Where are all ( if any) the AMD Advantage Laptops ? I haven't watched any of Jerrods Tech videos for almost a year now because of the lack AMD laptops the last year or 2, unfortunately. I know AMD has fallen behind in getting orders from OEMs for its, all-AMD, GPU and CPU laptops. However, it would be a good idea to at least try and test some against the other combos out there to see where AMD stands in its price to performance. I love competition, and it's the reason why I only buy and support AMD, as I don't want to ever see Intel have a monopoly on cpus again with crazy premium pricing on small gains, the way nvidia has the monopoly on laptop gpus now. Most people dont pay attention too, or remember, how prices can often be highly inflated by a company with this much market share. I, like many, still think it's important to promote the little guy (AMD). Competition, more often than not, helps every consumer and is easier on the wallet for everybody... ;). If your reading this Jerrod, please put, AMD laptop GPU testing in the title, or to that effect, so those of us who are researching and love, all AMD laptops can easily find and thumbs up your video. Always appreciated your time and detail from the last time AMD had a flagship laptop, tho that seems like it was 2 or 3 years ago....sigh.
This is a masterclass of laptop reviewing! Fantastic job. We learnt things :) One little add: The G14 has a slight high pitched sound to its fan noise. I believe this is to do with airflow to the 3rd internal fan. So even though the G14's fan noise volume can be made simliar to Transcend, folks who are super sensitive to fan noise may find the Transcend's fan noise better due to that.
Hey thanks! I don't remember that with the G14, but also maybe it's just my ears. I need some sort of tool for objectively measuring pitch but need to look into that.
This is not entirely true for all units. I'm super super super sensitive to it and my g14 is perfect. Yes there's something very very very little noticable but coming from a few alienware laptops, it's nothing compared to those.
@@aliginthahouse1 Good to hear. We have 2 units of the G14 and it happened on both of ours. I think though that an update from Asus makes the 3rd fan run less and therefore makes it not as obvious as it was.
@@JustJoshTech That's nice for those that are experiencing issues, however it's also possible to do this with G Helper, anyone who is sensitive to any high pitch noise from that little fan at high rpm can easily decrease the speed. But you're right. It's always Asus and Alienware's that somehow end up with high pitch fans. I've never experienced this with the lenovo legion line up, their fans always have been great to my ears
@@JustJoshTech Also mate, keep up the good work bro. Love your content and honest opinions always, wether sponsored or not! You are together with Jarrod one of the few reviewers that don't sugarcoat things
I have the lower spec HP Omen 14 with 4060, 16gb ram, a 1 tb ssd. In all, I have been happy with it. Like you said, Eco mode is slow but if you are doing productivity work with documents and web browsing, it is worth the trade off for more battery. I actually only use balanced mode (limiting gpu to 50watts) for gaming. I choose to lower the resolution to 1920x1200 and use Reshade with Pascal's Launchpad and Clarity for upscaling and sharpening. Even in games with relatively poor performance like Helldivers 2, it still works quite well with a very rare stutter here and there. Now if Best Buy had the Zephyrus G14 2024 at the time, I would have bought that, but I haven't found this laptop disappointing and I've enjoyed away-from-home work and gaming on it.
I don't really understand why the screen wobble couldn't be fixed, especially considering the fact that the Legion Slim 5 (14"), although a bit bigger, has GREAT hinges
the real problem for daily work is that mirror like screen. I had one and it was a pain to work on in during the day. You could see whole world behind you. Especially in dark mode.
In the US its the same price as the g14 when not on sale, but its pretty decent imo when on sale especially if you want full USB c charging. Hope next year they can push to 180w total as it seems like the laptop is limited by the usb c power delivery instead of temperature
Wow, this review was so eye opening. No other review of this laptop puts it up against so many others in this many gaming benchmarks. So, a lot of those other reviews say that despite the lower power to the gpu, this device performs nearly as well as a full powered 4070, due to how efficient the 4070 is. Well.....that clearly is not the case. Maybe those other reviews are comparing against 4070 machines running in a lower performance profile, or the results were just cherry picked so that this laptop reflected better performance than it actually gets (specifically the gpu; the cpu seems completely fine of course). Thanks for making this video, JT. Have a great weekend man.
Great video Jarrod! Seeing the price of this, I’d spend a little more and purchase the Zephryus G14 2024 instead. That OLED screen is too hard to resist, along with amazing sounding speakers and the higher TGP of the RTX 4070 gives a better gaming experience. Plus with a laptop that is extremely well built (MacBook level) feels like you’re getting more for your money
Great review. But if possible, can you also add n key rollover test during keyboard typing test you usually do? For the MMO or rythm gamers or the godly fast office typist that watch your video. There are some websites that can test multiple key presses and check for ghosting so it should be easy enough
YES YES YES, they have this problem, even ufd tech talked about it, now is the worst time to buy an Intel cpu, the heat the high failure rate the tdp everything is worse than amd's counterpart.
So these lower TDP 4070 GPUs would be like a 4050se GPU if that was a thing. TBH I don't think that's too bad since it is having to fit in a small chasse. I had this laptop and loved it but ended up switching to a ROG flow x13 and happy I did. Yea it has the same lower watt GPU but I love the 2 in 1 form factor and the keyboard/touchpad are just as good, if not better. Also it was cheaper at $1800.00 since it was open box. My config is the 4070 GPU/32GB ram/2TB SSD/Ryzen 9 7940HS
I hate the light that turns on in the F5 key when the volume is muted. As this is how I keep my laptop speakers most of the time, this would drive me absolutely up a wall.
Finally, i was waiting for this. And you also have per key rgb model Altho i already bought one as i really needed one and couldnt wait more and i really liked it, my first laptop tho so i cant compare or judge but its good. But while opening the lid or screen, their come a gap or space between screen and body in the middle (seems like the screen will come out), i saw many people noticing it in review videos. Jarrod sir is that the same for you?
The question really is how much more you value portability and how much you actually plan on playing while using the laptop monitor. 15/16 inch are usually the entry level gaming laptops that focus on that aspect, 17/18 is the upper level for those that would prefer a larger screen (but otherwise same hardware). 14 inch is more often focused on better portability, better battery power etc. One thing to keep in mind, the smaller the frame becomes the less room they have for upgradeability, cooling solutions and battery size. If you want to actually game on a laptop (and not use an external monitor for the most part) you should go with 15/16 inch at the least and even consider upgrading to 17/18. If you plan on using an external monitor more often and want a better portability than 14" might be better for you BUT you better check out some reviews about the specific model to actually get the model that offers the performance you want.
Can you please do testing of how performance changes when simply lifting the laptop's rear? Just did a quick test on my 2019 omen and the difference was huge. Maybe even test how well the charging brick works for that
This is why I got the RTX 4060 instead of the 4070 variant. I got it from Bestbuy so unfortunately no headset but I already had my Crusher Evo’s so yeah, love the laptop. It heats a bit too much for comfort when I push it to the limit like Raytracing in Fortnite or MSFS 2020 with each setting put to max instead of the max preset. Performs well at 1200p. It gives me around 5 hours with the GPU disabled and at eco settings and keyboard lighting off. The laptop was perfectly usable at those settings. 5 hours was perfect for my use case scenario so I’m happy with my purchase. Thanks a lot for the review!
@@starleo30 As for overheating, as long as you keep it slightly elevated and on a solid surface, you’ll be good with the auto fan settings. Also don’t forget to give the intakes a light brush and blow weekly (with the laptop drained and unplugged to be safe). As for issues, I’d say yes, it’s got a few compatibility issues here and there like my flight sims crashing randomly even tho it being rare. As for games like GOWR or Black Myth Wukong, it’s very stable and doesn’t crash. Yes, it is very portable, it’s almost as thin as a MacBook Pro (just 0.2cm more) and also it’s not bulky. If you want it for office work tho then I’d suggest you take a 100W GaN charger with you since it’ll last you 5 hours when you probably work for 8 hours. (Remember that it has an x86 processor and not an ARM one so it will still consume a good chunk of your battery on idle). It’s wonderful for gaming (plugged in ofc). The OLED panel makes games look so much better and even if you can’t game at 3K resolution with max graphics, 1200p looks wonderful on the 14 inch screen and couple that with a refresh rate of 120Hz and you’ve got everything you need for the perfect gaming experience. Now to the stats, It gives me a solid 60FPS in Black Myth Wukong at Maxed Graphics, RT off and DLSS Q + FG at 1200p, you might be able to sneak in a bit of RT but I keep it off since it looks good even before RT. Flight Simulator 2020 runs at 60FPS with Maxed out settings at 1200p is you turn on DLSS Q + FG however it stutters a lot due to the RAM in my model which is only 16GB. It plays Esports games like CSGO and Fortnite at 120FPS with competitive settings at 3K if you use DLSS. Black Ops 6 runs at 100FPS at 1200p with Maxed settings if you use DLSS P. On a side note, I’d suggest you get 32GB for flight sims, otherwise, you’re Good!
Hey Jarrod watching your videos from India , hey can you pls past videos about and gaming laptops without igpu about their batterylife and other performance
Have you reviewed the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i? I ordered it because it was on sale, I got to sample it at Best Buy and was really nice to use but I'm not sure if I made a bad decision
11:53 THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT I've seen too many reviews praising this computer for its temps and fan noise and completely blowing past the lack of the performance and the fact that, with lower performance modes, you can get similar results in other computers. Other computers that, if you want to, you can still push harder to get more frames and better performance.
Thank you for the review @Jarrod I noticed that despite the absence of a mux switch, the device connects via HDMI to the NVIDIA RTX 4070. Could you provide insights into its performance and latency under HDMI connection? Additionally, I'm considering the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i with similar specifications but equipped with the RTX 4050. How does its performance compare to the HP Omen 14? Awaiting response Thankyou
This laptop really leaves me scratching my head… like it’s kinda cool but just so many tradeoffs. The G14 being lighter and having a better feature set/more performance has me wondering who this was made for. Unless you found it dirt cheap somehow I guess.
@@icyspace0 yes, I had OWN both, g14 is better in any terms and you cant make anything up from G14 being bad, beside bringing up the customer service (in Vietnam they are lightning fast)
Jarrod's Tech I need a clear answer if you can . When it comes to laptop reviews you are the best and you seems very capable at you work. I have bought recently an acer nitro 5 2023 model . Intel core i7 12650h with nvidia rtx 4060 140 w. Acer nitro 5 An515 58. The temperatures now on summer are high and the cpu reached temp 90- 100°C when gaming. I searched on TH-cam and not only how to lowerd the temps. I found a solution in the registry about ' processor performance boost ' to show up form hidden setting. From there I disabled the turbo boost for aggressive to disable. The temperature of the cpu now is sitting around 70 °C and the performance is more than ok for gaming. The maximum clock goes 2.2 GHz now never beyond that. Now since this laptop has a locked cpu and this setting was hidden in the registry is it safe to keep it that way? Does this damage the cpu or motherboard or other components in the long run ? Have a nice day !!
this isnt the first time hp downclocked thier laptops on purpose because the laptop i have as a 1135g7 locked at 20 watts and no way to increase it even tho my temperatures are on 60 degrees at worst case load but through bios mods and a lot of struggles i managed to get it upto 40 giving me a 70% performance boost
HP should have let the GPU take more power and created a default power profile with its current state in mind (so 90 watts base with a higher power budget at higher performance settings). Let customers choose how performant but how and loud their computer gets. I think this is a good first-gen product. It's not as polished as the G14, which has been steadily improved over the past few years. I have high hopes for the next generation of this laptop.
HP should have gone with AMD, the amd cpu's run perfectly at literally 9W power during gaming while the intel one needs atleast 20W to function normally and uses more around 30 while gaming. Intel is literally crippling the potential of these tiny gaming laptops, idc they came up with their new ultra line up, it's still shit as ever. if HP went hp they would have had 20W headroom to bump up that GPU to bring it at the same level as the g14. I've had the G14 with AMD and now I got the G16 with Intel and it's insane how cool the amd was and insane how quickly the intel cpu on the g16 runs up to 95 degrees of celcius and 70+ while browsing normal stuff. The amd cpu sits around 60 degrees while gaming
I had this issue in the second month and HP replaced the screen completely. I was so annoyed as this is a expensive laptop, but so far the issue didn’t happen again
I think my Acer Predator 14 that I only just bought with a 13700H and 4070 is still superior with a 105W TGP for a 14 inch laptop which was respectable and that was the model you've been after but cannot get it oddly. Not so much if yours was like 60W.
Please make a video about the report form alderon games saying that the 14th and 13th gen raptor lake called i9 CPUs are having the saving crash issues as the desktops
15:46 From my experience, its either OMEN GH or Nvidia Driver But mostly is issue with OMEN GH and its SDK Last few performance issue was fix by completely uninstall Omen GH and SDK But these lately performance issue with Nvidia driver (rollback driver fix issues) I am using HP Victus 15 from early 2023 Anyway, suggestion to do Illano V12 Cooler review please? :D
Yeah never getting the Asus G14 though. Previous Asus laptops I've seen other users have their Plastic Meld together with the Asus G14 since the heat is so concentrated at one spot. Even looking at your stress tests the HP Omen 14 is more spread out on it's heat so it is not concentrated on one spot. Sure the HP omen transcend can have lower speeds on it's gpu, but it's worth it for it not breaking.
Hey Jarrod, could you shed any light on the Legion Pro 7i battery drain issue, where allegedly when running at max CPU + GPU workload, the included smaller-sized 330W GaN charger simply cannot provide enough power to the laptop. Resulting in heavy battery depletion even while plugged in (up to 10% an hour) and consequently a very short battery life.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the info. Thoughts on upgrading from i7-11800H / RTX 3070 to i9-13900HX / RTX 4080 at this point in time? Or better wait til 5000 series GPU with 15th gen CPU? I found the bottleneck in games is mostly my CPU. Seems like the 11800H just can't keep up with what the 3070@130W is able to provide.
Jarrod we love your content! I was hoping you could help me decide between my two options for my new gaming laptop! :p 1.-Acer Helios 16 (2024) $1049 Intel i7-13700HX, RTX 4060 2.-Acer Helios Neo 16 (2024) $1199 Intel i9-14700HX, RTX 4060 Both with 16gb ram, 1 TB SSD, I hope you can help me! ❤
My max budget is 400 man AND THE IMPORT TAXES HERE ARE SO HIGH AND STUPID THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT TO GET A PC OR A LAPTOP THAT WOULD BE WORTH 400$ MAN LIKE WTF
The lowest priced Zephyrus is £2400 in the UK. I don't think the 4070 model of the HP is worth it especially because of the power handicap. I own an HP refurbished (basically brand new) ceramic white version of the Omen 14, 4060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Core Ultra 7 model and it cost £1230. And HP have superb warranty policy and return times. 1 week. The gaming performance hit is acceptable for me, when I save this much money. The white one is gorgeous and isn't a MacBook clone like the Zephyrus.
I was able to play with one of these at a local bestbuy. . .and the screen wobble made it feel cheap. Honestly if it didn't have that I could have seen myself getting one of these. But ended up with the 2023 G14 instead. Not as small but way more powerful. HP is on to something, but they really need to match the price and quality of the machine. It's just over priced for what it is.
Hi Jarrod i saw this laptop in the uk for £599 and was wondering if it's a good deal Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 16" - AMD Ryzen 5 - RTX 3050 4GB - 16GB ram - 512GB ssd

To be fair the G14 is similar, might just not be able to tighten the hinge enough in these smaller devices in order to have easy lid opening.

What are your thoughts about modern day soldered ram reliability wise compared to the fears of it in the past?
after testing 14" laptops would you say their good for gaming or would getting a 15/16" better?
Bigger laptop means more power . So yeah better for gaming
The question really is how much more you value portability and how much you actually plan on playing while using the laptop monitor.
15/16 inch are usually the entry level gaming laptops that focus on that aspect, 17/18 is the upper level for those that would prefer a larger screen (but otherwise same hardware).
14 inch is more often focused on better portability, better battery power etc.
One thing to keep in mind, the smaller the frame becomes the less room they have for upgradeability, cooling solutions and battery size.
If you want to actually game on a laptop (and not use an external monitor for the most part) you should go with 15/16 inch at the least and even consider upgrading to 17/18. If you plan on using an external monitor more often and want a better portability than 14" might be better for you BUT you better check out some reviews about the specific model to actually get the model that offers the performance you want.
Can you please do testing of how performance changes when simply lifting the laptop's rear? Just did a quick test on my 2019 omen and the difference was huge.
Maybe even test how well the charging brick works for that
What is the difference between omen 14 and 16?
Always great videos! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Can you check the omen 16 too?
Thanks for the video bro, but can you please review the msi katana 15 please
Prefer the Triton 14 with 105w 4070 and ~600euro cheaper in price, though with last gen CPU.
Make a video on Lenovo loq gen 9 with ryzen 7 8845hs and Rtx 4060
This is why I got the RTX 4060 instead of the 4070 variant. I got it from Bestbuy so unfortunately no headset but I already had my Crusher Evo’s so yeah, love the laptop. It heats a bit too much for comfort when I push it to the limit like Raytracing in Fortnite or MSFS 2020 with each setting put to max instead of the max preset. Performs well at 1200p. It gives me around 5 hours with the GPU disabled and at eco settings and keyboard lighting off. The laptop was perfectly usable at those settings. 5 hours was perfect for my use case scenario so I’m happy with my purchase. Thanks a lot for the review!
Does it overheat while gaming or any other issues you found? As a whole is it good for portability and office work and gaming too?
@@starleo30 As for overheating, as long as you keep it slightly elevated and on a solid surface, you’ll be good with the auto fan settings. Also don’t forget to give the intakes a light brush and blow weekly (with the laptop drained and unplugged to be safe). As for issues, I’d say yes, it’s got a few compatibility issues here and there like my flight sims crashing randomly even tho it being rare. As for games like GOWR or Black Myth Wukong, it’s very stable and doesn’t crash. Yes, it is very portable, it’s almost as thin as a MacBook Pro (just 0.2cm more) and also it’s not bulky. If you want it for office work tho then I’d suggest you take a 100W GaN charger with you since it’ll last you 5 hours when you probably work for 8 hours. (Remember that it has an x86 processor and not an ARM one so it will still consume a good chunk of your battery on idle). It’s wonderful for gaming (plugged in ofc). The OLED panel makes games look so much better and even if you can’t game at 3K resolution with max graphics, 1200p looks wonderful on the 14 inch screen and couple that with a refresh rate of 120Hz and you’ve got everything you need for the perfect gaming experience. Now to the stats, It gives me a solid 60FPS in Black Myth Wukong at Maxed Graphics, RT off and DLSS Q + FG at 1200p, you might be able to sneak in a bit of RT but I keep it off since it looks good even before RT. Flight Simulator 2020 runs at 60FPS with Maxed out settings at 1200p is you turn on DLSS Q + FG however it stutters a lot due to the RAM in my model which is only 16GB. It plays Esports games like CSGO and Fortnite at 120FPS with competitive settings at 3K if you use DLSS. Black Ops 6 runs at 100FPS at 1200p with Maxed settings if you use DLSS P. On a side note, I’d suggest you get 32GB for flight sims, otherwise, you’re Good!
Dear Jarrod
You're the best in this field (laptop review)
Keep going strong 💪 ❤️
ok i will keep going strong 💪
I own hp omen 16.1 4080 rtx i9 14gen 32GB and it's a dream
How do you feel about deals on used laptops, like Lenovo’s outlet and Best Buy’s outlet. Not worth the risk/ to good to be true?
Hey Jarrod watching your videos from India , hey can you pls past videos about and gaming laptops without igpu about their batterylife and other performance
This laptop seems perfect for non-gamers.
I've been looking for a lightweight laptop with a nice screen and powerful cpu
please review the Asus TUF A14 soon!
Plan on it once we're able to get a hold of it.
Have you reviewed the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i? I ordered it because it was on sale, I got to sample it at Best Buy and was really nice to use but I'm not sure if I made a bad decision
11:53 THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT I've seen too many reviews praising this computer for its temps and fan noise and completely blowing past the lack of the performance and the fact that, with lower performance modes, you can get similar results in other computers. Other computers that, if you want to, you can still push harder to get more frames and better performance.
Is this laptop can be used for molecular dynamics simulations?
Thank you for the review @Jarrod
I noticed that despite the absence of a mux switch, the device connects via HDMI to the NVIDIA RTX 4070. Could you provide insights into its performance and latency under HDMI connection? Additionally, I'm considering the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i with similar specifications but equipped with the RTX 4050. How does its performance compare to the HP Omen 14?
Awaiting response
Thankyou
Got a G14 2023 with 4080 for second hand still under warranty for 2k€, no regrets seeing the prices for the 14"s these days 🫠
2024 gaming laptop ranking please!
This laptop really leaves me scratching my head… like it’s kinda cool but just so many tradeoffs. The G14 being lighter and having a better feature set/more performance has me wondering who this was made for. Unless you found it dirt cheap somehow I guess.
HP: Lets make a G14, but bad!
do you even own a g14? :D i have both, g14 sucks
@@icyspace0 yes, I had OWN both, g14 is better in any terms and you cant make anything up from G14 being bad, beside bringing up the customer service (in Vietnam they are lightning fast)
@@amelyatech lmao fanboy á ú , sợ vl
That is one of the best looking laptops i have ever seen.
Any chance we'll see the 2024 G16? If not the Intel one, maybe the AMD ones coming out?
Jarrod's Tech I need a clear answer if you can . When it comes to laptop reviews you are the best and you seems very capable at you work. I have bought recently an acer nitro 5 2023 model . Intel core i7 12650h with nvidia rtx 4060 140 w. Acer nitro 5 An515 58. The temperatures now on summer are high and the cpu reached temp 90- 100°C when gaming. I searched on TH-cam and not only how to lowerd the temps. I found a solution in the registry about ' processor performance boost ' to show up form hidden setting. From there I disabled the turbo boost for aggressive to disable. The temperature of the cpu now is sitting around 70 °C and the performance is more than ok for gaming. The maximum clock goes 2.2 GHz now never beyond that. Now since this laptop has a locked cpu and this setting was hidden in the registry is it safe to keep it that way? Does this damage the cpu or motherboard or other components in the long run ? Have a nice day !!
this isnt the first time hp downclocked thier laptops on purpose because the laptop i have as a 1135g7 locked at 20 watts and no way to increase it even tho my temperatures are on 60 degrees at worst case load but through bios mods and a lot of struggles i managed to get it upto 40 giving me a 70% performance boost
HP should have let the GPU take more power and created a default power profile with its current state in mind (so 90 watts base with a higher power budget at higher performance settings). Let customers choose how performant but how and loud their computer gets.
I think this is a good first-gen product. It's not as polished as the G14, which has been steadily improved over the past few years. I have high hopes for the next generation of this laptop.
HP should have gone with AMD, the amd cpu's run perfectly at literally 9W power during gaming while the intel one needs atleast 20W to function normally and uses more around 30 while gaming. Intel is literally crippling the potential of these tiny gaming laptops, idc they came up with their new ultra line up, it's still shit as ever. if HP went hp they would have had 20W headroom to bump up that GPU to bring it at the same level as the g14. I've had the G14 with AMD and now I got the G16 with Intel and it's insane how cool the amd was and insane how quickly the intel cpu on the g16 runs up to 95 degrees of celcius and 70+ while browsing normal stuff. The amd cpu sits around 60 degrees while gaming
Can I pair this with the GPU accelerator from HP or an external GPU from another brand?
I was considering this unit but there seems to be a problem with the screen separating from the lid - any information on that?
I had this issue in the second month and HP replaced the screen completely. I was so annoyed as this is a expensive laptop, but so far the issue didn’t happen again
I think my Acer Predator 14 that I only just bought with a 13700H and 4070 is still superior with a 105W TGP for a 14 inch laptop which was respectable and that was the model you've been after but cannot get it oddly. Not so much if yours was like 60W.
I got the Hp Victus rtx 4050 amd r5 8000 series hs for 530 from your deals thank you. Can you do a review on that one?
You are life saver❤
i wonder if there's performance boost if we pair this with the lenovo C170 170W gan charger with and flash a higher wattage vbios
Please make a video about the report form alderon games saying that the 14th and 13th gen raptor lake called i9 CPUs are having the saving crash issues as the desktops
The wifi can be replaced
Not soldered but you need to clean the heatsink
How does Apple do it with minimal wobble on their 14” MBP? I want this HP but the wobble is too much for me.😊
Nice laptop but...I can't ever trade off upgradeable parts
15:46 From my experience, its either OMEN GH or Nvidia Driver
But mostly is issue with OMEN GH and its SDK
Last few performance issue was fix by completely uninstall Omen GH and SDK
But these lately performance issue with Nvidia driver (rollback driver fix issues)
I am using HP Victus 15 from early 2023
Anyway, suggestion to do Illano V12 Cooler review please? :D
HDMI with Gsync??? Isn't that a technology exclusive of Display Port?
HP is the king of limitation in all series😂😂😂
Which camera do you use for recording jar?
You can find everything we use for filming here: geni.us/JarrodsStudio
Yeah never getting the Asus G14 though. Previous Asus laptops I've seen other users have their Plastic Meld together with the Asus G14 since the heat is so concentrated at one spot. Even looking at your stress tests the HP Omen 14 is more spread out on it's heat so it is not concentrated on one spot. Sure the HP omen transcend can have lower speeds on it's gpu, but it's worth it for it not breaking.
Yeah i wasn't a fan of this one. Opening the charger alone was my first sign....
I love my Omen 17.
Do you recommend buying an older G14 model with upgradeable ram or one of the newer 2024 Lenovo LOQs?
Older g14
In Poland its cheaper than the G14... Right now its 2750 USD for 32gb 4070 while the G14 32gb 4070 is 3500 USD...
in my country the g14 is an extra 300usd :( my only options are the asus tuf a14 (rtx 4050) and the omen 14 with the 4060.
I got this one for 1299, is that a good deal
MSI Raider GE68HX, RTX 4070. 2024?
G14 or Lenovo legion 14?
Hey Jarrod, could you shed any light on the Legion Pro 7i battery drain issue, where allegedly when running at max CPU + GPU workload, the included smaller-sized 330W GaN charger simply cannot provide enough power to the laptop. Resulting in heavy battery depletion even while plugged in (up to 10% an hour) and consequently a very short battery life.
I did not experience battery drain with our Pro 7i, only with the non pro version which had a smaller battery.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks for the info.
Thoughts on upgrading from i7-11800H / RTX 3070 to i9-13900HX / RTX 4080 at this point in time? Or better wait til 5000 series GPU with 15th gen CPU?
I found the bottleneck in games is mostly my CPU. Seems like the 11800H just can't keep up with what the 3070@130W is able to provide.
Jarrod we love your content! I was hoping you could help me decide between my two options for my new gaming laptop! :p
1.-Acer Helios 16 (2024) $1049
Intel i7-13700HX, RTX 4060
2.-Acer Helios Neo 16 (2024) $1199
Intel i9-14700HX, RTX 4060
Both with 16gb ram, 1 TB SSD,
I hope you can help me! ❤
How about HP Omen 16 2024 rtx 4060 so you review that unit?
My max budget is 400 man AND THE IMPORT TAXES HERE ARE SO HIGH AND STUPID THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY DOUBLE THE AMOUNT TO GET A PC OR A LAPTOP THAT WOULD BE WORTH 400$ MAN LIKE WTF
Is there any laptop with i5 14th gen + RTX 4060+ ?
can you make a video of Hp Omen Transcend 16 Oled 4070? It has very good device and has good price in Southeast Asia
No sorry, it took like 7 months just to get this one :( and given I can't really recommend it, doesn't make sense to spend more time on this model.
60w??
The lowest priced Zephyrus is £2400 in the UK. I don't think the 4070 model of the HP is worth it especially because of the power handicap. I own an HP refurbished (basically brand new) ceramic white version of the Omen 14, 4060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Core Ultra 7 model and it cost £1230. And HP have superb warranty policy and return times. 1 week. The gaming performance hit is acceptable for me, when I save this much money. The white one is gorgeous and isn't a MacBook clone like the Zephyrus.
I was able to play with one of these at a local bestbuy. . .and the screen wobble made it feel cheap. Honestly if it didn't have that I could have seen myself getting one of these. But ended up with the 2023 G14 instead. Not as small but way more powerful. HP is on to something, but they really need to match the price and quality of the machine. It's just over priced for what it is.
Such a good laptop, great display, great case, specs and all… so good that they decided to strangle it with a 60W power 🤦♂️
Hi Jarrod i saw this laptop in the uk for £599 and was wondering if it's a good deal Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 16" - AMD Ryzen 5 - RTX 3050 4GB - 16GB ram - 512GB ssd
It is a good price as far as 3050 goes, but try get the 6GB if you can.
Can u review colorfull p15 evo
