HOTWELL II: NOW WITH MORE HEAT...

Hard pass for me...

 

The "10th" gen launch is such a meme at this point.

 

Then its time to throw your big 2.5 inch ssd/hdd in another notebook, desktop or just use it as portable backup drive. Or just sell it so you can offset the costs for an new big M.2 SATA drive to replace what you had.

ICCMAX is 245 amps.
Not even the best air cooler on the market can cool that.

 

In case you guys didnt notice, this is going for pre order if im not mistaken, LINK, LINK2. Here is the specs listed on XMG site, LINK.

Edit: @Papusan I just seen you have this linked in your signature, I will leave it for others though.

 

I love how they tout "limitless" storage capability when they just halved the storage from 28 TB max to 14 TB max compared to the P870 chassis:

P870: 28TB (3 x 4TB NVME + 2 x 8TB 2.5")
P775: 24TB (2 x 4TB NVME + 2 x 8TB 2.5")
X170: 14TB (3 x 4TB NVME + 1 x 2TB M2)

Never mind that one could get 18 TB of storage for under 2000$ with two NVME 1TB SSD's thrown in for good measure. Now the X170 maxes out at 14TB and the price for that storage has gone up at the same time. Truly limitless

 

Huh, I didn't realize they were losing the 2.5" slots. That sucks a bit in a 17" device DTR.

 

Good IMO, times move on, m.2 drives will continue to develop and that space can be used for cooling/battery.

 

Yeah, they have to sacrifice some features when they move to thinner, smaller, lighter and the modern narrow bezels (chasssis size as last years 15,6 inch model). Exactly as Apple do for their products. Or better say the Alienware's way... They jumped on 2 ram slots and stayed there a long time and then was saved by Samsung's move to double capacity ram sticks. See, the move mostly gained those who jumped on the refreshed models who come after. One thing for sure, the cooling wouldn't be any worse if they could let the chassis have same volume size as P870 etc. Oh'well, the Apple way do things is inevitable. Next move will perhaps be remove one of the 4th M.2 slot. Aka you'll get 3 slots back because the storage capasity increase for each ssd.
