Long story short, I have been bothered by two things. 1), a fully watercooled gaming rig with a 4090 and 9950x3D is not portable at all and 2), neither it nor a 'gaming laptop' are silent. I tried Steamlink at first but I wasn't too impressed with it. 100mbps for a 4K120hz HDR stream was still lacking, and it had issues capturing my desktop. And steam is a memory hog. Moonlight fixed all of these things! 500mbps is very nice, esp. since both of the places I commute between have 1gbps and 10gbps symmetrical connections respectively, and WiFi7 at home makes using moonlight on my work laptop (A 2.8k OLED Lenovo Thinkpad) amazing. Latency is down, too.

I can now keep my main PC in the basement and still have an amazing gaming experience. Only issue was Win11's SDR to HDR conversion. I stream Win11 to my laptop which runs KDE Plasma on Arch, and I had to configure the Host (Win11) to use a target gamma of 2.6 and a target brightness of 1000 nits to get a non washed out experience. It only affects SDR content and I usually play in the dark, so 2.6 works great for me.

Awesome piece of software, love it!

SOLVED!

Hey, first post here. I just want to double check something before I really buy this device, since 6.300€ with the 10% discount are pretty hefty. In the configurator, you can spec it with 2230 SSDs, but the previous model Pro Max Premium took 2280s. Marketing also reflects this. Is this simply cost saving by Dell, or does the Laptop not take 2280 SSDs anymore? I have 2 spare 4TB NVMe drives I'd love to carry over since Dell's storage is far too expensive. If it matters, it's the 386h/64GB/Pro 3000 Blackwell/4k OLED variant with 512GB of storage out of factory. On a side note, how are thermals on this device? Are they comparable to last gen's model or is there a huge difference to expect? No reviews are out yet, sadly. Sorry for formatting, I'm on mobile.
