Thinking of getting the Dell Alienware Area-51m laptop. If you have one, can you let me know answers to following. Assume I'm talking about the high end (i9-9900K, RTX 2080)
1) What's the difference between plugging 1 vs 2 power bricks in? Online seems to indicate "reduced" performance with only one power adapter, but can anyone clarify what that means exactly? CPU, GPU or both?
2) How hot does it run? Keyboard cool to touch most of the time?
3) How loud is it when not gaming? Do you usually hear the fans outside of gaming?
4) Size/Weight... seems like a beast (almost 10lbs) on paper, do you find it actually that large/massive to carry around?
Thanks in advance!
