NVIDIA's Max-Q technology lets laptop manufacturers put more powerful GPUs into slimmer chassis, at the cost of some performance. Is this trade-off worth it?

The cost is not just slower performance, but also cost. For the same GPU clocked lower to keep power consumption in check, I don't see the point of paying a premium on it.

Based on the review, highly un-recommended. Just get the full flavour version of the 1070, 1080 GTX instead.

Unless its for showoff purpose..."mine is 1080GTX leh..." omitting out the watch Max-Q. :s22:
