Will you be making a review on Acer's new Swift X14 because according to Linus Tech Tips that it comes with a RTX 4060 or 70 so technically it would be considered a gaming laptop, and a really budget one at that good for casual gaming.
On 16" Oled not existing: Asus seems to have found them as they have multiple laptops coming out with 16" 120Hz Oled displays, though they might be marketed more towards content creation.
I dont see a point in high hz laptop gaming on old tn panels. Who is buying a laptop to play competitive shooters? The 4k oled options look sooo much better and play regular games fine, since most AAA games are made for 60hz, and plays fast paced shooters good enough to not feel at a disadvantage. The lack of full keyboard is more of a disadvantage.
My 2016 Alienware 13inch laptop has OLED 1440p touch 1060gpu . I can't find any laptop modern version that would be similar. The closest is the 13inch RAZER 2020 1080p Oled WITH 1650 TI I just want a 13inch touch screen laptop OLED with i7 or amd and a 4060 gpu The RAZER 15 Oled 240hz is a dream machine , but alas no touch screen , i can live without it
A lot of them are just rainbow puke. What if I want 16 cores for work? I need to pay for those things, and literally no one would give me 16 blessed 7945HX cores without useless bling.
My favourites are the Acer Helios 18, Scar and Strix G18, Alienware M18, Raider GE78 and Aorus 17X. Honourable mention is the Stealth 16 and TUF A16. I have to give HP the L. They just did a refresh. Here i was hoping for a better redesign.
Asus seems to pack the most power rn. MSI coming second and I'm excited to see what Alienware will have this year as they've had a rough few years. Lenovo really did disappoint, especially on the pro 7. The only new thing that the 2023 pro 7 has is the A.I thing if I'm not wrong ? The 5 pro just had a lid change which is alr I guess, just wish they'd have come out with a surprise. I'm very excited for the M16s release and also it's STRIX series, wish it had gone AMD though. Just for a change.
@@Petrrii the looks, the specs , the changes, the build, the internals from last gen? How the hell you even went from laptop to phone comparisons has me bamboozled.
@@Peizxcv I have different experience. Most probably performance/cooling varies from model to model. So which one in your opinion No.1 in terms of cooling and performance?
Interesting lineup this year, I'm looking forward to Asus, MSI and Alienware laptops the most. But it's disappointing that there isn't that much AMD laptops and Legion-laptops won't have a mini LED or OLED display options. Hopefully there will be AMD laptops later this year.
Actually butthurt Lenovo don’t have a mini LED option in the L7. I don’t want a razer blade and ASUS putting every single port around the sides is a massive turn off. Ugh 2023 is a bit poop for what I want tbh.
Agreed Razer was a fiasco this year when you see the costs of their now heavier and thicker 16 and 18, and the other product set ,14, 15, 17 is now obsolete, not even a 40 series refresh just left to die, what were they thinking?
I agree with your point on Razer on how it's heavier, Razer was meant to be Sleek but portable. But I think the Blade 14 will become the new Blade 15. 16:10 Screen, bigger body overall which means better cooling and *fingers crossed* more upgradability. I just hope they don't screw it up. 16/18in will be for those who want a true desktop replacement, the 14in will be the all rounder.
I have the 2021 blade 14 and it's amazing. But saying that, having the option to have it a little bit thicker to have a full powered GPU. As there older ones like mine and even last year is only 100watt GPU... this makes a difference.. I'd jump at it, not sure why a few people are saying other wise. He didn't go into much detail. They will have full powered GPU, better cooling, especially the 18 which has a third fan. I think the 16 would be a great middle, becuase I've had the 14 for over a year and love it.. but when trying to do productively stuff, the 14 screen can be pretty cramped and hard to read fine print. I'd say the 16 would be really nice for both gaming and work. For me, I would be happy with a little bit thicker. It's the build quality that I love, the steel chassis! Saying that, I got mine $1200 off, if it wasn't for that. I probably would have done MSI again
@@Everyday-man I can completely agree with all your points. The 14in is portability but does get cramped, I do hope by giving it a 16:10 screen this year *fingers crossed* it’ll make the overall body bigger giving it better cooling and maybe better upgradability.
Thanks Jarrod... I'm one of the people that are disappointed in no OLED options. But why hasn't Alienware included at least the Mini-LED options in its laptops? Surprised you didn't mention that as you did for Lenovo. Also, the 16inch 120hz OLED screens exist as some comments mentioned they can be found on content creation laptops. Eitherway, please give us reviews of these Mini-LED screens, especially the Razer dual mode 4k one. We want to know how they compare to the deep blacks and gorgeous colors of OLEDs. Thanks!
I have watched your channel and listened to you for quite awhile now. You calmly present your observations, which I appreciate. I think your channel is excellent.
Not a single miniLED 16" AMD 7000 based laptop except for the 2023 ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 ?! Very unfortunate to see, anyone noticed another laptop with such specs?
You mentioned what Razers value proposition is now. To me, their build quality has always been what sets them apart. And now finally we've moved past 2015 screens (in terms of brightness) on the Blades.
@@rubalskiy "Otherwise their screens are fine" - nope. 300 nits of brightness makes them unusable in just a somewhat bright work area. Now we finally have 16:10 and brighter screens.
@@Profato And now there screens are the only ones that can switch between native 4k to native 1080p.... This is very important... Plus with larger battery now with in the range of 90 and 95 wh ..... when you want to save on battery... switch to 1080p ... with light load... then you are sure you have beyond 9hr battery life...
Bro can you make a list on the best gaming laptops under 1200 dollar. In my country,the price of gaming laptops are sky rocketed. Tax behind laptops are high as 35%!.
Such a shame so few AMD advantage laptops announced. Like the case of the G14: I've seen a lot of people cheering for Nvidia GPUs. When they will see the prices the grin will be wiped of their faces. It would be nice if these manufacturers would offer the option to configure the hardware ourselves. Like I get it, some people who want mobility do work that require CUDA, but these are gaming laptops after all, and for gaming Radeon GPUs are fine too and also less expensive.
MSI's insistence of not offering advanced optimus cause they are too tight to pay the license fee is going to eventually bite them in the butt. What a shame as they have so much else going for them. I can't believe I am saying this but the Razers look interesting this year. Asus 18" or Acer 18" have piqued my interest the most though. Let's hope they truly deliver.
The Latest Asus Duo is stuck at 2K once again. What happened to the promise of 4K 120/FHD 240 hybrid monitors. Why was the concept ditched shortly after the first few releases of Duos sold from last year Duos? The whole last year, from launch, the 4K Duo model everybody wanted was sold out & never restocked. Only 2K variants were shown available.
Pricing was the issue. Basically, the screen made the price go up too much, but folks werent interested in buying them. Seems in the laptop scene, higher refresh rates at a range of about $1500 - $2000 is the sweet spot. You go above that and its not a big seller, but more of a hyper niche product. Theres also the fact that having 4K 120 screens does put pressure on the battery.
@@Synkhan Pressure on the battery seems redundant, I wouldn't be gaming on the Laptop's battery a lot anyhow. people usually do that while its plugged in, lol
@@tadams587 Trust me, I completely agree with you there, but it is still something that is usually considered. Companies dont want to be that one company with the laptop that cant last less than 3 hours off battery. Take a look at most of them, 3 hours is like the bottom of the barely they are willing to take. Understand that I mean general use, not gaming. A gaming laptops components still utilise a ton of power even when not gaming. But thats just an assumption from my end. There may be other reasons this isnt the norm.
I wish to have more amd cpu on laptops... they are super efficient and great for productivity as gaming. I prefer nvidia gpus, as not only dlss helps but a lot of creative aplications use cuda. Fck high refresh rate screens... 120 - 144 is enough... a better panel with better nits, contrast and color is preferable than trying to have 240 or 300 fps..... usb 4 or thunderbolt... tbh I don't know which will be better... but its needed. QHD should be enough.... 4k in a small screen is a waste of battery ..... hope to see how they behave as arrive for review jarrod. keep it up
Really excited to see how the G16 performs, seems like the perfect laptop to replace my old Nitro 5. Unfortunately it will probably be out of my budget, even if I wait for black Friday deals.
OLED has better blacks and contrast overall, at the cost of burn in being a consideration. (I’m sure that it’s better than it was before, but it’s still somewhat inherent to the physics of OLED) Mini LED is just an IPS* screen with a better backlight. They get brighter than OLED (most of the mini leds I’ve seen announced are 1000 nits, whereas OLED last year was ~500 nits). You don’t have to worry about burn in. Cons of mini led would be worse blacks and less insane contrast. Mini led might have haloing in dark scenes, that’s something we’ll have to see when Jarred does his reviews.
Its good to see laptop manufacturers giving mux switch,high quality 100% DCI-P3 screens,Wifi 6E,type c charging even in the lowest budget models. Right now even laptops upto ~1200 are shipped with garbage screens.
I’m disappointed there’s even less AMD Advantage laptops this year. By far my favourite of the bunch was the Delta 15, which was HUGELY underrated. My brother did got the low-end Victus 15 with the RX6500, which I of course persuaded hard and ended up saving him a couple hundred dollars than buying a similarly spec’d Nvidia+Intel combo. Making things worse was Southeast Asia’s stock and pricing strategy which was even more outrageous considering their love for those Nvidia+Intel things.
@@Supcharged I wish they did a refresh on the Delta, along with a RX6750 (if that’s even possible?). As I recall, only Dell and ASUS did some refresh on their AMD Advantage laptops.
Absolutely agree. I have the G15 Advantage edition with a 6800M which is still a monster and I would've loved to see a continuation of something like that
Such a disappointment from lenovo 😥, they have been dominating the throne for the last 2 years. I guess it's time for another brand to take the crown...
@@SirRFI They were really good in the past, I mean, just last year, I thought they were the best overall option (even Jarrod thought so as well), but this year, they seem to be reversing the good parts of their laptops...
I think I made a mistake buying a asus tuf a17 / rtx 3070ti 140w / ryzen 7 6800h / 16gb ddr5 / 1tb m2 ssd / full hd ips 144h screen for 1400€. I could return it, whats your opinion?
Im in the same boat, except with the acer helios 300 same specs except 240Hz QHD screen and i7-12700H, thinking return to get Helios 16 with 4080, 32GB ram and Mini LED display but I’m afraid it will cost me $1000 more even at Black Friday pricing lol.
Main think I hate about those laptops is selling it with "new" tax. It already happend in 12 intel gen, which were sold with rtx 3050(4gb). Can't wait to see rtx 4050 cost more than rtx 3060, while being worst !!! Idk about new cpu, as screen will still have 60% srgb. Give me better screen instead.
Lenovo fucked up on the Legion Pro 7, they should leave the 2022 design, and update to intel 13th gen and RTX 4000 series with Mini Led screen. Success guaranteed. My personal pick now is Blade 16 or Scar 16. Shoutout to Jarrod for doing a great job for the gaming community 💥
I agree. The 2022 chassis was nearly perfect. And now they threw it away for... whatever this gaming centric design is. I hope that 2022 chassis becomes the Legion 9, because otherwise Lenovo won't be getting any more of my money...
Lenovo even already offers a 1000 nit 240Hz VRR mini-LED option on their 2022 Legion 7 series in other markets. The fact that don't offer it here is pathetic.
@@cameronbosch1213 If you meant Legion 7 Gen 7 AMD - it's available in some EU countries. They also intend to release it in Poland as per Lenovo PSREF and customer support. No idea what takes them so long though.
@SirRFI No, I was referring to the Pro 7 (the 8th gen). I actually have a Legion 7 7th grn with AMD, and I love it. Shame it was often backordered and never got custom built options...
Hey Jarrod! I'm a game developer and always assumed a gaming laptop would be ideal for me doing work on the go, but frankly, the RGB and Transformer-like designs put me off. Could you do me a huge favour and reccommend your choice for a laptop with gaming-level specs, that doesn't look ... _gamery_ ... ? Much appreciated! Love your work.
Bro I got you the zephyrus duo 16 it has 64 gb of ram rtx 4090 with 165 watts ryzen 9 7945 hx mini led 240hz qhd for and last but not least it has 2 screens for multitasking would prolly be useful for developing Edit: forgot to say it barely has rgb
MSI GE series, they don’t look gamery, design IMO is very subtle. RGBs can be turned off completely as well as customized to your needs. ie turnoff rgb bar and leave keyboard at single color.
Funny, in recent times there are rarely any Laptops I would consider to be "transformer-like" designs. I mean there is now definitely more stealthy office type looking maschines than gamery looking ones. So there is plenty to choose. If money is no consideration you should look into Razer as they really look like MacBooks that were made for gaming but there are so many other options nowadays. Asus g14/g15/g16/M16/x16 Hp omen Gigabyte aero 16/17 Acer predator Triton MSI stealth gs66/16 I just would keep my hands off of Alienware MSI Raider/Titan Gigabyte Aorus Most Lenovos Acer Nitro Asus Tuf/Dash/Scar Because they still look quite gamery
Kinda just skipped over Razer entirely. Had to go to Gizmo slip tech. Most all these laptops got bugfer ao they can run at 175 TDP...which is a win for me.
@Jarrod'sTech Appreciate your video and reply. Just seems like Asus had then longest, and Razer was a bit passed over, as with some other brands. But as pointed out in your next video, sizing is what Razer is known for...and price.
your videos are pretty informative and helpful man. but i wish they were a bit more visual focused then just stat based. makes your videos quite monotonous
Yeah, the 2022 Legions were near perfect. It legitimately shocked me to see Lenovo go in this direction just one year after they released the near perfect 2022 models. I don't like it...
@@cameronbosch1213 My brother got their 2022 model I picked out for him after tonnnss of research. It was 1440p165hz with a 6800H and a 3070Ti for $1400 USD a few months ago. Insane deal and I still know how to get it so I am just tempted to get one for myself even though I have a decent laptop since the laptop is so much more impressive than I thought it would be.
Can’t wait for the review. After being ripped off’ 700€ for a secondhand old gaminglaptop, I can’t wait to finally get a proper one 6 years later. Hope to make the best choice possible.
The ROG scar liquid metal skewing/flowing could still be Achille's Heel and a deal breaker.😂 Don't think they could fix this issue in the 2023 gen scar 16/18
I got a higher end MSI a few years ago, and it was the worst tech decision I ever made. Cruddy plastic and screen hinges, thing is literally in pieces, not even a screen, but still somehow works at least! Won't be buying an MSI laptop again. Was leaning towards Lenovo for their metal chassis + keypad and rear I/O + AMD for longer battery life and 2TB config. (I've always gone intel/nvidia) Just can't decide which version. 6900 slim? New Pro 7 coming out (why the upside down ethernet?!), or the current 7, non slim. If you could pick for yourself, which of those 3 might you go for? It's a tradeoff between form factor/battery/heat/speed/io so there isn't a clear choice for me! Finally, and sorry because I'm sure you've been asked 1000 times, but what is your accent? Your O's are R's and I can't figure it out!
1. ASUS G14 2. Acer Predator Helios 16 3. ASUS M16 4. Legion Pro 7 5. Acer Nitro 16 These are my top 5 so far. Will definitely be buying a 2023 G14 with either a 4050 or 4060. It'll sit right next to my 2022 Legion 5i as a secondary laptop and be my main travel laptop.
I have a swift x with a Ryzen 7 5700u and a Gtx 1650 (laptop). Even if it would be an improper use, do you think I can consider it "for gaming"? (obviously I'm talking about semi-decent gaming)
i like my old cheap MSI GF63 thin *( 3050 variant but with 32GB of 3200mhz ram the UHD graphic's are no slouch either and the 40W 3050 gets alot of help from that too with windows 11 )* now that i've worked on it and upgraded it, next pc will be my 7950X/4090/64GB build when i find a new house to live in, 2nd laptop ever first intel cpu ever and i can say not a big fan of intel even after a re-paste it still runs hotter than i would like *( gonna open it up again soon re-paste with thermalright tfx and k5 pro the VRAM's i messed up not doing it the first time but i wanted to try noctua nh-2 last pc build for me was 2002 AS5 was king back then so i had to try all the best on the market i don't get people who build a $5k usd pc's and use $1 thermal paste, i wish i could use LM but i shake too bad )*
I had my heart set on getting the 2022 scar 15 but now I'm thinking maybe I should wait? but at the same time it's weird that the market is going from 15" to 16" laptops now. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I just don't want to get a 3070 ti and then have the 4 series come right after and have me regret my purchase because it seems like it's going that way now if not soon
@@cameronbosch1213 No NA and Europe it seems. Currys UK has listed a few RTX 40 series laptops and I'm only seeing the legion Pro 7i. No Pro 7. Annoying because I'm interested in the R9 7945 HXs potential.

@Union of Slav Stan Republics I need AMD, so Asus isn't an option. I mean, where's the AMD Ryzen options!? Oh, and still no Acer Predator AMD. So it looks like Alienware's m series could be the most improved this year!
Any deals on 3080ti 16vram laptop with i7 or i9 i like to use it for game making and video editing 8k or any good price on a 4080 or 4090 laptop like use it for 6 years or longer
Which of these have touch screen? I know the ROG flow does but I def need that feature so its a deciding factor for me. Id love to find a sexy chassis, good internals AND touch screen with 10 key. Is my dream a potential reality? lol
Quite dissapoiting except the laptops where some AMD CPUs and a little bit of AMD CPU+GPU are featured. It looks like manufacturers are going backwards to offer less AMD Advantage options. Hopefully there will be some new AMD Advantage models around Computex, because I do not believe, that people does not want 16 cores in their next machines. I would like to buy proper 16-18 inch high end AMD Advantage Laptop this year.
I'd guess at least 3500-4000$ for 4090 machines Edit: Keep in mind that these laptop 4090s are the same as desktop 4080s with the same amount of cuda cores so it's the same silicon and they cost at least 1200€ here in Germany. So adding the laptop around it, factoring in things like new oled/mini led screens, CPUs and a hefty markup below 3000$ would be astonishing
@@alexjunior6463 First company which shared prices I could find is XMG. The basic one with 4060 costs 2199€ 4070 +375€ 4080 +1050€ 4090 +1687€ So 3886€ for the 4090... Yeah... 💸

Yeah I was hoping for an ultralight 4lb/1.8kg device -- not too far off from the latest MSI Prestige 15 -- but with a Ryzen 7000HS for battery life, a 16:10 15-inch display, and a 80Wh+ battery (AMD Advantage with RDNA3 optimally, but a 125W 4070 Mobile would do) -- basically a Zephyrus G14 with the extra screen real estate but still lighter than almost any other 15.6-16in gaming laptop out there. Here's hoping SOME brand comes around to offering just that 🙏
There is one brand that has a few of what you're asking for. It has Ryzen 6000, a 15 inch screen (high refresh, but sadly 16:9), unfortunately no dGPU, a 70 Wh battery, and a lighter chassis. It's a Linux laptop from System76, the Pangolin 2023. I'm considering it because it comes with Linux out of the box, doesn't have Nvidia, can go up to 32 GB of RAM with 2 m.2 SSDs, and even has a decent port selection. If it had a dGPU, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a 16:10 screen, it would have been perfect... Unfortunately, there aren't many good Ryzen 7000 series options... It's like OEMs are fine to screw over consumers to keep the Intel CPU & Nvidia GPU monopoly...
Strix look cool. A 4k OLED on those would be great. Not yet though? The Tuff did the screen improve? That was the worst screen on 2022 version. Looked like a colorized black and white movie. The build quality on the strix and tuff is excellent. Solid.
Hey Jarod, i want to upgrade the mem of Legion 5 pro with 32 GB faster memory. Can you link them?? BTW watching your videos since an year now and you make great content. Bought my legion 5 pro with your help😀
I have the Razer blade 14 2021 rtx3070, it's honestly pretty amazing in what it does. Has very good cooling with there vapor chamber. Actually impressed with its cooling, the screen is beautiful for both gaming and movies. The only thing I wish I went for now, is looked for a 32g ram laptop. After seeing Howarts wanting 32g ram for Ultra settings. I'm predicting newer games will start requiring more ram, which is expected I guess. Games are no longer just games. They're basically a playable movie, there just so huge in many ways. I recommend anyone reading this, try get a laptop with 32g ram or atlest had the possibility of adding more ram. Mine is soldered on 😞 but overall it's a fantastic system
What is the cost difference between all the devices using Mini LED and Lenovo opting out? If there is a noticeable price difference from it then I would let it slide (especially with the 4000 series ridiculous pricing). If they try to drop it at the same price then it will hurt them bad.
As a filmmaker, I wish the 18-inch models were a little more colour correct asper the Adobe RGB standards. I wouldn't have thought of purchasing anything else

is that a problem ? I more fan of AMD but as a beginner I do no understand it. Is that true that intel always gets hotter than AMD?
@@nhatanhvu8847 yea intel probably pay them to use their trash cpus just like in the 2000's
G14 and m16 does
Actually butthurt Lenovo don’t have a mini LED option in the L7. I don’t want a razer blade and ASUS putting every single port around the sides is a massive turn off. Ugh 2023 is a bit poop for what I want tbh.
Agreed Razer was a fiasco this year when you see the costs of their now heavier and thicker 16 and 18, and the other product set ,14, 15, 17 is now obsolete, not even a 40 series refresh just left to die, what were they thinking?
Exited about those Asus ones! Went and bought a minimum spec laptop for my bachelors and will try and resell that once those badboys comes out!
I did the same thing
4060 laptop < 4050 desktop, 4070 laptop < 4060 desktop, 4080 laptop < 4070 desktop, 4090 laptop < 4070 ti desktop.
Another one:
4060 laptop specs < 4050 desktop specs, 4070 laptop specs < 4060 desktop specs, 4080 laptop specs < 4070 desktop specs, 4090 laptop specs =< 4080 desktop specs. Anybody don't buy this shit.
I agree with your point on Razer on how it's heavier, Razer was meant to be Sleek but portable. But I think the Blade 14 will become the new Blade 15. 16:10 Screen, bigger body overall which means better cooling and *fingers crossed* more upgradability. I just hope they don't screw it up. 16/18in will be for those who want a true desktop replacement, the 14in will be the all rounder.
I have the 2021 blade 14 and it's amazing. But saying that, having the option to have it a little bit thicker to have a full powered GPU. As there older ones like mine and even last year is only 100watt GPU... this makes a difference..
I'd jump at it, not sure why a few people are saying other wise. He didn't go into much detail. They will have full powered GPU, better cooling, especially the 18 which has a third fan. I think the 16 would be a great middle, becuase I've had the 14 for over a year and love it.. but when trying to do productively stuff, the 14 screen can be pretty cramped and hard to read fine print. I'd say the 16 would be really nice for both gaming and work.
For me, I would be happy with a little bit thicker. It's the build quality that I love, the steel chassis! Saying that, I got mine $1200 off, if it wasn't for that. I probably would have done MSI again
@@Everyday-man I can completely agree with all your points. The 14in is portability but does get cramped, I do hope by giving it a 16:10 screen this year *fingers crossed* it’ll make the overall body bigger giving it better cooling and maybe better upgradability.
Thanks Jarrod... I'm one of the people that are disappointed in no OLED options. But why hasn't Alienware included at least the Mini-LED options in its laptops? Surprised you didn't mention that as you did for Lenovo.
Also, the 16inch 120hz OLED screens exist as some comments mentioned they can be found on content creation laptops. Eitherway, please give us reviews of these Mini-LED screens, especially the Razer dual mode 4k one. We want to know how they compare to the deep blacks and gorgeous colors of OLEDs. Thanks!
The lack of OLED or miniLED is a disadvantage on my Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 7 2022. However, it is still an excellent IPS screen.
I have watched your channel and listened to you for quite awhile now.
You calmly present your observations, which I appreciate.
I think your channel is excellent.
Thanks!
@@JarrodsTech Hi jarrod. Do you think it is necessary to calibrate gaming laptop batteries to decrease a wear level and preserve battery overall?
Not a single miniLED 16" AMD 7000 based laptop except for the 2023 ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 ?!
Very unfortunate to see, anyone noticed another laptop with such specs?

@@killerra why is everyone going for the 18" I don't get it. It's too big
I am looking forward to seeing what HP does, as it will likely be more budget friendly.
I gotta admit the HP 13inch spectre 11th gen intel had a cool setting that it didn't boil your balls while being on your lap
If you're looking for a respectable budget line, you really should check out the Dell G line (ex: G15)
You mentioned what Razers value proposition is now. To me, their build quality has always been what sets them apart. And now finally we've moved past 2015 screens (in terms of brightness) on the Blades.
Could you explain? why is it past?
@@korober because 16:10 became more popular nowadays, otherwise their screens are fine
@@rubalskiy "Otherwise their screens are fine" - nope. 300 nits of brightness makes them unusable in just a somewhat bright work area.

Bro can you make a list on the best gaming laptops under 1200 dollar. In my country,the price of gaming laptops are sky rocketed. Tax behind laptops are high as 35%!.
Nice video! As someone with high mobility while casual gaming in between, I can't wait to see which one will be the best 14" gaming laptop...
The 720p camera on the msi top tier is wouldn't escaped from jarrod mention xd
Such a shame so few AMD advantage laptops announced. Like the case of the G14: I've seen a lot of people cheering for Nvidia GPUs. When they will see the prices the grin will be wiped of their faces. It would be nice if these manufacturers would offer the option to configure the hardware ourselves. Like I get it, some people who want mobility do work that require CUDA, but these are gaming laptops after all, and for gaming Radeon GPUs are fine too and also less expensive.
Guess not waiting for legion 7i 2023 was a good choice. Got mine legion 7i 2022 on September on big discount.
MSI's insistence of not offering advanced optimus cause they are too tight to pay the license fee is going to eventually bite them in the butt. What a shame as they have so much else going for them. I can't believe I am saying this but the Razers look interesting this year. Asus 18" or Acer 18" have piqued my interest the most though. Let's hope they truly deliver.
Looks like a great year head for the laptop market. I hope they deliver.
Disagree. It would be if OEMs other than Alienware actually cared to put AMD in 16/18 inch laptops.
The Latest Asus Duo is stuck at 2K once again. What happened to the promise of 4K 120/FHD 240 hybrid monitors. Why was the concept ditched shortly after the first few releases of Duos sold from last year Duos? The whole last year, from launch, the 4K Duo model everybody wanted was sold out & never restocked. Only 2K variants were shown available.
Pricing was the issue. Basically, the screen made the price go up too much, but folks werent interested in buying them. Seems in the laptop scene, higher refresh rates at a range of about $1500 - $2000 is the sweet spot. You go above that and its not a big seller, but more of a hyper niche product. Theres also the fact that having 4K 120 screens does put pressure on the battery.
@@Synkhan Pressure on the battery seems redundant, I wouldn't be gaming on the Laptop's battery a lot anyhow. people usually do that while its plugged in, lol
@@tadams587 Trust me, I completely agree with you there, but it is still something that is usually considered. Companies dont want to be that one company with the laptop that cant last less than 3 hours off battery. Take a look at most of them, 3 hours is like the bottom of the barely they are willing to take. Understand that I mean general use, not gaming. A gaming laptops components still utilise a ton of power even when not gaming. But thats just an assumption from my end. There may be other reasons this isnt the norm.
I wish to have more amd cpu on laptops... they are super efficient and great for productivity as gaming. I prefer nvidia gpus, as not only dlss helps but a lot of creative aplications use cuda. Fck high refresh rate screens... 120 - 144 is enough... a better panel with better nits, contrast and color is preferable than trying to have 240 or 300 fps.....
usb 4 or thunderbolt... tbh I don't know which will be better... but its needed.
QHD should be enough.... 4k in a small screen is a waste of battery .....
hope to see how they behave as arrive for review jarrod. keep it up
Really excited to see how the G16 performs, seems like the perfect laptop to replace my old Nitro 5. Unfortunately it will probably be out of my budget, even if I wait for black Friday deals.
It's on sale :p
Why the shift from AMD to Intel?
4:45 anyone else like the flat back design more compared to the exhaust vents sticking out?
I think the 2022 model was the ultimate laptop. The 2023 ruined everything good about Legions...
Oled vs mini led wich is better ?
OLED has better blacks and contrast overall, at the cost of burn in being a consideration. (I’m sure that it’s better than it was before, but it’s still somewhat inherent to the physics of OLED)
Mini LED is just an IPS* screen with a better backlight. They get brighter than OLED (most of the mini leds I’ve seen announced are 1000 nits, whereas OLED last year was ~500 nits). You don’t have to worry about burn in.
Cons of mini led would be worse blacks and less insane contrast. Mini led might have haloing in dark scenes, that’s something we’ll have to see when Jarred does his reviews.
@@levygaming3133 thx
This is awesome. I just returned my X17 R2 and awaiting refund from Dell. Hopefully I will be able to get the updated version once it launches.
Its good to see laptop manufacturers giving mux switch,high quality 100% DCI-P3 screens,Wifi 6E,type c charging even in the lowest budget models.
Right now even laptops upto ~1200 are shipped with garbage screens.
Props to Asus for making the flow EGPU backwards compatible
I’m disappointed there’s even less AMD Advantage laptops this year. By far my favourite of the bunch was the Delta 15, which was HUGELY underrated. My brother did got the low-end Victus 15 with the RX6500, which I of course persuaded hard and ended up saving him a couple hundred dollars than buying a similarly spec’d Nvidia+Intel combo. Making things worse was Southeast Asia’s stock and pricing strategy which was even more outrageous considering their love for those Nvidia+Intel things.
MSI didn't even make a single Ryzen 6000 series laptop last year.
SEA for the win. And yes, unless you live in Singapore, some stocks sre difficult to get.
@@Supcharged I wish they did a refresh on the Delta, along with a RX6750 (if that’s even possible?). As I recall, only Dell and ASUS did some refresh on their AMD Advantage laptops.
@@joelconolly5574 AMEN. Singapore always got the good stuff though.
Absolutely agree. I have the G15 Advantage edition with a 6800M which is still a monster and I would've loved to see a continuation of something like that
Such a disappointment from lenovo 😥, they have been dominating the throne for the last 2 years. I guess it's time for another brand to take the crown...

@@AMBITION6176 Why is it bad brand? In general
@@SirRFI They were really good in the past, I mean, just last year, I thought they were the best overall option (even Jarrod thought so as well), but this year, they seem to be reversing the good parts of their laptops...
I think I made a mistake buying a asus tuf a17 / rtx 3070ti 140w / ryzen 7 6800h / 16gb ddr5 / 1tb m2 ssd / full hd ips 144h screen for 1400€. I could return it, whats your opinion?
Im in the same boat, except with the acer helios 300 same specs except 240Hz QHD screen and i7-12700H, thinking return to get Helios 16 with 4080, 32GB ram and Mini LED display but I’m afraid it will cost me $1000 more even at Black Friday pricing lol.
Main think I hate about those laptops is selling it with "new" tax. It already happend in 12 intel gen, which were sold with rtx 3050(4gb).
Can't wait to see rtx 4050 cost more than rtx 3060, while being worst !!!
Idk about new cpu, as screen will still have 60% srgb. Give me better screen instead.
Lenovo fucked up on the Legion Pro 7, they should leave the 2022 design, and update to intel 13th gen and RTX 4000 series with Mini Led screen. Success guaranteed.
My personal pick now is Blade 16 or Scar 16. Shoutout to Jarrod for doing a great job for the gaming community 💥
I agree. The 2022 chassis was nearly perfect. And now they threw it away for... whatever this gaming centric design is. I hope that 2022 chassis becomes the Legion 9, because otherwise Lenovo won't be getting any more of my money...
@@cameronbosch1213 which notebook.are you saying, in 2022? Legion 7 with rtx 3070-3080?

thank you jarrod for working hard, summarizing what happened at CES for lazy ppl like me xD
Lenovo Poland promoted CES 2023 stuff, while they still don't sell Legion 7 from 2022. At this ratio NVIDIA will earlier announce RTX 4080 Ti.

Hey Jarrod! I'm a game developer and always assumed a gaming laptop would be ideal for me doing work on the go, but frankly, the RGB and Transformer-like designs put me off.
Could you do me a huge favour and reccommend your choice for a laptop with gaming-level specs, that doesn't look ... _gamery_ ... ?
Much appreciated! Love your work.

Edit: forgot to say it barely has rgb
MSI GE series, they don’t look gamery, design IMO is very subtle. RGBs can be turned off completely as well as customized to your needs. ie turnoff rgb bar and leave keyboard at single color.
Funny, in recent times there are rarely any Laptops I would consider to be "transformer-like" designs.
I mean there is now definitely more stealthy office type looking maschines than gamery looking ones. So there is plenty to choose.
If money is no consideration you should look into Razer as they really look like MacBooks that were made for gaming but there are so many other options nowadays.
Asus g14/g15/g16/M16/x16
Hp omen
Gigabyte aero 16/17
Acer predator Triton
MSI stealth gs66/16
I just would keep my hands off of
Alienware
MSI Raider/Titan
Gigabyte Aorus
Most Lenovos
Acer Nitro
Asus Tuf/Dash/Scar
Because they still look quite gamery
Take a look at the 2022 Lenovo Legion Slim 7 maybe, it looks professional imo
Fantastic roundup, thanks Jarrod!
Glad you liked it!
Dont say lower wattage ultra books, without mux switch, high latency as a bad choice, there are professionals who use case is different.
Sure, but this is a video on gaming laptops specifically.
Kinda just skipped over Razer entirely. Had to go to Gizmo slip tech. Most all these laptops got bugfer ao they can run at 175 TDP...which is a win for me.
You can see my dedicated Razer video here: th-cam.com/video/Qg4jg2RxDvA/w-d-xo.html
@Jarrod'sTech Appreciate your video and reply. Just seems like Asus had then longest, and Razer was a bit passed over, as with some other brands. But as pointed out in your next video, sizing is what Razer is known for...and price.
I'm thinking of either an ASUS TUF laptop or Lenovo Legion laptop.
Minimum requirements:
-16 GB RAM
- 1TB SSD minimum
your videos are pretty informative and helpful man. but i wish they were a bit more visual focused then just stat based. makes your videos quite monotonous
Any word on a release date or price in the uk for the strix 18
Thumbs up but put some sort of pricing on these high end laptops.
The Lenovo stuff is a real shame I am tempted to buy one of their older last year models on sale since I like them so much better
Yeah, the 2022 Legions were near perfect. It legitimately shocked me to see Lenovo go in this direction just one year after they released the near perfect 2022 models. I don't like it...
@@cameronbosch1213 My brother got their 2022 model I picked out for him after tonnnss of research. It was 1440p165hz with a 6800H and a 3070Ti for $1400 USD a few months ago. Insane deal and I still know how to get it so I am just tempted to get one for myself even though I have a decent laptop since the laptop is so much more impressive than I thought it would be.
I wanted Highly software optimized AMD cpu to give their ultrabook level 30hr backup in thin gaming laptop too.
Thank you for this! So overwhelmed with the amount of new products
Pretty sure most computers will reach Razer price tags this year, slightly worrying...
Did Razer actually manage to sell any laptops in 2022?
Can’t wait for the review. After being ripped off’ 700€ for a secondhand old gaminglaptop, I can’t wait to finally get a proper one 6 years later. Hope to make the best choice possible.

I got a higher end MSI a few years ago, and it was the worst tech decision I ever made. Cruddy plastic and screen hinges, thing is literally in pieces, not even a screen, but still somehow works at least! Won't be buying an MSI laptop again. Was leaning towards Lenovo for their metal chassis + keypad and rear I/O + AMD for longer battery life and 2TB config. (I've always gone intel/nvidia)
Just can't decide which version. 6900 slim? New Pro 7 coming out (why the upside down ethernet?!), or the current 7, non slim. If you could pick for yourself, which of those 3 might you go for? It's a tradeoff between form factor/battery/heat/speed/io so there isn't a clear choice for me!
Finally, and sorry because I'm sure you've been asked 1000 times, but what is your accent? Your O's are R's and I can't figure it out!
what do you reccomend for gaming?
rog strix g16 or zephyrus g16
1. ASUS G14
2. Acer Predator Helios 16
3. ASUS M16
4. Legion Pro 7
5. Acer Nitro 16
These are my top 5 so far. Will definitely be buying a 2023 G14 with either a 4050 or 4060. It'll sit right next to my 2022 Legion 5i as a secondary laptop and be my main travel laptop.
Legion Pro 7 will likely only be offered in Asia. So it's likely DOA.
After looking at XMG’s pricing, It seems like we should abandon Nvidia this year. This is just disrespectful and disgusting from Nvidia
I have a swift x with a Ryzen 7 5700u and a Gtx 1650 (laptop). Even if it would be an improper use, do you think I can consider it "for gaming"? (obviously I'm talking about semi-decent gaming)
I hope Acer would release a new model for Helios 500. It is the true beast of Predator series. And Triton 500SE either.
Acer is ass.

Quite dissapoiting except the laptops where some AMD CPUs and a little bit of AMD CPU+GPU are featured. It looks like manufacturers are going backwards to offer less AMD Advantage options.

I'd guess at least 3500-4000$ for 4090 machines
Edit: Keep in mind that these laptop 4090s are the same as desktop 4080s with the same amount of cuda cores so it's the same silicon and they cost at least 1200€ here in Germany.

There is one brand that has a few of what you're asking for. It has Ryzen 6000, a 15 inch screen (high refresh, but sadly 16:9), unfortunately no dGPU, a 70 Wh battery, and a lighter chassis. It's a Linux laptop from System76, the Pangolin 2023. I'm considering it because it comes with Linux out of the box, doesn't have Nvidia, can go up to 32 GB of RAM with 2 m.2 SSDs, and even has a decent port selection. If it had a dGPU, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a 16:10 screen, it would have been perfect...
Unfortunately, there aren't many good Ryzen 7000 series options... It's like OEMs are fine to screw over consumers to keep the Intel CPU & Nvidia GPU monopoly...
Strix look cool. A 4k OLED on those would be great. Not yet though?
The Tuff did the screen improve?
That was the worst screen on 2022 version. Looked like a colorized black and white movie.
The build quality on the strix and tuff is excellent. Solid.
Hey Jarrod what gaming laptop would you recommend in Australia around $2500 budget
Hey Jarod, i want to upgrade the mem of Legion 5 pro with 32 GB faster memory. Can you link them??
BTW watching your videos since an year now and you make great content. Bought my legion 5 pro with your help😀
I have the Razer blade 14 2021 rtx3070, it's honestly pretty amazing in what it does. Has very good cooling with there vapor chamber. Actually impressed with its cooling, the screen is beautiful for both gaming and movies. The only thing I wish I went for now, is looked for a 32g ram laptop. After seeing Howarts wanting 32g ram for Ultra settings. I'm predicting newer games will start requiring more ram, which is expected I guess. Games are no longer just games. They're basically a playable movie, there just so huge in many ways.
I recommend anyone reading this, try get a laptop with 32g ram or atlest had the possibility of adding more ram. Mine is soldered on 😞 but overall it's a fantastic system
*noted* Hopefully this year I move on from 8gb
What is the cost difference between all the devices using Mini LED and Lenovo opting out? If there is a noticeable price difference from it then I would let it slide (especially with the 4000 series ridiculous pricing). If they try to drop it at the same price then it will hurt them bad.
Not sure wether to keep or return my 3070TI Helios 300, and get the Helios 16 4080 with mini LED display.
As a filmmaker, I wish the 18-inch models were a little more colour correct asper the Adobe RGB standards. I wouldn't have thought of purchasing anything else
I would love a Zephyrus, exept I can't get over the fact the hot air gets pointed directly on to the screen.
Asus be killing it, surprisingly HP and Lenovo a Disappointment at CES 2023

I love all your reviews, am new into the gaming labtops but I want something best for normal watch movies and run rom games off a 4tb hard drive from retro arcade so the best labtop should I get ?
I was suggesting the ( asus rog zephyrus m16 )what u think ?
Alienware CC is still a buggy glitchy mess. Using the custom setting option causes all kinds of issues, the best thing it to block it from operating and just using it to change your keyboard lights.
Can we have a legit affordable version.
What do you think about the new Dell G16? Its price seems incredibly low for the components it has.
As much as i like my slim 7i, my laptop hinge was not even. Kind of disappointed with it, hope it last.
Really like what ASUS is doing and has been doing lately.
Looking forward to trying one out once the 100 series is out
