You may want to check if your laptop is one of those with hybrid graphics though. These will dynamically switch between dicrete graphics (usually Nvidia) and integrated Intel graphics, but it does not work out of the box on Linux and falls back to only using integrated graphics, but there are solutions to make it work. If it is one of these you'll probably find an option in the BIOS to switch between GPUs.<div>
