Did they really just claim 30-series tier performance on the max GPU? If that's true that would be insane!

Equivalent to "the notebook with the fastest GPU we could find at half the power" is how I remember it...

I'm just not entirely certain what GPU performance does for me...? I don't work with video, there aren't any games, and I'm not playing them, anyway. Does iTerm2 scrolling get better?

I used to be quite happy with the GeForce 7xx(?) and tensorflow, and this seems like it would have quite a bit of power for ML. Unfortunately, the software just isn't there (yet?).

TDP, TDP, TDP!

With big enough heatsink, the performance can be proportionally high (perf = sqrt(TDP))
