I believe this model of lenovo should have the dedicated mux switch so switching from integrated to dpu doesn't require a restart. I know the cheaper lenovo loq models have it
This is correct. Mine will flash the screen to black for ~1 full second when it switches, but no restart is required.

Ah ok I was confused because it is super obvious when it happens.
So just to update you, I discovered that I can, indeed, notice screen tearing. I had disabled v-sync to play a game on the iGPU to get a little extra performance out of it and it was quite noticeable. I enabled v-sync and it smoothed right out. So apparently this laptop at least has v-sync, but I don't know about g-sync.

I've attached the message I get when switching to dGPU-only mode.

Why would you need Vsync if it has G sync or free sync?

I just wanted to say I really paid attention to see if I'd notice screen tearing and it was minimal but there with v-sync turned off. So if that answers your question maybe it's helpful.

A little review after owning mine for a while. I've owned lots of laptops over the years, including several MacBooks/Pros, Alienware, Spectre x360, and have replaced my Zephyrus G15 with this Lenovo Legion Slim.

The size and weight are excellent. It's lightweight and thin, and gaming performance is still very good.

When not in gaming performance mode, I regularly get 8-9 hours on a charge with office and web use. Definitely a solid workday laptop that doesn't look like a gamer laptop to the untrained eye.

The keyboard is good. The touchpad is fantastic. Superior to my Zephyrus track pad, and on par with MacBook pro and HP Spectre quality. It's accurate, clicks are perfect, gestures are intuitive and smooth - it's easily one of the best track pads out there on a modern laptop. This surprised me, as I didn't think the Zephyrus track pad was particularly bad.

The screen is where this thing leaves competitors in the dust. Getting that sharp of an OLED screen with the taller aspect ratio for $1100-ish, WITH a 4060??

Hella fine deal. I am very pleased with the laptop over all, and even 16GB should be good for the lifespan of the laptop for gaming and basic work, at least. I did pay a little more and get the 32gb when I bought mine because I do heavy video and photo editing on mine.

Games don't ever use it all, but video and photo projects gobble up RAM in a hurry!

Overall, highly recommend this laptop, and am happy to answer any questions about it, including comparing to competing models.

One odd thing missing is USB4. You're stuck with the included 4060 graphics since an eGPU isn't an option.

edit: one other odd thing - going from performance graphics mode to integrated only for max battery life requires a restart. on my Zephyrus it didn't, so this is strange and inconvenient to me. If someone knows something I'm missing, please let me know.
Did you get the Ryzen 9 version or stay with the Ryzen 7? Does it make much a difference in Video and photo projects?

Looks like I got the Ryzen 7 version. I haven't done any big video projects on it yet, but photo projects and gaming are very fast on this thing. From what I've read, the difference between the two is about 1% on single core and 3% on multi core. It's hardly noticeable. It's like a 100mhz clock speed difference. They both have the same number of cores and same amount of cache.
