Sadly trade in value is not that much, they are offering me $1.8k for a laptop that cost me $3.5k less than a month ago. This card made want to sell this computer but I will probably wait until it gets better = next gen to try to sell it (if I can).The more I look at this chip, the more impressed I am. I have a 10lbs plus Alienware 17 R3 with 1070 chip that puts out 5.9Tflops that draws 115 watts or so on the GPU. Fast forward to the 5600m that's putting out only 11% slower performance at around 50 watts. When compared to its contemporaries like the RTX 2060 Max Q, you're getting 15% better performance at 60% less power usage.
This chip is awesome, but costs an arm and a leg.
PS Did they fix the 20 watt open lid with 4K+ display bug in this one?
Tempting to trade in my 7 month old MBP 16....
Nice to see it performs a bit better than a 1080 GTX at least on the metal side
