Battery, Acoustic and Thermal Performance
Battery Life
Battery life is.. well it’s not great, but with such high specifications, this is hardly surprising. A bigger battery would make an already fairly impractical laptop even heavier and more expensive for very little benefit, so it’s best to keep those power cables plugged in while performing demanding tasks.
Acoustic Performance
At idle, the system is much quieter than I expected, and while it is a little noisy as full power, it rarely reaches these levels in day-to-day gaming tasks.
Thermal Performance
The cooling hardware certainly does a good job, clocking in much cooler than I expected, showing that the large cooling solution on the interior does a fantastic job overall.
