Absolutely not. They’re not going to forfeit the massive battery life advantage from switching to ARM, nor do they want the heat from a dGPU cooking the batteries.
Sacrifice battery life? Are you suggesting that an alternate GPU has better performance to watts ratio? Are you suggesting that they don’t reduce power consumption when not processing graphically intense applications?
I don’t think dGPUs are power efficient, even when downclocked. I’m pretty sure that’s why those laptops also have iGPUs that are utilized when full performance isn’t needed.
I’m not sure how M series graphics are for performance per watt though. I’d be interested in a comparison between graphics options on perf/watt.
