So here's some questions, does the Spectre run it's fans on idle/browsing/watching yt? How are the thermals, does it run superhot and thermal throttle CPU/GPU when gaming and does it get loud? I'm not very picky on which quality setting I run my games as long as I can run around 60fps 1080p without major framedrops. As you know there's always "buts", I'm unsure if I like the 13 inch screen and might want to move up a notch in size considering what I'm going to use it for (Engineering physics, financial analysis, programming/development of software and some casual gaming). As of now I'm writing this on a Razer Blade Stealth GTX model which I recently accquired and I'm mighty impressed with it in terms of build quality and overall feel. I tend to want my laptops to last me a long while. Here's the thing, I'm kind of "damaged" from the mac user experience and it's phenomenal build quality. I'm coming from a Macbook pro 13 since 7 years back and were very happy with the overall machine but still missed some pc perks and computational power. Great comparison of the two! I've been checking around alot for a new laptop to be my all in one setup companion and I've also managed to try three fairly different ones thus far but aren't satisfied to 100%. The Envy is a great machine though if you can overlook the bezels. If you ever plan to use an eGPU, never pair an NVIDIA dGPU with an NVIDIA eGPU it is a world of frustration. I supplemented the GTX 1650 Ti with a Radeon RX 5700 XT using a Razer Core X. Overall, the smaller bezels and greater versatility of the Spectre won me over. There is a huge gap in performance between the GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q and RTX 2060 Max-Q, but the GTX will still net you playable framerates at medium graphics in 1080p. The Envy has an RTX 2060 Max-Q, not the full performance version. Just to note, I bought the Spectre with the GTX 1650 Max-Q configuration, but the system actually has a GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q. This is not really an issue on the Envy though as has excellent thermals. I think it is a plus as I can put the Spectre in clamshell mode when connecting it an external monitor knowing that it won't overheat. It does not exhaust heat out the back or onto the display as many laptops do.
