You can try undervolting, but I found that repasting the i7-6800HQ and i7-8750h machines helped quite a bit - 20oF change from pre and post when running Demigod as an example game.
For reference I used IC Diamond and redid both the CPU and GPU.
Back on topic, I am very interested in upgrading my main laptop (Alienware 17 R1 - i7-4900MQ / GTX 780m) with one of these new machines. My concern is all of these GTX 1660 video cards and some latency I have seen with playing with a buddy who has a Ryzen 7 1800X.
Why WiFi 5 instead of WiFi 6 to make it future proof for a laptop that's coming out soon? I guess as long as we can swap out the WiFi card then no biggie.
Otherwise, specs look solid for the price. Too bad no Thunderbolt 3 support.
