Other
CoolingFans are loud in Turbo (about 57 dB(A) in Cyberpunk 2077 per Notebookcheck; 45 dB(A) in Balanced). CPU slows down after a few heavy runs and the GPU often does not use its full power, so it lands a bit below other laptops with the same GPU (Notebookcheck). The SSD slows down under long transfers.
