Preferred brand : Any will do
Budget : Strictly below rm6k
Usage : Computing/programming for uni purposes and also gaming
Screen Size : 15.6" FHD
GPU : 1050ti or 1060
CPU : i7-7700hq/i7-8750H

Other requirements are solid build and not hideous. If possible, I want to have a laptop with i7-8750H+gtx1060 configuration. I'm also not in a rush and willing to wait till august so if any sifus know whether any new laptops that are going to be released soon, can also recommend it to me. Thanks in advanced.  laugh.gif

The higher refresh rate panels are TN panels. I was gonna stick with the IPS panel for more colour accuracy because I plan to do photo and video editing as well

How about illegear?

Btw for me, Alienware always overpriced..

Dear myway1985,

Raven isn't built on any clevo model, neither this model is related to clevo in any way.

In regards to your statement about Raven's fan, you might need to provide more materials to prove/support your claim. The Raven maximum temperature of GPU is 75C for the GTX1050Ti and 83C for the i7-8750H with Turbo Boost enabled. The temperature are completely fine as per our testing.
*
If repaste with Thermal Grizzly, CPU maximum temperature is what?

Hi Snoopycute98,

Thermal grizzly doesn't affect the idle temperature but only peak temperature of CPU/GPU. According to our testing result, the temperature can be lowered by about 5C at peak.
At the moment we are unable offer the kryonaut option to raven because of the big volume compared to other models, and we feel the default thermal paste is good enough and sufficient for a GTX1050/1050Ti.
Users can still request the thermal grizzly paste with us specially.

Yea, idle temps wont be lower is understandable, as its normal and I used kryonaut on my desktop.
