So I was a prior owner of a giant 17 inch ASUS ROG w/ 970m - needless to say this thing wasn't very portable, but it worked like a charm and I never had any issues with heat etc.
I recently just purchased a GS65 msi i7-8750 w/ 1070 maxq, and let's just say that while I appreciate what they are trying to do with this machine, I have come to the conclusion that no gamer should ever buy a thin laptop. I do pretty extended gaming sessions, and this thing turns into molten lava after a very short time. I understand that there are more heating issues with the new processors and graphics cards, especially being that my prior rig was 2 generations old at this point.
My question is, can someone recommend a high end gaming laptop that is well known for having good thermals? I will be buying a 2080 rtx laptop when they drop at the end of January, so I understand that no one can predict the future. However, can someone tell me if one of the particular brands or builds is well known for running cool - or at minimum not sounding like you're sitting next to a jumbo jet while gaming (i'm looking at you gs65 cool booster). I would not like to purchase another thing laptop, I believe after several weeks of experimentation that this was a failed experiment, at least for me personally.
Thanks for the help everyone!
