      I've been saying for like a year now anything under 17.3" is too small for a grown man. But, I literally returned mine because 1440p is ridiculous. lol, it cost like at least $5k for 4k.

      These 2024 laptops without gsync? Am I missing something? Is it because they are amd based freesync compatible? I found a few with like awesome adaptive optimus and gsync. But, I am assuming that's "an acer thing?"

    Really cool to see these 14" gaming laptops come back from the dead, remember Alienware used to make 13 and even 11 inch gaming laptops in 2010-2012, very interesting time

    • @ctrl_x1770

      The extreme thinning of bezels + lighter yet more powerful hardware probably made it happen. I'm assuming 14" gaming laptops were never niche in the first place, since people who travel a lot and also hope to only buy one laptop for various uses are dime a dozen. But considering the explosive rise of handheld PCs and larger-screen phones, 13" to 11" laptops may not come back for the foreseeable future.

    The Cyborg 14 mostly cuts the right corners and its cheapness resulted in *more* features than much more expensive 14" gaming laptops (replaceable RAM, ethernet port at the back). A Core Ultra or Ryzen version would've been the cherry on top with the much needed battery life and performance.

    This MSI Cyborg looks like a perfect candidate for a VBIOS flash (a VBIOS of 55-60W TDP will be just fine- almost a set and forget mod).

    This is just literally MSI GF Thin series with 'more fragile' (since it's plastic). For 1000$, I'd suggest buy Bravo 15 (that 200$ more cheaper) that has both numbers keyboard and one more fan or it's 15 series with numpads.

    Comprises are minimal even for it's size and price. Major ones include small batteries and single fans while minor includes smaller batteries and probably build but it's fine. I think it's a great yet powerful 14 inch device without breaking the bank. It's probably the most affordable yet portable gaming laptops we had in years that isn't 15"/16" and Razer slim

    Thank you Jarrod. @JarrodsTech I got the Legion Pro 5i and 7i for about the price id get for one give or take with the nicer specs and they both run like life itself you all. I am very pleased. 32 gb ram, rtx 4070 and 4090. I would have gotten the 4060 but the LOQ deals went down before i could get to it leaving just the 5i as a acceptable number two for my daughter.. (shes under 10) so a major upgrade she can probably get 4-5 years out of at her level before high school upgrade. Jarrod knows what he's talking about and you labtop companies.. better sponser this man.. just spent 5000 and it was worth it the moment i seen these videos. i think that's better than ad and commercial advertisement @msi @asus @lenovo @dell @alienware etc. Thank you Lenovo. Will keep can eye out for the 50 series :) and it better not be overpriced because Jarrod will let us know !

      Some people may have need for more power than non-dGPU laptop, but only have the living space for a 14" laptop. For example, I'm a university student who stays in a very tight dorm room, in which a third of the space is the bathroom, and that's when it was empty; and this was an upgrade from my previous dorm, which was even smaller. I certainly would appreciate a laptop at this size more than I would laptops at a larger size, let alone a PC - it's just much more practical for the living space that I do have.

      Probably never, I feel like it's too late. MSI didn't send it over to us last year and I left it too late to justify buying it. Now it's unchanged this year, so don't know if it's worth bothering with.

  • @engrRIDJ

    I own an entry level cyborg 15. I bought it discounted 650 usd which is cheaper than any same spec laptop which range from 800-1000 usd due to taxes here in the Philippines. It is a powerful machine but I'm too worried about the temps due to its single fan design. The temps shows 70°C but the top cover above the keyboard is so hot to touch. My biggest regret with this laptop is the ram & storage thinking 8gb + 512gb is enough. Now I need to upgrade to 16gb + 1tb but it will cost me 150usd and it has a single ssd slot no expansion at all plus If I do it myself my warranty will be voided. I should have bought lenovo or an acer with a ryzen processor. The metal chasis really caught my attention with this laptop and now I regret with my decision. 😂

    Would it be possible to flash the bios to achieve more than 45w on the gpu and use a better power supply to accommodate? Clearly the cooling can handle a little more power and that screen is impressive for the price so it would be a shame to have a poor gpu with a good screen.

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Any laptop can have coil whine, it's normal, usually once the fans are going or you throw on some headphones it does not matter. I do not think coil whine is a valid reason for warranty/exchange. You just roll the dice and waste time to probably end up with the same thing.
