Yeah you don't have to have anything labeled "Optimus" in the BIOS to
have Optimus. You have to check the specs of the computer. In older
Computers (e.g. Lenovo T530) you could switch between Optimus and
dedicated only. In newer notebooks (starting with Hasewell) there is
normally only Optimus (Intel GPU + Outputs, NVIDIA GPU without outputs),
if not stated otherwise.
