only can tell after I reviewed it

looks like it has the same cooling with Nitro, so avoid

refer to this topic for explaination
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4815281

Hope you can receive it in time

Off topic a bit: Would you like to go through some thermal testing and tuning (eg undervolting) after receiving the laptop? Just make sure that everything's in good condition, QC issue can happen sometimes due to mass production

There are many ways, I will guide you

No need to open bottom cover

What time you're going there? I'll go there to pick up review unit also

ok I might go there around that time

Mind low sRGB 60Hz display?

A few cents first:
-AC Adapter can be quite large for more powerful laptops (the one in Vapor is big)
-Suggest trying out the keyboard on your own first
-Thinner means less cooling room, for best thermals you need to avoid thin and lights (will discuss later)
-Define 'great'? Need onsite warranty?

Continue below.
-jumping from 144 to 240 won't be a noticeable difference
-yes you can feel the frames running smoother even if it's not at 144/240FPS
-2070 is better than 1660Ti of course, but that also means more heat which can be a challenge to cool
-build quality depends on model, can't comment much on their aftersales
-Onyx Pro is GK5-Y, therefore different chassis

Back to topic, may I know your preferred max weight in kg and min battery life in hours?

BTW, my Vapor 15 Pro review is coming out soon. And I will be testing Onyx Pro+Selenite Pro on Wednesday.
Can PM me?

decent for a 15 inch, but Huawei laptops don't have great QC in general. Also aftersales support (software, warranty) is unknown

Any preferences on weight and battery life? Mind low sRGB 60Hz display?

then either go for non gaming laptop or increase budget, since battery life requirement is very high

Triton 300 has bad cooling and ok size battery

If you don't have battery life requirement:
1660Ti:
Lenovo Legion Y7000 SE customize / Y540 15 customize: use code LENXCIMB
Commandos Glock 5 Plus: default 60Hz low sRGB

1650:
Lenovo Legion Y7000 SE customize / Y540 15 customize: use code LENXCIMB
Illegear Raven SE, Raven: default 60Hz low sRGB
Level51 Forge 15: 120Hz low sRGB
Lenovo Legion Y7000 SE 81T0001HMJ: 60Hz low sRGB

17 inch:
Lenovo Legion Y540 17 customize: use code LENXCIMB
Commandos Carbine Evo 6

(you can refer to this list actually)

Thermals are good in this model, however there might be poor heatsink due to QC. Read this: https://genexisx.blogspot.com/2019/09/my-th...-in-legion.html

I can guide you to do some thermal testing if you want, just to make sure that thermals are normal

I have collected some thermal data, if you're interested to know PM me

Jarrod got a bad Y540 unit apparently, the new Y7000SE he tested seems fine

Like I mentioned, I can guide you on thermal testing, if you want. Many Y540/Y7000SE buyers in this forum had done the same thing and so far only 2 ppl got lemon units (both changed heatsink which is covered under warranty), at least all the forumers I've contacted

First of all, do you need these:
Long battery life
TB3
Glass touchpad
Super light weight
Numpad
Better software/driver support

For audio, Onyx Pro is better out of the box but Vapor has SoundBlaster software for further tuning

For thermals, Onyx Pro is slightly better but Vapor isn't that bad also

For keyboard, suggest you to try out both laptops

Also it depends on your budget

It's should be the same, haven't test yet

HF CPU is the same with H, only thing is no iGPU which hurts battery life

other cards also can use according to some forumers

Level51 BTW, Forge 15 Elite only has 120Hz low sRGB tho

The fact is it doesn't perform better, those websites don't provide accurate info

Personally I would rather take Forge rather than Terra due to those little issues that affect thermals and performance (refer to my review on Illegear Laguna SE, which is basically the same model)

HF CPU doesn't have iGPU

With 2060 GPU:
Level51 Forge 15 Pro: 3 hrs battery life
Lenovo Legion Y540 15 customize (i7,2060,144Hz): use code LENXCIMB

Wouldn't really recommend MSI and Asus due to quality concerns and price (MSI only), worsen by the questionable aftersales
