A selection of potential problems with the Oculus Rift S - things to know before you buy. See the unboxing.
"Laptop Setup: Interface Requirements
If you’re planning to use a laptop with Rift S, make sure it’s equipped with a Mini DisplayPort. Rift S has a high display bandwidth requirement and needs to interface directly with the GPU on your PC. Most laptops that fall within min or rec spec have a mini DisplayPort connected to the discrete GPU.
However, some laptops only have an HDMI, Thunderbolt, or USB-C display output, and unfortunately may not support Rift S. Currently (May 2019), there are no HDMI to DisplayPort adapters that support the bandwidth throughput required for Rift S. Thunderbolt and USB-C laptops may not be configured to interface with the discrete in-spec GPU. Again, some laptops in this category can be used with a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter, but we can’t guarantee performance. If you’re looking for a new laptop, we strongly recommend picking an Oculus Ready Certified PC.
We also recommend keeping your laptop plugged into a power source while using Rift S to maintain optimal performance."
