you should look into xmg oasis ready laptops, air coolers inside laptops can do only that much. so the solution found from xmg (don't know how effective that is) sounds way better
ASUS' new G14 and G16 line-up is by far my favourite. I would have prefered an AMD + Nvidia option on the G16, but we'll see what happens in the future. Currently, I don't have a reason to upgrade, but when 50 series come out and the design remains similar, I'm definitely going with those. Prices are gonna be insane as usual tho...
Same here. -OLED Screen is a must for me now. I like the thin design and I don't care about the xx80 or xx90 as they're always too overpriced and have poor price-to-perfromance for me.
Your videos are amazing. I bought the scar 18 last year after reviewing the product based on your reviews and now Im excited to see how the 2023 scar 18 fares against the 2024 variant. Very excited for the comparison. :)
@@tomoblasz2028 screen will no doubt be better since it will support hdr and I think cpu tdp has been increased by like 10W. I'm waiting for the comparison video but so far imo it's better to either get the 2023 model or the next RTX 50 series or whatever they decide to call it. The display on the 2023 model extraordinary even without hdr. Heads up before you purchase though. It does not support DSR factors which is needed to play games at higher resolutions downscaled to 1600p or whatever resolution your monitor supports.
Also I had a really bad silicon lottery with the cpu. And had a few hiccups over the past like 7 months. My display suddenly developed a red line and the left speaker started crackling. I gave it in for repairs and they fixed it for free as it was under warranty within 2 days. Support was amazing. It's a pain to remove fingerprints from the chassis btw
@@acardenasjr1340 If I understand right, there are no more Slim models (2024). If you got a Slim, then that's not 2024 model. TheShinobiWorldYT talking about 2024 models are disappointment. Not the previous ones.

Oh how I NEED the Titan review dude... There's not a single review on it yet, of course... but I'm literally checking every few hours! Haha, I'm definitly picking one up next month. I just need to know everything there is about it haha, and your reviews are simply the best. I've watched the GT77 review like 5 times now, just to get an idea of what's to come.

it makes non sense, this generation will have almost same performance as previous year edition. It's a lot better to wait for another CPU + GPU gen rev if you care about money

I currently have a 6800M laptop so i don't see myself updating that in the next 2 years, but after that, I will be checking what they came up with. EDIT: Just plz get OLED screens.

@4070super The risk is there but it takes a few years to notice it. Unless you work with colour-sensitive stuff like photo editing, burn-in shouldn't be something to worry about. You'll barely notice it some years into use and sometimes you forget that it's even there because the display still looks so good.
For that price I expect at least a mini LED display, not a standard IPS screen similar to laptops half the price. This is the only thing that keeps me from purchasing one, as well as the average build quality.

P.S can’t wait for the Asus Rog Strix Scar laptop reviews and the Acer Predator Helios reviews as well.
Hello, I'm from Poland, so sorry for my English. I've been watching you for some time and I learned a little about laptops thanks to you. I just bought a Lenovo Legion pro 5i CES 2024 with i9 14900HX, GTX 4070 and I would like to replace the RAM with a faster one, but I have little knowledge on this topic. Could you help me and write to what size this memory can be expanded and what would be the best. Thank you and best regards.
Buying my first gaming laptop but can’t decide. Should I wait for a the new AMD? I do like the MSI Titan but been researching and notice people have experience with MSI brand and issue with intel overheating. Can’t decide what to get 😢
Which laptop would you suggest for me? I enjoy playing first-person shooter games like Overwatch and role-playing games like Uncharted and God of War, but I'm not sure which laptop is best for gaming. I currently have a Razer Blade 15 3060 Rtx, but I want to upgrade. I'm not computer savvy, so could you suggest a solid, reasonable gaming laptop?
Im just looking for a laptop to play single player games and some old classics, not for multiplayer games or anything like that. Any recommendations on something that will have smooth gameplay and smooth graphics ?
the main thing that annoys me the most is a. why till 22 lenovo why one thought about 1440p 16:10 screen options b. how come is that now at 24 we are seeing oled making an appearance and probably one or two more years for it so everyone would use it i hate corporations
I want to go big, but im stuck between two laptops. I am definitely going 4080 or 4090, I am stuck between getting the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 4090 for $2900 and the 2024 Rog Strix Scar 16 they just dropped for $2900 as well. I like the features on the Scar more however the only thing holding me back is the overwhelming amounts of their laptops getting coil whine. I couldnt game knowing my components are rattling like that, itd just ruin the experience of it altogether. Just was unsure if the new models limited the coil whine or if its the same as last year
I hope they'll be some sort of refresh for the X16 Flow, or even a flow x18. I'm not even certain I'll be working in the same place in 7-odd months time, so something that is of a jack-of-all-trades in gaming, creativity and reading/writing documents, while having a decent enough battery life is probably better right now than a dedicated gaming rig. (In the region I'm in, the Flow X16 maxes out at the 4060 model)
Only thing I'd like to get ahold of is that new 400w charger from MSI for my GT77hx 13vi. On discrete mode it constantly triggers the 330w chargers switch. I have just been using my GT76 Titan DT SGS charger to get over the 400w threshold and no more power trips.
I’ve seen so many of these gaming laptops have black screen of death. I need a gaming laptop because I’ll be traveling internationally and I can’t risk my laptop dying after a month. What do you recommend I go with plz? It seems like nowadays all of them have these black screen death issues
Sir, please help me choose between I need a more office-like design, but with the ability to play games sometimes. Usage: 70% of the time - office work, 20% - movies, 10% - games I have settled on the following models so far Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16IRH8 Misty Gray (82YA00C6RA) Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16IRH8 Glacier White (82Y30086RA) Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00MHRA) Does it make sense to pay more and buy a Slim 7 or Pro 5? If so, which one is better? Or should I consider other brands and models?
I'll tell you about my experience: I've been playing/working on gaming laptops for almost 10 years. I have had PC Specialist, Asus Rog, Lenovo Legion and Alienware for 4 months. They are all high-performance laptops but I have never found continuity in performance with games. always problems with stuttering, frame drop etc. I'm lucky to be very experienced in knowing where to put my hands on both hardware and software, but I can say that when we say desktop replacement, it's half a lie...
Did you get the Omen Transcend 14 in for test yet? I got one last week. All around excellent laptop, but I’m not able to get anywhere near 80w out of the 4070. It maxes out at 50w plus a 15w boost that is very flaky. Mostly it’s locked at 50w. Have you seen the same? Also, the VRR doesn’t work well-no Gsync and there’s very noticeable screen tearing.. which is a bummer bc the otherwise the laptop is quite nice.
Hey Jarrod - love the look of the Asus G16. I'd love to see a benchmark of the 90-115 tgp 4080 model against some of the more performance based 4080's on the market if you get one in :)
Hi, I have a really important question, so if you can answer (or any people who will read this question) it would help me a lot!!! I want to buy a new laptop gaming, I am really hesitating for monthes between a 17,3 (16/9) or a 18 (16/10) inch. for me there are 2 possibilties when we play video games on these 2 ratio: The first one is, the 18" screen is exactly the same that the 17,3" but "less wide" (we can see exactly the same sight, but less wide) so I would prefere the 16/9 ratio, because we can see "more" stuffs on the left and the right part of the screen. The second one is, The 18" screen is the same that the 17,3 inch, as wide as the 17,3 but we can see more stuff on the top and bottom part of the screen. if its this possibility, then I would prefere the 18" screen. Can you please help me? if it's the first or the second possibility when you test the game on the 16/9 and 16/10 ratio screen?
Is 120Hz of the new Titan a better compromise than the new G16's sautered memory? I feel like if it had 240Hz it would be a near-perfect, or at least defnitive top level device
I’ll probably need to downsize to a gaming laptop later this year when I move. Guess I’ll wait and see what prices look like then. Really wish the 4070 models had more vram. Guess I’ll have to stick with the 4080.
Is m18 2024 13980HX with 4090 Nvidia 32gb ram 1tb ssd is good? I hope you review it . I keep updated on your reviews of laptop that's why i bought the budget gaming laptop the tuf f15 . Now i want to upgrade 😅.
please make a review on apples m3 macbook pro 14 with 16gb of ram and put it against all of the other 14 inch laptops that you have. also great video, keep it up!
The other thing I really want to stress.. This is coming from someone who has owned gaming laptops in this order, so you know I have the experience needed to talk about this. 1) Aorus X5V8, GTX 1070m, 8850h, 1080P 2) Alienware M17 R3, RTX 2080S, 10980hk, 1080P 3) Razer 15 advanced 2021, RTX 3070m, 11800H, 1440P 4) Lenovo Legion 7i 2021, RTX 3070m 140w, 11800h, 1600P 5) MSI GT77, RTX 4090m, 13980HX, 4K 4K is so heavy on modern games that the 4090 at 4K/2160P becomes like the 3070 in the Legion at QHD+/1600p. The zinger? You can't see the difference on a laptop screen at normal playing distances, not even remotely. The only time you may notice it is if a game has very poor AA, as 4K has naturally higher AA properties. So I end up playing everything at 1440P anyway and to see a real massive performance difference from the Lenovo. Except, most games needs exclusive full screen to do that, which is a PITA, and some games force 4K borderless no matter what, which is a PITA. 4K on a gaming laptop actually makes ZERO sense whatsoever. 1440P or 1600P is where it's at, whether 15, 17, of 18 inch screen size. A 4080 will do what you need also at that resolution. Don't get a 4070 as 8GB Vram is limiting in 2024. A 4090 is still the best but you WILL be ok with a 4080 at 1600P and under for any game in existence and foreseeable future, for High or Ultra RT 60+ as long as you are willing to use DLSS (you need that with the 4090 too on games like Cyberpunk at 1440P if you want to max out every setting). I never ever go lower than DLSS quality. The other benefit is that many games at 1440P simple DON'T tax the laptop much overall, which makes for a much cooler and quieter experience. That's my honest to goodness advice.. 4K laptops are ridiculously pointless. Razer is updating their 18 to a 4K, and if they don't continue to offer the excellent 1600P panel as an option, that's already a dealbreaker for me (just one example). I have never noticed anything so pointless as 4K laptops. Yes, if you have a 27"+ monitor, THEN you can see the difference between 4K and 1440P.
I went with the new g18 Strix. I really wanted mini led or oled but those models (like the msi titan) are double the price. Can get a desk, oled monitor, mouse and keyboard for the additional money spent
After using gaming rogstrix laptops for last 6 years this year I jump to PC with 4090 and that was best thing I did ever. I dont know why it took me so long.
Big fan of XMG.... Still using a gaming laptop and this small case series. Lol that was a 1080GTX and it served me so well. No idea what a 4070 or 4090 is going to do. Does anyone have an idea whats best if I want to hook the Laptop up to a big Gaming Monitor?
No, we covered it last year and it's basically the same just with 14th gen CPU. That said we have data of the 2024 model on the jarrods.tech site already with Cinebench/battery life/mini LED screen set.
I am currently in China and looking for a gaming laptop to buy. I can find the Legion 5 Ryzen 7 7840H with RTX 4060 with my current budget. but at the same time, I have also found an Asus TX laptop with i7 13 gen and rtx 4060 but with a much better monitor. but I can't find any review for the Asus TX laptop. As far as I know, it is the same Tuf series but rebranded in China.

I can’t wait for your review about new Loq! I hope we’ll see it on Monday!
Hi Jarrod, as my number 1 place for gaming laptop news, what are thoughts on Laptop coolers?
I know it's more gaming adjacent, but would have been helpful to have info about the Framework 16.
We opened ours today, should have a review in a few weeks.
Buying my first gaming laptop but can’t decide. Should I wait for a the new AMD? I do like the MSI Titan but been researching and notice people have experience with MSI brand and issue with intel overheating. Can’t decide what to get 😢
Will the AI FPS Boost from Lenovo come to the 2023 laptops as well?
OLED screens should be a no-no in laptops due to flickering that can cause eye strain
I think the option of having it is good. I had my OLED Razer since 2021 and had no problem with using it.
I just got my acer predator helios neo 16 rtx 4060 version ... Enjoying it .. your reviews helped me a lot. Thankyouu
Hey, I was about to buy that. But that released last year. Should I wait for the newer version or buy the last year model
@@jowelnath5 wait for the new model to release
@@jaiaswath6138 Don't you think that’s gonna be expensive?
Which laptop would you suggest for me? I enjoy playing first-person shooter games like Overwatch and role-playing games like Uncharted and God of War, but I'm not sure which laptop is best for gaming. I currently have a Razer Blade 15 3060 Rtx, but I want to upgrade. I'm not computer savvy, so could you suggest a solid, reasonable gaming laptop?
I’m glad I bought rtx 40 series laptop last year since nvidia is not updating laptop gpu this year I’m in love with my strix g16
Im just looking for a laptop to play single player games and some old classics, not for multiplayer games or anything like that. Any recommendations on something that will have smooth gameplay and smooth graphics ?
Excited for the new LOQ review. The keyboard chassis looked neat lol.
I think that the new MSI 18 inch is probably the biggest update compared to the older GT77.
Hopefully we will see more Oled options later in the year.
Really interesting and very structurized video, thanks!!
What about ASUS x13 and Z13 series in 2024?....really eager to know about them.
As someone who isn't abreast of the latest laptop specs what is the main reason for awaiting thunderbolt 5. Is it mainly faster charging time?
Does it need cooling pad while intensive gaming?
Lessgoooo so excited for predator helios neo 18, most probably will be my new laptop 😁
Trying to decide between the scar 16 and scar 18. Any thoughts?
the main thing that annoys me the most is
a. why till 22 lenovo why one thought about 1440p 16:10 screen options
b. how come is that now at 24 we are seeing oled making an appearance and probably one or two more years for it so everyone would use it
i hate corporations
I want to go big, but im stuck between two laptops. I am definitely going 4080 or 4090, I am stuck between getting the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 4090 for $2900 and the 2024 Rog Strix Scar 16 they just dropped for $2900 as well. I like the features on the Scar more however the only thing holding me back is the overwhelming amounts of their laptops getting coil whine. I couldnt game knowing my components are rattling like that, itd just ruin the experience of it altogether. Just was unsure if the new models limited the coil whine or if its the same as last year
I hope they'll be some sort of refresh for the X16 Flow, or even a flow x18. I'm not even certain I'll be working in the same place in 7-odd months time, so something that is of a jack-of-all-trades in gaming, creativity and reading/writing documents, while having a decent enough battery life is probably better right now than a dedicated gaming rig.
(In the region I'm in, the Flow X16 maxes out at the 4060 model)
Only thing I'd like to get ahold of is that new 400w charger from MSI for my GT77hx 13vi. On discrete mode it constantly triggers the 330w chargers switch. I have just been using my GT76 Titan DT SGS charger to get over the 400w threshold and no more power trips.
I can't wait for you to get your hands on the HP Omen 14 even a versus between the Asus G14 for overall performance, Thermals and Fan Noise.
Which one should i buy 1000-1500 budget
I’ve seen so many of these gaming laptops have black screen of death. I need a gaming laptop because I’ll be traveling internationally and I can’t risk my laptop dying after a month. What do you recommend I go with plz? It seems like nowadays all of them have these black screen death issues
Sir, please help me choose between
I need a more office-like design, but with the ability to play games sometimes.
Usage: 70% of the time - office work, 20% - movies, 10% - games
I have settled on the following models so far
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16IRH8 Misty Gray (82YA00C6RA)
Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16IRH8 Glacier White (82Y30086RA)
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00MHRA)
Does it make sense to pay more and buy a Slim 7 or Pro 5?
If so, which one is better?
Or should I consider other brands and models?
I'll tell you about my experience: I've been playing/working on gaming laptops for almost 10 years. I have had PC Specialist, Asus Rog, Lenovo Legion and Alienware for 4 months. They are all high-performance laptops but I have never found continuity in performance with games. always problems with stuttering, frame drop etc. I'm lucky to be very experienced in knowing where to put my hands on both hardware and software, but I can say that when we say desktop replacement, it's half a lie...
just get a cooling pad, that always works for me lol, or i vertically mount my laptop when its attached to my monitor
@@dooli brother it's already like this
The most awaited video but do you think I should wait for proper core ultra gaming laptops or should I buy the 14 or 13th gen chips?
I still wish Gigabyte would go back on their last refresh of the Aero. The new ones aren't as appealing, especially with limited I/O (USB-C)
predator 18, maxed out is a beautiful monster! totally recommend!
Did you get the Omen Transcend 14 in for test yet? I got one last week. All around excellent laptop, but I’m not able to get anywhere near 80w out of the 4070. It maxes out at 50w plus a 15w boost that is very flaky. Mostly it’s locked at 50w. Have you seen the same? Also, the VRR doesn’t work well-no Gsync and there’s very noticeable screen tearing.. which is a bummer bc the otherwise the laptop is quite nice.
Which ones are looking the best? The Asus Zeyphyrus G Series?
MSI’s design in 2023 was soo bad, they literally redesigned every laptop in 2024 😂
Hey Jarrod - love the look of the Asus G16. I'd love to see a benchmark of the 90-115 tgp 4080 model against some of the more performance based 4080's on the market if you get one in :)
6:13 You're wrong, Framework also didn't mention AI!
We already have the Framework 16 and are under NDA, however we also didn't get an invite from them or know they were at CES until it was too late.
lovin the new Predator logo
My gaming laptop just took a 10% reduction in gaming performance as soon as I found out that RGB trackpads is a thing that it doesn't have. :(
Can you suggest best budget laptops for Machine Learning and AI?
Hi, I have a really important question, so if you can answer (or any people who will read this question) it would help me a lot!!!
I want to buy a new laptop gaming, I am really hesitating for monthes between a 17,3 (16/9) or a 18 (16/10) inch.
for me there are 2 possibilties when we play video games on these 2 ratio:
The first one is, the 18" screen is exactly the same that the 17,3" but "less wide" (we can see exactly the same sight, but less wide) so I would prefere the 16/9 ratio, because we can see "more" stuffs on the left and the right part of the screen.
The second one is, The 18" screen is the same that the 17,3 inch, as wide as the 17,3 but we can see more stuff on the top and bottom part of the screen. if its this possibility, then I would prefere the 18" screen.
Can you please help me? if it's the first or the second possibility when you test the game on the 16/9 and 16/10 ratio screen?
Is 120Hz of the new Titan a better compromise than the new G16's sautered memory? I feel like if it had 240Hz it would be a near-perfect, or at least defnitive top level device
Don't think there's 4K 240Hz mini LED yet, so that's what they settled with
Hey Jarrod, any chance you could update your gaming laptop deals site to have the option to sort by price be enabled?
Unfortunately not with how it's designed currently. You can use the Price drop down to set a price range though.
You are so professional and an excellent popularizer. Thank you for your videos. 🤗
I wish gaming laptops start coming with touch screen options.
Waiting for Qualcomm Elite chips, these are just incremental upgrades at the expense of wattage.
I’ll probably need to downsize to a gaming laptop later this year when I move. Guess I’ll wait and see what prices look like then. Really wish the 4070 models had more vram. Guess I’ll have to stick with the 4080.
question, the last 18 inch laptop i knew about was an alienware many years ago, does every company make them now? are they common these days?>
Honestly the brands which have most success are those whose lineups and naming schemes are more understandable
Fantastic video as always. Do you have any idea when the transcend 14 will be reviewed? I'm am very interested in it, along with the zephryus.
Hoping to get it in February.
@@JarrodsTech Awesome so looking forward to it
Is acer predator helios neo 16 with intel i7 and rtx 4060 still a great choice in 2024?
I am also asking the same question
Yes
Is m18 2024 13980HX with 4090 Nvidia 32gb ram 1tb ssd is good? I hope you review it . I keep updated on your reviews of laptop that's why i bought the budget gaming laptop the tuf f15 . Now i want to upgrade 😅.
The Core Ultra processors are the best for gaming in 2024.
tell me in a nerd way, im currently using a 3 year old 1650 Ti Lenovo.. which one is better now
Thanks - when will the Stealth 18" be released in the UK?
Not sure, most of the time they don't share release timelines for different regions at these events.
please make a review on apples m3 macbook pro 14 with 16gb of ram and put it against all of the other 14 inch laptops that you have. also great video, keep it up!
Are you going to review the nitro 16/17 like you said in the nitro 5 video a while back?
The other thing I really want to stress.. This is coming from someone who has owned gaming laptops in this order, so you know I have the experience needed to talk about this.
1) Aorus X5V8, GTX 1070m, 8850h, 1080P
2) Alienware M17 R3, RTX 2080S, 10980hk, 1080P
3) Razer 15 advanced 2021, RTX 3070m, 11800H, 1440P
4) Lenovo Legion 7i 2021, RTX 3070m 140w, 11800h, 1600P
5) MSI GT77, RTX 4090m, 13980HX, 4K
4K is so heavy on modern games that the 4090 at 4K/2160P becomes like the 3070 in the Legion at QHD+/1600p.
The zinger? You can't see the difference on a laptop screen at normal playing distances, not even remotely. The only time you may notice it is if a game has very poor AA, as 4K has naturally higher AA properties.
So I end up playing everything at 1440P anyway and to see a real massive performance difference from the Lenovo. Except, most games needs exclusive full screen to do that, which is a PITA, and some games force 4K borderless no matter what, which is a PITA.
4K on a gaming laptop actually makes ZERO sense whatsoever.
1440P or 1600P is where it's at, whether 15, 17, of 18 inch screen size.
A 4080 will do what you need also at that resolution. Don't get a 4070 as 8GB Vram is limiting in 2024. A 4090 is still the best but you WILL be ok with a 4080 at 1600P and under for any game in existence and foreseeable future, for High or Ultra RT 60+ as long as you are willing to use DLSS (you need that with the 4090 too on games like Cyberpunk at 1440P if you want to max out every setting). I never ever go lower than DLSS quality.
The other benefit is that many games at 1440P simple DON'T tax the laptop much overall, which makes for a much cooler and quieter experience.
That's my honest to goodness advice.. 4K laptops are ridiculously pointless. Razer is updating their 18 to a 4K, and if they don't continue to offer the excellent 1600P panel as an option, that's already a dealbreaker for me (just one example).
I have never noticed anything so pointless as 4K laptops. Yes, if you have a 27"+ monitor, THEN you can see the difference between 4K and 1440P.
I went with the new g18 Strix. I really wanted mini led or oled but those models (like the msi titan) are double the price. Can get a desk, oled monitor, mouse and keyboard for the additional money spent
titan hx 80 is my target which i buy in i don't know time
idk anything about the gaming laptop space but i really like the omen transcend 14
We are working on a review of that now!
After using gaming rogstrix laptops for last 6 years this year I jump to PC with 4090 and that was best thing I did ever. I dont know why it took me so long.
Hello Jarrod, when are you going to post the video on the new LOQ 2024 model??
Been eagerly waiting for your review...
Cheers✨❣️
It's up now!
th-cam.com/video/5DS_QqyqkHk/w-d-xo.html
Big fan of XMG.... Still using a gaming laptop and this small case series. Lol that was a 1080GTX and it served me so well. No idea what a 4070 or 4090 is going to do.
Does anyone have an idea whats best if I want to hook the Laptop up to a big Gaming Monitor?
today I got omen 16:) 6800h, rtx 3070ti (150w), 1tb, 16gb ram and 2k 165hz. just 950$ does it worth?
I don't mind thick as long as it is light (cyborg 14). I'm glad more laptops coming with AMD x3D chip
is the ASUS ROG STRIX g15 still worth it if I'm not triple a gaming and its my first gaming laptop?
MSI is really trying to take that market share.
Respect.
@JarrodsTech will you be doing a dedicated review for the predator helios 18 (not neo version)??
No, we covered it last year and it's basically the same just with 14th gen CPU. That said we have data of the 2024 model on the jarrods.tech site already with Cinebench/battery life/mini LED screen set.
So, just tell me in what month of 2024 the appearance of new products will reduce the price of Legion Slim 5?😅
What are you opinions on the new PC specialist recoil 17 with the i9 14900hx + 4090??
I am currently in China and looking for a gaming laptop to buy. I can find the Legion 5 Ryzen 7 7840H with RTX 4060 with my current budget. but at the same time, I have also found an Asus TX laptop with i7 13 gen and rtx 4060 but with a much better monitor. but I can't find any review for the Asus TX laptop. As far as I know, it is the same Tuf series but rebranded in China.
