Why do people keep talking about "Thermal Throttling?"

Wait, you don't want to tell us what notebook you got just because you think that this will annoy me? You really are a weirdo, man 😀

No just saving on a wall of words, know how it is 😉 annoy never really considered too trivial methinks, and I may or may not keep the formula, although the scalability very much appeals. Just a big gaming beast, gut the software and you've basically got a portable workstation sans the more exotic GPU. If you need the Quadro GPU, Xenon CPU, ECC RAM fair enough, equally this level of hardware in a portable format is deeply into 5 figures, which makes no sense unless you can monetise the hardware, and have constant use.

I'm ok with downgrading my GPU if it means that I can comfortably carry around my laptop everywhere I go. Practicality trumps absolute performance demands in my case. Not to mention that I don't have that much use for a GPU besides gaming...

That's absolutely fair enough, users needs versus the practicality of the device, and you don't want a heavyweight dGPU unless you have a need, power, temp, weight etc. equally if you need it's nice to have the option. I don't mind the bulk as I need the additional performance these days, and as I say fast silicon in a small chassis is just not going to work when you consider the total TDP of the system. Some can pull it off, equally akin to sharing the room with a helicopter 😛

I gathered that much from your description 😀

Just in case 😛 I like SB2, although similar to the 1st Gen and Mac's I tend to stay clear for a good while and let the manufacturer workout the production kinks.

I doubt you will get a response out of Q-6 🙄

He is known for many things but lying is not one of them

Just another noob...
