Working two jobs, both of which require a laptop... has got me thinking maybe I will upgrade my gtx 1070 laptop...

However, I want to make sure the rtx 3080 I get has max power...

Acer AN515-58-56CH Gaming Laptop Intel Core i5-12500H 2.50 GHz 15.6" Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Newegg.com

Buy Acer Nitro 5 - 15.6" 144 Hz IPS - Intel Core i5 12th Gen 12500H (2.50GHz) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU - 16 GB DDR5 - 512 GB PCIe SSD - Windows 11 Home 64-bit - Gaming Laptop (AN515-58-56CH ) with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Once you know, you Newegg!

this is the one I am looking at... says its almost 6 pounds, which is 2 pounds heavier than most rtx 3070/3080 laptops... so I am assuming it is max power due to the extra cooling it comes


edit: nm i just had to do more research...

Up to 1245 MHz
Maximum Graphics Power
Up to 100 W

so this is the max Q variant... cause max P boosts to 1600 mhz... RIP. nm i will be passing on this laptop.

this is a good one, I actually had my eye on this one, i just have my heart set on a 17.3" screen size... its a good deal though other than that. i really do want 17.3 though...

I really wish they would bring back 18.4 screen size laptops, with slim bezels they would only be like 17.3 form factor... @TheLostSwede tell your Taiwan contacts to stop being silly... give us 18.4" gaming laptops with slim bezels!!!

don't mind me. just being my eccentric self, but i would love that.

Also, tell them to not include a laptop battery, but instead give it more cooling.

i just want a plug in desktop replacement I can carry around that is plug and play... sigh...
