I have had the 17in 2060 for a few months now, so I think I can speak objectively. I'll share my thoughts and opinion. It is an excellent laptop. Great power for the money. It just needs some tweaking. It's not hard to get great performance. It's a little annoying Lenovo has not done some of these things themselves, but here we are.
It needs an undervolt, should have come stock like the Helios. A moderate undervolt (-140mV) shaves a few degrees off. Lifting the back with some rubber feet, pads, or something similar sheds a few degrees more. They used a rubber bar on the back and front instead of feet and I think it restricts airflow. You could stop here and get good performance, but there is one other thing that bothers me.
There seems to be a bit of a bug(?) that gives temp spikes in-game. I think this is what some people are complaining about when they say it has bad thermals. I believe it's from wattage spikes when the system uses short power boost when it should not do so. See, in-game the power is supposed to be capped at about 50W. But sometimes the cap is ignored and the regular system settings are used, 90W. From testing, it appears to occur when the GPU usage falls sharply (normal), this causes the CPU to use it's full short power boost max (not normal or necessary), temps spike and short throttling occurs. I haven't seen it affect gameplay much, but I still wanted to get rid of it, and I did.
You don't need to lower clocks or anything that extreme. Just setting the turbo max long and short between 60W and 70W seems to eliminate the throttling while maintaining performance. I run mine around 65W long and 65W short. It doesn't give up much, the Cinebench score is within a hundred points. It runs cooler in benchmarks and in games. You can set it lower to further lower temps, losing a bit of CPU performance each time you go lower.
On the up side, the 2060 stays very cool and is great at overclocking. After overclocking it, my Firestrike score is over 16,000, and graphics over 18,000. That would be a good 2070maxq score!
So, yeah, I'm very happy with it's performance and I do recommend it when you find a good price.
