The laptop I got from JustLaptops is an Asus A14 with discrete RTX4050 GPU.

I didnt choose this unit for the GPU, I was after a backlit keyboard, dual NVMe, decent wifi and smaller than 15.6".

I would also have liked an ethernet port but with Wifi6 in the house maybe I wont miss it.

It is otherwise well appointed with ports.

The GPU is not important to me but I am curious whether it's normal to not have it connected to the display.

It seems like it is connected to the HDMI port only.

Device Manager:

Win11 System Settings

Display2 being my TV connected via HDMI.

My experience, such as it is, with desktop pcs is that the installation of a discrete graphics card disables the onboard graphics.

Not so here obviously.

Is this a normal installation of a GPU for a laptop?

If not, best to get it rectified sooner than later.

Even though it's a situation I can live with, the next owner of this device might not.
