Why RTX Max-Q sucks...well explained

Changing my preference on 'good battery life'...usually any laptop with 8+hrs battery life is considered good IMO but now 7+hrs battery life will also be categorized as 'good'.

Here are my early thoughts on RTX laptops after looking at several reviews (focusing on performance+thermals):
1. 2080MQ thin and lights are toasters. Yet the GPU performs just slightly better than a 1070MQ. If that's the case, why don't just go for 2060? Much cheaper. I believe 2070MQ has similar behavior too. This also confirms my early prediction where 2070MQ/2080MQ is a joke
2. 2080 'normal sized' laptop (eg MSI GE75) runs a bit hot with some throttling. Bulkier ones (eg MSI GT75) can handle just fine. 2070 will run hot in those chassis that cannot handle 1070 well (eg Asus GL504)

Wanted to try something new so there you go...from now on I will be streaming on Twitch everyday - going through posts in laptop sub-forum in LTT and LYN (local) forums, explaining how I recommend laptops. I will also give my opinions/comments on new laptop reviews and laptop news. And yes, I will be talking, but no face reveal. Sorry if the audio isn't clear, I will be using laptop built-in mic. I don't have a fixed time on the stream as I will do it during free time (when I open LTT forum, which is my daily routine), time zone is GMT+8.

nice location.... "on the event horizon"
