RTX 5090 gaming laptops listed overseas starting at $3,780
Specific models of Digital Machine's RTX 5090 and 5080 laptops come with an external liquid cooler.
I wonder what the pricing will be like for laptops with mid range 5000 series Nvidia dGPUs. The cheapest mobile RTX 5070 Ti laptop SKU from this OEM is €2,000.
High-end iGPUs are looking more and more appealing (you also get better battery life and a less bulky build).
DGPUs are also awful with modern standby. My RTX 4090 laptop gets almost the same battery life on as it does in “sleep” because the GPU won’t fully shut off. It’s so bad it just goes into hibernation after about 20 minutes.
It’s much better than my last laptop which would just overheat and crash when I tried putting it in sleep then in my backpack.
Yeah, last laptop I bought I specifically wanted an iGPU, for the exact reasons you mention. Also makes the computer a good deal cheaper.

Honestly, a lot of the PC games I play a lot of aren't all that 3D-intensive.
Depends on the person, of course.
I am a little surprised that there aren't more games explicitly aimed at battery-powered environments. Like, have options to not do animations or redraw unless required, stuff like that.
