Yep. I have a $250 laptop that has a Ryzen 5 and a FHD IPS Display, and a $1200 Lenovo with a Ryzen 7 and RX6800M D-GPU. But to be fair, the video is just giving a rough idea of some average laptops you can get at those price points, not comparing laptops at those price points. I do kind of wish they'd been a little bit more comparable, or kept the middle two (both of which are more reasonable prices a normal person might spend) within brand, like using the comparable AMD Lenovo Legion instead of MSI's Intel/nVidia version.
@@norfabatonas You're missing the point. None of these laptops are "exactly" some price. However, there are some pretty big jumps along the way that these models miss. In particular, many models adopt at least IPS displays earlier, and the jump to a even a low-end dGPU makes a huge difference as well. In other words, the jumps should really be more by the major features, not necessarily price.
Just a quick note, the downward facing speakers are meant to be used with the laptop on a desk, they should sound much better that way, otherwise they loose some power and bass
I can attest to that,as I use my laptop on my bed which totally muffles the sound. I still think though OEMs should provide front facing speakers on the sides and remove the numpad entirely instead.
@@minion0470 Yeah,but personally I have no use for the numpad,in contrast it takes away valuable real estate when typing and of course leaving no space for side firing speakers.
@Mihir Shetye makes sense, I just have an unnecessary level of frustration whenever I try to enter an alt code and can't. Aparently, Framework has done market research and found a near 50/50 split in people wanting/not wanting numpads.
That is a cheap laptop though. In terms,. of budget, specs and everything. Also kinda weird that is consider 500$ when it should be really 200$. Where I'm from 500$ can get me at least a laptop with a gtx 1660 or rtx 2060.

Celerons perform decently on Linux and I just saw a recent video on Windows install and it took 75% of the storage after the update on 64GB. I can have most of my programs like Kdenlive, Audacity, GIMP, LibreOffice, Transmission, yt-dlp, ffmpeg, Gedit etc. All of these with the Linux install would be 20GB max.
It actually insane especially during the pandemic because my school had to buy like 300 dollars more for then just because they bought many, I suspect that was to actually get them prioritised buy HP, to get them in time for school but still. So the total price for each laptop was like 1200 - 1300 thousand dollars, disclaimer I live in Sweden and we did use programs like Fusion and inventor, blender and other stuff, so we needed the power, but still insane what the school system gives the Swedish high schools to spend, we have a CNC machine, 10 or more 3d printers and a laser cutter.

Hi Arun! Your budget and other mobile reviews are really good. Can you do something like that for laptops? I find your reviews very useful - something like that for laptops would be amazing for students like us who also value the user experience more than just numbers/specs

@@oscar7476you can get a swift X for 800$, it's OP in my opinion. If you can get to 1000$ you can get a better/newer processor with ddr5, a faste SSD...
After watching this video, I bought the GT77HX. I have been using it for 2 months, and It really didn't disappoint me. Among all 4090 laptops I chose this because it itself is equipped with a 4K144Hz Mini-LED screen (I think it a pity if we don't go for 4K with 4090, but I don't want to go for an extra screen). Plus, it is safe. In my country, very few people can recognize this one. For most people this is just a heavy thick $1500- laptop. However, if I went for any Alienware it would be completely different. But I don't think anyone should sacrifice what they really wanted for the jealousy of others. That's not the reason why we buy a high-end laptop. Still, the per-key RGB keyboard is great, and you can customize it using SteelSeries GG. I set the keyboard RGB to respond to keypress by changing the key's color. It's really a nice experience! This laptop is well worth buying for anyone who would need it.
Damm this man is on a grind. Love how you have been pumping videos while still maintaining that high quality standard. Kudos to you and your team arun!
Really clever how you tested the gaming performance with a heavily modded game! It’s a lot more effort but very fun to watch because nothing quite brings a gaming pc to its knees than a lot of texture mods with a hefty enb
The Msi Katana is like you actually using a great pc. Like with that kind of graphics to be playing on it’s sick. I’m considering buying this to upgrade from my own thank you for the great review!
Wow, this video really shows the stark contrast between the cheapest and most expensive laptops in the world. While the expensive laptop definitely has some impressive features, I'm blown away by how well the cheaper option performed in some tests. It's great to see that technology is becoming more accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Thanks for another informative and engaging video
The biggest thing is there really isn't a huge difference between a $2500 and a $7000 laptop. Even 5 years ago, there was a pretty significant performance jump between a premium, a "super premium", and an "ultra premium" laptop. Now the biggest thing you tend to pay extra for is performance in a smaller form factor and even that's better than in the past. Before the last few years you never even really had the option to choose performance in a smaller form factor, if you wanted a smaller form factor you usually got mid-range performance at best.
The Coda is actually an AMAZING DEAL, $70 for 4GB RAM, meaning it will get through most basic life tasks and a decent amount of storage for lightweight indie games and education. The only problem is that it's an Intel Celeron processor, I'd much rather a low-mid range Pentium or an older i3 (specifically pre 10th gen). Most laptops at that range are Chromebooks, super low spec laptops for education, and even at about $120-$200 you'd still probably find a few laptops around the same or slightly better rigs. EDIT: WHY DOES THIS HAVE 100+ LIKES BUT ONLY 1 REPLY?
If you're technical enough, you could also remove the install of windows on the laptop and install a light weight linux distro on it, or if you're really seriously technical, your could also install arch linux to get complete and total control over basically every aspect of your system, which means if set up just right, arch could easily squeeze out all of the performance possible from the hardware. Or you could just install some other distro arch isn't necessary
Man I really like how he sets his work. His presentation and all other stuff like background, text in between and all other effects are top notch. I really try to be like ya'lls team
After watching this video, I can say that my laptop is about between the Lenovo V15 G2 and the MSI Katana GF76. It has a midrange 11th Gen Intel Core i3, a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, not as good as the Katana but definitely better than the Lenovo. Only thing is the battery life absolutely sucks...
@derbrocker1447 he is bigger than Linus? Linus probably has more SAY because of time, but between the two content creators. Mr is bigger. And as a LTT fan, I'd be willing to say that Mr has better quality?
That MSI Katana look like a $500 laptop. I used to have a gaming laptop like this one (price = around $1000) and I hated the weight and look. I then went for the MSI GS65 ($1999) and it was a beautiful thin gaming laptop, but I never gamed on it so I went over to the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 1st gen last year ($1200) and that laptop look like the most premium laptop I've ever owned, it's not as fast when gaming, but the Evo chip makes it feel like the fastest laptop I have ever owned on normal usage like turning on the laptop, internet, youtube etc...
MSI KATANA i got for 900 uk pounds new still got it probably no the best quality materials but inside with i7 12th gen and rtx 3060 its still meeting all my expectations
Not gonna lie, i would a 100% rock that Coda $70 notebook ! Small, lightweight, probably decent battery, would be a great tool for working on the go and taking notes during classes and such.
I can see that Coda one being useful as a something to take travelling. Good enough as a full laptop, cheap so you don't have to worry about what might happen to it.
video idea aside, he did a good job actually reviewing each laptop, like the features, specs and negatives of each. not to mention, the testing. Would love to see more laptop reviews...
Great content as usual 🗽, but would have loved to hear about battery life as well 😮; it's one of the main things most customers look out for in a laptop
@@Sandra-P.713 indeed, when you are planing to buy a lapotop to game you are going to have it plugged all the time anyways so it doesnt really matter alll that much the battery life. also, i think it isnt hard to conclue that a laptop with a i9 and a 4090 isnt going to last 13 hours
@@saucyBot yeah ture, we mostly plug it when use it.. battery it also depends on laptop segment.. ultrabook will last very long, while gaming laptop wont.. so battery isnt that relevant here.. unless we comparing same laptop segment..
As someone who owns an MSI Katana laptop, I can confidently say it’s a VERY good laptop. Sure, it’s nowhere near as flashy as its cousin, the MSI Titan, but it doesn’t need to be and can run games pretty damn well.
Very friendly and informative video! I currently have Lenovo V15 G2 ($500). I'm upgrading to a $2000 laptop, (I don't know now which one, I'm thinking about an Asus ROG Strix 16) which should be better than a $1200 laptop in the video, so it actually made me happy, as I am now sure about the performance gap I will have.
@Arealpersona Yeah and the worst thing is I'm using Linux, so I need to run almost every game with Wine, thus it doesn't even have the same performance as it should :D
Honestly installing something like Linux or chromeOS flex on the 70$ laptop would be a really good idea considering how heavy and resource intensive windows is, something like ubuntu or chrome os will turn that laptop into a decent web browsing and video streaming machine
You can get the same specs for literally under 3k lmao msi is ridiculous
ปีที่แล้ว +6
Arun, the quality and effort you put into your videos has gone through the roof lately. It’s almost ridiculous how content like this is free, and I can’t even imagine what amazing projects you’re going to do in the future!
9:29 I was running a 24.5-inch monitor for a few years but then decided to get a second monitor, a 27-inch. It doesn't sound like a huge difference, but it really is.
Is 24 inch good for gaming? I have a 27" 1440p right now but I don't like gaming in 1080p on it cause it looks bad on a monitor of that size. Would a 24" 1080p monitor be good for playing games on or are they too small
Love videos like this because you can quickly see you rarely need a laptop that's a few thousand dollars. Usually you just get trapped into branding and don't want to admit it
Not really, laptops are usually one time purshase ( once in 5 years or more ), so every dollar you add, you add more future-proofing, the more durable the material, and more it enhances your experience and makes your life easier. Also it depends on your needs, if you want a laptop for basic office stuff then yeah sure get a cheap laptop, but for example i'm a dev and i need every bit of perfomance i can get, i need a long battery life, i need fast network cards, i need a color-accurate screen to see frontend designs ...etc, so it really depends on what you are going to do with the laptop and if it's part of making your living, you wanna make sure you don't cheap out on it. Not to mention if you are into gaming, that will cost even more to have a proper gaming setup. Branding may be a part of it, i mean yeah some brands like apple and dell xps are bit overpriced, but people do not just "get trapped and don't want to admit it", people have different needs for different workflows, and while it may look to you that it's useless to buy an expensive laptop, it's really just about you not having anything computing-heavy to do with it.
@@zedd0462'm studying system engineering and have been looking for a laptop to do/learn coding/programming [front-end with js, back-end with python, SQL] and play some games. I looked at the swift X, It has a nice price for what I saw, 780$...but that 14" screen and 4GB vram 3050 TI are holding me back, and after you said that it's something you want to spend every penny on it, well, I'm just doubting again.
@@eleh1337 for that price it is a good deal, 3050ti will play most games on playable framerates, and esports titles on very high fps. If you want to do AI (model training) in the future that 4GB vram is def going to hold you back, but hey there is google colab so no worries. Make sure to have enough storage because you will definitely need to setup a linux partition for some of your classes.
I actually own MSI ge73. I bought it for 1.8k 5years ago. And it works perfectly fine to this day, apart the almost dead battery and keys getting unstick haha . So, I wanted to say, that laptops tend to limit fps while unplugged. And MSI is actually one of the best firm of making gaming products especially laptops, just because of how strong they are and their lifespan is insane. Had Acer some time ago..after two years gpu fried of PUBG hahah. Although now I use PC, I still dropped my jaw once I saw that Titan!
I have a decade of relationship with my 300$ laptop which my uncle brought from Russia it has became a little weak but I can still play Dark souls 2,Far cry 3,Halo 2, Assassin's Creed 2 etc
In case your wondering it has an Intel core 2 duo T6600, Nvidia GeForce g105M and a 4gb of ram 💀.Inspite of all this weak shit I still love my laptop as a wife
I have the same exact laptop. And I agree, the only issue I had was my WIFI device would sometimes not show up? it stopped happening after a few updates though. I'm probably going to sell my left testicle and buy one of their 4090 18" laptops I travel too much to ever get a desktop as much as I'd like to just blow the same amount of a way more powerful device. perhaps I'll wait for the 5000 series cards before I pull the trigger.
I think for under $500 with games in mind you’d be better off buying used. I bought a 15” 2012 Unibody MacBook Pro, put an SSD and 16GB of RAM in it, and overclocked the display up to 90hz (it could handle 120hz but the GT 650m couldn’t). Runs most games perfectly fine, medium settings works fine in most cases (I have the 512mb VRAM model, pretty sure the 1gb VRAM would be faster) and in some cases beats the performance of my actual gaming machine (which can’t balance background processes for its life) Oh, and get this, the entire package costs $300 Canadian.
I would avoid buying used gaming laptops considering they already got so beaten up by their previous owners on different games. Though, business laptops like thinkpads or macbooks are ok to buy used imo
@@izmif980 I use my MacBook Pro as a gaming machine, and it’s pretty respectable for C$300 and 2012. Wifi cable recently died on me tho, and you WILL need to tinker to keep these older machines alive.
You should've gone for Acer laptops, for 1000$ eq you could get a good Nitro 5, and for 4000$+ you could get a good Predator Helios. I don't know much about warranty and after sales service, but I'm pretty certain that extending the storage capacities does not void the warranty.
Laptops have really came a long way. It went from a portable mini PC to a full on portable desktop replacement. Yes I am aware of the performance difference between Desktop and Laptop of the same spec but the difference is reducing every year. Maybe in a few years the difference will be near 0 and we may also change its parts just like desktop PC which will save a lot of money.
@@frantot1674 yeah. I bought an Acer laptop 🥲 and also with Ryzen Mobile CPU The drivers were unstable. I had a few hardware issues in just a year of use.
I don't like laptops because it's so much harder to fix issues with them. If you have a failed part on a PC, you can buy a replacement part. If you have a failed part on a laptop, you often have to buy an entirely new laptop.
Great video! I would argue though that 500$ is too much for the Lenovo. Specifically for the TN panel + R3 5300U CPU. For 500$ you can get a Ryzen 7 5700U or even newer + IPS panel (and even that is a little bit expensive compared to some budget gaming laptops right now)
For 500$ there is 5600h with 3050 ips lenovo on offer times in US, but a 100$ extra for UK market I think the MSI KATATNA, shares same plastic material and build quality as the 70$ laptop.

1200 to 7000 dollars. Mrwhosetheboss - "100 times more expensive" me: 💀
the first laptop was 70 dollars
Wow, this video really shows the stark contrast between the cheapest and most expensive laptops in the world. While the expensive laptop definitely has some impressive features, I'm blown away by how well the cheaper option performed in some tests. It's great to see that technology is becoming more accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Thanks for another informative and engaging video
Damn yeah even the $70 is enough for a normal person with normal tasks so it's accessible to almost anyone..That's a great perspective that you saw!
Even so, that RTX 4090 is gonna have to run at a fraction of it's full potential if the CPU isn't idle for thermal reasons.
The biggest thing is there really isn't a huge difference between a $2500 and a $7000 laptop. Even 5 years ago, there was a pretty significant performance jump between a premium, a "super premium", and an "ultra premium" laptop. Now the biggest thing you tend to pay extra for is performance in a smaller form factor and even that's better than in the past. Before the last few years you never even really had the option to choose performance in a smaller form factor, if you wanted a smaller form factor you usually got mid-range performance at best.

The Coda is actually an AMAZING DEAL, $70 for 4GB RAM, meaning it will get through most basic life tasks and a decent amount of storage for lightweight indie games and education. The only problem is that it's an Intel Celeron processor, I'd much rather a low-mid range Pentium or an older i3 (specifically pre 10th gen). Most laptops at that range are Chromebooks, super low spec laptops for education, and even at about $120-$200 you'd still probably find a few laptops around the same or slightly better rigs.
EDIT: WHY DOES THIS HAVE 100+ LIKES BUT ONLY 1 REPLY?
It is. I used to have a chromebook which was worse than the coda and costed about 600$. 😅
Lemme fix it!
@@Cornyoneyeah those don’t make sense, especially since they don’t even have to buy a windows license
ok
If you're technical enough, you could also remove the install of windows on the laptop and install a light weight linux distro on it, or if you're really seriously technical, your could also install arch linux to get complete and total control over basically every aspect of your system, which means if set up just right, arch could easily squeeze out all of the performance possible from the hardware. Or you could just install some other distro arch isn't necessary

That MSI Katana look like a $500 laptop. I used to have a gaming laptop like this one (price = around $1000) and I hated the weight and look. I then went for the MSI GS65 ($1999) and it was a beautiful thin gaming laptop, but I never gamed on it so I went over to the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 1st gen last year ($1200) and that laptop look like the most premium laptop I've ever owned, it's not as fast when gaming, but the Evo chip makes it feel like the fastest laptop I have ever owned on normal usage like turning on the laptop, internet, youtube etc...

Love videos like this because you can quickly see you rarely need a laptop that's a few thousand dollars. Usually you just get trapped into branding and don't want to admit it
Not really, laptops are usually one time purshase ( once in 5 years or more ), so every dollar you add, you add more future-proofing, the more durable the material, and more it enhances your experience and makes your life easier.
Also it depends on your needs, if you want a laptop for basic office stuff then yeah sure get a cheap laptop, but for example i'm a dev and i need every bit of perfomance i can get, i need a long battery life, i need fast network cards, i need a color-accurate screen to see frontend designs ...etc, so it really depends on what you are going to do with the laptop and if it's part of making your living, you wanna make sure you don't cheap out on it.
Not to mention if you are into gaming, that will cost even more to have a proper gaming setup.
Branding may be a part of it, i mean yeah some brands like apple and dell xps are bit overpriced, but people do not just "get trapped and don't want to admit it", people have different needs for different workflows, and while it may look to you that it's useless to buy an expensive laptop, it's really just about you not having anything computing-heavy to do with it.

@@eleh1337 for that price it is a good deal, 3050ti will play most games on playable framerates, and esports titles on very high fps.

Use a laptop on a bed, your gpu Will soon be dead
I actually own MSI ge73. I bought it for 1.8k 5years ago. And it works perfectly fine to this day, apart the almost dead battery and keys getting unstick haha . So, I wanted to say, that laptops tend to limit fps while unplugged. And MSI is actually one of the best firm of making gaming products especially laptops, just because of how strong they are and their lifespan is insane. Had Acer some time ago..after two years gpu fried of PUBG hahah. Although now I use PC, I still dropped my jaw once I saw that Titan!

I think for under $500 with games in mind you’d be better off buying used.
I bought a 15” 2012 Unibody MacBook Pro, put an SSD and 16GB of RAM in it, and overclocked the display up to 90hz (it could handle 120hz but the GT 650m couldn’t). Runs most games perfectly fine, medium settings works fine in most cases (I have the 512mb VRAM model, pretty sure the 1gb VRAM would be faster) and in some cases beats the performance of my actual gaming machine (which can’t balance background processes for its life)
Oh, and get this, the entire package costs $300 Canadian.
apart from battery wear, sure.
@@TheExileFox I got a 1gb VRAM model recently, both had original batteries and both were in decent shape.

Laptops have really came a long way. It went from a portable mini PC to a full on portable desktop replacement.

Maybe in a few years the difference will be near 0 and we may also change its parts just like desktop PC which will save a lot of money.

I would argue though that 500$ is too much for the Lenovo. Specifically for the TN panel + R3 5300U CPU. For 500$ you can get a Ryzen 7 5700U or even newer + IPS panel (and even that is a little bit expensive compared to some budget gaming laptops right now)
