It sounds like I was wrong, very nice job proving your point.

Blackstar -aka 'at2'- is not interested in doing the plugin I'm afraid, as they already have a similar product around, in which they seem to have committed pretty heavily, and made for Nvidia's Mental Ray, RS real competitor.

Any update on how Octane for R13 is going?

I would recommend a Clevo P180HM instead. Clevo made Alienware laptops until just a few years ago, and ever since Dell seems to be playing catch up. I use a Clevo for all my professional work and it's impressive just how well it handles heat during renders that take a week or more.
