Latitude 7370 (well, waiting for one, can tell you in ~4 weeks). As said my main concern is not the SSD overheating but rather the effetc it has on the system as a whole. According to Dell it has a copper heatsink but since the whole laptop is passively cooled I'd assume there is no airflow over...
Interestingly this article claims a 44mW idle power for the 950:

That would still leave me with the heat...
Indeed they say 70mW idle but if it's bugged to hell (for over a year now?) then it's as good as nonexistent and have to assume 1.6W, no? That's why I asked if this has been fixed yet.
I will most definitely not reach throttling temps, however even a 50C idle is too hot for a passive laptop, or...
Been trying to decide between nvme or sata.
From what I can scrounge from the reviews it seems I'd run into thermal issues with the pcie drives (even the idle temp seems to be quite high) and the idle power draw of ~1.6W is just attrocious. Has that been fixed since or is that the best the...
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Last time I cared about binning was in 2001 for my Northwood. :) Sadly some manufacturers really limit the options for the m3 systems (not only Dell but shame on them too anyway lol) so it's not really an option.
Can you elaborate on this please, maybe with a table...
Well, yea, until you run into thermal and/or power throttling issues. At which point, I guess, all things considered the same they should be having equal performances, no? In other words the m7 is superior as long as you don't get throttled ("snappyness") but if you keep up the load (rendering...
I would like this if there was an option to like. :)) My main fear is this, btw, Dell and their long and glorious history with thermal management.. cough cough... Looking at the new latitude with core m.
Oh I see. Well, "may be" still can't justify the difference of $350 between the m5 and m7.
Hmm, so you're saying the m7 is not worth it as it's processor lottery at best, wasted money at worst. Thanks!
However one question. In the Anand article about the m3 Asus and m7 Dell/Lenovo, it seemed like the aluminum housing of the Asus is a huge advantage. So, in other words, thermals at...
What about in identical systems with the same SDP/TDP limit? Would the m7 have any performance premium over the m5/m3 given identical enviroment?
There are barely any reviews for m7 and couldn't find a single one for m5. Skylake both.
Same question, what about cases where the tablet/laptop is...
Apologies if this has been discussed before, can't find anything relevant with the search.
Seems that all Skylake-Y are/will be thermally limited in passive notebooks. Given that, at the same SDP of (say,) 3W, is there any difference in performance between the m3, m5 and m7? In other words at...
