It's the Max Q, which honestly I was disappointed to find out when I powered it up to check. It doesn't say Max Q anywhere on the product page (at least at the time I purchased) HOWEVER.. I will say I was almost immediately relieved when I saw that I'm still having a stellar gaming performance with it, so I don't mind that it is. I'm not a "Power Hog" PC gamer, so if you're looking for pure unlimited, infinity stone, level of graphics.. then maybe you will be disappointed (I personally can't fathom that).. but for all of the titles I'm working my way through right now I throw max graphics at this card for hours at a time and have ZERO issues.

According to the Best Buy sales people at the Miami Beach store all gaming laptops overheat. They state that it is normal for all gaming laptops to overheat even when running non-gaming applications such as Word. If you go to the closest Best Buy to you and touch the bottom of the gaming laptops on display and also along the sides of the keyboard you can get a sense of how warm the laptop gets during non-gaming operations. You have to take into consideration, however, that Best Buy's stores are kept cool. When you take your laptop home and operate it at normal room temperature, the amount of overheating that you are going to experience is going to be twice the amount that you experienced at the store. At the Best Buy in Miami Beach, the only laptop that felt cold at the bottom to the touch was an ASUS Rog 15" of all the gaming laptops they had on display. I have never owned an ASUS laptop and I am not familiar with their customer support, so I did not feel comfortable buying one. I am buying a gaming laptop to run AUTOCAD. I am not a gaming person, therefore, I cannot predict how much more the laptop will overheat when running games. Turning to this particular laptop, the DELL G3, please look at the video included in the web page for this laptop at the Best Buy website. DELL designed this laptop with the F7 key programmed to allowed the user to increase the speed of the fans during gaming. So, DELL is already anticipating that the G3 laptop will overheat during gaming. I do not understand the logic of building a laptop that overheats. It seems to be that this "heat transfer" issue could be solved with more powerful fans and better vents along the edges of the laptop. It must be that eliminating the overheating from gaming laptops would increase significantly the cost of the laptop making it difficult for most people to afford them.
