There are issues with this 'laptop' (don't put it on your lap is one), but AMD is a viable option I think..

Well AMD mobile CPUs are 4 core, so I would assume you bought one of the hackjob DTR's with a desktop CPU or just are using a desktop in a jest :P

It's a "hackjob" by Asus Republic of Gamers.

Not a home-built thing, but not what you'd call a laptop (portable, battery life) either..

ouch, that is definitiv not a good issue... but well my mbp late 2013" gets hot as well.

Hm? The screenshot was merely showing the good parts (8 cores, 16 virtual).

It's not getting particularly hot in general, entirely depends on the use case. When I max out the cores or run a game? Quite hot. Otherwise: Mostly fine..

It's just unwieldy, big and heavy, hence not really useful on a lap..

Have you tried cleaning the dust accumulated inside?

I always do.
