Older laptops w/ Optimus allowed choosing Integrated-only video (vs hybrid or vs Discrete). I set up my W520 w/ the Integrated intel cpu and it has been a workhorse.
Contemporary laptops w/ Optimus only allow Hybrid or Discrete. No way to choose just Integrated. Qubes 4.0 and lower don’t handle this very well w/o a lot of boot parameter fiddling and custom X config. However... I just tested a test build (20191227) of R4.1 using Fedora 31 dom0 and 5.4 kernel on a Thinkpad P52 (2018 model w/ Optimus on a Quadra P3200). Other than a bit of blind navigation during the first boot part of the install (and some strategic Bios settings such as setting discrete graphics), it installed ok. Changing screen resolution results in a black screen (fixed via ctrl-alt-f2 then ctrl-alt-f1). Probably would work much better after installing nvidia drivers via rpmfusion-nonfree. But not unusable.
