alright, after much testing at their office this kind of temperature is pretty normal especially for i7 8750h and gtx 1070 combo.
will do more testing when i reach denmark. should be better due to lower ambient temperature - around 9 degrees or lower
bought this cooling pad to help:

So your thermal issue is come from cpu or gpu? Gpu more than 80 deg c will be at higher side and might get throttle at 82deg c.

You mean 99 deg c which you mentioned previously?

If you disable some threads or cores? Does the cpu temperature decrease too?

Look like your cpu face no thermal throttling at 92deg C.
Can you use HWinfo64 to check whether cpu face thermal throttling?

Use MSI Afterburner+Rivatuner and HWinfo combo. Can monitor in game

first fortnite gameplay in denmark.

pretty good so far. no throttling at all and maintains good framerate throughout. had to adjust settings as i made a new epic account.

Hi new to this company and was planning to get one for myself Laguna. I have a question for those who have been using the laptop for a couple of year. I'm planning to use it for at least 5 year

Laguna is a Quanta NL5C. Got 1 review in Notebookcheck (older 7700HQ model)
Some things to take note:
Cooling can handle 1060/2060 but not 1070/2070 due to insufficient heatpipes. No Optimus but no GSYNC either. A bit heavy for a 15 inch no thin bezel gaming laptop

thats false, the laguna has more heatpipe depending on if you take 1060 or 1070. 1070 version comes with 1 extra heatpipe.

I do know that the 1070 model has 1 extra heatpipe, but it's for CPU and GPU VRM, not for GPU core

Audio Not an audiophile, but overall it is good enough to me. I wish the speaker is louder as it is firing upwards. Bass is good, maybe it is the subwoofer. Weak at mid and very high-pitched at high, some software tweak can easily solve these.
What software did you used to tweak it ?

Issit just me or the illegear laguna looks exactly like the thunderobot dino??thus is the thermal performance the same??
Same Quanta chassis. Should be the same - 1+2 (CPU+GPU) heatpipes for 1060/2060, 2+2 for 1070/2070
