No, that is only possible on certain gaming laptops that has either one of the following technologies onboard - MUX Switch, Advanced Optimus, or SmartShift Max.

This laptop uses Standard Optimus which cannot completely switch to dGPU since it always works through the iGPU.

Is it possible to  completely switch to a dedicated GPU to run an internal laptop screen?

I just got this laptop yesterday, with this exact same spec, and I might say, it is an amazing value. The 1650 TI is the 35W variant, BUT with MSI afterburner, I increased the power limit and overclocked it from 1440 under load to a solid 1700 MHz under load, with it drawing 50W. Also, I overclocked the VRAM to 1450 MHz. I got a 10-15 fps improvement in games. When gaming, the temperatures are pretty good at a solid 80 degrees, with the fans no longer fluctuating. Honestly, I think this is an amazing laptop, and with it overclocked, it performs even better than the razer blade stealth, and it can be a proper gaming laptop, if you overclock it.

Can you tell me how you lifted the powerlimit? I can´t do this with my hp envy 14.

Is the base screen touch? If so, definitely a winner.

Jarrod from Jarrod'sTech on Youtube discovered that 35W GTX1650 Max-Q and 35W GTX1650 Ti Max-Q graphics' performance parity was less than 5%.

Same goes for Max-P versions of the 2 chips, hence why the 1650 Ti is a rip-off. Get the 1650, or upgrade to a 1660Ti. 1650 Ti, especially the Max-Q is not worth the price premium over a normal 1650, even more so than a 15W i5 over an i7.

I might add, that the model I am considering to buy, comes with an intel iris x gpu, i7 11th gen and a nonreflecting 400 nits screen. That seems to be a lot better version (also double ssd, 512gb), right?

Still no Ryzen version announced?

I hope the 15 inch version makes use of the 60w 3060.   

Once again, Hard Pass on Glossy, super reflective screens.

Nobody needs touchscreens.  These aren't kids toys.

"The 13.3-inch Razer Blade Stealth and 15.6-inch MSI E15 Summit are some more examples with the same GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q."

Seriously come on guys, no hardware, performance and power efficiency comparison to a laptop's closest competitors throughout the entire review? Not even one gaming benchmark for the MSI Summit you JUST did a review on within the same week?

What's going on?

1.5 hours under load is not what I expect from 2021 laptop, to be honest. Probably, what sense from that NVIDIA card running 2015 game at 30 fps? Just a power hog.

"A fingerprint reader replaces what would have otherwise been the Ctrl key"

I hate it when they do this. Who thought this was a good idea?
A minor thing like this could be a potentially huge deal-breaker for so many people who were excited to buy the laptop.

glossy NO!

Stop putting super reflective, glossy screens into laptops.  DO NOT WANT.

Hard pass because of this.
