Step 1: Download throttle stop
Step 2: Launch and enable "power saver", this drops your multiplier more aggressively
Step 3: Go into Nvidia control panel and choose the Intel HD graphics as default processor
Step 4: Enable power saver in the W7/W8/W10 power options
Step 5: Use Edge as your browser, not Chrome
Did this in my 5 hour class. Was web browsing the entire time and had 65% battery left at the end of it.
Huge battery + downclocked Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake CPU + Disabled GPU = Just as good battery life as an ultra portable.
if stationary, just pull your battery out and go straight from the power source

Congrats, you now have a 20 lbs chromebook!
You know what Kills me about "gaming" laptops? They're like the only recently affordable laptops that can actually properly dissipate the heat load. I was in the market (still am) for a laptop with an 8 thread CPU but no dedicated gpu. Intel hd is perfectly fine on a 1080p panel. As a networking major, more than once I've needed to run 2-3 VMs simultaneously. Something a dinky 4 thread or U series chip would fall on its face at.
I don't need the quadro chipset in workstation laptops either which are the only other grade of laptops with good heat dissipation. I would only truly utilize the threads for compiling and VM use so something for CAD or cuda acceleration is completely lost in me.
Is it so hard to find a 15.6" laptop with 1080p panel, I thread CPU, 2 ram slots, and WON'T let the CPU hit 90+C when doing actual work?
I'm about to pull the trigger on exactly all this from Sager for $1k, but can't find hands on about the heat.
>Inb4 just get a weak as fuck laptop and a great desktop
I already have a T420 with an i7 and a good desktop. I actually need quite a bit of power on the go.
