The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.
Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together. Room ambient temperatures were 23c.
We measured results with CPUID Hardware Monitor software. The CPU was loaded with Cinebench in a loop and Furmark stress test.
The processor can get quite hot under load, peaking at 85c. Its still within what we would consider ‘acceptable' levels, but borderline.
We attached 5 diodes to the machine and measured the temperatures after loading it for 90 minutes.
The rear, right side of the laptop (from above) can get toasty after extended load, peaking at 47c. This can be rather uncomfortable if the machine is placed directly on your lap. The other areas of the underside are actually quite cool. Some hot air is also expelled out the right side of the chassis.
I love their keyboards too, my boss has one in work (not sure of the model number, but the keyboard is fantastic).
id rather have a less powerful laptop with a great screen and keyboard rather than the latest processor.
I hate the idea of the battery being inside the chassis. never liked that idea.
I like the look of their new carbon X1. I bought the original X1 on your review last time and I think its almost perfect. If they improve the screen on the carbon version im flogging mine off and upgrading to the new one.
WOW, that thing is thicker than the power brick LOL
