![]() ![]() ![]() Not ideal for video conferencing, but at least the camera is there unlike ASUS ROG Strix G. Nosecam: As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a terrible position to place a webcam. Only 3 profiles: Quiet, Balanced and Performance which adjust max TDP and fan RPM by themselves. Clean installed Windows and installed only necessary programs. Couldn't install 1903 update without BSOD. Lots of McAfee, Lenovo and Windows bloat. Software and Drivers: Lackluster at best. Speakers: Not mind blowing or loud but louder and clearer sounding than most gaming laptops. ![]() Suitable for content creators, gamers, programmers, and most workloads very adequately.Ĥ. Display: Awesome display with 94% sRGB gamut coverage, 144Hz, IPS, 3ms response time. Most ports are at the back which keeps cables away, although 2 USB ports and a 3.5mm jack are present on the sides for easy accessibility. Made entirely of plastic but built like a tank. Can be used in professional environments as well (although LED at the back cannot be disabled). White LEDs in "Y" in the back and 3-stage keyboard backlight (off, low, high). Aesthetics and build quality: Anti-RGB understated look. Samsung SSD hits around 3GBps read and 2GBps write speeds.Ģ. Minimal 2-3% throttling is observed during unrealistic stress tests. My machine doesn't thermal throttle (especially after tweaking like this with it) in gaming. This machine is very capable and has great thermal performance. Performance increases by 20-25% (120+ FPS with the same settings) by adding another 8GB DDR4 2666 stick (single vs dual channel). Got 90 FPS with built in display on high-extreme settings and similar with external 1440p display on medium settings. While gaming (Batman: The Enemy Within), temps are mostly in 70s (both CPU and GPU) with CPU spiking to low 80s. Got temperatures around high 80s - low 90s (with 30☌ ambient temperature) in AIDA64 stress tests for the CPU and low 70s in Furmark for the GPU stress test. fan speed), with CPU voltage offset to -120mV (undervolt), GPU memory and clock offset of +125MHz (overclock)(I've heard around 200mV CPU undervolt and 180 MHz GPU overclock, depends, its all silicon lottery, play around with your specific system and stress test like hell for stability). Thermals and performance: Used this laptop in performance mode (60W CPU power limit and max. This is a great laptop and very few laptops come close to it (e.g. ![]()
