Laptops Disable Laptop graphics card

Hi Guys,

Was thinking of getting a Xiaomi Air 13, mainly for some programming work on the go. It comes with a Nvidia 940M graphics processor which is rather unnecessary for my work. I was wondering if there is a way to disable it entirely to save on battery life and heat. I understand the graphics are switchable, so on low load, it uses the integrated graphics, but I am not sure if the GPU is completely disabled (or just in a low-power state).

If you set "Integrated graphics" in 3D settings under Nvidia control panel, it should work.
