    Nvidia just announced Max Q gpus for laptops.

    A step forward for the thinness of gaming laptops, but we'll see on pricing and performance. They'll probably be underperforming versions of whatever card they are. I'm interested to see a 1080MQ vs a 1070N.

    And by interested I mean I'll be pretty upset if the 1070 wins by a large margin and the 1080 is like 3 grand.

    I think you've answered your question already. Because based on history, when it comes to performance especially in gaming laptops, you need proper cooling for the system to make an outstanding performance due to tweaks of CPU and GPU.

    Just remember that "thin" is paperweight and the only advantage of this one is longevity of the battery usage, period.

    Upset <IF> the 1070 wins by a large margin? People should rather be damn angry if this new crippled *Razerbook* graphics can't beat a medium powered 1070 graphics by a large margin. Pay more but get less. Yeah, people should feel very screwed if they jump on this gimick aka fraud!!
    We have already posted in New Clevos with Max-Q?

    Haha, when are Clevos new models all coming?

    They're definitely doing Max Q their name came up like 7 times if you include their resellers and oems.

    Yes, it's sad that people can be fooled so easily, by Nvidia's scam. I don't expect new proper socket models yet. The Max Q Scam will come first.

    They finally got some spare binned chips that can be put into something else but a Quadro (because the market only needs that much Quadros) and this is the end result. Congrats to everyone that bought into the "Desktop performance in a notebook" craze and contributed to this. Also the very reason why "standard MXM module" is a mythical creature.

    Are there any actual hardware differences to these cards or is it just some simple under-clocking ?
