Yea I feel like Windows is making it even ten times worse… I didn’t test it with linux unfortunately! One guess would have been that Windows 11 is the issue, but I didn’t dare to install Windows 10 in fear of losing the right to return it (not much of an expert in that field haha). I just find it a bit weird, my old Asus (Win10) gets loud easily too, but there I am able to throttle it down to stay quiet if I only need it for office work. With the new notebooks none of those tweaks had any effect, sadly (except for Windows becoming a slideshow…)
Oh I see, the 2022 G15 has AMD, but all the 15"+ 2023 G models still have Intel. Generally the 2022 looks good as well, but the newer versions seem to be a bit better with the display and a few other things. I’ll still look into it and consider the older model too, thank you for the info!
