I need a 14" laptop but I want to be able to do moderate gaming on it. I play games like Heroes of the Storm, not the newest FPS's, and I don't necessarily need Ultra settings. I'm looking at something along the line of an MSI GS40 Phantom.
My question is that most reviews say that thin & light laptops with 970m or 980m GPUs tend to get fairly loud and very hot. Does anyone know if a Pascal GPU in a similar chassis (14" lightweight laptop) is expected to improve this situation or make it worse?
I'm trying to decide if I should go with a current model or wait for Pascal. A large performance boost with no extra heat/fan noise would convince me to wait, as would no performance boost with a large decrease in heat/noise.
Thanks for any advice. I apologize if this is a dumb question.
