Helping the people as always sir
Lol really msi vector gp68 hx 12v 1599 Dollar is here in europe 1489 Euro. I bought it for 2400 euro😂
Hi Jarrod. Thanks for the awesome and informational content. I'm looking forward to buy a laptop with RTX 4060 mainly for 1080-1440p gaming and some coding. May I know Should I go for Ryzen 5 7640hs or Ryzen 7 7840 hs?
How about asus tuf f17..?
you tested the g5 with only 8gigs of ram and keep saying it underperforms,it seems as though you have a hate boner for gigabyte
I bought my laptop a couple years ago based on your recommendation (Lenovo Legion 5 Pro) and was very happy with it. Thanks to your video on it, I knew exactly what I was getting and how it would perform in games. I recommended your page to a friend who ended up buying an Acer Nitro 5 based on your video and found a good price on your site.. he's also very happy and got exactly what he expected. Your reviews are exhaustive but not unnecessarily long and just stick to exactly what the viewer needs to make an informed decision. This is the point where I would leave a critique of how you could improve going forward but you know what? Just keep doing exactly what you're doing. If I ever find myself in the market for a laptop for myself or family/friends, your review is the first thing I look for.
Thanks! That was a good model 👍
same, only bought legion 5
Don't lenovos still have the hinge issue? I have an E570 and it's just falling apart
@@JarrodsTechdo scar 16 pleease
My Lenovo Legion 5 Pro screen spoilt within a year.
I watch these for entertainment
Yeah same
Same
lol same
What do you mean by that? 😅🤲💔
Because dont have money to buy?
Jarrods reviews are really informative compared to other reviewers and that helps in make a better decision from a purchase point of view. Still waiting for the Predator Helios 16 review jarrod :-)
Cheers! Unfortunately Acer didn't want to send much over this year. I had to buy the Nitro 5, they sent the Helios Neo 16 instead of the Helios 16, and we didn't really want the Helios 18 either but they had it available so we just took everything we could actually get and did the best we could
The gaming market is quite overwhelming but I appreciate your deep research in all the videos, they have helped a lot in shortlisting my choices.
To think there were others than the 3 picked on the list. Thank you for confirming the best choices Jarrod! ❤️
Bought the HP Victus 15 with the RTX 3050 6gb for $550 on black Friday sale at Best Buy. Perfect for what I need! Love your channel, thank you for the great, consistent content!
does it play cod ok and valorant type games?
@@b__w_4565 valorant yes but New cod it kinda struggles
Love my f15 with rtx4060 as it was similarly priced as the victus in Germany. The legion wasn't available yet. Unfortunately your videos are rarely valid regarding the prices and availability here in Europe. However the tests are really helpful and very well done. Love the channel 2 big thumbs up.
How's the F15?
great video, appreciate the advice went with the LOQ 15 and bought it via the gaming laptop deals site as im an aussie and was a no brainer. thanks heaps for the help!
I tend to avoid budget gaming laptops since I need them for work, and budget gaming laptops tend to have a very gamer aesthetic and have really poor battery life. But it is still interesting to see how much power you can get at 1/2 or even 2/3 the price of a standard gaming laptop nowadays.
i did a review of the LOQ like Captain Jarrod here. Its budget in price but TBH it is still quite nice. Battery life is solid
Other options if you are USA/Canada based are the legion 5 slim (14" or 16") as well as the Slim 7 amd (which just saw a big price cut). Ive reviewed all these and like them all
The processors in them draw more power, hence the poor battery life. You would want to look for the CPU models that are low power.
loq 15 abt 6 hours for youtube and stuff and 30 mins of charging for 50%
I been watching Jarrod's videos for a while and it is very useful to be able to decide which equipment is best for you given the large number of options you have in the market. That's how I opted for a MSI Pulse 15 (with i7 13gen | RTX4060) for $1150 and I've been using it for a little over a month, I really love the way it works and the performance, for me without a doubt a good choice 👍
Good to hear, unfortunately we weren't able to get that model to review this year!
Such a nice video, Hopefully you make one about the mid range and high end models too since black Friday is about to come
Great video. Also love the Insomnium shirt, I have the hoodie version of that one 🤘
Out of millions of reviewers, your review is direct without any gimmick and only focus on the necessities. Best reviewer Jarrod hands down 11/10
I got myself the HP Victus 16 with slightly higher specs (I7-13700H, RTX4060, 16Gb DDR5, 1TB) for 1599.99 CAD (1169.50 USD) and I must say that i'm really, really happy with it. It's probably my first ever laptop that doesn't even come close to overheating issues. I watched Jarrod's video about the Victus 16 before buying it and it was very useful! I definetly recommend this laptop! 👌
Which website did you order it off? I’m also in Canada
I didn't order it online I got it directly from Best Buy in Quebec City, I bought it a few weeks ago there was a 300$ discount on it and I think it is still on sale at the exact same price for the Black Friday :) @@user-yq3kb8ku7r
Thanks for comprehensive yet pretty short overview
Thanks for this review. I'll be using a gaming laptop for video editing and running multiple apps at once (OBS, et al) . I've just purchased an Asus A17 (Ryzen 5) and it's not performing very well. Can you tell me which of these you'd recommend for video editing? Is the LOQ still best? I prefer a 17" if possible. Thank you!
I just purchased an ASUS TUF A16 from best buy for $749.99. As you mentioned at the end, picking based on power to performance alone is not for everyone. This laptop is smaller than the competitors, has a 16:10 display that is color accurate, a longer battery life, 100w USB charging, a numpad, low noise, 16GB of RAM, and nice chassis. The drawbacks are the 720p webcam, cooling system for gaming (manual profile fixes this), no touchscreen, and lack of NVIDIA 4000 features (not a big deal at this resolution IMO). The use case is 99% school for someone who was using a budget computer with a Ryzen 2500u and 8 GB RAM, to be able to play game with me without it looking like a slideshow. As it was a present, quality feel and look were important. The 16:9 screens and plastic chassis look like they waste space and give a budget feel. It was important to take them to Best Buy and see what they liked. Your reviews helped greatly, thanks.
Nice! Yeah I mention in the video $800 was the lowest for it, but I made this a week or two ago, we have it for $750 on the deals site now which is definitely more competitive :)
These just went off sale, I am hoping they go back on sale and I will jump straight onto it
Is it loud
@@CompSomAnichi i have had mine since Saturday, and it can rev up a bit when playing high intensive games, but i could not notice it when wearing headphones (i was playing with max fan settings.) The keyboard stays pretty cool even when running the most intense programs. I tested multiple triple a games with this thing and was getting around 100 fps in most single player experiences, but expect non triple a games to easily reach the 165 fps V-Sync enabled. I would 100% recommend it at the $750 price tag i got mine for this weekend.
@@CompSomAnichi It's not loud, it has been significantly quieter than my Gigabyte Aorus 15 laptop playing the same games with a frame cap, with a lower pitch noise which is nice. Reviews show it being quieter than most. I would consider replacing my more expensive Aorus 15 (i7-12700H and 3070ti) gaming laptop with it.
Thanks to your reviews on the HP Victus 16 i bought one two weeks ago... i wanted something that was powerful but it would also save me some money on the overal build quality of the laptop.... so i ended up with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (780M Integrated) and a RTX 4070 with a 144 hz screen for about 1400 euros! i'm so happy with my purchase so far!
How's the battery drainage when gaming? And heating?
@@anusxr honestly, after 8 months of use, i'm still in love with the laptop. I only game while having the laptop plugged with the charger tho. Even now duing the summer, with the heatwave we have in greece, the machine hasnt exceeded 80 celsius
This video came exactly at the moment i was trying to choose between the TUF and the LOQ- and i was leaning towards the TUF… Thanks for the save !
In the market for a business / gaming laptop. Your videos have help a ton. Thank you.
I would be interested in a comparison of fan noise. If a lower-powered GPU is 20% less in performance but substantially quieter, it could be a good deal.
I got the ASUS version of the Victus open box for $460, and I upgraded the memory to 32GB for $70, and paid $130 for a 2TB Samsung 990. I really enjoy it. It's a good mid range computer if you catch it on sale, which I suspect it will be for Black Friday.
Is it easy to upgrade ?
Nice video. Straight to the point.
Thanks for this video appreciate it!!!
Unfortunately Lenovo is overpriced here in the Philippines and Acer Nitro and Helios Neo are priced nicely. The newer HP Victus laptops aren't sold here nor the last year's models aren't good either. Funnily enough ASUS Tuf series are "affordable" here but ASUS has insane customer support service in the Philippines so that's why many people here want ASUS. Dell's G15/G16 are overpriced while thankfully people aren't falling Gigabyte's 4060 laptop. MSI's GF63 is quite a seller here, even if the hinge problem is known people just want to have a gaming laptop especially it's the cheapest rtx 4050 available.
For me personally I ended up getting the Gigabyte G5 KF 4060 variant as there was a sale not to long ago and I ended up getting it for about $1200 bucks vs the $1600-$1900+ for the other laptops with 4050s. It would of been nice to maybe have other models as they are of higher quality overall but the the price increase for me at least here in Australia wasn't worth it.
I've since done quite a bit of configuration with fan curves, voltages for the cpu and gpu and made some adjustments to the way the screen displays colors and its overall made a huge difference to the usability of the laptop. Out of the box its not the best and if I can do it I wish gigabyte did. It also would of been nice if they didn't handicap the GPU watt wise. The CPU is always the thing that runs way hotter where as the GPU just doesn't. I don't think I've seen it past 75c ever.
heelo jarrod, i love the way you making videos detailed than everyone and honest. i have a question in my mind that i think you can find the answer. does the 2023 model flow x13 with ryzen r7940hs cpu bottlenecks with 4090xg mobile at 4k gaming. you tested these kind setups for old model. and im curious for newer model. thanks for everything have a good day.
Hi Jarrod! Love your channel
Will you be reviewing the Omen 17 of 2023? Would love to see where it'd fit between other 4080 laptops
Another option for Canadian and American buyers is the Legion 7 Slim AMD. It has seen a huge price reduction. its semi-budget coming in at $900-1000 USD. but still a decent option.
but as you suggest, the LOQ and HP Victus are both great true budget offerings. I was a fan of both
Id go Legion Pro over the Slim for better thermals. Never understand the desire to go .25" thinner. Literally is meaningless.
@@srobeck77 the legion slim is a much more premium laptop. Significantly so
@JarrodsTech I purchased the Gigabyte G5 from Best Buy for 799 which is cheaper as stated in your video (Black Friday Deal). However, the G5 I purchased comes with the i7 12650H which is higher than the i5 in your tests AND 16 gb of DDR5 4800 ram (also an upgrade over your test model). Based on the lower price and these upgrades, would the G5 make the list of the top 3 or is it still a bust? I was also strongly considering the Asus TUF A16 Ryzen 7 7735HS with RX7600S. Should I return the G5 and get the A16?
Also considering this! These laptops rarely go on sale outside the US, in our country the LOQ 4050 6gb costs the same as the G5 4060 8gb.. I'm considering the G5 because as Jarrod stated, having more VRAM is better for future games.
That point alone made it contradict why he's saying to avoid the G5 laptop.
Thankfully I listened to your recommendations and got the 7840hs loq with the 4050 at best buy. Bought it through the lenovo site with a small discount=$679. Added 32gb of ram for $100. $779 for very zippy set-up.
Thanks!
Got myself Asus tuf a16 and I'm happy witb it so far, especially in terms of the power efficiency. It seems to be very pocket friendly when u play games compared to other gaming laptops
I had picked up the a16 ASUS for right about 700 bucks open box. No damage, nothing wrong with it, and it was normally 750 for their Black Friday deal. Use the savings that I got and bought 32 gigs, I think it's probably the best deal I could have had considering it went back up to $1,000
hows it ? ive heard that there are problems with the software , black screens and stuff
@@maanas126 Ive had some weird issues here and there, nothing a restart couldnt fix. Sometimes if the laptop has been on for a while, games run pretty slow, but after restart, its fine. Sleep modes are garbage, requiring a force restart. So I generally turn it off when not in use to be honest.
Most of the issues I have are software related, just not sure exactly what is causing them, but the hardware is fine. Performs better and quieter than the Dell G7 7700 (10750h, 2070M) that I am likely gonna sell soon
recently bought asus tuf f15 w/ rtx 3050 and 12th gen core i5 for PhP 56,995 which is about $1000, overall performance is great and especially the build quality of it. Gaming laptops or electronic device here in PH is quite pricy and most of the good ones are over or near PhP 100k and its quite scary to buy here online due to some logistics and scammers lurking. This is s a huge upgrade for me coming from core i5 8th gen U series and gtx 1050 laptop.
True. That's why Lenovo's LOQ aren't considered budget gaming laptops here and they're more expensive than Acer's Nitro and Helios Neo series.
Nice vid! Are you considering reviewing the Legion 9I ? I am really eager to see your review on it !
Helpful. Thank you, liked and subbed.
In my region hp victus 16 with 4060 (115w), Ryzen 5 7640 and 16gb of DDR5 costs LESS than both Acer and Lenovo models with 4050 on board. At which point it is a no-brainer. So pricing really REALLY depends on the region. 😮
So check the prices where you live
Best midrange plus futureproof plus price per performance IMO, is Acer nitro 16, you can get 4060 with 8gb vram and ryzen processors, build is good, slight gamer aesthetic rgb etc.
If you want the inbetween a premium and budget, go for Acer predator Helios Neo 16, Build quality is awesome, liquid metal, very cool cpu gpu temps, very premium look.
hey @Jarrod'sTech I've been planning to buy a new gaming laptop for a while now. Are you going to do a video for best deals during black Friday that's my main purchasing time. Love the channel
Got the Nitro 5 a while ago after watching Jarrod's 2022 review of it and I love mine - 12700H with a 3070 and 32GB of DDR4. One of the big selling points of the Nitro 5 that makes it really attractive to me and potentially others is that despite being a laptop, it has a LOT of storage options. Mine came with a PCIE Gen4 1TB boot drive, but there was a second M.2 slot free AND a 2.5-inch bay as well, which is rare to see these days on laptops. This allows you to add another M.2 drive and then also either a SATA SSD or even a high-capacity SATA 2.5-inch HDD if needed.
I ended up getting two more 2TB drives on sale and now happily have my entire Steam library and a few dozen movies and shows across my 5TB of storage on the go.
Got a acer neo 16 for 800 with i5 and 4050 on sale at best buy, and overall Im very happy with it. will pull off almost everything very well, recording AND playing on QHD display(external monitor) is very easy on it aswell - same for adobe video editing. Fans can get very loud up to a whooping 6k rpm but perfomance/turbo mode overclocks gpu by like 100-200 mhz, the fans can and will keep the gpu and cpu temps at
Same
I am confused between Loq 7840hs 4050 and i5 Neo 16 4050 please help😅
$700-800 laptops are tough because a lot of times they only come with 8 GB of system RAM and a 512 GB SSD, which let’s face it, just aren’t enough for modern gaming. So then you have to spend extra to upgrade those when for not much more on top of that you can buy something with those options out of the box with most times a better CPU and/or GPU. For example, right now you can get a Victus with an Intel HX CPU, 4060, and 32 GB of RAM from Costco for $1000.
I just bought this laptop from best buy on black friday sale for $800
GIGABYTE - 15.6" 144Hz Gaming Laptop FHD - Intel i7-12650H with 16GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 512GB SSD
@@DinosaurGFX1 I feel jealous tbh...
@@DinosaurGFX1That's good for 800$ ?
Great review, Jarrod. Also, I've replied to you to that commend made over 3 weeks ago
Nice video, thanks. I'd be interested in seeing the Radeon/Intel conterparts
I have been using Loq i5 12th gen rtx 4060 variant.
Pros -
Display
Usually displays are shit in this bracket but this is exceptional, bright and colors are great compared to my company lap (HP probook)
Battery(normally) compared to other competitors - i got around 5hr backup with youtube, netflix and google on 80 percent brightness without backlit keyboard lights .
Hardware, - overall its made of plastic but the finish is amazing, blue finish at the fans is a chefs kiss. Looks amazig ( its like ideapad and legion had a baby)
Performance on gpu front.
I played FH5 amd gta 5 at extreme settings, I use a monitor( which runs at 75hz) boi forza on extreme graphics is something else... I am extremely satisfied with the performance tbh. The fans are great, thermals are well under control ( i use a fan coolled base that also has an impact)
Cons - this is made like a brick and weighs like a brick too including the charger its a bit heavy. But good for workout 😅
Performance on battery mode(battery save mode) is stupidly trash like its a laggy mess, scrolls are gittery once u move to performance mode the disparitybis vissible. Wish they had M1 level of cpu on battery mode.
Speakers are utter garbage my phone soumds better than this.
what fan cooled base do you use?
How does it sound with headphones? And how is the performance without battery save mode? And how much battery backup do you get without battery save mode and not gaming?
@@blackknight6757 interestingly headphone output is amazing (much better than phone with dolby atmos output) and u have a software in this forgot the name u can fime tune the output based on ur liking..
I have a 2.1 channel sony speaker.. the difference from Samsumg A52s vs my lap is day and night especially with the base range.
@@xcybermoon433 hola I am umable tonput link for some reason..
I bought from flipkart for 700 Rs something.. also it has only 2 fans and small blue led.. serves the purpose and its value for money
Brand - Lapcare
you get good fps on low settings in valorant? how much averagely on low compared to high? might get one
Asus tuf a15 - ryzen 9 7940hs with rtx 4060 fhd screen at 1185 USD i think it was a good deal.
Wanted a 1080p screen with good color accuracy and it didn't disappoint .
I was afraid the screen would be dim but i'm pleasantly surprised for the brightness as well.
Universal x86 Tuning Utility really helped me tweak it, now the temps and overall performance is way better
Thanks for the review Jarrod btw😊 !
I bought one too (also we live in the same country it seems :)). What panel model do you have in your TUF? Mine seems to have a green-yellow tint.
@@AP-xl4vz hello, it's the 1080p 100% sRGB one . Got a great deal last week. Can't say i have the yellow tint at all.. Have you installed the official display drivers from AMD and nVIDIA also the chipset drivers from AMD.
In the meantime i uninstalled the Armory crate from ASUS and been using the G-helper app for everything ( replaced Universal x86 Tuning Utility as well )
@@alexpascu1985 I bought it from Flanco at the end of last month for 5100 RON (same specs as yours and with 8GB RAM, 512 GB SSD). According to HWInfo my panel is AU Optronics B156HAN15.H but i've seen another 144Hz panel model in reviews for the same Asus TUF A15, so I was wondering which one is yours. Manufacturers use panels from different producers interchangeably.
Great reviews as always! I’m curious if you will review the new M3 laptops from MAC?
I knew the LOQ would be on the list! I plan on buying it soon!
would you consider the LOQ with the 4060 over the 4050 for 200 more? or are there better things you would suggest at the 1000-1100 range? Thanks for the video, very detailed as always!
Acer helious neo 16
13700hx
Rtx 4060
1100 price very good
4060 significantly faster GPU, if you can add 200$ pls do it 😎 Games will be smoother and it will last longer as gaming device
I mean if you can get the lenovo legion slim 5 ryzen 7 4060 one at 1100 ish dollars, its a much better chassis. Other than that, there is very little competition to lenovo.
By budget I thought they meant dirt poor. I guess I’m never going to play fallout 3 without my laptop exploding…….😢😭
@JarrodsTech Hey Jarrod I just wanted your opinion on a budget purchase. I was able to get the lenovo 5 6600m 5800h laptop with two 2tb of nvme ssd space and 16gb of ram for 550 shipped in great condition. Does that compare favorably budget wise to these options? I have a rough idea of where the 6600m compares performance wise to a 4050 but it is kinda hard to tell since so little 6600m content exists outside a few videos like yours. Also hard to gauge how much the 5800h versus these newer cpus might affect the results.
Will you do a tierlist like the last year with all the new models that came out this year?
After watching so many videos about gaming laptops, I built my own desktop😢
I'm proud that you mentioned the worst Thin/Gigabyte laptops. I'd also add Cyborg here.
Complete rubbish laptops that appear very often on promotions and we all know very well - for good reason.
Tysm! I am planning to get one soon and play Microsoft flight sim!😊😊😊 appreciate it very much
GREAT VIDEO BRO IT HELPS ALOT
I think you should also consider battery and power efficiency when it comes to gaming laptops. Most people buy gaming laptops to use them in college or school.
Gaming laptops are objectively better than work laptops when it comes to value. That’s if you are asking why people buy “gaming laptops” if they are gonna use it for school.
I wish there was a laptop with only a 7000 series AMD cpu with a powerful iGPU as its graphics. That’s probably the best way to be a laptop in terms of being used for gaming and work while also being cheap. It has great power efficiency. Discrete graphics tend to consume battery even when they aren’t being used in laptops with two gpus.
You mean a Ryzen 7000 with Radeon 780M? There’s more than a few models with the 7840U, but it’s not featured here since they tend to be pricier business laptops, and the “dGPU better” mentality runs when thinking of gaming laptops.
If you meant more powerful chips like the 7940HX3D or 7840HS, yeah those are rarely ever sold w/o a dGPU.
You could look into the Ryzen 9 7940hs zen 4 with rdna3 igpu. It does run a bit hot under high load but it can be tweaked for better thermals and performance
Hi Jarrod! I am pretty much clueless when it comes to gaming laptops. I have $1,500 budget for a gaming laptop but with literally SO MANY options what would your opinion of preference would be in order to play Starfield and the Sims4 with all DLC? Looking to purchase within the month. Thank you 🙏
Good reviews man 🤝🔥very helpful information
Bought a HP Victus a while ago after seeing it on your channel. Absolutely worth it. Cheers.
Right the time I wanted to buy a new laptop. Thanks, Jarrod !
that's exactly what I thought this morning, I woke up with the thought of looking for a budget Gaming laptop, I didn't find it, but now that I've watched this video, maybe I'll think again
Yes loq is ultimate budget, if u get the 16 base model u get all the gsync and advanced Optimus, watching ur videos I bought the loq 16 with i7 and 4050
Gave my younger sister my old hp envy 15 gtx 850m i7 and surprisingly still holds up to some modern games
thanxxxxx ❤❤❤❤
What do you think of the stuttering issue that many Ryzen laptop CPUs face because of the tfpm issue? Many suppliers still haven't fixed it.
Got the Victus for around 500 with tax, really excited about it, thanks for the review
You know what else is best! That Thumbnail tho 😁
Loving this year Legion Pro 7i 🔥
Thanks to your channel I got a Legion 5 Pro with RTX 4070, Ryzen 7 7745HX for $1200.
Thank you for telling me to avoid the msi as I was considering them a few months ago but I’ve never heard of them before.
When do you plan on expanding the gaming laptop deals website to other regions? I'm in Canada and its hard to decide which budget laptop to get, since most of the reviews are US based.
I already bought a gaming laptop last month, but I still watch this and I'm shock that it's the 1st best budget
I was looking for Asus tuf F15 but there's no model for 12th gen I5 so I decided to find another laptop and saw the ryzen 5 7540hs in the spec sheet and it's within the budget so I bought it
I'm glad I did because the AV1 encoding is so good
Any Reviews on the new Acer Nitro V with i5 13th and 4050?
Hey @Jarrod’stech. I wanted to ask, if you were going to choose between the loq 15 vs the Aorus 16, what would you choose? I know for gaming and expense wise, the Aorus has better specs like a 8gb 4060, a 13th gen i7 processor, 240hz refresh, 16 gigs of ram, and a 1tb ssd to boot at only $100 more than the loq. However, I know there is more than just performance. Like, the amount of nits it has, the build quality of the laptop, etc. So I wanted to get your opinion on what your thoughts are. I should mention as well, that the loq is on sale at around $1,722 aud on sale (normally $1,899), while the Aorus is $1,897. Do you think the Aorus is worth it, or are there any major issues that would advice you otherwise? I’m curious to know before buying.
We didn't test the Aorus this year so hard to say, generally they seem decent so just depends on price difference. What screen does the LOQ have, in Australia we usually get shit screens, and the 240Hz one might at least be decent color gamut/brightness.
Can you recommend a good laptop for graphic design? I am considering lenovo legion 5 but I don't know if the screen is good enough
Is the LOQ a gaming PC that would work well with an at home stationary set up? I plan to play on a bigger monitor and keyboard etc and use the LOQ as a brain when i'm home and disconnect it to use on the go frequently.
Love my Asus A15 4060 with AMD cpu which I got on sale here in Sweden for roughly 1200 eur.
Yes, Sweden has really high tax so it is considered "low price".
What i love about this asus is that you can just install G-helper and uninstall armory and then turn this machine into a super silent laptop which can have longest battery time possible with no fans running at all.
I doubt that Lenovo Loq can do the same....
hey man just wondering what your thoughts on the infinity M7 Ryzen 7 RTX 4060 laptop. I need a laptop that can handle heavy programs for my year 11 and 12 subjects as well as last me through university and play some more modern games on the side, I'm trying to stay under about $2,800 AUD and this is one of the more cost effective ones I have found
Would you recommend the G5 K5f i712650H with the 4060 for $750? Looks very inciting to me.
Nice video. Those Lenovo's are a fantastic deal.
Awesome review about laptops as usual, Jarrod is my number 1 source of info whenever I need laptop information, However (and this isnt his job nor his obligation, besides, some people like it some people not) after (without consulting Laptopedia aka Jarrod'sTech) making the mistake (twice) of buying MSI laptops. word of advice. refrain from them if you hate whinny fans at low power profiles, jet engines at full power (even thoughthis is pretty much normal for any high perofmrance laptop) and really painful, clumsy, confusing driver support and suite (I'm looking at you MSI Dragon Center)
MSI laptos sacrifice a bit (or a lot, dependong on the budget range) outside aesthetics and sturdyness, make no mistake though, what I DO LIKE about MSI laptops is that they deliver good power and performance, but after dealing with a lot of config issues and cheap control center/driver support. I wouldn't get any more MSI laptops (yeah i know, all manufacturers have their own issues, and i havent had the money to test others, laptops tend to be long term investments, lol) not saying MSI is a bad brand, I usually love their motherboards and some of their GPUs for the desktop market.
Will buy the LOQ 15. Amazing value for the money
Bro, thank you for your videos. As it is basically the end of 2023, can you make a video of Top Gaming Laptops on a brink of 2024 that YOU would buy if you'd have to choose only one? There are so many laptops, and so many specs, kinda getting lost in all this when trying to choose. Actually the best laptop in your opinion, at the moment, not budget. Would love to hear words from an expert in this field, who is not sponsor-shilling. Cheers, mate.
After about 3 months, do you still recommend the Lenuvu to be a viable choice for a laptop?
Great video! Could you please advise me on how to check the full specs of a laptop's graphics card when the website doesn't display it? I'm interested in getting a laptop with an RTX 4060, but the power of the graphics card isn't listed. Does that make sense? ;) Specifically, I'm considering the Dell G15 553 model. Additionally, I'm curious to know if it has dual cooling fans or more, and if the RAM is upgradable. I recall from one of your videos that some laptops have soldered memory RAM onto the motherboard. Unfortunately, many websites don't provide all this information.
Can you review the MSI Katana 15 with RTX 4070?
You should start including thermals in these recommendations, as it’s a viable criteria due to longevity and overall quality of life feel. I’ve had experience with a Dell G15 5511 with an 11400H and 3050 and it burnt itself, both the CPU and GPU after 6 months of use, with a cheap 20$ cooling pad.
I didn’t talk about that for the same reason I didn’t compare other stuff like fps. We didn’t have all these with the same specs for fair comparison
the legend we all need but never asked for. thank you
Do you think there will be laptop versions of the new nvidia 4000 super gpu models? Because after many many years it's time for a new laptop in the near future for me. But the current vram bottleneck when you don't want to afford a 4080 or 4090 laptop is bothering me.
Could you please review Acer Nitro V ANV15-51. This laptop is the cheapest 4050 laptop I could find and I thought there would be some catch. But the reviews are all good.
I'm still praying we get a review of the budget version of the m16 - the g16 🙏
(looks like it can be good a good daily driver, not just for gaming)
I love everything about my Loq 15 w/4060 EXCEPT the screen. 144 hz with gsync is nice, but the ghosting is bad and very distracting. It's hard to be too mad since I snagged it on sale for $900 though.
I had a gaming laptop and it suddenly stopped working 😢 I finally have saved enough to get one! Thanks for the video!
@Jarrod'sTech, any news about Asus Scar 16 4090, based on 14th Intel CPU? And MSI line-up?
Hello, Jarrod. Which GPU has better overall performance? The 3060 or 4050?
man tysm for this vid, i bout to buy a laptop
had 3 lenovos so far build quality all are vry good
I was planning to go for the Loq 15, but the seller mentioned concerns about its potential cooling issues leading to future damage to the CPU. is this a common concern? I'm leaning towards the TUF 15 now, despite the slightly higher cost. Any insights would be appreciated!
nah, i have LOQ 15, and cpu temp is under 85C all the time.. check Jarrod's reviews, tuf is generally hotter than lenovo laptops
