After going all out and purchasing a top-of-the-line laptop nearly 5 years ago (can’t believe it’s been that long), I decided it was time to go all out again and acquire the greatest performing laptop in the world. I’m approaching 20 and only play civ 6 and use Ableton, but who cares? It’s water-cooled, which is cool and fuck, and it should last me at least another 5 years. I’ll be sure to follow up with benchmarks once it arrives in 7-9 days.
About 3 months before new GPUs are announced and 2 months before black Friday. Excellent financial acumen
Highly doubt they’re gonna drop a 4090 super. Besides this is something I’ve wanted since they were announced in August. I live well below my means anyways. Rent is 700/mo and both my cars combined are 60/mo (insurance). If they drop a mobile chip with more than 16gb of vram I’ll be a little angrier but I doubt that will happen. It’s usually not even 10% higher clocks. Black Friday sales last year were bummy as shit and that was heading into a new gen of hardware. This years will probably be the same. I’m looking for an upgrade, not a 4060.
Gddr7.
there will be 2 16gb cards, at least one will be stronger, you’ll also get a better CPU without the instability/defect issues.
Didn’t end up with a 2000 paperweight 5 years ago
You apparently aren’t aware of the 13th & 14th gen Intel issues. Google that and/or read through forums and cross your fingers the “it doesn’t affect laptop CPUs” crowd are right.
I’m not worried about it. Worst case scenario I undervolt it. The issue seems to be caused by high resistance connections (think back to when desktop 4090s were melting connectors because they wernt plugged in all the way) but regardless of what I think didn’t they just fix the issue with another bios update?
