November 25, 20169 yr My laptop is the Asus G752VY, forgot to mention that. GTX980M with 8GB Vram Asus G752VY-Q72SX-CB With my revamped install of P3D, I found a decent sweetspot, by limiting AI aircraft to 15%, GA aircraft to 10% or below, ground vehicles to low. Cars, boats and ferrys to 5%. With that set, and combined with ASN now (not AS2016), I still maintain my 27fps, which is what I have locked. I'm not looking for ungodly frames, just stability and limiting of stutters, which I am pretty satisfied with. Laptops might be closing the gap, but the main issue is performance VS power consumption in a laptop. Great performance equals more heat, which in turn requires a better cooling solution, a bigger battery, and ultimately shorter battery life (a hot battery is nearly as (in)effective as a cold one). My laptop has no extra cooling solution, except for a cheap $8 riser, which provides more space beneath the laptop, so just with air cooling, and the twin heatsinks w/fans, this laptop does a very decent job cooling. I don't even bother with battery life for simming, since it's a no-brainer that your battery will die pretty quick.
