    Hello, I ordered a new 15 R3 and it should be here within 3-4 days. Are the heating issues still there? I talked to a dell tech support and she said they've fixed the issues.
    Anyone recently bought one here? or heard about them? please post

    It SHOULD be fine but if you have issues, contact team LHz through @iunlock or @Mobius

    The core differentials seem to be a lot better (lesser) than the skylake variants.
