Hey there,
I got my Blade 15 yesterday - 8 core i7 and rtx2070 super version, I love the looks and feel of the machine but hate 2 things about it.
As I bought it mainly for work related tasks *3D CAD, renders etc and am constantly on-the-go I need to be able to charge up the laptop via USB C (I use Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro, which can supply up to 85W via USB-C).
I know I can't ask the same performance as with the mains charger and I am OK with it, but what I have noticed it that even when idling or doing very very light tasks like Chrome browsing the laptops discharge rate seems to be higher than the charge rate - it loses battery % even when plugged in my Belkin dock.
Using HWInfo I can see that it never pulls more than 34W from it and averages at 12W...which is weird.
To add insult to injury, then fans are ramping up whenever its connected to the dock and charging/using external monitor.
Seems to spin less/heat up less from the wall power? Some inefficiencies in the Thunderbolt circuits?
Also I can't seem to choose any other performance mode except the balance one, be it on wall power, usb c or battery power. + the fan control seems to do nothing at all on my machine.
While typing this and powered via USB C the battery dropped another 5%...this is not normal, as in no way a normal thing...the 10875H is a 45W max TDP CPU, and RTX2070 is idling...why does the laptop favor battery over USB C?
Will there be a bios fix for that? + for love of god, why can't I control my own fan speeds?
It might seem like minor issues, but for the cost of this machine, it better deliver. And as of right now, it has not delivered.
