heat management for laptops with nvidia 1060+ cards

[timeatsapples]

After buying the acer predator helios 300 and finding a faulty graphics chip, I returned it and started looking for another laptop (from another brand). However all of them seem to have the same issue in common:
- heat management

All the "top" brands with premium price-tags all appear to suffer from the same problem of CPU around 90-100 degrees celsius and GPU (gtx 1060) between 80-90 degrees celsius under full load.

Is it a bad idea to buy a laptop this year until manufacturer's redesign the thermals of their laptops to account for the increased heat? I would imagine such temperatures are bad for laptop longevity.

Unfortunately, if you want the performance of the GTX 1060, then you need to accept that it will run hot. Keep in mind that GTX 10 series GPUs used in laptops are basically the same as the ones used in desktop. However, the clock speed has been slightly reduced to lower heat and power consumption; about a 10% difference in performance. This is the really the first time ever that desktops and laptops both use the same GPU chip.

The GTX 9 series and previous generations had two different chip designs; one specifically for desktops and a second one designed specifically for laptops. The mobile variants has always compromised a lot of performance to reduce heat and power consumption compared to their desktop counterparts.
