Hi,
Do you know when we're likely to see any independent reviews or benchmarks for some popular games (e.g. have review units been sent out?). I'd love to get my preorder in but i've been bitten by misleading SLI benchmarks in the past .
It would be great to know what average frame rate we can expect for games like Witcher 3 at high/ultra settings. 3DMark scores are ok but something real world would be better info to make a pre order decision with.
On the surface it looks like it could be all things to all men at a good price. The X7 was a little too big and the fan noise make it a bit anti-social to use in an office, the X3 high resolution on the small screen made it a no go for day to day dev/productivity work. This does look like the baby bears' porridge of gaming laptops, the following are the only concerns for me (and i imagine most ppl who want a laptop for work and play):
- Real world benchmarks (fps at high/ultra presets)
- Battery life at mid-high demand (running a VM or playing a game)
- Comments on fan noise and thermal throttling (I appreciate we might not get answers to this until independent reviews are out).
Any advice on the above would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
Hi garyoleary,
We have requested some benchmarks on new titles to be carried out, and we will post the results as soon as they are through. Probably after the weekend, but as soon as they are here, we will share them.
We also expect media reviews to be published within the next week or so, again once live we will post here.
Thanks,
