With the laptop sitting flat on a surface, there is too much radiant heat from the aluminum case pre-heating the intake air. I do believe this helps the temperatures. I picked up the Razer laptop stand to help elevate the underside fan intake vents for maximum cooling. Plus, others around me have to hear the fans. Wearing headphones helps cutdown on the nuisance, but sometimes I really don’t want to wear headphones either. Of course, it is understandable why the fans need to be howling at max speeds given the strain the system is under being packaged into such a small space, but it is tiring. My biggest complaint with the laptop experience is the fan noise.
I really like the Razer and it’s quality is very high. It runs the sim well on the default High-End settings (what the sim recommends for itself). I’ve got a 2018 Razer Blade 15” Advanced Model.
The major upsides are the impressive performance of the laptop 3060, the cooling performance of the G15 fans (G16 are even better), and the fact that I can easily transport it. My fix for this is to delete the UpdateServices folder and then update AWCC again. I always run MSFS at max fan speed, and AWCC likes to frequently update and not work after, thus not allowing max fan speed. The major downside for me is the instability of the Alienware Control Center software that controls the fans. I purchased this one almost two years ago for $1,200, and my wife recently bought a Dell G16 with better specs for about $1,000 on sale. If you’re considering a laptop for flight sim, I would highly recommend a Dell gaming laptop. I’ve always run on a laptop, simply because I haven’t yet gathered the money for the desktop setup I want, and I’ve been more than happy with it!ĥ12 GB SSD (Mine came with an extra SSD slot, so I added a 1 TB SSD since MSFS takes up more and more of space with every update.)
