Is there a way to toggle between dedicated and integrated graphics on my laptop? (HP Spectre x360 15 inch, i7, GTX 940mx) In case your wondering, I'd like to know because I'm concerned about battery life. Unless it doesn't turn on when it shouldn't. If you know the details please explain.

Can I make it automatic with power plans?
Or manually by right clicking or something?
Does a 13 inch 4K screen use the same amount of power as a 15 inch 4K?

Thanks!

Manual - right click on the app u want to use, then in drop down menu there will be option to choose between graphics processor. Select whichever gpu u want.
Hp has good power management app in built. Iam using hp laptops since 2011 (got 2 hp laptops). I would switch to high performance graphics according to the need automatically.
For eg. For using Google chrome or vlc media player, intel graphics would be used while for playing games like gtaV 940mx would be used.
