About This Table

These tables are 4 list of gaming laptops with a MUX Switch based on what people (reddit) , trusted review sites (notebookcheck) and manufacturers (Lenovo, ASUS, MSI, Acer) have published. It’s updated at least twice a month

Unlike other lists, this list ALSO has information ON:

GPU’s TGP (Wattage): Because it is an equally, if not a bigger, factor for gaming performance. The higher the TGP also known as TDP or wattage, the more power it can draw and thus the more framerates it can output.

You can learn more about what is GPU’s wattage here.

Ideally you want a laptop with a high TGP GPU (130W+) + MUX Switch will give you the best gaming performance for a specific GPU. There’s a youtuber who tested Dell G15 3060RTX against the 3070RTX, the 3060RTX beat it.

Note: Advanced Optimus (A. Optimus) performs the same function of a MUX Switch without the need to restart the system. They’re technically the same thing.
