QUOTE(dickybird @ Aug 1 2018, 12:15 PM) How about the HP Pavilion 14 and 15s in the 2700 to 3000 price range? Spec seems ok. Don't just compare specs. It has questionable build quality and poor battery life.

QUOTE(volrath @ Aug 1 2018, 12:36 PM) Would undervolting and/or repasting fix this issue? Because if after all these also still couldn't handle i7-8750H, then wow, how would all other XPS users use their laptop?? @_@ Yup need undervolt+repaste (preferably LM). Also need to add thermal pads. XPS 15 has many issues (besides cooling) which is unacceptable for this kind of price

QUOTE(Slowstarter @ Aug 2 2018, 01:26 PM) ThinkPad L480 with Intel i5-8250U If you don't need those business features then you can get Ultrabook at much lower price. Also, RAM and SSD upgrades are usually cheaper if you do manual upgrade
