  1. Hey all! Just received my new Chuwi GameBook. It's a Chuwi rebrand of a Tongfang laptop. Uses Tongfang's control center and the BIOS has a Chuwi skin but it's basically the base BIOS that comes with these laptops. NoteBookCheck Review - Gaming notebook with Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU - Chuwi Gamebook review - NotebookCheck.net Reviews It has a 9955HX and RTX 5070 Ti, costs around 2k€ (got mine for 1850€) which is decent considering the hardware and the crazy prices for anything more powerful. Still testing it out, I would love to have more settings to fiddle around with the CPU and RAM. Chuwi is known for super cheap simple laptops so let's just say their software support isn't great. Since launch there's been no availability for BIOS, EC or ControlCenter updates. Do you guys know if I can install XMG's BIOS and ControlCenter on it, or will I make a big mistake? XMG's APEX 16 MAX m25 is pretty much the exact same chassis and hardware, although it has a card reader that's not present on the Chuwi. They also don’t have a BIOS update available yet but surely in the future. Also, is there a code or a way to get into advanced BIOS settings? It’s an HX CPU so at least Curve Optimizer should be available for tinkering. It’s not present in it’s standard state. If anyone has any question about it I'd be happy to answer. Thanks!
  2. Thanks! Yeah ITX is in a great place right now. Huge community of people building tiny PCs, lots of case and motherboard choice, good PSUs, lots of air/watercooling stuff made specially for tiny cases. Plus the nvidia 40 series and ryzen CPUs offer so much control in terms of performance per watt you don’t have to give up much performance. There’s also a 4060 low profile card available that’s awesome for super tiny media/gaming station kind builds, even the 4090 can be tiny once you slap a waterblock on it 😄 Thanks but I think the photos are terrible! 😅🤣 Don’t have proper lighting in here… Next step I need to get me a pelican type transport case for it 😁
  3. Here's my rig, no more high performance laptops for me More photos and details on PC Part Picker - Say hello to my little friend! by Shark00n - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GeForce RTX 4090 - PCPartPicker
  4. 40 series super cards seem to have started to take shape with increased VRAM across the board (except for the unconfirmed 4090 super). Rumoured release Q2 2024. Anything on super mobile?
  5. Cool. What about during small loads? For most of my everyday computing my laptop is dead silent. Most of them are. It's a screamer under load though. But during those small-load times when the laptop would go silent, does the LPP follow the same behaviour or does it start getting annoying then?
  6. Why is that? But acetone is fine? I don't even own one, just curious. Ty
  7. Idk man, the GT77 gets 100 more Time Spy score and only costs 2500 bucks more. 🙃 🙃 🙃
  8. Quite like the idea and its potential. Let's talk in 3 or 4 generations time 🤣
  9. What are the stock RAM modules in these laptops? Thinking of getting the 16GB version and then just buying a 2x16GB DDR5 kit. The upgrade thru lenovo is pricey! Any decent 5600MHz JEDEC kits out there? Also, I've seen so many reviews have been posted lately about the Pro 7i. But every single one of them has the 4080. Anyone seen 4090 results?
  10. Same. They go for about the same where I'm located. Legion is a bit cheaper but the watercooling on this has me curious to try. Have you got the WC system @Gumwars? How's the experience been with that? Did you ever think the unit was too noisy without it?
  11. Nice write up! Don’t forget some pictures 😁 Do you have the water cooling add-on? Wondering how noisy it and the system are.
  12. This generation of mobile GPUs would be a much easier pill to swallow if the 4090 was a 4080, 4080 a 4070 and 4070 a 4060. Pricing would also need obvious adjusting. They'd never do it though. I went from moderately excited for this gen and really considering an upgrade (from my 11th gen + 3080 as it can't really keep up with 4K gaming) to a definite skip.
