The combination of having an expensive gaming laptop being attached to Bob via shoulder straps in a busy intersection coupled with Bob's general carelessness with his electronics is near-panic-attack-inducing.
I would need to safe up a LONG time for such a Laptop, would handle it safer than a baby xD
Who cares he doesn’t pay for any of it
This comment is proof of this mans cringe fan base😂 what losers
@@mlem6951 if you read the description you can see intel send him this laptop so it it didn't cost him anything but even than if i got this laptop i would be a lot more carefull with
the way you value items gotta change. Panic attack inducing over a laptop??
Can we please get more Bob Around Town?
bob please 🥺
Bob around town is great 👍
Sounds like an amazing reality show
I agree
Agree seeing him around the town is a refreshing take which expands not only his persona but a certain level of interest and connection with real life - maybe visiting particular places where gaming is not expected - the Guggenheim?
Laptops have been upping the game a lot for, at least, the last 3 years. And there is something that now is way less relevant but during the GPU shortage, getting a Gaming Laptop was an amazing deal for the buck in that context. Not being able to upgrade your processor and GPU may be a bummer, but if you get one with upgradable RAM and disk you may have a gaming powerhouse for a good couple of years and still get some resale value whenever you decide to make a jump.
You make some good points.
That is exactly what I did since I couldn't find a console. Pretty happy with my choice so far.
@@MrJackOfNoTradesCryptos went to to shit, not that great of a business mining now plus supply getting better.

@@Linus-qo4qe hey, I'm a big fan of your Tech Tips
@@BeatEmUps thx! I am a big fan of your content as well
😂
Never thought I ever see someone stand in middle of crosswalk with a gaming laptop and someone in crutches has to go around them 🤣
I’ve been a laptop gamer forever now and I will say: you’re gonna have the laptop die in like 20 minutes, the laptop will burn your legs if you actually use it on your lap, the fans are so loud you have to wear headphones and can’t really bring it to a coffee shop or library without getting looks. While laptop gaming is my preferred method ( especially with an egpu) it’s definitely not the best. Can’t wait for my steam deck
It really, really, depends on what you have but yeah. Steam deck is probably more convenient👍
Yeah, watching this I couldn't help but think - in all of these scenarios that he was using this laptop, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. He even says it has all day battery life for gaming and editing. The hell?
@@teh_hunterer maybe for now, just wait until the battery kills itself in a few months. Had to get my battery replaced multiple times on my gaming laptop until i just stopped caring and basically used it as a crappier desktop because as soon as it was unplugged it died.
you either die a high powered laptop or live long enough to see yourself become a mediocre mid tier desktop.
I’ve used a gaming laptop for a long time as well, and I can’t say I’ve ever had any heat issues and the fan wasn’t horribly loud (mine was an older 2015 Asus ROG, which is being replaced by Lenovo Legion tomorrow). The battery and DCIN port was, however, a weak point on it and had to be replaced twice, or a third time were I not opting to replace it this time around.
Me, who never leaves the house: I now think I need a powerful gaming laptop for when I leave the house!
Seeing Bob throw his PC and monitor made a part of me die on the inside
This video epitomizes Wulff Den’s video narrative style and why I keep coming back - good production values, clear audio and consistent narrative throughout - as usual great work
I know this is a sponsor spot so perhaps you couldn’t dive too deeply into the emulation waters, but Alder Lake is pretty highly touted for emulation as well. While I have a desktop rig with a 12700, these new chips are able to handle everything thrown at them, across the SKUs.
Of course it can emulate good even my shitty laptop can play mario kart wii in dolphin emulator at 720p 60fps and my beefy desktop pc can play red dead redemtion via xenia at a pretty stable 1080p 60fps with a few tweaks and dolphin emulator easily at 4k or even higher
holy crap my dude's got sponsored by intel, Go you!
I recently got me an ASUS G14 2022 model, I was skeptical of getting another gaming laptop since the last one I had was 10 years ago and it was very meh for a gaming laptop. But I gotta say some of these laptops they’ve been making within the last 3 years are absolutely amazing. I can’t even begin to tell ya how happy I am with my G14. And that Scar is probably the best powerful laptop you can get from ASUS. Welcome to the PC race friend and I hope you enjoy your stay :)
I want a gaming laptop with a really really stable fps in games and cold temperature with high end specs
Fun fact: The mobile 3080 Ti isn't actually a 3080 Ti chip. It's closer to the 3070 chip, and only reaches good performance if it's cooled really, really well. (which varies from device to device)
The only one that is close is the 3060 which I belive is the same chip and reaches very close to the desktop 3060. The 3070 and higher tier cards in laptops are further away from their desktop counterparts
yup
3080Ti in laptop is basically a scam.
A 3070 mobile with good cooling and power budget will beat 3080Ti.
To be having a good 3080Ti in a laptop, you want the thick boi laptop that cost around $5000 that has 600W bricks at least
@@Dominus_Potatus That;s not the point. He was impressed by its performance anyway (many will be in that position) and the video was super fun. That's what matters.
@@vsRaiden The point here is Asus/Intel/Nvidia tries to sell gaming product that's more expensive and not even better than the cheaper version.
You know the battery life and performance when on battery is horrible when Bob avoids mentioning it.
Bob standing on the middle of the Chelsea Market street. Oh man I wish I was around the area for that one, that would've been quite the scene LOL
Gaming laptops no longer have the stigma of "LOL u game on a laptop" no these days laptops can even hold their own now even compared to high end desktops, I've a ge76 raider and I don't regret getting it over a desktop.
How much did the ge76 costs?
@@Carlosdesignergrafico Depends on the configuration. Can be as low as $1100 for a 3060 model and as high as $4000 for the 4K screen, 3080ti, and core i9-12900.
@@crestofhonor2349 thanks!
Not to mention that a PS5, Xbox Series, and gaming desktop parts are hard to get. But apparently, it's a lot easier to get a gaming laptop that's more powerful than the devices mentioned
In addition, you can easily buy an Xbox Series S (just a recommendation for those who can't afford a high grade gaming laptop. Mine was like $2500 USD)
I actually started thinking of getting my first gaming laptop recently. Maybe it's the time to get them since gaming feels like its slowing down and the best graphics games aren't the best games anymore. I mostly want to play games that aren't available on consoles, but aren't new enough to justify a huge beefy desktop. Something that's just a little bit better than a steamdeck.
You can get a 1500 dollar laptop these days that will play anything just fine. Do it. There are just a lot of options
Gaming laptops in this price point are more than a little better than steam decks lol
@@portman8909 im now 100% set on getting a legion go or another handheld pc. Newer games just aren't worth it and its nice being able to move it around like nothing.
For the games I play handheld is too small so laptop is perfect. Plus it's as close to the desktop speed as you're gonna get without too much compromise. @@marumisu9560
Am I the only one that finds these “I finally got X videos bc X sponsored me videos?”
I too, found this video.
Yes, I also found this video
Kinda, feels a bit scummy. I don’t want to be advertised too. I want his own fun ideas….
glad I'm not the only one who found this video
@@randomphil8666 Then don't watch the video, it's not like he has completely sold out, and he has to pay his bills somehow
idd love to see you cover something like the gpd win 2 or the gpd win max 2. If you dont know what they are, they are essentially "pocket" sized gaming pc's.
That might happen
I remember when gaming laptops got decent performance for the price around 2009. They've gotten better recently but that was the first year I remember noticing them not being $3k to still be slower than a desktop.
About this time last year I picked up a strix g15 advantage edition and had many of the same experiences you're having now. Laptops have gotten very good. Enjoy it sir, thanks for making cool videos!
I have a ROG Strix G17 and can recommend it. I settled on that line after wayyy too many hours of research. As a complete package considering what sort of specs you can get for the money, ASUS' gaming laptops are super competitive and generally better value for the money than comparable laptops from MSI, Razer, etc... Mine has a 3070 and AMD Ryzen 5900HX CPU (sorry, decided against Intel). I got it for $1,700 open box and don't regret it at all. Mine is not the "SCAR" version so not quite as flashy looking but similar in most ways. This is my first PC and I'm a fan of ASUS now, their customer service has been great also IMO. Shopping for a gaming laptop on a moderate budget is an enormous hassle if you don't want to get ripped off, if you want to save yourself time and headache my recommendation is to lean toward ASUS for the $1,500-$2,500 range at least.
My MSI laptop was a nightmare to deal with when I first got it despite the price and performance.
i also have the rog strix 17 with 5900x but the one I got has a 3080 (massive waste of money don't bother with more than a 3070). They were IMPOSSIBLE to find for soooo long so I took the one I could find even if it cost me more than I wanted. They are by far the best brand for gaming laptops but you still need to do your research.
@@OhSoTiredMan I nearly went with an MSI laptop for a higher price tag just because I preferred the look of the computer. I'm glad I didn't pay that much more just for style. MSI also seems to have some deal with Intel where it's pretty much impossible to find a pre-built from them with an AMD Ryzen CPU + Nvidia RTX GPU. If you want an RTX card, then you have to also go with an Intel CPU. I had decided I wanted a Ryzen processor but the only MSI laptops you can find that have Ryzen chips are the "advantage editions" that also come with AMD Radeon graphics cards. It was clear that MSI deliberately limits customer choice on what cards their laptops come with. You get Intel + NVIDIA or AMD + AMD and that's it. Razer has similar anti-consumer practices that made me rule them out.
@@OhSoTiredMan They have a lot of nice laptops, if money was no object to me at all then I would've probably gotten one of the most high-end custom MSI laptops. They're cool. But I consistently found I could get about equivalent performance from ASUS for like $1,000 less than a similar MSI or Razer, etc.
I have the Legion 5 Pro with a 3060. I love the laptop. Previously I had an MSI GS63 which wasn't the best at everything but it had thunderbolt 3 and a 1060
LOL I LOST IT WHEN THE ONEWHEEL WENT BY!!! "Meeeeeehw!" XD 2:46
I know nothing about making content but this looked like a lot of effort for a laptop review. I loved all the outside footage and all the bits but my God how long did this take to film? I’m definitely gonna have to rewatch this video multiple times and I don’t care for gaming laptops.
thats because this was just a 9 min long commercial
Faster than most other channels though
I would not consider this a review, this was more of a first impression of the laptop, which is OK. If it were a review, it would go more in depth on performance, not just on Valorant. I would also not consider it a review for the inherent bias because he received it from Intel, and it is sponsored. Again, there is nothing wrong with that, he wasn't hiding that.
About 3 days of planning and 4-5 days of shooting and editing all spread out over about 2 months. Intel hooked it up so I wanted to hook them up 👍👍👍
@@WulffDen it’s great work mate. Props to yourself and your team. My favourite bits is the wedding in the for background. It was hilarious and the couple looked cute.
Just got an asus tuf dash f15, 3060, tb ssd, intel i7, lots of ram and a 144hz screen. It runs everything I want better than any of the recent consoles I’ve owned, which is a series x and ps5. Just in a little laptop. It’s crazy. Yours is probably the top of the line of what asus offers cause your specs are just crazy
Bob and Bob are my favorite duo on TH-cam
Few things wrong with this video. I don't really think WULF DEN purposely put wrong information in the video. Anyway, here are the wrong things:
Most importantly, the battery won't last all day while gaming (maybe 45 mintues to an hour). Under light use the battery will last around 3-4 hours.
Playing a youtube video in the background will engage the p-cores and gpu. This will affect gaming performance. On the laptop it will be noticeable depending on the game you're playing.
The machine ships with a mux switch so an extra monitor won't provide a performance boost. You'll get higher frame rates if you play on a monitor with a lower native resolution.
The machine does not perform heavy tasks without "breaking a sweat". The CPU will thermal/power limit throttle in this machine. I'm only aware of 2 laptops with a 12900h that don't throttle for sure and they are water-cooled.
The youtubeception at 7:07 was amazing.
Will you be able to stream to TH-cam in good quality as well if u was playing warzone or other fps
My G15 is now my main pc. I went for a gaming laptop this time around because it cost the same as one 3080TI.
I got one with a 3070 in it because it was the cheapest way to get a 3070
Yes. A "3070" it's definitely still the equivalent of a desktop 3070.
@@kernalmustang260 I have a similar laptop with a 3070 and have not found one game yet I cannot run on ultra settings at 2k 165hz. PC gaming elitists are so weird that you have to find reasons to look down on other people with a PC.
Except it performs nothing like a desktop 3070
@@WinterReflections true
@@SuperSavageSpirit Explain these apparently massive performance differences that are essential to you. What are you doing/what practical differences are you getting from a desktop 3080 that you just couldn't do with a mobile 3080? I really don't buy it. At a certain point performance differences from midrange to high end are basically just so you can say "I have the best one".
I seem to have lost where the sponsor part ended and the actual topic started. hahahaha!
have the same laptop for a few weeks now and its a beast!
my switch and onexplayer (5700u) have been left gathering dust coz tbh, gaming laptops nowadays just do it all with very little to no compromises (except of course batt consumption as this thing chugs power, but understandably so). But being able to bring it to trips for media consumption to heavy gaming is just empowering.
Good to know your joining the bandwagon! Great piece! 👍🤟
Sound effects at 2:50 are on point! Great informative video!
Great video! I was wondering when you would do a gaming laptop video. I use my Aya Neo which is mainly my daily driver
I like how the song at 3:08 had the signature Pharrell 4 count in the beginning
I just watched what was effectively a 9m27s advertisement and i have no regrets. Great vid, Bob!
Not that my 2 cents matters but I’ve never been in a situation where a gaming laptop made sense. Unless you travel a lot for work or maybe you are in college and go back and forth from your parents to college in my opinion this is just a bad idea. You can build or buy a pre built pc that will last longer and be considerably cheaper than a gaming laptop. The switch, steam deck, or any gaming emulator is perfect for the small out and about moments where you want to get in a 20 min game somewhere
8:00 I love the keyboard man
How does the battery last a full day of gaming and editing without compromising like turning brightness down etc
ayy nice laptop! I bought a zephyrus G14 a few months ago and love it
I cant imagine standing in the middle in of the street playing on my gaming laptop lol
Honestly thinking of switching back to Windows from my 2018 i9 MacBook Pro for freelance video editing/motion graphics after seeing this (also for gaming since I currently use a pretty eh desktop with a Ryzen 7 in it). I was holding out to maybe just get a MacBook Pro with an M2 in a few months instead but the mention of decent fans on this peaks my interest since thermal throttling was a huge problem on my Mac since the damn thing barely has any airflow
I bought the 2022 msi ge76 raider with the 3080 and intel i9 in it and it's a beast of a laptop.its amazing how far laptops have gone in the last few years
Ayo the ge76 is a beast I've the same as you except mine is with a 12th gen i7
@@pulseofme6884 amazing piece of tech alright.well worth the price
I just wonder how long it lasts with mild gaming sessions
Great video! I just bought a laptop with amazing specs and have gotten a nice collection of games from Steam. I consider myself a console gamer, but I am starting to see the popularity of PC gaming.
I'd probably get a gaming laptop too if Intel sent me one 😂😂
Hey Bob, if you want better frames in Minecraft without compromising on graphical fidelity, install the Fabric-based Sodium mod, and maybe Phosphor and Lithium. They're the best performance improvers.
Is it really bright enough to be usable outside?
1:51 Damn you i opened discord thinking i was getting a call 💀💀
That desktop throw had my heart rate RACING.
I love that Bob is so gung ho about portable device yet he always talks about playing his Switch docked 90% of the time.
It's called money. Intel sponsor money :D
hes said a few times he just likes the option. thats how i feel with my switch n eventually steam deck. just have it docked most the time cause thats more comfortable but its nice having the portable option for trips, on the bus, ect
I both love and crige Bob just YEETING the desktop across the room 🤣
Got this laptop too but in i9/3070ti with 1080p 300hz screen and it basically benched my desktop as well.
Yo man this is awesome. I'm a big fan of laptops there's a lot of bang for the buck to be had out there. A new fairly budget machine can play tons of favorite games from the past couple decades.
Seeing this compared to the other handhelds made me happy.
I want a gaming laptop. This just inspired me.
Got this laptop and I gotta say, it’s awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!
Seeing Bob running around town with a game laptop is hilarious
I have the 15" version with i9 12900 and 3070 ti and it runs games as well as my desktop with 10900k and 3080. 12th gen processor really makes a difference.
This video is incredibly well made Bob, well done!
great video and great laptop. you should mention though that you only get all that power when plugged in and gaming laptop chargers are usually huge. you lose power when plugged out and battery power during gaming isn't great.
Can you put a link to purchase said laptop
I started with a gaming laptop as well but then ended up just moving completely to pc because of the battery life beefy gpus and cpus require a lot of power forcing you to always keep the laptop plugged in which defies its original purpose, portability ..
Portability is still there. Are you going to pack up your desktop, monitor and peripheral’s to go on a vacation, hospital etc or fold up a laptop, mouse, adapter, headset to put in a backpack easily.
@@artbyddp that's just my personal opinion I don't find gaming laptops to be worth my money anymore others may disagree with me and that's okay since each person may have different experiences and reasons to owning a gaming laptop. I just find myself mostly bringing a switch or vita to game on the go anyways
@@meowmeow9828 I too game on my Switch and majority of the time more than my PC but gaming laptops to me are like pop up shop’s and I’m not saying one is better than the other by no mean’s and I’m glad it works out best for your user scenario
it really depends if you want to play comp games like valorant and be good get a desktop but if your ok with not being the best player in the server while also being able to play anywere get a laptop
Need a new video discussing every handheld you own and whether it will run minecraft at 60 fps
I havent used a laptop in almost 7 years, but if I had the money to buy one at the moment I'd 100% be buying this one. Bob the professional salesmen
The editing is priceless create video bob
It's interesting seeing your progression from primarily using the Mac and Switch in your daily life to Windows and Linux (on the steam deck) and having a fetish for clicky keyboards.
Man, I'm glad your Steam Deck videos aren't sponsored, because they felt so much more organic/genuine. This video really does feel like a commercial.
Still rocking my old Legion Y540.
I love Asus ROG & am definitely jelly. I had one a while back & found it to be a solid workhorse. It’s been almost 20 years since I had my last desktop & I haven’t missed the experience. Cheers!
How do you make your videos look so good while keeping the file size so small? I say that as someone who regularly downloads TH-cam videos across various channels. It seems your videos are not only much better looking but also just super compressed or something in that the file sizes are substantially lower to other videos with lesser quality and similar run times. Is this something I could learn on skill share? How are you so good at photography and cinematography stuff? I admire your photo skills as much as your emulator chops.
I play apex legends on an Asus mx350 laptop. 720p 50 frames sometimes with stuttering. I can't wait to get my hands on something really capable. This laptop is beautiful
The discord call sound had me checking discord XD
Rewound the part where the guy goes by on the scooter about 10 times. Mreeeeeww! Hahahaha
Slight change of pace from the last video’s sponsor segment
This reminds me of the time I saw a dude on his laptop standing AT THE URINAL in the San Jose airport
This thing looks sick! I had an ASUS ROG laptop. It’s what I used to game on and edit WDL clips lol. Thing was badass. Also, new Minecraft server? 😂
I have been looking at gaming laptops this past year and I was recommended an Acer- Nitro 5!! I just want to game/stream and be able to take it anywhere for work hehe.
Why is the Fed-Ex truck at 5:50 censored?
just passing by to say that you exactly look like "First Fragment" lead guitarist... have a good day!
Dont forget the price on such a computer lol. But still good points and entertaining.
Bob using a gaming mouse will feel much more smoother than a productivity mouse
You should try the Asus z13 with the 3050ti. I ditched my steam deck and aya neo next for it. It’s awesome for couch and bedroom gaming. I use it in tablet mod with a Xbox controller. Playing through elden ring on it right now on max graphics.
Super solid video as always o:
As soon as that Discord call audio hit I thought I was getting a call and started to panic for some reason. Just caught me off guard.
How is the battery life on it
Wulff Den sunday video? Weird but I’ll take it.
does that laptop get hot i mostly worry about getting to hot tor long game play
Can someone link the laptop in the description please
it seems insane that this is all portable
Been wanting to get into laptop gaming, but I’ve always been comfortable with consoles. Would anyone recommend staying with a Xbox SX or switching to gaming on a laptop?
I figured this was just gonna be a long ad and I wasn't disappointed.
I would love to upgrade from this old beast of a desktop (or even just upgrade the desktop) because It's finally just not gonna run some of the newest stuff even in lowest resolution, but holy shit the price for a half-way decent gaming laptop feels like it's jumped a few hundred $$'s the last year or two, and I don't expect things to slow down with all the chip crap. So I've resigned myself to playing everything I've missed on consoles I never had, or PC games I never gave a chance, from the last 30 or so years. And honestly there's so much out there I don't think I'm gonna need something beefier for another decade.
Always love the top quality content my dude. And my god, the cringe was on point, with the around town shots
I got the 2022 Zephyrus G14 recently from someone for $1,000 brand new and it was the best purchase I have made this year. Lately I've been bringing it to work and play it during my breaks. (Don't got a Steam Deck but eventually.)
2:47 lmfao. Oh Bahb….
Gaming time equals to half an hour without an outlet can't be considered as a thing that allow you to game anywhere dude
put some optimization mods on your minecraft, and some shaders too
I just got the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and realized how nice gaming laptops really are
i have a love hate relationship between my gaming laptop and myself. Its the ge75 raider from msi, i use it as desktop 90% of the time, but it also gets fucking like searing hot if i play for 15 minutes or have too many tabs open on opera. I also find that operagx is pretty resource intensive when you have a lot of tabs open, so just find myself pinning all my stuff in firefox.
They gave him a $2200 laptop. Tough life.
