How to Pick a Gaming Laptop - Avoid These Mistakes!

Nice review but i think your considerations about OS could be useless, it depends by the user if i know how to use Linux you will be able to install and use anything you want if not you can choose windows...Maybe you don't follow opensource community, Linux is constantly upgraded too and become every day more easy to use for everybody, you missed also to say that you don't need so much ram and disk space to have linux installed on a laptop! Furthermore your laptop will last longer! I have an Asus Rog 8th Gen since six years now because i dont use windows anymore, so please, thanks for your review about laptops but don't talk about things you don't know...

This is so thorough. You earned a like comment and subscribe from me

i wish I saw this before I got my laptop

What about rtx 40.
Which is the best, and does not burn the laptop.

ASUS TUF F15 FX507ZC4-HN072 is good?

Is the asus tuf gaming laptop f15 a good gaming laptop for 700$?

My MSI prestige hinge broke and everything started breaking.

As someone who has owned around 12 gaming laptops, the #1 criteria is repair process. You can dance around on specs, airflow, screen brightness all that jazz but these things are out of date fast and most will have a support issue within two to three years. The rest amounts to matter of taste ultimately. The only other hard criteria is get 32 Megs of RAM and the best GPU you can afford.

Lenovo legion slim 5 or lenovo LOQ 15
Both with amd ryzen 7 7840 HS
Which one to go for?

The reason I'm inclined to gaming laptop for work is due to additional cooling because I work at home and dont want to turn on AC all the time. But rhe dilemma is too many spec and too little I can do in term of customization after the laptop is bought. This video does great help answering my questions.

Great video!

Thanks! The best review of the technologies I've ever seen!

VIdeo phân tích rất chi tiết! Cảm ơn ad!

I got a gaming desktop , but my ryzen 5 5500u non-gaming laptop can handle all the triple A games ...

Anyone out there uses APU for gaming ?

Is the RTX 4050 good ?

The 3050 would've been absolutely fine with 1080p even in current titles if they hadn't forced 4gb of vram down everyones' throats. Yeah, heavy stuff would've required you actually tune GFX settings. Nobody does that-everyone just wants to crank all the sliders as high as they go if it dips below 60fps doing it then it's a 'trash gpu.' good review, anyway.

my dell g15 w/ rtx 3050 6gb should run at 95W, but it is common to all of a sudden limit to only 30W.. I've no idea how to prevent that. All C-States are off, everything at full performance mode and still this happens. :(

Ok

you forgot the 2 most important things. NOICE and HEAT, the rest is specs that are similar among the pc with the same specs. The way the laptop gets rid of heat is what i focus 90% when I buy the gaming laptop. If the laptop is cool in the wrong rund, the system components stays more efficient and so on.

The sad part is that the makers of laptop focus on them getting thinner and thinner, thus making them more noisy and warm. Why not make them a little bit larger and cool better, making them quieter......

Hey did you update this video we now have rtx40 and CPU 13th gen and I'm lost 😅 please help

Hi J@JarrodsTech how about built quality, finest matherials, better cooling/noise and overall construction? I care more about a laptop will last longer than the final performance of the 3050 or 3060. Thanks

Please guys tell me your thoughts about Lenovo ideapad 3 with rtx3069 16gb ram 512ssd I'm about to buy it so... I don't wanna make any mistakes

I love the in depth dive into specs and features

Grey to grey response times
Core/thread counts
CPU clocks
RAM freq and speeds

I've been building PCs since 9yrs old so to me this is my language

I don't have much budget so I'm leaning towards Lenovo Legion 5 with Ryzen 5 5600H (6C 12T), RTX 3050 ...I have heard that this has minimilistic design with perfect build quality and cooling system. What do you guys think? Is it worth buying?

I'm looking for a touch screen gaming（high performance）pc.
how can Ｉ get those?

What is better, which one would you guys pick?

Configuration 1:
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX3060 Max-P 6 GB GDDR6 Graphics Card
10th Generation Intel i7-10870H 8 Cores 16 Threads upto 5.0 GHz 45W
15.6 Inch QHD 1440P 165Hz 165Hz IPS 100% sRGB Matte LED Display
16GB DDR4 2933MHz Samsung Dual Rank Memory
512GB Samsung PM981a M.2 SSD

Or

Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6 256-Bit Refresh (2020 Edition)
10th Generation Intel i7-10875H 8 Cores 16 Threads upto 5.1GHz 45W
17.3 Inch FHD 1080P 144Hz IPS Matte LED Display
16GB SAMSUNG DDR4 2933MHz
512GB Samsung PM981a M.2 SSD

Sorry man. This video was very in depth
However it was overwhelming.
I am not a pc nerd. (No offence). I just about know what rtx is used with and what a cpu is.

Given that this is a breakdown to get more refined info down to our level i hoped you might break down what type of games are the most demanding, less so and least.
Then say which of the components would do well, okay, and poorly.
Then put values on the middle part. I mean 8k is the best you can have. But 4k and 8 are nearly identical and games aren't made for 4k to begin with. So max xpec would be 8k. 95% then 4k.
But 1080p is not 50% even if it technically is about half the resolution.
So that is where i hoped this would go.
Not into all those abbreviations and specs and temperatures and powerdraws and what not.
If i knew what that meant then i wouldn't need this video.

Thanks for making it anyway, but i look forwards to a "for idiots" version

I bought asus tuf gaming f15 with rtx 2050, 32GB Ram and 1TB storage. I think it's a good laptop for medium high gaming😊

Can someone please help! I will be happy to donate to anyone that can assist. Will either of these laptops work well for this games sys req's?

I am looking to buy a mid level priced/performing laptop under 1K (preferably with 17" screen but not required) to run a game: Magic the Gathering "Arena", and "Magic Online"(MTGO) with decent performance.

The game maker recommends this stats-
Minimum Requirements:
• Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ or Equivalent
• Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 8800 or Equivalent
• RAM: 2 GB
• Operating System: Windows 7
Recommend Requirements:
• Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
• Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 560
• RAM: 4 GB
• Operating System: Windows 10

I seem to like these options so far-
*Lenovo 2022 IdeaPad 3 17.3" FHD Travel Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 5625U, 40GB RAM, 2TB PCle SSD, ‎AMD Radeon Vega 7, 720p Webcam, Fingerprint Reader, ‎Arctic Grey, Win 11 Pro, 32GB SnowBell USB Card $850

*ASUS TUF F17 Gaming Laptop, 17.3" 144Hz FHD IPS-Type Display, Intel Core i5-11400H Processor, GeForce RTX 3050, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Home, FX706HCB-ES51,Graphite Black $899

*ASUS 2022 TUF A17 17.3" 144Hz FHD Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 4600H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Win 11 Pro, Bonfire Black, 32GB Snowbell USB Card, (32GB | 2TB PCIe SSD)

So a acer nitro 5 3070ti 150w is a better choice than a zephryus g14 3070ti that has 120 w with boost mode? Is it correct to say!

You are the only person whom I trust with for detailed explanation

I was thinking about an upgrade I feel like the ideapad gaming 3 it's a sweet sport a 3050 with an 11th intel i5 with 16 GBs of ram it's pretty stacked compared with what I have good video🫶

Your statistics chart are worst

From what I've gathered
Overall size
Tgp
Cooling
Cpu and gpus Temps
Are what matters the most

But all of these have to be balanced
E.g.
You shouldn't stuff a i7 or i9 and 3080 ti or 4080 ti into a 14" or 16" size and allow it to draw 200 to 280w total

This might give high 85 C to 95+ C cpu/gpu Temps,

Better of with a 17" or 18" size with this same gpu and cpu.

I was looking at an asus g17 2022 model and a g16 2023 model
The 2023 g16 model I found a review on reported high turbo mode gaming cpu and gpu Temps of 94C
It has an
Rtx 4080 ti
16" 165hz 1900x1200 display
Intel i7 cpu
16GB RAM
1TB ROM

I compared this g16 to a g17 from 2022
2022 g17 has a
Ryzen 9 6900hx
Rtx 3070ti
16GB RAM
1TB ROM
17" 360hz 1920X1080 display

This I found reviews that reported ~80C cpu/gpu Temps when gaming

Fair this is only ~15C cooler but I assume going passed 95C is going to cause a good lot of problems in the long term and I assume that high temperature on the 2023 g16 can cause more wear on the components.

The reason why I looked into this g16 is because my local laptop seller had a ~500usd discount on this laptop its current price with discount is ~2500usd or 48000 ZAR
which is the same price as the g17 2022 model I looked into first, I heard that there are alot of screen and power issues with this g16 which made me fairly skeptical.

Thanks simple brief and straight to the point

Thanks!

I have a RTX 40 series Acer Nitro 5 on the way. Pretty nice looking specs, will see when I have it in my hands.

To be honest i think buying a laptop with medium level graphic cards like 3060,3070,4060,4070 is a better choice because most people buys laptops with these cards so it has a bigger community and bigger community means large number of gamers because of which game developers have to optimize their games for these GPUs, that means you will not face any problem with the performance of the game.

I despised the idea of rtx 3050 dell g15(2023)
So i bought the rtx 3060 dell g15(2022) for 1000$

Which is the best software for rendering ..GPU 3050 6GB Core i5-13420 - GPU 2060 6GB Core I7-9750H

I'd actually be screwed without this channel

What would be better, an 3050 ti + i7 or 3060 + i5? The processors are both 10th gen.

What is the ideal screen size for gaming laptop? Is it 15.6 inces? Most of the laptops in gaming segment I find are 15.6 inches. Some variants are in 17.3 inches, top variants are in 18 inches. Which is the ideal one? Please say 15.6 😂

A comparative video between this model and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i would be great, both are aimed at a similar segment. Hope you upload your review about slim 7i gen 8 soon 🙌🏻 love your reviews 👏🏻

C'est pourtant simple de bien acheter un ordi portable : des touches de direction de taille normale, un port RJ45 obligatoire, deux ports USB à gauche si vous êtes droitier, ou l'inverse si vous êtes gaucher, une sortie HDMI, un écran matte minimum 15 pouces, au moins un emplacement SSD libre, un clavier non rétroéclairé (sérieux : quelle merde à l'utilisation avec leurs couleurs à la con !), et bien entendu : au moins 16Go de RAM. Rien qu'avec ces critères de bon sens, vous éliminez d'office 95% des machines actuellement vendues ! Je précise parler d'une machine de travail, considérant qu'ils est complètement stupide d'acheter un portable pour faire des jeux...

Could you clarify the comment "Intel performs better than AMD in games" ? Isn't the main story of last few years is AMD is wiping the floor with Intel ? Not trying to start a war or something, just ordered a 5600H Lenovo gaming laptop and prefered AMD. Was I wrong ?

Thanks!

Wish me luck. Got a msi gf66 katana with i9 and 3070ti for 999 from… Walmart. 16 gb ram. This is a strange spec. Like a v10 Corolla.

1650 is pretty good considering screens at those prices are capped at 1080p 60/144hz anyway
