    In the search window type "nividia control panel". From there you can choose intel HD, auto-select or NVidia.

    How did you set your display driver to the intel HD 520 only?

    Guys you need to give it a few days to calibrate. I am getting ~ 4 hours the first day or two because all the file synchronization and indexing. Now it is 5 hr remaining at 50%. I set my display driver to intel HD 520 only. Have not tested auto-select. I would expect that will decrease battery life by a couple of hours.
