What I mean by better support is easy install and configuration. In the |
| 10 |
Windows |
| 11 |
I just install the driver and the driver is responsible for offloading or |
| 12 |
switching the chips. |
| 13 |
I spent a couple of hours to configure it and gave up, because it is not |
| 14 |
easy to configure or |
| 15 |
even easy to troubleshoot. |

Thats right for the current setup, but it is possible to have a laptop with |

a powerful Intel GPU, right? |
