Upcoming owner of the onyx, but for the i7 + 1050TI version instead, waiting for my unit to be ready for collection
 Didn't spring for the 1060 because the laptop is more for photo/video editing rather than gaming, so battery life can be kept in check during editing (as applications like premiere and lightroom uses the GPU). Can't wait for the extended battery to prolong my on-the-go editing sessions, and I'm also planning to shoot a video review of the laptop too. Eiraku How's the battery life currently? Especially after undervolting, quite interested to know.  |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ May 4 2018, 01:38 PM) About 4 hours max, with stuff tuned to minimum (powersaver plan, display at 25% and RGB keyboard turned off). UV is really more to keep temps in check and increase turbo utilisation, so don't expect it to help much. I see, so it's still relatively the same, but is 25% brightness usable in most well-lit indoor situations? (As in the screen at 25% is close to ambient or dramatically darker?)Also, this is running on IGPU. Expect more like 1h30m-2h with the DGPU active all the time, 1050 or otherwise. That said, I do have a heavily tuned down Energy Saver profile set in ThrottleStop, but I haven't tested and tuned it thoroughly yet so I can't say if it helps prolong battery life, at least for surfing and light work. I'm curious, when you're on battery life why not just accelerate Premier/LR with the iGPU? Sure, its an Intel but the UHD 630 is actually not entirely crap for those kinds of stuff - at least for mobile use. Myself I'm more a Vegas / Luminar user so the iGPU accelerates plenty for my needs.  On the subject of editing, while I've never configured any of my systems to run on IGPU, but for speed editing (think wedding same-day-edit videos) where there is background rendering of transitions/effects etc. the GPU speed helps a lot in making sure we can deliver the video on time. Also I notice that timeline scrubbing (scrolling across clips) is smoother with GPU acceleration turned on. That being said tho, I should probably experiment with the IGPU also to see if there is a better performance vs battery consumption balance to be had.  |
