Found a really great looking deal on a 2070 gaming laptop from Dell, even if it is just a Max-Q version. Looks like it's ready for next business day delivery and 10% cash back at cash rewards bringing the price to $1,419.5. Really difficult to make a decision on what gaming laptop to buy today :/

    Apologies - I'm totally out of the loop (and lazy to Google) - what's wrong with Max Q?

    • techie8055 on 19/05/2021 - 10:22
      +2

      its more power efficient but less powerful

    • CEO Rachel Jake on 19/05/2021 - 10:23
      +2

      The Max-Q version is designed for thin and light laptops so it uses less power, puts out less heat and gives overall less performance. Still a powerful chip but considerably weaker than laptops with full fat RTX 2070s. Here are some differences with the 2070 and 2070 Max-Q

      • FireRunner on 19/05/2021 - 10:37
        +1

        Here's the two GPU's in a side-by-side comparison from same site. Note that the numbers can be a bit rough since results are taken across a variety of laptops with different configurations

  • Danstar on 19/05/2021 - 10:24

    I got this exact model except with a 2060 (dont think its a MaxQ) and can highly recommend it. Does get quite warm, but never had a laptop that doesn't.

    Very smooth and no issues other than when I udated the alienware app, kept getting blue screen so formatted

    • jeefbeef on 19/05/2021 - 12:04

      Funnily enough the RTX 2060 non Max-Q that you've got performs essentially the same as the RTX 2070 Max-Q. You made the right choice!

      • Danstar on 19/05/2021 - 13:38

        Ah good. And I got mine for $1360~ About 3-4 months ago. It was from outlet store. Looked brand new when I got it.

  • mandelbrot on 19/05/2021 - 10:40

    I've got this laptop. Would not recommend. It's hot hot hot! And keeps shutting down after about 30 minutes of light gaming (fortnite). This is after reapplying thermal paste, undervolting and sitting on a laptop fan.

    • Homr on 19/05/2021 - 10:50
      +3

      wow, how can they even allow to sell it then??

    • Moonlight Flower on 19/05/2021 - 10:58
      +1

      I can confirm that this is the case for many Dell laptop models. Some models even have BIOS locked max temperature so while it's safe to use normally, it's very annoying to see lag spike while gaming because CPU/GPU clock dropped to keep the temperature below limit.

      • Homr on 19/05/2021 - 11:01
        +2

        I have a dell vostro and my laptop idles at 60 degrees.

        I feel like "gaming laptops" are a scam since they don't even perform what they are supposed to

        • Moonlight Flower on 19/05/2021 - 11:07
          +1

          They are really a scam. Their legit gaming laptops are the Alienware series, but Alienware brand are super overpriced even with discount.

          So you either ended up buying a scam of Dell gaming laptop, or paying for overpriced Alienware brand.

            @Moonlight Flower: I heard the Asus G14 is good

            I'm waiting for the 1660ti version to hit sub $1400

          • malich on 19/05/2021 - 12:01

            @Moonlight Flower: Haven't had any issues with Lenovo Legion laptops. I'm able to play destiny or outer worlds consistently with my 2060 equiped Legion.

    • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 11:31

      That's terrible why don't you return it?

      My 4 year old precision 3510 (same as latitude 5520) does the same thing when running 100% CPU on autocad

      Dies completely

      Used to do it instantly but after reapplying thermal paste lasted a bit longer

      The hinge is coming off too which is why I upgraded

    • malich on 19/05/2021 - 12:03
      +1

      I know you've probably tried, but just incase - I'd recommend setting a max frame rate within the game settings if you haven't done so. Capping at 60fps could fix your problem

      • mandelbrot on 20/05/2021 - 10:58

        Actually, I haven't tried reducing the frame rate. Will give it a go

    • Alpine58 on 19/05/2021 - 12:32
      +1

      I agree with this. My G5 (AMD Version) is awaiting collection by Dell for a refund, after 2 new Motherboards, new SSD and new RAM within 2 months.

      Constant restarts (instant black) and boot issues and freezing issues I can't be bothered with it.

      Must be all the cooling problems mentioned above

    Lenovo 5i might be better with its cooling system

  • Steakz on 19/05/2021 - 11:34

    Tbh not really a deal. Each to their own I guess.

    • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 11:38
      +1

      Agree but anything with a decent card seems overpriced these days if you need a new "casual gaming" laptop, and any great model takes weeks to order, unless 1660ti is enough for you which it's not quite for me, the newer 2060's (similar or better performance to these 2070 max-q's) being my bottom line

      • Steakz on 19/05/2021 - 11:45
        -4

        It all depends on your usage. Tho either way you look at it there are better and cheaper options!

        • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 11:47

          Care to share better and cheaper options with a 2060 or 2070 (or 3060 / 3070)?

          • Steakz on 19/05/2021 - 11:54
            -6

            @s3n: Let me just whip up your preferences and link em to you.
            Sigh 😔

            • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 12:03

              @Steakz: I don't follow

              I suppose anyone at this $1600 price point is looking for the highest FPS 1080p performance to match the 15" 144hz monitor (preferably with good colour so they can do some work) they can get because 1440p is out of their reach, the next level seems to be looking for a 3070 or 2080 super which is touching $2400+ level)

              That usually means sacrificing portability a bit for better performance since anything slimmer like this Dell burns to a crash or throttles

              Judging by your generic responses and evasive tactics I'm not expecting much in the way of suggestions just more generic responses so why do you bother?

              • Steakz on 19/05/2021 - 12:07

                @s3n: Where you just waiting to copy pasta this

                  • Steakz on 19/05/2021 - 12:19

      Can you elaborate why its not a good deal?
      Would you have a link to a better one?

    • ywpn on 19/05/2021 - 11:48
      -1

      Agreed.
      Objectively it's a deal, but the price/performance or value proposition is quite poor, and then factoring in the mixed reviews in the comments here, I'm also staying clear.

      • Vampyr on 19/05/2021 - 12:55
        +1

        Why the upvote?

        • ywpn on 19/05/2021 - 13:18

          Objectively, it's a deal (i.e., components compared to other laptops are good for the price), so upvote.

          But if I'm paying $1561 (for my requirements - to power a racing sim) - it's a lot of money to gamble with if it potentially throttles performance and overheats.

          As per the link from canberrascooter, I'm going with the Lenovo 5i for $1600.

          • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 14:00

            @ywpn: If you're powering a sim I'd assume it's a fixed setup

            Better to go for a desktop surely?

            This kind of laptop is for occasional moving about so if you're not using it you're better with 50-100% better performance of a desktop

  • wangsk on 19/05/2021 - 12:02

    Thanks, just ordered one with 1660 ti, after cashback is around $1250, next day delivery

  • Synticulous on 19/05/2021 - 13:06

    Is it odd that nowadays any system being sold with a GPU should IMO, be factoring in potential mining revenue as part of its value proposition?

    The max q does push 40MH.

    • Synticulous on 19/05/2021 - 13:08

      And the 1660ti should push 31MH.

    • Canberralad92 on 19/05/2021 - 13:14

      Only when mining has a strong ROI on the purchase. Ie. "Days to pay off"

      • Canberralad92 on 19/05/2021 - 13:15

        This is similar mining performance to a 3060 max p laptop. Which can be had around 1550-1600 dollars on sale/cashback.

        • s3n on 19/05/2021 - 20:21

          Can you link me to a time a 3060 laptop has ever been sold for $1600? I’m interested because I’m keeping an eye on prices
