Can flash vbios to higher wattage if someone willing to do that. Still a good price for a this specs.
Known problems are:
1. battery life is horrible due to GCC. Some reddit post share their experience on how to go around that (disable MSIV, aeroctl, etc.)
2. dongle life. i find it okay since Im comfortable with plugging 1 usb c dock/hub where everything else is plugged in already. Maybe bothersome to someone who goes out a lot.
3.Leaning towards the heavy side even if its thin for a laptop with 3070ti
you tested it? that would be great if someone shows the results
Won't be a good idea. 150W is too much for the chassis. But again, this is not a dedicated gaming 1st machine but geared toward creative and productivity professionals.
