Yes, I agree, I remember having an old 17” laptop that tipped the scales at almost 5Kg, it was never fun traveling with all that weight in my backpack.
The CPU tops at 89 °C, while the GPU reaches 72 °C when playing Cyberpunk for extended periods of time. Also, you gotta remember, this is not a full desktop card, but a mobile part rated to top at around 100W if I’m not mistaken, heck the power brick is rated for 230W for the whole system, can’t cram a 320W video card in a laptop of any reasonable size or weight lol.
As for the battery, I’m going off the rating in the official specs, as well as the one in the battery label, either way, I tested it to last a bit over 6 hours with medium use, like browsing the net and streaming videos, haven’t tested it while gaming, but I’m sure doing so, while not plugged into an outlet, would greatly reduce the performance of both the CPU and the GPU.
My previous gaming laptop, another 15.6” with an i7 7700HQ and a GTX 1070 was only able to last less than 2 hours on battery power under light load, so I consider this a huge improvement.
