In arch that laptop works pretty well without tweaks.
Don't try to use the GPU and the CPU at the same time for longer than 5 minutes or you will be very disappointed (I own the same model).
- colordrops 9y agoWhat are you referring to? Does it overheat? Battery run down?
- quincunx 9y agoI don't know what jorgemf is referring to but I own the same laptop. It's bad at switching between the intel and nvidia GPUs, most notably in Chrome it even causes lockups. Pretty sad they haven't resolved it yet, out of the box Chrome is now locked down to Intel on Win10.
- jorgemf 9y agoYou need to use Bumblebee for this, and then launch the apps with primusrun or optirun. Some programs like steam doesn't need anything, and work without issues.
- jorgemf 9y agoThe thermal zone of the VRMs gets hot pretty quickly and it causes power throlling which decreases the CPU to 700Mhz. It is even much worse in windows due to some drivers.
