Do yourself a favour and don't buy a laptop with optimus. I have one,
and to spare you the details: the nvidia gpu is not useable without a
lot of trouble. I finally removed both bumblebee and the nvidia drivers, and
recompiled the kernel without nouveau. My machine now runs the
integrated Intel GPU exclusively.

The Intel GPU support is a whole different story. To get a slight
touch what could happen, search after "Hangcheck timer elapsed". There
are TONS of reports..

My advice: try to buy a machine without optimus and with an integrated
AMD graphics (Yes, I know most of the machines ship with an Intel
CPU..).
