This would be perfect, without PWM. Can you guys write an article why PWM is still so present in even the most expensive ultrabooks and laptops?

No reason to be getting this now, since the new Surface Book was released. 13" w/ a 1050 (and a 2-in-1) vs 13" w/ no GPU whatsoever. Seems like a nobrainer to me.

You're forgetting that the Surface Book lacks TB3 so that you can plug in peripherals/an eGPU. Different people different use cases.

Good suggestion Big T, we'll look into doing an article on the prevalence of PWM

This laptop could barely handle 15W TDP 6500U with two fans inside. The case was very hot during operation.
