What do you mean " in library"...
And I would consider a problem with anti aliasing a pretty significant issue. Not sure why there are so many people still falling victim to laptops and high expectations.

Don't worry about that. The test hasn't been updated to be aware of that card

Stop with that BS.  That used to be true, but not the case with the latest round of laptop hardware.

So, the vast majority of laptops (especially old laptops with integrated GPUs and Optimus) just don't work at all. However, some of the newer, desktop class GPU laptops, can actually work. Depending on the model, there could be a variety of issues, so even the laptops that claim "VR Ready" don't necessary mean "Oculus Ready" and won't necessarily work 100%. But they can work in some cases. 

In terms of the "blurry problem" you're probably just not used to using an VR headset and seeing a screen enlarged greatly over your field of view, which results in lower quality looking images. There is also a software element to it, and many games render at lower than screen resolution to keep performance high. This will happen on some of the higher-end games, unless you have a top class card like a desktop 1080.
