Solved! Cannot find lightweight laptops with Nvidia 10x0(ti) GPU but below 1.5kg

[modeonoff]

Hello, laptops with Nvidia 10x0 (ti) GPU always weight over 1.5kg. In the case of 1070 (ti), about 3kg. As for 1080 (ti), about 5 or more kg. Is this because of thermal issue?

I am looking for a laptop with the following specifications. Does it exist?

- Below 1.5kg. Ideally 1.3kg or lighter
- 14-15" screen
- Has Nvidia10x0 (ti) GPU. The more powerful with more VRAM the better
- Allow me to install Linux and Windows. Ideally, Linux, Windows and Mac OS

Is there such as laptop?

The closest is the MSI GS43VR 7RE-064DE - Phantom Pro weighting 1,6Kg and with a GTX 1060 (6GB) Mobile graphics card.
And as always a slim case with a dedicated gpu comes with loud fans and high temperatures

If an MX 150 suffices look for the ASUS Zenbook series!

Thanks. I see some laptops such as those from Lenovo use MX series GPU. How is the performance compared with the GTX 10x0 (ti)? My main use is for CUDA computations. Typically people use Nvidia GTX 10x0 (ti).

Is it better to get a lightweight laptop of about 1kg with 14" screen AND a desktop for CUDA computations?

The MX150 performs as a desktop 1030, is not really meant for gaming, but just read here:

FIFA 2018, Overwatch, WoW and some e-sport tililes, and old games can be run with a gt 1030.

Thanks but I am not planning to use it for gaming. I am using it for scientific computation using GPU and CUDA.
