Im hopeful that all thin and light laptops will have a better cooling system thats quieter and more efficient for these 45w 6 core cpu's!

That looks impressive for something with an RTX 2080.

This is the aero 15x

That's more like it! Now to wait for the reviews and see what the thermals and fan noise is like

There's a dedicated aero 15x thread here and may I mention its very popular

So I see. I'm thinking even a 2070-MaxQ would perform more efficiently and faster than my existing 1070. The 2080 machines are amazing but so much more expensive than I was expecting, bar one, which seems to be a 2080 Max Q version.

Yea should be

The Gigabyte and Aorus range of RTX laptops have now been listed on Overclockers.

AORUS RTX Laptops: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gami...ops/nvidia-rtx?ckSuppliers=41&ckTab=0&sSort=2

have they improved the cooling system on the aerox?

In the first leaked benchmarks the 2070 MaxQ is a chunk faster than a desktop 1080 but I'm waiting for some more legitimate numbers. TDP is the same as the 1070 Max-Q

link?

It's a difficult decision for me - I've got a very capable MSI GT73VR which just about copes with everything I throw its way, so the new laptop would have to be equal to and better for me to invest. Do I need Thunderbolt? My price point is the 2070, but is that going to be a big enough upgrade to warrant the extra pennies.

razer blade 15 or aero 15x mate!

Here's a standard RTX 2070 notebook firestrike result.

Let's look at the graphics only score as this laptop has a desktop CPU:

This is not the Max-Q GPU

That's just about on par with my old AORUS X5V6 GTX 1070 with an overclock:

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14356419

RTX 2070 GPU score 19,353
GTX 1070 (OC) GPU score 19,510

That's hugely disappointing!

so pointless to get a rtx laptop then!

Yes, if you already have a GTX 1070 or 1080 notebook.

No, if if you have a 1060 or old gen notebook.

The newest AORUS 15 X9 with RTX 2070 (hmmmm), 144Hz IPS display (upgrade), i7-8750H (upgrade), 512GB PCI-e SSD (twice the size of the X5V7's SSD), and thinner bezels for a lower price, £2,099.99 (X5V7 retail was £2,249.99) seems like a great deal. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aoru...z-intel-i7-8750h-gaming-laptop-lt-03a-au.html

So a 1060 vs 2060 is bigger difference then 1070/1080 vs 2070/2080 ?

What about the 2050 ?

I wonder why Nvidia's share price fell of a cliff in Q4 last year?

RTX being a flop although I bought one and it's brilliant

Really wish they would do away with chin-cam to stop the bezel at the top being 3mm thicker.

Yea that chin cam is a deal breaker

Personally I think they should do away with webcams altogether - the ones integrated into a laptop are never that good.
When was the last time any of us used a webcam for any length of time? I think the last time I did was about 10 years ago!

Umm my job relies on it as I interact with Co workers and via video conference

£20 for a 1080p clip on webcam makes that not a concern.

Vs buying a laptop that has the camera places correctly saving you from buying and lugging around a separate camera
