GM501

[CancerousNinja]

Anyone tested it out in cs go or something? and the temps

[genexis_x]

Why play CSGO with this laptop, even MX150 will run fine

 

If you're buying a laptop, may I know what's your budget? What are your requirements?

[CancerousNinja]

Actually I’m gonna play pubg, r6 and gta v on it but I’m just finding out how well it would handle cs go and how high the temps would be when playing games like pubg

My budget is around 2200 and I’m just trying to find a gaming laptop with the size of a ultrabook and preferably a gtx 1070

You'll be fine with a 1060 or 1070MQ. Clevo P950EP6/P950ER, Asus Zephyrus M (up to full blown 1070N GPU), MSI GE Raider (CFL-H), MSI GS-VR (CFL-H) and even Mechrevo Z2 are some of the good options. Mind you, every thin gaming laptop will have worse thermals (hotter inner temps+surface temps and louder fan noise under load) and throttling issue under full load due to thin profile.

 

Also, where are you from? Is battery life important to you? Is portability really necessary to you?

[CancerousNinja]

2 hours of battery will be fine and I’m very fond of the Optimus tech on the zephyrus m and I’m from Malaysia

[CancerousNinja]

And yes portability is very important to me since I travel a lot 

[CancerousNinja]

Well I’ve seen people doing benchmarks on the zephyrus m and it doesn’t have to deal with real throttling (just dropping a bit from turbo)

Get Illegear Onyx (Mechrevo Z2). Good cooling and build quality. Cheaper than 'big brand' laptop

[CancerousNinja]

But that thing only has a single usb c that doesn’t even support thunderbolt 3, I need at least 4 usb type a

[CancerousNinja]

Oh yea and I’m not buying the laptop online, and I don’t think they sell that brand here

Illegear has a physical shop. Google it.

[CancerousNinja]

I live in the other side of Malaysia so yea

[CancerousNinja]

Just preordered the gm501 at a shop

[CancerousNinja]

Anybody has it now? Can you tell me how well it handles temps?

Try it yourself. Every chip is made different

Not yet as it's still new. Experiment and report back. 

[CancerousNinja]

I bought the gtx 1070 version hby?

Mine arrives at the third week of May 

can’t waittttt 

[CancerousNinja]

Notebook review says that the cpu stays at 88c on maximum load whilst the gpu stays at 80c on a 60min stress test

[CancerousNinja]

Glad I bought the gm501 instead of the gs65 and aero 15x, those laptop’s throttles a lot

When reading stress test section in NBC review, pls don't just read the temps. If you notice carefully you will see the CPU and GPU are throttled for quite a noticeable amount.

 

Every thin gaming laptop will throttle under full load. Thermodynamics is there.

Ok
