There was a great deal on Best Buy a week or 2 back, an HP Victus with a GTX 1650 + 12th Gen i5 for only $480 or so. There was also a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 5600H and 3050 Ti for a hundred more than the Victus. Personally I bought the Victus because it looks better in my opinion.
I personally got the Lenovo you mentioned! Its important to note that there are a lot of compromises for its MSRP of 900 dollars without a sale (Got it for 550 from best buy on sale).
I would say thats a "good deal"... If at the time of its deal, rtx 3050ti laptops with a 5600h/i5 11400h laptops didn't exist for $50 more. Did you guys not even tune the gaming laptop for further performance increases? Like undervolt the processor or OC + UV the gpu?
Is there any problems with the laptop overheating? I heard there’s only one fan, which doesn’t seem like it would cool well, especially for a gaming laptop.
Looking at the video clearly there is only one fan running in this design, but probably decent enough as MSi has always offered some of the best cooling in the business. The i5/1650gpu will not put out a ton of heat honestly. I have my current MSi which is a i7 8750 w/gtx1060 and it still works perfectly. Do recommend a second stick of RAM and in this a case a larger 2nd SSD. Essentially this may be only $500 but once you get a stick of RAM and a good 2Tb or 4Tb SSD it will end up at around $800-$1000 but worth it
I swear everytime I watch them make a video like this, the product is never the price of what they say it is. I know it can just be different from when they recorded it, but still. It's not $500.
That's most likely because your laptop gpu, pulls 44% of the power a desktop gpu would. I'm guess you have a very slim laptop to have a gpu pull such low wattage. Also integrated GPU's cause a major tank in performance. Some laptop manufacturers allow you to force your laptop to use the discrete graphics card (your 3060) using the bios. You'll have to look up your laptop model on google and see if optimus is an option in your bios. My laptop had the option to disable optimus (disables your Integrated gpu) and performance almost trippled.

@@EmuRust ugh wish I still had the laptop. I looked up a ton of guides and also used Reddit cuz i was new. But I'm remembering absolutely loving an app called ThrottleStop.
@@EmuRust go to power plan and set cpu max state to 99 so it doesnt boost
can somebody tell me what this laptop named?
got one around $903 USD, i7-11800H and RTX3050. (also having a lucky draw when buying GF63 and I got another laptop for free (1st place) MSI Modern 14, got to say its a bargain)
I bought one of those with a rtx 3050 chip for $749 at Walmart and I had to return it, kept freezing up in fortnite, it was using all 8 GB of ram even with lowest settings at 1080p, I literally just returned it yesterday
That's my exact laptop I got it for 200$ at Walmart because they were getting rid of it. it was a 2022 model so it isn't that old.
in the uk that is $832.90usd after conversion (£699gbp)
This was literally my old laptop, you can run games like minecraft smooth 100fps and even with some shaders it's a nice 60fps
Hey! I just bought this laptop from amazon like 10 days ago, great machine tbh. A question, how do you update all the drivers on it? Great video as always guys, thanks!
@realtoastybros scambot alert
I think windows automatically updates them with new updates
But still u could use some apps that scan and update old drivers

i got this a year ago since my pc broke i fixed it but its had nothing but problems so i used this until i had enough for a new pc and now this is my school/work laptop
Should I get it? Or what do y'all recommend me get
if you have a budget of like 800 or up you’d get something better
Just bought it and love it. Getting an external hard drive, but it’s still very nice for the price. Got that Black Friday deal
Yes i did the same thing and I am going to love it aswell.
@@veltheslime god speed
What games can it run 60+ fps on medium - to high settings. does it slow down very fast, how much did it cost and could you tell me or send the link of where you bought it.
@@ImranKhan-jv6kr Walmart Black Friday for 500. World of Warcraft on ultra during raids. Wintergradp which is hundreds of players gotta tone it down but otherwise that and overwatch it’s good
What is a gtx 1650 equal to in vega?
What are temps in the laptop?
Did u guys optimize the laptop before playing games?
I got this a year ago for 700 added a 1tb hard drive and 8gb of ram and it works great
Where do you find that? I want to add it to mine but idk how. I’m new to pc gaming
I watched this video while using the laptop LOL
pretty good and cool laptop for gaming worth checking it out and buying it
Just picked up a Ryzen 7 7735, RTX 4060, 16gb DDR5 ram, for only £1100. Seems decent.
How does this compare to the hp victus 1650 12th gen i5 with a 144Hz screen?
Already over 700 or out of stock
There was a great deal on Best Buy a week or 2 back, an HP Victus with a GTX 1650 + 12th Gen i5 for only $480 or so. There was also a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 5600H and 3050 Ti for a hundred more than the Victus. Personally I bought the Victus because it looks better in my opinion.
I personally got the Lenovo you mentioned! Its important to note that there are a lot of compromises for its MSRP of 900 dollars without a sale (Got it for 550 from best buy on sale).
HP Victus is great for the price.
@Capybara for vr games you should be fine with a 1650 and above, depends on the game and if you are willing to make some compromises
@Capybara should really get a pc to run vr rather then laptops
I got a Asus tuf with a ryzen 7 6800h n a rtx 3050 ti for 699
I just got this laptop, perfect for emulation
Here's the problems with this laptop. 1. The cpu and gpu are overheating. 2. It's literally 700 bucks. So uh...
I would say thats a "good deal"...
If at the time of its deal, rtx 3050ti laptops with a 5600h/i5 11400h laptops didn't exist for $50 more.
Did you guys not even tune the gaming laptop for further performance increases? Like undervolt the processor or OC + UV the gpu?
Is there any problems with the laptop overheating? I heard there’s only one fan, which doesn’t seem like it would cool well, especially for a gaming laptop.
Looking at the video clearly there is only one fan running in this design, but probably decent enough as MSi has always offered some of the best cooling in the business. The i5/1650gpu will not put out a ton of heat honestly. I have my current MSi which is a i7 8750 w/gtx1060 and it still works perfectly. Do recommend a second stick of RAM and in this a case a larger 2nd SSD. Essentially this may be only $500 but once you get a stick of RAM and a good 2Tb or 4Tb SSD it will end up at around $800-$1000 but worth it
@@DogManDan can you tell me about its build quality , specially hinges
I believe this may be the first time ever watching one of your videos where the item was still in stock and at the same price
i have this laptop and its pretty decent for the price is also my first introduction to pc gaming and its satisfying enough also using gaming monitor
Every link to buy this isn't 500. 729 from amazon, cheapest on ebay 629 and out of stock on newegg, no price. 1
I swear everytime I watch them make a video like this, the product is never the price of what they say it is. I know it can just be different from when they recorded it, but still. It's not $500.
This is very true
It was a few days ago on best buy
i bought this exact laptop 2 weeks ago for 500, so idk maybe depends on where you live at
That's crazy even on my 3060(75w) laptop I don't get fps like that because it is very choppy, I definitely get more on apex though.
That's most likely because your laptop gpu, pulls 44% of the power a desktop gpu would. I'm guess you have a very slim laptop to have a gpu pull such low wattage. Also integrated GPU's cause a major tank in performance. Some laptop manufacturers allow you to force your laptop to use the discrete graphics card (your 3060) using the bios. You'll have to look up your laptop model on google and see if optimus is an option in your bios. My laptop had the option to disable optimus (disables your Integrated gpu) and performance almost trippled.
When looking at the specs on MSI's website, they come with different gpu, can you explain why that is the case?
Bought this but with i5 12450H and RTX 2050 and it’s good and I have had no hinge problem because I open it from the middle not the corners
Should I buy this GTX 1650 max q or Msi Bravo 15 ryzen 5
Got this for my ex earlier this year before that she had always used a mac book and she loves this laptop more than her mac book. (mainly got it for her so she could finish her college classes)

Hey I got a question I’m going to buy asus L510 is worth it to buy for gaming ?
hey man i’ve been trying to find a good gaming laptop for christmas where can i get this at?
edit: nvm i found it thanks!!
I bought my 2050 variant for about 543 $ usd
For £749 not sure us you can get a 3050ti i9 i think and has a 144 hertz screen and its thin and LAN/ethernet cable
The laptop is the acer nitro 5 2020 eddition
Is this worth it
Yes, you can get it for 479.99$
Before the video : 500$
After the video : 750$
I’m about to buy this laptop is it worth it? I want to play games like Rust, cod, CSGO, squad, Apex and few other games will I have any problems?
nah ur fine
@@andlmao4950 sweet mate 👌
Is it good for playing vr games like steam with the quest 2?? I want a cheap laptop that can run games like hitman 3 and half life lol I love my quest 2 but ik there's some awesome games for pc that I really want to play.
I had that, my first laptop. It wouldn't open after a week of using it while there were no viruses or no broken pieces.
it was prolly deformed , happens sometimes, better to go switch it

Hoping to have a laptop for my thesis as a Computer Science Student
Looking for a basic ($500) gaming laptop for my 12 year old son. He doesn’t really play FPS or sports games so this might do the job. What do you guys think?
Its pretty good, especially that he doesnt play heavy demanding title games, its a pretty good laptop for its price.
What do you use to pull up your fps and ram on the top left
I thought about buying this but said no, and then your review came out. Thanks
So would this be good for playing VR games? And is there a better one that is cheaper or is this the best one?
Just got mine two days ago. It does meet the minimum requirements for vr gaming
@@brandon1997old what about via an external monitor?
I'd love to see how No Man's Sky runs on this thing. Because that game really seem to demand a LOT of power. It runs pretty bad on a Asus ROG GR6 for example.
i have msi gf 63 i5 9th gen . NO ISSUES TILL NOW
Interestingly enough, I have this laptop and it's been great so far. I can run many games on medium settings on it. =3
Can u run fifa 23? Thanks 😄
@@novicazajkovic3897 obviously you can. fifa is never a demanding title

@@Rsdsgs Nah. Sorry. Not a fan of COD. =/
@@LaTaleFanatic4Life cool just wanted to see cuz cod games are more demanding on the cpu
You should review the MSI GV15
How else have problem with touchpad? what's your problem?
Hopefully getting this but with a i5-10400H GTX 1650 8gb ram 256gb sdd, not sure about the display rate yet
There’s a German company that has a laptop with an rtx 3060 for €699 (I bought it at €899 a few months ago), it’s honestly great but only the battery is horrible
Much love for the msi gf63❤
I got something similar. Similar as in they are both under $800. I got the Lenovo gaming idea pad 3.
The more I watch their videos the more I realize I just need to buy a desktop if I want to run anything on high😂
Well you shoud not buy a laptop if you want to do any serious gameing 😁
@@martinlinden4129 we travel a lot for work so a desktop is a bit more difficult. And I’m not talking max it out either lol. But I don’t want to have to play everything on low😂
just buy a more powerful one laptop 😂👍 my friend built his pc same price as my laptop and still my laptop out performs his desktop in every game 😂👍
laptops with 3050 or higher should run high settings on most games fine of course i dont know much but ive been researching for quite a while now
I have a desktop but a laptop would serve me much better even if I play on low settings. I’m thinking of selling my desktop and downgrading to a Lenovo legion 5 😂 I just hope I don’t regret it.
I have i5 10500h rtx 3050ti 16gb ram 512 ssd nvme over a year now still great for 850$
