Ik heb een Asus ROG GL702VM (GL702VM-GC026T-BE) gekocht. Niks over te vinden hier op Tweakers dus start deze thread om m'n wedervaarten te delen. Anderen zijn natuurlijk welkom om dat ook te doen.
Ik heb eerder een heel verhaal in het Engels op Notebookcheck geplaatst. Ik hoop dat men mij toestaat dit hier (ietwat geëdit) te posten:
Based on the review here (http://www.notebookcheck....book-Review.186918.0.html) I was hoping for good thermal and fan noise performance, compared to other GTX1060 laptops. I'm not seeing it though.
Running Prime95 (blend, 8 processes) and Furmark in parallel will push the CPU temps to 92°C and GPU to 85°C in 10 minutes or so. At that point the CPU will throttle down. Ambient temp +/-18°C.
Running a more conservative test closer to what my use will be (live audiovisual media performance, not gaming) the CPU will also push up to the 90's. Test is Prime 95 blend with 2 processes and Unigine Valley.
Undervolting the CPU by -0.125V will keep it at 90°C, just under throttling. This is with a room temp around 18°C so a hotter environment will push it to throttle. And this machine will see hotter environments...
Strangely, Furmark will make the GPU throttle down to +/-1260MHz instantly whereas Unigine Valley will run it at the expected boost of +/-1660MHz. I guess this is due to the synthetic test nature of Furmark. I wasn't able to push the GPU into throttling with Unigine. At 100% load without P95 running alongside it doesn't overheat. With P95 alongside the CPU overheats first, not the GPU. Maxes at 85°C.
All this said, when you look for it, all laptops with GTX1060 and up have cooling issues. I'm personally trying to find the most optimal one that's relatively silent, has Thunderbolt3 and doesn't break my back.
I'm disappointed that the Notebookcheck review led me to believe this one could be it but now I'm not so sure.
Other notes:
- screen shows noticeable edge bleed, haven't decided yet if it bothers me enough to return it, this being a workstation for me and not a movie/game/entertainment machine.
- apart from that I like the screen, not super bright as noted elsewhere but I mostly work in dark environments anyway
- touch pad feels great (coming from an ultra cheap crappy laptop though)
- don't like the gamer styling and keyboard layout, replacing numlock and end keys for it is dumb. i can live with it but i wish non-gamer styled laptops with GTX1060 and up would come out.
- numpad is present but it's slimmed down, and the arrow keys as well. even my super cheap 15" HP has a full sized numpad. add the gamer styled nonsense and typography on the keyboard keys and you have a useability-crippled keyboard on a relatively high-end 17" whereas a budget 15" got it perfectly right. ridiculous.
- plastic case is not very stiff. i didn't expect the toughest build quality as it is relatively cheap.
- speakers are relatively good. for laptop speakers.
