Is there a good way to find out, if this Notebook actually has a Nvidia Optimus feature?
]]>But I start to kinda like the idea of using the nvidia card only when necessary (power consumption wise)
(First I need to get a working docking station, which is a pain because there are docks with DP and DVI, which are mutually exclusive. In whatever universe that should make sense)

The Debian wiki has a Bumblebee page with the same instructions but you don't have to wade through a swamp of adverts & javascript to read that.
I'm not entirely sure if I want that or rather have the nvidia card running all graphic all the time.
Check the firmware ("BIOS") options, there may be a setting to change from "Hybrid" to "Discrete" for the NVIDIA card. Try looking under Config → Display → Graphics Device.
See https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobi … r_v1.0.pdf & https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobi … n_v1.0.pdf for some examples.

But this is how to set up to use the two cards alternating. So you choose which video card is running every time you start a program.
