It seems like it hits near the 90's in cpu and gpu temps and fans hit pretty loud. Plus as you play games, performance of the GPU keeps dropping due to the temps. That said, gosh this thing looks smexy. Why can't more "gaming" laptops look normal? Besides looks, RGB makes me feel like I am more likely to get robbed. I would much rather my machine look like some plain workhorse.
It's smaller than my desktop GPU, by quite a significant margin.

Idk about most laptops having as bad of thermals. There is a channel that tracks thermals on YouTube. Google jerrodtech I think. You will find an excel sheet of noise and temps at averages, min and max.
That being said, this is a s form factor and being loud and hot isn't a surprise. I just think giving a pass and calling it a sometimes-game is a bit of a cop out. It's like saying a fiat is a sometimes-car. You know what? Saying that, maybe you have a point.

In this laptop or some other laptops like Dell XPS 15, the GPU is configured to just 35W-40W limite and that significantly hurts the performance, over 40% sometimes. Now a days, just the name of the GPU does not mean anything, you need to check the Power level configuration. There are plenty low powered RTX 3070 laptops which get beaten by a laptop with full powered RTX 3060...and so on.

What makes this ROG Flow different is the custom made XG Mobile Dock and the Docking port which has a full power 150W RTX 3080 in it and the best part is that that custom port is capable of PCIe 3.0x8 speed, compare to the X4 speed in Thunderbolt. As a result, that Mobile RTX 3080 in that XG Mobile dock connected with this tiny laptop, can beat other laptops with far more powerful Desktop GPU connected via Thunderbolt 3/4 port, due to the extra memory bandwidth.

Thanks for educating me. I feel like it's an ideal setup if I could stomach the price. Like I really like the idea.
I miss the Max-Q/P designations. They made filtering results based on personal preferences so much easier. This one at 35W would be great for the dock as someone mentioned earlier or just lower spec gaming. At 13" it's got some amazing portability going on. For the right user, this price/size is golden.

It looks like it gets stuck at times when a metal pin doesn't adjust when pushed.
