Hello, do you know any daily deals for France ? Love your vids
Jarrod, which thermal paste is the GOAT for gaming laptops? If money is no object and all that matters is purely longevity and low temps, which one is the best in the market for laptops that we can repaste with?
Love your videos btw ❤
are you gonna review the new zephyrus g16 we didnt get a fair review from your side, you only did g14, please consider doing the g16 too 🙏🙏🙏
Legions have spoiled me with rear ports. I'll never go back
i dont know why other laptops never did this , port in the fron aspecially for headphones are a most instead the sid ones keep hindering your arm that uses the mouse on the right like a obnoctious child 😀😀
Their design isn’t very appealing though 😭
@@ratuldeoun7228 They are great especially the white legions
Legions seem to be reversing that though... 😭
@@ratuldeoun7228Legions generally aren't meant to be flashy. They're meant to be more on the understated side to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
Yo how you doin my bro, love your reviews
Pretty good, about to head to sleep 😌 thanks!
@@JarrodsTech have a nice rest bro
Every review of yours are so detailed and it's so entertaining to hear your voice. When's the G16 vs Legion 7i comparison coming?
We still haven't received the G16 yet, so that needs to happen first. ASUS promise us it's coming soon™
@@JarrodsTechasus looolll
@@JarrodsTech Asus really letting you in the party late huh
Will you be reviewing any of the upcomming Snapdragon powered laptops? I know they're not really gaming focused, but I like your review style and I'd love to see your take on the new player in the CPU arena.
Jarrod, your reviews are always the best.
Glad you like them!
At this point i just watch these videos for keyboard temperatures (heat detection camera? effect looks cool)
😀😀
Amazing video as always Jarrod! im waiting for the 17x variant, i want to know the differences between 2023 and 2024 model, if there are great improvements, i will buy it.
For us Australian tech enthusiasts, is it possible to try out the Metabox VX lineup? Specifically the 4060 because im very keen on buying a gaming laptop rn but im very picky on both cooling and if USB-C allows PD. As well as i very much enjoy your videos and as a fellow aussie, i usually go to every one of your videos for whenever i decide to check out said laptop. Good videos and reviews, very thorough and i hope you get way more subscribers.
Love your content ❤
Thanks!
Laptop prices should be the following; Rtx 4050 for $800, 4060 for $1k, 4070 for $1200-1300, 4080 for $1800-2k, & 4090 $2-2.5k, anything higher is too much imo.
how old are these gpus?
@@ACE112ACE112 1 year old.
@4evahodlingdoge226 agreed. Most 4080 laptops go for 2.5k dollars, while a 4090 can net you anywhere from 3k to 4k.
@@Dragoneye2427 On sale you can find the prices i listed but at launch the prices are awful.
Hi Jarrod, thank you so much for your great work! I was wondering if you are going to review the Acer Predator Triton Neo 16 in the future?
Nice review, Jarrod. Would you recommend this with i7 or the Acer Predator Neo 16 with i9?
Just Bought this laptop few weeks back and now since the new bios update ( F7/F006 ) my power button
Isn't working when trying put the laptop to sleep ...button works as usual to turn it on and off tho
( Yes I tried checking power options to change what pouwer button does all looks fine there)
Other thing is inbuilt speakers randomly make crackling sound
😢
hello jarrod can u pls help me on this
I had a faulty CPU temp on my lenovo legion laptop I did a repaste on the CPU myself, it had metal liquid on it which I cleaned now still temps are not good though as it reaches 100C and temps are not stable. do u think lenovo would repair my laptop or it void the warranty? should I clean the thermal paste and send it to warranty?
Hi jarrod. love your videos! one question:
is there any major issues with zephyrus g16 2023 version? i'm about to buy it and i wanted to know your thoughts on it.
No major issues other than low CPU power limit (I think like 25 W when gaming) but I'm sure you're aware that thin and light gaming laptops don't get as good performance as heavier ones.
Hey Jarrod If you can, Do a review on the new MSI Vector 16.
Hello there
I have a Cyborg 15 and I’m always worried about its fan being filled with lint and other debris that can affect my laptop
Can you do a general video of how to clean a laptop?
I have question, who's better dell precision 7740or7730
Also who's better Nvidia Quadro rtx3000orP3200, i need ur advice
bought this laptop 5 days ago and it was smooth. Got the i7 14650HX/4060 16gb RAM. Light laptop for it's punch.
one thing to note is that reviews should also include the packaging, mine came with a free waterproof Aoros bag, an Aoros gaming headset and mouse.
Will there be a laptop test: Gigabyte AORUS 17X AZG 2024?
Means if i connect a larger Display over the TB4 USB C Port, i can only use the internal CPU Graphocs for gaming then?
I search for a laptop that i can use on my larger Monitor and with ext. Mouse and Keyboard and on the road with the device only
So what i have to lloking for?
Thanks for your awesome videos
Hey Jarrod, I really like your solid reviews on these gaming laptops. I was wondering if possible, can you please review the MSI Vector 16 hx laptop? I am thinking of buying this laptop since it's a little bit cheaper at 2700$, with 14th gen i9 and rtx 4080. But I haven't been able to find reviews on this laptop on the internet.
Probably no point as far as I know it's the same as the 13th gen we already covered, and 14th gen i9 is basically a rebrand of 13th gen i9 - doesn't justify a week+ of testing sorry.
@@JarrodsTech Hey Jarrod, thanks for your response. I completely understand, you have other laptops to cover as well, so no obligations. But when you say you have already covered the 13th generation one, are you talking about MSI Vector GP 68? Because I guess Vector 16hx probably has the 14th gen CPU, and not the 13th gen. But if you're talking about the Vector GP 68 that you have already reviewed, I have watched that video, and you concluded in your video that the GP 68 has good performance, but its screen is really bad with poor colour reproduction. For the Vector 16hx I guess they have a new 1600p display, with 100% colour gamut, that's what is written on their website. So, will you recommend me to buy the vector 16 hx ? My budget is around 2700$ Also in vector 16 laptop the CPU power limit is 65 watt when GPU is running I guess, and the combined CPU + GPU is 240 watt. But for let's say raider GE 78hx it has a combined power limit of 250 watt (75 watt for CPU), and the newer ge78hx model with 14th gen CPU costs 3000$, so is it worth spending 3000$ just for 10 watts of performance difference, where other specs are the same? The older ge78 model with the 13th gen CPU is priced lower (2600$), which I had selected initially, but it's out of stock, so I had to change to vector 16hx. What do you think about vector 16 hx Vs Asus scar 18 (4080 version) since both have 65 watt CPU limit? Sorry for this very long comment.
Is it good or legion pro 5i gen 8 same everything except the cpu 13700hk for legion and 13650hk for aorus 16x
what should i buy ?
Hey Jarrod, I bought Eluktronics Mech 15 G3 with 5900HX, Rtx 3080 165W 16Gb Vram and 32 Gb RAM for 1400$ CAD. What do you think? Did I get a nice deal?
Do you know what that black sticker is i need for those bottom screws?
can you review aorus 7? and if you do get the bios update from their website, without it the batterylife sucks and the price for performance is decent and what shocks me that it gets near the best intel best batterylife holder, it's 2023 and the secondary functions light up no worries hahaha
How is the gaming performance when charged using a 100 watt USB PD charger?
The design is slick and lighting is perfect and this is out of my budget
Was the lapptop running on the igpu in Wither 3 when unplugged?
Is there any chance Acer Nitro 16 will be reviewed?
Can you do a video about the 2024 Loq 15ahp9? I can hardly find anything about it
Not quite sure if theres really a point tho, since theres just a new cpu and a new chassis design im aware of
*Edit: spelling mistake
I got the 17x with a 13900HX and a 4080, and aside from not being able to overclock the cpu or ram, im pretty happy with it, especially considering i only paid $2,500 after tax. Its also crazy thin, and despite the hardware inside and the thin build, it's also surprisingly quiet under load
can you please do a review of the XMG Core 15
I remember when choosing the right gaming machine was a headache for me, so I used the money to build a pc and I got a regular laptop for work, never looked back. Now I watch reviews of gaming laptops as a past-time 😂
I own a 3060 gigabyte laptop(gigabyte aorus 15p). Even though it's a good laptop, i didn't like the fact that gigabyte customer support is basically trash. It has a bios problem that hasn't been fixed for about 2 years now
Aorus 16x or aorus 17h ? What do you say ?
I am looking to buy an MSI raider 18... however there is barely any reviews of it... anyone knows of one?
Hey can you do a review of asus tuf a15(2024 model) which has rtx 4070?
Jarrod, My lenovo Legion slim 7 keeps overheating to 90 degrees C only with chrome. I had to solve it by force it to 30W from lenovo vantage. Is it common? (my room temp is 36 degrees)
Assuming you're not doing anything hardcore in chrome, maybe needs paste change.
Bro make a video of it, send it to Lenovo and get a heat sink+motherboard changed. DO NOT repaste the laptop. Lenovo uses a modified version of Honeywell PTM 7950, it is called PTM 7958, so do not repaste your laptop.
Room temp 36 CELSIUS? That's pretty hot. My room temp is like 20-25c
I had to do the same but I have an asus advantage edition it would just 96c on any game even with new paste so I'm forced to use 30-35w on CPU
undervolt the GPU, set the CPU clockspeed limit via Windows settings or power consumption via Throttlestop if you have Intel
Hey Boss, we need you to test the Snapdragon Laptops, sure, it's not gaming laptops, but you are by far the most experience and trustworthy laptop channel out there..
Thanks, please also review legion pro 5i gen 9 (2024)
I don't know if there's any point as it's the same as 2023 just with a "new" CPU.
@@JarrodsTech
There are only minor changes but i think worth a review and if it does worth over last years model and this years legion 5i or not.
Any chance for a Asus g16 review?
Hi, is acer helios neo 16 with rtx 4060, i73700hx with 1tb ssd and 16 ram. Is this a good laptop to buy? Aside from the weight and battery, ive checked that it is cheaper than lenovo Legion 5i and even this gigabyte 16x. In my Country those cost like two to three thousand more. Is it good bang for buck or is it a bad laptop?
It's good
Please review 2024 Acer Predator Helios and Helios Neo and ASUS TUF A16 2024 with Ryzen AI processor
Is there a reason CPUs limit to 45w often, while GPUs go 140w in the same chasis?
Hey Jarrod, could you make a video about ASUS Strix G16 (2024) please?
Should I pull the trigger on a Legion Pro on sale with Ryzen 7 and RTX 4070? It will be my first laptop
I know this was 3 weeks ago, but how much was it? And how much ram/storage were you getting?
Yeah, we need more info.
When are we going to get the G16 vs Legion 7i? im getting a new gaming laptop next weekend and i need to know what to buy
When we're able to get a G16. Assuming you're referring to ASUS. Unfortunately, we've been trying to get one from them for months. They promise it's coming just don't know when.
Legion 7i
Please compare rog ally x and rog ally z1 extreme, possible also make video rog ally x usb4+external gpu
Jarrods, may you review asus tuf a14 once it comes out?
Hopefully!
Please do a dusting test, because dust accumulation lowers the performance dramatically(I am getting lower performance due to dust in MSI GE67HX 12UGS) (Note: I blow compressed air to get out of the dusts). I haven't used asus but asus have a good dust protection system and it seems like this gigabyte aorus laptop have too.
Also, I wonder that can the fans be extracted without lifting the whole heat sinking because repasting(with ptm7950 and upsiren u6 pro) can be dangerous especially for those who are not experienced now don't want get trouble with the laptop which prices can be up to 4000 dollars easily
For instance I bought my MSI GE67HX laptop 4000 US dollar ,despite release price of the laptop is 2500 us dollar in the United States.
Man that 100 watt cap is the most annoying thing ever. Lucky that you guys hit 100 though. I got a 140 watt rtx 4060 and the highest Ive ever seen is 88 watts. I feel the the GPU should be allowed enough power to keep fps at over 60fps at 1080p and 1440p native. It would be nice if it actually hit the 125 watts minus dynamic boost.
that's why I chose the 14.5 inch 1.75kg legion slim, since going thicccer, larger and much heavier doesn't increase performance, instead its just a waste since the bigger chassis has only disadvanteges and no benefits, except a larger screen
Hey heve you experience a black screen on the Lenovo slim 5?
Try getting into BIOS by spamming F2 when starting up and changing GPU mode
I am actually waiting Asus Tuf A14 fa401wv, and wondering too much. Please review next time
Hoping to review it
The obnoxious fan noise (complete with high pitched whistling) and awful control software are reason enough to avoid this laptop, even if it does go on sale.
Sounds like the Zephyrus G16 😂

Hey Jarrod, still waiting for your thoughts on the G16 (2024).
We are too. 😭
Should i buy a legion slim 5 with ryzen 7 cpu and a rtx 4060 or pay $200 more and get a strix g15(2022) with ryzen 9 cpu and a rtx 3070 ti?
3070 ti is not worth $200 more imo
The only laptops i am barely intrested in are the zephyrus g16, due its display and the legion 7i for its looks.
Thats it.
Did it run on nvidia gpu on battery?
It can be intel gpu
Yes it can run on Nvidia GPU on battery but the wattage is so low you can't do anything intensive with it
If the AI mode on laptops like the Legion series only works with a particular set of games, who are were to say that they’re doing anything more impressive than the .plist or .xml in use here? Like, if it is AI, why can’t it optimize power when in running Microsoft Word?
Because you aren't power limited in that scenario. In gaming, laptops are heavily power limited and the components could draw twice as much power if they were able to. "AI" finds the best distribution of CPU and GPU power depending on how CPU or GPU intensive a game is.
Xmg core 15????
I don't under everyone test play back at 200 nits ? It like the screen almost black at that point
We only test battery performance a 200 nits for comparison purposes. All other testing is max brightness.
@@JarrodsTech i just think video play should be done at 75% brightness to a real world feel
You always try so hard, I think that's very good about you.
Will there ever be a zephyrus g16 2024 review?
Hopefully. We've been trying to get it from ASUS for a few months now. They assure us it's coming, but it's been coming for a while.

@@Blackowl2202 yeah that’s my fear
I had the Pro 5i and it was really quiet in class so 7i should be pretty similar. Just make sure to put it in quiet mode.
no, power off the dgpu and set it to quiet mode and youre fine
Would You reccomend buying a laptop in 2024? I have a 2019(?) Laptop with a 1660ti At the moment
Yes, 1660 Ti was great but it's been surpassed quite a lot by the current mid-range. Ultimately it depends if what you have no longer does what you need from it.
@@JarrodsTech Oh my, I've been watching you for years and I never expected a response in one of my comments thank you so much. I undervolted my gpu and cpu for better temps and i usually run in the high 50s Early to mid 60s temp wise. Do you have any reccomendations for laptops that dont turn into volcanos?

The XML files were actually AI that claim is not wrong, your are confusing AI with Machine Learning which is more specific and what you are thinking about
Please dont buy an Aorus. I have the 15P XD and there are basically no driver updates in years. Still on the old control center and the bios updates lower gaming performance. The only good thing has been the ease of upgradability for me.

@@zhe8450 Weird, the previous Aorus laptops were made in Taiwan. Manufacturers tend to move the assembly lines out of China.
1:19 no it doesn't. it was "RTX 4070 laptop GPU" which has drastically different specs compared to RTX 4070. Why defend the "laptop GPU" naming scheme so much, and then not use it at all, Jarrod? I thought you said many times how it's a much clearer distinction than "M".

Coming up this week!

i stopped watching after i saw the internals and shared heatpipes.
Every laptop with Nvidia GPUs are only worth buying with the "60" version of that GPU - 960, 1060, 2060, 3060, and 4060. Anything higher just isn't worth the money for the loss of performance. When the 50 series come out, I'll buy the the Gigabyte 4060 version. I have the Aero 15 4K oled with the i7 11th gen and 3060 gpu. And boy what a great laptop. I added 2 TB ssd and another 16 gigs and it's still a beast running any games at 1440p extremely well and any editing software and 3D software.
The 60 versions for Nvidia and i7 for Intel or any AMD comparable to an i7 of any generation is best for laptops. Higher than that and it's not worth it, and to just buy a desktop, then that will be worth power per dolllar.
I got a 4090 laptop for double the price of my previous 4060 laptop but performance quadrupled so this isn't always true. VRAM is becoming extremely important and the 60 series GPUs don't have much of that.
@nocommentarygaming2644 If we compared laptops to desktops, your laptop would not even compare to the true power of a desktop with a 4090. I hate to say this because I used to be a laptop guy until I realized how expensive laptops were becoming and can't even compete with the same specs of a desktop. So, I got smart, I buy a monster desktop then keep my laptops with the 60 versions. The laptop is just to start a project and the desktop is to finish it and polish it.
@@zoopfvisualeffects4721 I just like having everything on one device and my 4090 laptop plays everything at max settings at 1440p which is enough for me. This was unlike my previous 4060 laptop which would run out of VRAM. But I did get it for $2500 on sale - and desktops still offer better price to performance. I can't argue that point obviously.
@@zoopfvisualeffects4721 I like having everything on the same computer, but yes I'm aware how much more powerful a fully specced out desktop can be. That being said, I did get mine for a really good sale which makes it more price competitive.
