2024 Helios18 RTX4080 Turbo Mode TGP issue, why is the actual use 130-140W when others achieve 175W?

Helios 18 (2024) has a really nice design

It's a shame that I can only use about 80% (tgp140w) of gpu performance in actual high-end gameplay (lack of cooling structure design)

Other companies' laptops consistently use tgp perfectly up to 175w

Helios actually only use around 135-150w (even in turbo mode...)

That's why the performance is inferior to other company's product models

(msi/rog/dell/ can consistently use tgp175w, but the Helios 18 uses only 130-155w even in turbo mode. Performance degradation..)

Due to the design structure, cooling performance is insufficient

How about this 2025 Helios 18 product? The design is so cool

If the cooling performance is the same as the previous product... I'm worried about buying it

The Helios design is so cool

So, I want to buy it

I wonder if the performance line has been reached

At the acer

At least 2024 Helios18 product will be updated with bios

I hope you can use tgp175w properly
