Woot! Love you've added Flight Sim. Thank you
Picked up two of these for my kids. Ive played around with one to check performance. Its a great laptop! Its fast and it can play any game you throw at it. Thanks for validating the purchase ETA! As always, great and fair review.
What games did you "throw at it?"
Did they run over 60 fps?
@@OlviMasta77 My kids play Fortnite, Apex, Warzone along with other titles. Yes they run at or over 60. Apex on 1080p medium is at around 85-90. My daughter records videos with her cousins and it doesn't seem to stutter. I don't know the impact on FPS in that scenario.
@@laurensfundaytwl Seems like this laptop is legit. Is it really good because I still have doubts ☹️
@@sodatcat5379 I believe it is pretty legit. The 1650 is not a powerhouse GPU but it plays todays games at 60 FPS which is the refresh rate of the monitor. When ETA put this video out, I believe the price was $600. For this price and the performance you get, yes, it's worth every penny. My only issue is they needed extra storage space. You could use external storage or open the back up and add either a traditional SSD or an NVME drive (or both) without having to worry about cloning the original drive.
@@laurensfundaytwl thanks man I appreciated your info ill buy it anyways because the fps works great on games and its really good for performance. The gpu works good and should handle anything.
My sister just got this exact same model and inside the box it did include the SATA adapter as well as a few M.2 screws. It's just cleverly hidden inside the cardboard packaging.

I have an Asus TUF With the same case (Ryzen 4800h) with the GTX 2060, it's a marvel, the only problem was that it came with 8Gb of RAM and took them to 24 (then I'll switch to 32)
After having a Dell and an HP I really liked this Asus, the keyboard, the mousepad (which I use for work) and then in games it's great
Sure could've used this review before Black Friday.
Ditto. Would have been real helpful then. Wait for next sale.
@@martinlebl631 it was on sale Yesterday
LOL
@@infinitecashmoneyglitch go on best buy and a get a used one totally worth it got mine for 650
@@cynicalproductions6060 what about amazon? They sell it new or used?
When can we expect the AMD 4650g and 4750g emulation video? I've seen the PC gaming vids, but very much looking forward to it to help me decide which office/emulation combo I will compose before Xmas :)
Missed this deal. Will be looking this year for sure!
Amazing laptop for gaming thanks for the review.
I was looking at the 2060 version for a friend. I think you got a bargain.
Adding a second stick of RAM so that it's running in dual channel mode will give a nice performance boost.
How much better you think?
@@ytCharisma I would say about 10 more fps. Also there won't be stuttering issues if the game is RAM demanding. Overall it makes the performance more stable.
laptop still kicking ass? any tips? thinking of a good budget laptop
@@manuelgarcia739 It’s still nice. Just make sure to upgrade to 16gb ram.
@@AK-sw1nj i was considering of buying this laptop afyer i sell my Xbox One and PS4, should i get a extra 8GB DDR4 Ram stick?
i got this one but the model with ryzen 7 4800HS + GTX1650Ti + 16GB RAM + 1TB NVME and i'm pretty happy, overall this delivers solid 60fps on most modern games with medium/high setting like Resident Evil 2 & 3 Remake, RE7 & 8, Control and such, pretty happy with this, the only let down is that the fans makes to much noise but with a headtset it's ok.
Cool price for this configuration. Here, in eastern part of Europe for same price you can get only some s**t on Intel Pentium even on Black Friday :(
in the south Europe too
1:25 full size micro sd... that’s a new one...
So I was not the only one who caught that lol.
i guess they are making half sized readers nowadays...
:D
@@IcoKirov I cut my regular sd card in half since the back half of the card was just solid plastics and now it dosn't stick out as much pretty much snug against the laptop, its a half sized reader now!
@@Mmmm_tea no, it's a regular card reader with a half card :D
WAIT, THATS A MICROSD CARD READER?!?!?! I THOUGHT IT WAS A SPEAKER OUT GIRLL. I literally pugged my SD Card to my old laptop to transfer files to this new one via USB.
Edit: It does not have one. Its a speaker out girll…..
Full-sized micro sd is like a fully semi automatic weapon 😂
Trying to research what good gaming laptop (first one too!!) I could buy under the price of $700.... This helped. :) Thanks! Still researching, but have this on my wishlist...I like what I see/hear. 👍
I am watching your video ON That Laptop ! I really love it
8:00 now see, now we HAVE to see it on ultra :P
I got the one with the Ryzen 7 and the 1660ti 144hz, wish I could've got the 2060, but that 90wh battery is TOTTALLY worth it, seeing I am in college. They do make the 2060's with the 90wh battery, Great computer
i got this laptop recently but not at the price you got it for, but i belive it does come with the cabeling for the extended ssd it kinda easy to miss it in the box but the box has 3 extra compartment 2 for the ac power cable but also on the top it comes with the cable to upgrade the memory
thanks i really needed this. Ordered it its supposed to come this monday.
How is it?
@@juantamayo2992 pretty fast so far. Only tested fortnite but i was getting 70 to high 80c maybe low 90s on temps. Fps is about 130 on low and 60 on all maxed.
Not bad for the price! I can run some great games on medium settings and get good performance. Best Buy has it for $650 so that’s pretty close. I need a new laptop and I don’t mind paying a little extra to do some light gaming on it. Perfect for when I don’t feel like playing on my desktop
Hey man, did you maybe test can you play world of tanks on ultra high graphics?
Hows the laptop so far with 2 yrs of use? did you end up buying this?
great review ...thanks
This is very much like the acer nitro 5 that came out a few months ago but was about 200 bucks less and with a full rgb backlight vs just red and a smaller ssd built in.
This laptop worth all money man , i think i order that laptop soon!
Love your channel
I really like how this guy reviews shit, he's really thorough and gives you a great idea of the experience, as if you were there.
I thought u said his reviews are shit, English is being dumb againnnn
great review prime i wonder how it compares to the asus tuf 505dt gaming laptop running ryzen 5 1650 250gb nvm its got 1 stick of 8gb ram working on getting dual channel it runs just like the your review unit mine was about 699 after taxes and shipping but wasnt sure what one to get on a budget theres so many variations like the ryzen 7 with the 1650ti your version but over all an amazing pickup at these prices saves enough for a monitor and keybord and mouse awsome setup for on the go
Extra note from same laptop user(but 1660ti version): if you dont care the heat of the PC, you can play forza with ultra graphics(with 70-90 fps).
Just noticed the altered beast on the intro 😂❤️❤️❤️
Wish he did the emulation tests on this. I got the MSI version (same exact specs) would be interested in how it does with PCSX2, RPCS3, and Xenia. In a few days I should know first hand though.
how was it?!
Actually my laptop with the same spec could handel even 5GHz in extreme mode... Yes it sounds like jet engine when its on extreme mode which is obvious ... Some might say its a loud laptop but i figured out if you put the fan speed on windows mode insted of performance or extreme mode, its gunna be really really quieter with out any sacrificing the performence.
Id love to see this thing do some emulation
Hey man! Love your work. Will you be doing a video upgrading the ram and Storage on this one? And perhaps the cooling? This looks like a unit that has a lot of potential with some work that needs to be done.
He said noo
@@Syahky_Didit ur mom said yes
i really do like your video, thx
It's still surprising to see that AMD's CPUs became faster not only in multi-thread but in single-core also. Looking at your geekbench score this i5 is slower than my ryzen 5 and that's impressive stuff from team red.
ohh bro ryzem cant beat intel army that varies and can be different in same models
Is your razen5 have any thermo problems?
@@pabllo2004 nope, nothing seemed suspicious, I've completed RDR2 and everything worked fine
Actually, this one beats out the 4600H in single-core performance and is slightly better for gaming. In multi-core games, however, the ryzen 4600h will no doubt be better.
@@RandomGamingMoments925 yes starting from 10th gen intel's working on single core performance
Deserved a sub.
Nice, I have a similar model around £850 with 3 years warranty but mine has AMD Ryzen 4000 series
But most specs are the same
Nice video! I wonder how it will run in games like Roblox, Minecraft, and fortnite
I'm definitely getting this laptop now but with an rtx gpu and i5 11th gen.
How i envy your real black friday sale, in my country most of the black friday sale are fake. For example the LG 27UL850 before black friday is $500 while at black friday it is still $500 with a listed "orginal price" of $685.
Great machine, all those ports on the side are a pain though! Maybe better on the back?
I really want this now
If they had deal like this in Canada would buy one of these.
Nice video dude.
Amazing laptop! GTX 1650 TI is pretty powerful and gives a superb performance !
Check your box, you should have the SSD plug for the drive along with the screws...you’ll miss it if you don’t check the box properly
Hey, prime. I'd recommend drilling a few holes in the bottom casing. Another reviewer pointed out that the casing has several chokepoints due to the vents being too small. You if you want to improve thermals you might need to dremel some holes to turn the ebosements into fully fledged vents.
i have an asus a15 with the following specs of ryzen 7 4800h gtx 1660 ti 6gb 16 GB RAM 512gb ssd and its a beast .. the second day of owning btw
I think there is supposed to be a connector for the HDD. It must be in the box or the people who gave you the laptop ripped you off. In other reviews, there's a connector for HDD. Other than that excellent review. I'm buying this laptop
To everyone saying the 4800h/2060 version has overheating issues. It is true that while boosted up to the 4.3ghz max cpu clock it does throttle back, but when under Power options / processor power management/ (unlocked: processor performance boost mode) is disabled; the cpu never clocks aboves 2.9ghz and doesn't go above 65 degrees C under full load on all 8 cores for hours.
Lol well of course the thing is going to heat up when you over clock the CPU
so i have to disable the performance boost mood so the cpu doesnt overclock?
@@off-gridhillbillystyle3735 how do i prevent it from overclocking?
@@lavendxrfz2003 look up how much yours can handle . Just bump it .1.2.3 and test every time
2:02 sounds like the cstates not working properly. It will only turbo to 4.5 on a single core - but c states can mess with things especially when the other cores are slightly utilised by background tasks (which is always the case in reality).
Also Intel chips don't throttle at 98, they go full speed and power until they hit 100. Seems like the laptop itself is potentially set to throttle otherwise you would have seen it hit 100 then drop. I suppose it could have been power throttling instead, and just happened to reach 98.
Just got this today for $549.99 for my youngest. Solid machine, I'm impressed.
where did you buy?
I cant wait to get this...
I am in the market for a laptop maybe next year or the year after.I am leaning more into the ryzen apu's.Reason being it's a lot cheaper and better specs than what intel laptops offer.I only need it for ligbht gaming like emulators and titan quest/grim dawn.Other than that it's a work laptop.
1:25 Correction Not A Sd card reader but A Speaker cut out , its on both sides
Here is what I think as someone who has had it for 2 years. It's a good PC and runs game nice. It shuts off a lot tho and sometimes it acts like it's broken. it's also super tuff. it can withstand anything (other than water) also it works kind of well with other stuff, I use it will an ASUS monitor. it only has a few ports on the side tho. also, it's loud when it's off and hot as hell under (it burns your lap after some time) its a good PC I only fixed it 1 time in the 2 years for water damage. anyways its a good first PC or long term laptop. (its also good with work)
in my country, it's 699 and for heating noise, I don't worry because I mostly play when ima alone in the house, and if with friends on discord it's normally Minecraft or Fortnite and I think it can handle that. and for heat, I have an extra cooler with lets more air movement and has a cooler in. I have read that the audio is not the best but I normally use my wireless headset when I watch youtube or game. I also have read that it has difficulties with color but I don't mind and I don't think it's true. I also have read that it easily gets screen bleed or what it is called, also don't mind. just send in to fix it .and lastly but not least the poor material that you mentioned is a problem but ima buy a controller to play. I haven't bought it yet but I will in the start of august
nice review
Nice! My 2017 Acer Nitro 5 decided that it's integrated charging circuit wanted to bite the dust, so my only laptop is now a glorified desktop, needing to be plugged in to work and function with the battery still functional, the laptop just can't use one anymore. i5, 1050 non-ti version if anyone wanted to know.
I'd sell it. The 1050 can barely play games nowadays.
Lol these videos give me hope. Imma get one of these some day.
Prices will continue to go down.
It doesn’t matter the price, the performance is what matters
-Sand Wich 2020
Sure how not
@foxy the pirate fo th pi idk
actually the price matters for me cus im poor
Oof well don’t go cheap is wat I say cuz cheap=doodoo kaka
this is why im buying this gaming laptop
Oh yeah, this machine is absolutely being throttled back by that RAM. Not that it's not a high enough capacity as much as it's simply running in single channel mode, which has proven to gimp any CPU super hardcore. Getting a second memory module is very much needed. Even going with 2x4GB is preferable to a single 8GB stick.
Got this love it plays everything 😍
Is it good I bought it and waiting for delivering... did you face any problems heating sound
I got one today for Christmas it is so good!!
Im getting one in 3 days, is it good?
@Calm i hope so, i dont want to have issues with the graphic card etc
@@darkvr9051 the best plays everything 😍
The Nitro and TUF lines of laptops are infamously know for overheating, throttling and underperformance. Even though Acer has been working on solving their overheating issues over time, it's still better to save your money and go for anything on the ROG or the Predator lines, even if they're more expensive.
hm
Or... you could buy a cooling pad and save yourself 300$ :) those more expensive models have extras that make them overpriced while these have just enough performance for amateur gaming
well yeah, imma just build a desktop pc and its 60% less from these two
You should do a review on the $800 acer nitro 5 with rtx 2060 from Walmart
Wow.. look how fast that loaded... The web pages loaded so so fast...
I have a feeling some of it is the wifi quality
Nice. I’ve ordered one of these but with 16gb ram and a terabyte storage. Thanks for the review!
Is it dual channel?
The worst part about this laptop was the Power Supply died, and none of the Computer Stores had a replacement, had to go looking on some backend site and order one from France
I got a Lenovo with Ryzen 5, 1650Ti, 512gb storage, 16gb Ram for 560€ on sale. Original price was 1199€.
Only for $599??? That's so cheap, a price of the MX230 laptop in my country
It's really cheap
In my country at this price point we are getting just a ryzen 5 3500U +512gb SSD +8gb ram

I would love to see the 6 core CPU and 1660ti version of this laptop.
your a god just to let u know
I’d love to have this laptop, I don’t play many games (at least not new), I mainly play TF2, and I think that notebook, should be fine for making some videos.
I bought it on black Friday it is really is nice
@@Logan-px9ob amazing, hopefully I’ll get my hands in one of these notebooks soon
with mobile GTX 1650Ti the laptop's specs are supportive for high res gameplays.
crazy how the intel core2quad and the i5 are technically very old CPUs the core2quad being the oldest yet both are still very respectable processors today!
We have reached a point that you could have a old desktop from all the way back in 2006 that with some research, and a little upgrading here and there, still
be an excellent computing experience in 2020. impressive.
My core i5 desktop was free all because it upgraded to windows10 and it pissed the previous owner off and they didn't want it anymore. A whole 3+ghz worth of quad core processing with 8gb of ram! This must of been my best and most favorite pick find of all time! I am typing on it right now! I still can't believe it. Epic! I use it for internet, making music, playing emulators, and so much more! Had it running for almost a year and it only broke down once it was just the psu.
the connector for sa 2.5 inch drive is at the box try to search on the removable part of the box
Got the HP Pavilion instead of this with the weaker 1650 but with a ryzen cpu for $450. Been very pleased with ot so far
What is the model?

Quick question: I want to buy/build a PC, what CPU and GPU do I need for running GameCube Dolphin Emulator at 4k resolution?
$1599.00 in Australia, even with the conversions thats still a huge mark up.
Won't it be alot cheaper to buy it from best buy US and ship it to australia

Please do an Emulation Video on this Laptop!!!
5:53 : 2019
Yeah I miss that time
I recently was givin a Dell XPS L520X with an Nvidia Geforce GT 525m and somewhat crappy hard drive I put Linux on it and turned it into an emulation machine
I got the 1660ti A15 Asus TUF Gaming laptop and, I feel like the build quality is way better than any HP I've ever had.
Did you encounter any overheating issues ?
Want to buy one for myself but the reviews are pretty bad
@@BIGZcwalker thermals aren't great but, they aren't that bad either. It performs really well. Games don't start performing well and then over time perform worse. They are always consistently performing well. The system doesn't get pretty warm and the fans are pretty audible as well but, it's not an annoying sound. I find the machine to be pretty decent. It's also good for music production and video editing. I use FL Studios and Premiere Pro with no issues.
@@LelandHasGames wow, thank you for the fast reply, really calm my nerves with that
Oh btw i'm planning on buying the intel option cause it's more common in my country
Hope the heat isn't that bad like amd
I'm not gaming much, maybe an hour a day or so after studying and some photo editing stuffs
@@BIGZcwalker I'd go with the AMD option just because it's more energy efficient but, if Intel is all you got, you should be alright. I'd also recommend a ram and storage upgrade. Mine came with 8 gigs of ram and 512gb of SSD storage. I added an additional 8gb of ram and a 1tb NVMe SSD as well as a 500gb sata SSD. The ram may not be needed in your case but an additional sata SSD definitely would help.
@@LelandHasGames
I def would buy a 1t hdd for storing stuffs when buying the laptop
Thanks
Gracias, ahora solo me falta comprar el GTA :)
Got mine 2 days ago the sata cables in the box and the opening at the right is for the speaker already upgraded it to 16gb myself didn't know it had a second pcie though will get one later
@Julie Marinez 8gb ddr4 avanshare its 3200mhz couldn't find a 2933mhz one but I checked and it turns out the higher mhz ram will come down to match the lower one so it ok, plus I got in on a deal
This hit differently now :(
Slap another 8gbs of DDR4 ram in there then do a little config optimization and this thing seems like a serious steal. I highly recommend attaching a monitor and just using that instead of the built in screen.
What's 16 gb memory do you recommend I should buy for this
Jesus... 98 celcius... That's insane... That's almost boiling point
Even among the chip shortage it's still only 529 dollars USD. I don't know how Asus does it.
Eta there is a nitro 5 with a rtx 2060 16gb ram a 256gb ssd and a 1tb hard drive for $799. I do not remember the cpu, i think it might be 9th gen intel i5?
Its over at walmart website. I think walmart has had the best deals this year.
Can you do a review on the Lenovo Legion 5 ryzen 5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660ti AMD version ?
Please and thanks .. cause i havent seen a video about this specs no where.
