Aurora ACT1250, Intel Ultra 9 processor 285, does it have integrated graphics?
I recently ordered the Alienware Aurora with Intel Ultra 9 processor 285. I have since discovered that this CPU has a integrated GPU. The online manual also confirmed that it has integrated Intel graphics. I checked the manual and photos, but I do not see any sort of video output (other than the RTX 5080, of course). The manual explicitly says that the USB-C port is "not enabled for video delivery", otherwise I would assume it uses alt-mode displayport via USB-C.
Does this PC even have the Intel graphics enabled? If so, how do you use it?

Yes, page 18 states that the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has Intel Graphics =
But, page 20 states =
This is why =
- The BIOS Integrated Devices Menu does not give you an option to enable Intel Graphics
- The motherboard was not equipped with a USB-C/DP out port for video. As shown on pages 10/11, the motherboard has non-video data and power delivery USB4 20 Gbps Type-C port

You may need to remove the discrete GPU in order to use the integrated graphics. It's unlikely most buyers of this level of system would use the integrated GPU.

@ejn63 That is my point. There does not seem to be any method to connect the integrated GPU to a display!

@Stargazing Dog There is not, according to the USB logo's on the motherboards backplate.
While Dell does not follow the standard methods for identifying USB ports, this guide provides an explanation of the icons on USB ports.
You would be looking for a Display Port ALT mode icon. To my knowledge, Alienware has never offered onboard graphics output on CPU's that were capable of supporting that.
It's usually a design decision that they made.

To make a long story short, the CPU has the iGPU, but it is disabled in BIOS.
Thanks for all the replies.
