This isn't a case of thermal limiting - this is a case of the power supply being literally unable to supply enough power to run the system at its full capacity.

This isn't a case of thermal limiting - this is a case of the power supply being literally unable to supply enough power to run the system at its full capacity. If I can't use that 1060 at full power for more than 5% of the battery capacity, even while plugged into the wall, isn't that misleading?
- barrkel 9y agoThe limiting factor might be different but the effect is the same. A rose by any other name would leave you just as disappointed. (I'm not certain that the limiting factor is actually different, FWIW. Dissipating 100W from a laptop isn't easy. Macbook Pros limit at 80W AFAIK. If the power supply could keep up, I'd expect it to get too hot anyway.)
- brudgers 9y agoDissipating lots of heat from a laptop isn't that hard, it's just that the tradeoffs take the form of gaming laptops because the laws of thermodynamics are not shaped by consumer preferences.
