no Mux switch. My XMG contacts confirmed this.
