I'm running Linux on the 15" model, you'll want Kernel 5.8+ so an Arch based distro is your best bet atm. I am having small issues with it constantly though but eventually i'll be able to iron it out.

Can we boost this thread??? This is the most bloody annoying thing about PCS at the moment. All these other resellers sell an awesome config I'd buy right now but I have sit refreshing the page to see if they'll add 3200Mhz memory, a better screen with 72% NTSC and 144hz and a bigger battery...

I would say anything below 90 is totally fine. With you having an Intel CPU you could google how to use something called ThrottleStop and undervolt your CPU a bit to get some lower temps but the same (if not improved) performance.

This bugs me too. I wish they had a better screen option.

Which performance mode/fan mode are you using to get those temps?

Does anyone know if the cooling system in the Optimus Pro 4800H version is the same as the Eluktronics RP-15? If so, I'm happy with the thermal performance of the ELuktronics and would love to get the Optimus Pro especially for £1038 with a 2060 :O

Anyone else with experience on this? I'm thinking of replacing my G5 15 SE with the Optimus Pro (Ryzen 4800). I'm really disappointed in the thermals with the G5.

I would also get rid of the bag for £18. You can get very good ones from Amazon for cheaper. Also consider, will she be using a backpack? In that case a sleeve for the laptop would be a better considering combined with a backpack that has a laptop pocket in it. The mouse you included is fine but...

Are you capable of installing Windows yourself? Universities often provide Microsoft licences for students (mine did). You could save £60-80 ish on the licence. Do check with the university for a big saving if you are willing to install Windows yourself. UPDATE: And for that matter, if you can...

Hi there. First time posting! I have made an amazing configuration for the price! Was thinking about getting a Ryzen 4000 laptop but those don't seem to be offered by PC Specialist and the ones available are not as good value for money as this config I put together. My only problem is the...
