Power Consumption and Temperatures
Temperatures
Performance temperates are pretty average compared to similar laptops. In idle the laptop is quite notably quiet, but once under load, the fans can get quite vocal although this should not affect your gaming experience. The Nvidia 1050 handles the temperatures surprisingly well, even at the highest recorded temperature it was much lower than I expected it to be. While this clearly isn’t a particularly high-end card, from a temperature stand-point at least, it works well at operating within more than acceptable ranges.

I wish this review was more helpful. According to the review, the keyboard is great, the processor is great, the graphics is underpowered but there is no mention of how good the screen is. I’m not really interested in the graphs and benchmarks – I’d like to know if the screen is bright enough and if the colours are vibrant enough. This actually looks like just the laptop I’m looking for but I want to know more about the quality of the screen. Maybe the reviewer was so mesmerised by the keyboard that he forgot to look at the screen!
