Hey all,
First post here but I am an active poster on the Resolume FB group as well as VJ Union Global. It's come time that I need to upgrade to a new laptop and through all the digging on the facebook groups and this forum, I haven't been able to come to a solid conclusion on which product to go with. The reviews are mixed all around and it seems like there is no clear answer on which laptop to go with. The typical answer is "go Clevo or Sager" or "avoid MSi" or "My alienware f*cking crushes it". And given all this, I have looked into Clevo - specifically the P970RF with a RTX 2070 Max-Q. Sales support with AVA Direct told me that there is no clear path to disabling Optimus on these new Clevo laptops.
So, what do I do? I can't find it in me to dump $2-3k on a laptop based on a prayer that it'll cooperate with Resolume out of the box, or at least without a known solution to disabling Optimus.
Is there any list of laptop models that are not victims of the Intel/Nvidia/Windows10 havoc? I just want to spend my money and have a product that works. It seems to me that Resolume should take some responsibility and present some list of fully compatible products that work with their software.
