I think I'm about ready to make the investment. Biggest question is 15 or 17 inch. I would prefer the enhanced portability of the 15, but at the same time I'd appreciate the extra screen size of the 17. Those two concerns are probably give the 15 a slight edge. But here's the kicker. My current 15 inch gaming laptop gets super hot, like 100 degrees Celsius. I'm fairly certain its performance is adversely affected. Can anyone tell me how much cooler the 17 would run than the 15. Also any other thoughts on one vs the other? And finally are the 2020 models likely to be released in the next couple months? Thanks all!

I just bought the 17 and I love it. Yes its a little bit bigger than the 15 but not much, its not like the alienware 15 vs 17. The Razer 17 is about the same size as the Alienware 15. Also I bought mine from Amazon with the 2070, it was only $1998, the 15 inch variant was $2300. Same specs except for the 240hz screen vs the 120hz. I didnt care about the extra refresh rate and wanted the larger screen.

As for the temps, its factory undervolted with a 100 mv offset. I usually get about 70c on the CPU and about 65c on the GPU for balance mode. I do not over clock so I count test that. The laptop is quiet and the fans never ramp up and down, they stay at a steady RPM.
