bobo619 wroteNever i repeat never buy a laptop for it s aesthetics especially slim ones i have experience first hand. The first thing you should seek before buying one is checking feedback online on thermals even if you need to sacrifice a bit on thickness.
I second this, as someone who went with 3 gaming laptops in 2 years (sold used). Fan noise issues, fan speed regulation annoyance, aggressive alternating throttling (esp when CPU and GPU have combined heatsink). I'm not against throttling as you don't lose much surprisingly, but one stutter is enough to dump it down the bin imo.
Pro tip: Take any tip or info from Notebookreviews.com (forum aswell) as a grain of salt. It's the leading website when it comes to AstroTurfing, very easy to fall into their trap, company representatives and retailers are masqueraded as forum members with multiple accounts.
