What about temperatures? CPU / GPU temps etc in various scenarios? Stress test? It is one the things that actually matter in gaming laptops

Well somebody did look at pictures. First 2 pictures in temperature section of the test shows them. But nowadays it is not really temperatures which matters since laptop usually throttles at 90°C so we know that temperature are around 90°C. Here the laptop is doing better or throttles sooner at 82-85°C so temperatures are better than most of the laptop but you need to check frequencies and noise too. 1695MHz for GPU at 85°C and around 3.7GHz for CPU at 82°C under the witcher3 at 50dB noise.

Somebody also did look at the pictures. And you know what? The picture of the stress test result does not display CPU clocks, which are important. If maintains 3.9ghz on all cores then its impressive... If it drops to 2.9 then its similar to laptops which have half the weight... So it is not something you leave out. But you know what is even more funny? The CPU displayed says i7-8850h :-0... So someone put pictures for the wrong laptop, perhaps?
