      I would like to know that, specially with proprietary drivers. I wonder if bumblebee-like features could get integrated

        they don't support prime so they can't support tear-free prime

            Funny, as far as I'm aware, PRIME is a play on Nvidia's Optimus technology (as is Bumblebee) but Nvidia isn't compatible with it.
            Meanwhile, AMD created Enduro (which does the same thing) but went completely ignored.

              Only left to find good laptop with hq i7, Polaris GPU and good screen, keyboard and touchpad. For now only MacBook Pro has that but lacks on memory and it is crApple.

                Probably because AMD's Enduro worked only on proprietary driver that sucked, and because post 2013 it's hard to find a laptop with an AMD GPU at all (apart from totally retarded setups like a high-end APU with crippled GPU + crippled dedicated AMD GPU, from lenovo).

                  Gotta love this new "let's put desktop GPUs in laptops" trend, bulky laptops aren't yet dead.
