It additionally proved superior to the Adata XPG 15KC with GeForce RTX 3070 set at 145W - the mix of the S17’s i9-11900H processor and RTX 3080 GPU making mild work of the workload within the RoTTR preset. Cinebench’s single-threaded benchmark scores present solely minimal distinction among laptops (consultant of mainstream purposes), however, the S17’s multi-threaded score ranked the S17 the second highest amongst our comparison laptops, proving its suitability for prime-finish gaming and CPU demanding tasks like 3D video enhancing. That’s enough for almost all Mac laptops to charge at full speed or while in use.
