The laptop peak power draw is 194W. Power adapter is 180W. Is this dangerous?

lol. 60db engineering masterpiece.

Not dangerous.

No physical touchpad buttons - that's not decent.

Centered the keyboard and didn't try to cram in a useless, extra narrow numpad.  That's good.  The display looks decent as well.  But for the price, this thing should weigh less than 2 kg.

The curved lid puts me off, I much prefer the latest Blade design.

It's too hot. 49C on the keyboard is too much.

Interestingly how RTX 2060 gives the sames FPS as RTX 2070 Max-Q (Lenovo Legion Y740). I understand that it was achieved by different programmed handling of overheating, and the difference is 10 degrees (max 57 degrees on max load against 47 at Lenovo). Most likely exploitation period of Xiaomi laptop is shorter and not so reliable due to extreme temperature conditions.

It's not just this, IIRC other models show that the RTX2070MQ is only a more efficient version of RTX2060, requiring less cooling therefore thinner lighter chassis, so for the purpose of a desktop replacement, as most gaming notebooks end up, you could save the difference and buy 2060 if you can tolerate the additional heft.
