So, switch to dynamic switching mode when you need to connect an external display to your Macbook pro!

It should disable the Nvida when using battery. It would also be good if it went that way when Nvidia dies. This will need to disable transition effects and other things that won't complete. It may have disable some apps. I.e. throw. You should be able to lock it the other way - Intel HD only. Should not use power hungry display solutions in laptops. Looking at i5 because Intel HD is a non-Nvida option Apple now have. They should use it. 90s battery life? It would be bad if you still have a 90s battery. Wirth's law is is what drives heat output of these incendiary devices. Power consumption goes up geometrically as a function of time. I had a dead MacBook Pro with no graphics that was just out of warranty. This was common problem a while ago. My old 00s 12" iBook with ATI is still going and won't die. I hope its fixed as OS X 10.3 on a G3 with full disc and no DVD is limiting. This is really dumb. It should disable the Nvida when using battery.
