I have a Dell Precision 5520 and Precision 5510 and love them. The 5520 has the i7-7820HQ + Intel 630 in it and I use it most of the time in addition to the once a month or less using the Quadro M1200.
I run Arch Linux and have configured bumblebee (and that whole mess) to selectively run the Quardro M1200 almost never unless I'm gaming. With the integrated graphics I can get 8+ hours easily without anything special with the integrated graphics and the 97Wh battery. My issues: * Anytime I have to use anything Nvidia I hate my life. AMD on my desktop (RX470) is laughably better these days. Intel is ever better. That said the M1200 works optimus/bumblebee. * When I use the Dell Thunderbolt dock the desktop responsiveness comes to a crawl after working for hours with 2x external 4k monitors + the integrated 4k monitor. Not sure if this is my desktop environment or the GPU. Tried getting the Quardro to drive the external displays but gave up after a fight (see above about Nvidia). Since you're asking specifically about Intel graphics, I must mention that a recent bug in the latest Arch kernel stung my 5510 (E3-1505 + P530 GPU), discussion @ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102929 .
