Lenovo Yoga C940 usability under load

[makaroniandcheese]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone that owned a Lenovo Yoga C940 (specifically one of the 14 inch models) had any issues with the keyboard becoming too hot while the CPU was under load. My main concern is that, while I want to upgrade to this laptop, I haven't been able to get a definitive answer to if this occurs. My current laptop becomes almost unusable, because parts of the keyboard become too hot to touch while doing anything that pushes the CPU. Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you often do heavy workload, Ultrabook might not be the best choice

I tested mine under some load (light gaming without egpu) yesterday and it seems that the part right above the F keys becomes quite hot but until now i had no issue with using the keyboard. I want to try some more gaming and graphic related stuff later this week with an egpu, after that i can probably say more about the heat under heavy load.

Hey, I know this is long after your initial comment, but did you end up testing under load with an eGPU? Thank you in advance if you reply.
