This site is amazing! Just what I needed in my search for a high-end laptop. And there is even information about vaporchambers and you can compare two models. Also, a very fast website has a clean design, very intuitive. Just. Wow. If I can earn you commission by buying a device over this site I will do it! However, there is some crucial information that is still missing for me in these comparisons: 1.) Cooling/Benchmarks - average CPU and gpu temps for all benchmarks over 10 minutes - more specific liquid metal (how much gallium) 2.) RAM - is the clock and type information about the out-of-the-box ram or the maximum type of RAM that I can upgrade it with? For instance, I would like to know if I can upgrade the laptop with a ram that runs on 6000mhz. - info about the out-of-the-box ram (if not provided already, else info about ram compatibility) - latency - manufacturer - clock speed (if info already provided is about max capability) 3.) Storage - info about out-of-the-box storage - manufacturer - model - clock-speed - read/write speeds 4.) Build quality - materials of chassis and back of the display (magnesium alloy aluminum or fiberglass polymer?) - how easy to open a laptop - a pop-up screw? - hard to pop off? - display flex 5.) Ports - can I charge through the display port/USB-c? If so, how many watts? - position of ports (ports on the back or just sides)?
