    Hi all, I just received my Eluktronics Mech 17. I love it so far, however when I play on the external screen, it is extremely choppy and drastic frame reduction. Does anyone know why? Also, have you had an issues with the screen wobbling really easily, like the hinge is not tightened? Thanks!

    Try "tskill dwm" in an admin command window, see if that improves choppiness.

    It’s running of the iGPU instead of the main GPU. I often had to restart mine to fix it, even after selecting the dedicated GPU for specific applications. Don’t know if there’s a permanent fix besides rebooting when it happens.
