But 296.10 is still kind of old when you look at Nvidia's general release rate. Are you sure you aren't stable on the latest (304.79)? Only trouble I've seen with Sagers and the latest 304 drivers was that Nvidia didn't include the Hardware IDs of some new Sagers with 600 series GPU's in them (which of course is easily fixed by modifying your INF file then rerunning the installation). I haven't seen any reliable complaints about stability with the drivers on Clevo barebones o_O
Also, your desktop is still on old drivers too xP Also has different hardware to boot. The 560 Ti is based off the GF 114 core while the 560M is based on the GF 116, so it's quiet possible that different drivers will affect your desktop and laptop GPU's differently. Just seems odd to me that you're using old WHQL drivers instead of the latest beta when you have a known performance issue
EDIT:
Also, does it still stutter when you Right Click Waterfox's icon and run it with your Nvidia GPU? Come to think of it, this driver talk might not actually be all that useful if you haven't tried this yet, as WF defaults with running on the Intel GPU.

But the thing is that I don't use Beta drivers from NVIDIA? I usually use the latest WHQL driver unless it is unstable for a particular system and then I downgrade to one version less?
How do you exactly "run WF with NVIDIA GPU instead of Intel GPU"? Well, my laptop doesn't have an Intel GPU for sure, it is disabled by default.
