I believe there are laptops you can buy that do that well, but it's not universal.
Software support in Windows and Linux for swapping between a low power integrated GPU and a dedicated one on demand was rather spotty last time I had a system like that, but things might have changed since then (~6 years ago).
- MBCook 5y agoI had one of the Apple ones and while it worked well the software was spotty there too. It tried to guess when the discrete was needed but turned it on far too often. Which quickly made it hot and killed the battery. Since I rarely gamed I ended up using a 3rd party utility to force the discrete GPU off 98% of the time and the laptop was much better for it. I understand why Apple did that (power draw when GPU on) and why they gave up (didn’t work well at all).
