PCSpecialist Defiance III 17.3 Laptop (w/ GTX 1060)

To measure the acoustics performance of the Defiance III I used a digital sound meter. I first took an ambient reading to act as a baseline figure, before measuring the laptop's noise levels at idle and under load.

As you can see, the Defiance III is silent when it idles – at least, I could not hear it above background noise.

With any powerful laptop, the fans do ramp up under load, causing a small spike in noise levels. It is a bit intrusive during gameplay, so a headset is advised. However, the same can be said for pretty much any other gaming laptop on the market right now, so it is hardly a reason to criticise the Defiance III.

  1. Damn. Putting desktop Pascals aside, the new generation of mobile gpus is basically a revolution, especially incredibly well balanced power consumption to performance wise 1060. Simply brilliant!

  3. 21 pages of review and barely any mention of the quality of screen they’ve used. It’s such a huge factor in choosing a laptop; how on earth did you manage to overlook it?!

    I hope someone’s given you that feedback already between writing this and now!
