@@galahad5688 then one rather get a desktop lol laptop, no matter gaming or office, should be able to be portable with little to worry about battery life
Title "avoid this cpu" Entire review "everything is fine with it and it can keep up with higher tiers of cpu. Just that battery life is bad" Who the hell even comes up with these stupid titles ?
The battery life is bad because the CPU lacks integrated graphics. That's why you avoid it. Apparently everyone in this comment thread didn't bother to watch the video.
I ordered this laptop with same specs but with more ssd. The reason I don’t care is because I wont be existing where there are no power outlets. Yes it is nice to have more battery life, but those laptops that given considerable battery life (and have higher screen resolutions) cost several hundred dollars more. I want to use it at several places, but I have power outlets and external monitors there. So I have to critique your title as too click baity.
For anyone who was thinking to buy but after this video is reluctant let me assist you all.. this is best laptop for gaming at this price point if your budget is higher then no question you can have whichever you want but for the price normally a gamer would not game unplugged and still it gives 3 hour battery life at 60 whr battery ...and similar graphics with intell 12450h also last the same on battery despite having igpu so chill and i have used this laptop the thermals are actually really good cpu usage never go above 60 percent and gpu temp always below 70 degrees so for long term its a good point to consider.
Absolutely agree with you. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and I am surpised with gaming performance but also on how quiet and smooth it is when on balanced mode. We should always compare apples to apples: this is a budget gaming laptop not a pro and in its price range there are barely one or two alternatives to compare with.
The only criticism seems to be battery life which at 2:10 is shown to be approx 3.5 hours. it is then not contrasted with an IGP LOQ 7735 4060 model but with LOQ's running different CPU/GPU's that get 20% longer battery life. Do they have the same battery mah? How does battery compare when actually gaming? Not sure the title conclusion chimes with the otherwise great review. My summary would be "Bargain budget gaming laptop (20% less battery when non-gaming)". I've seen people claming 6+ hours by turning everything down on similar non IGP setups? Interested to see a re-review focusing solely on battery life of the 7435 chips with "tips and tweaks for battery eeks" as it's low price makes it highly relevant in the budget gaming arena. It would also be handy if the charts showed the release price for each laptop to check we're not comparing apples with oranges.
@@nightbot4954You could get 20% off in July so about £650 (inc VAT!) with no o/s, 1tb, 24gb, RTX4060. Now more like £760. The most similar model WITH IGP I now see is closer to £1000. So it's a misleading conclusion when we get no comparison to a very similar model with IGP re price, battery etc. In July the review should have concluded "Best budget laptop in history (for the price) - Buy now", though it WAS on their deals page. Anyone in the market for a low budget gaming pc, with any knowledge snapped it up on sight.
@@nightbot4954 I replied at length but over zealous RU-vid censor bot deleted it afaik. Forgot to clipboard it, not retyping. Terrible platform to discuss
True what Jarrod said. I just bought this laptop (infact I watched this video on it) and while the gaming performance is expected from 4060, the battery life is pretty bad. To workaround it, I always use battery saver mode when i'm using for office works which can last me for 4 - 6 hour and that is enough for me. I don't think there's any reason to ever play games without it plugged on a laptop IMO.
I have a laptop i9 from a few years ago, the integrated graphics failed and was creating crazy glitches, lucky I figured out the problem and use the laptop permanently on discrete graphics without any problems.
By their own "Ryzen 7000" mobile naming graph the 7435HS should be a Ryzen 3 even though no H or HS Ryzen CPU is a Ryzen 3 It being a 16 thread chip that has a model name below the 12 thread 7535HS doesn't help either Don't get me started on the "Ryzen 5 *7235HS* "
Don't know much about computers, but after watching your videos extensively I just bought a Lenovo Loq 15 with Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS CPU and RTX 4060, hope its a good computer and I can play ETS2 and ATS on ultra graphics :) keep up the good work man & congrats on 700k!
M using this laptop, and so far i dont miss the igpu. with some gpu undervolting, and power saving mode, i can do intensive work for 2 hours, and less intensive work for 3.5 hours... If you play games, this is beast and temprature is also very very low due to lack of igpu cpu runs cooler. backup is still more than my previous nitro 5 with 5600h. display is amazing and gsync & 100%srgb really makes a difference. i dont notice any ghosting or motion blur while playing games.. You can just buy a 65w or 100w charger and charge it anywhere via type c if concerned about battery life.
Glad to see comment about the temp. I was considering buying this laptop, didnt care about battery life but was worried about the temp when playing games
What a misleadung title. I have this exact laptop and its price/performance is amazing. Perfect for 1080p gaming and work and battery life dont matter everyone plays with laptop plugged in. Actually it can even play most games on 1440p monitor.
Bro's coping, why would you even buy a laptop if you dobn't care about battery life. Just build a PC instead dude, you'll get much better performance for much less money. Cope harder.
@sagittariusa581 u tripping. I'm looking for one and I don't care at all about battery life. My previous laptop didnt even had a battery lol. Who in this world run laptop on the battery?
Might as well save money on the 7840HS if it's available for less money, almost the same thing in terms of performance shown in this video with the Legions.
I should have talked more about the naming scheme, because this is a perfect point - the 7535HS has fewer cores and threads, so it's actually a lower tier part as far as raw CPU performance goes, but it has an iGPU and has a higher number than the 7435HS, so people may just assume it's better in every way.
Hey Jarod! Do you know a good power bank or alternative to charge a gaming laptop when traveling? As you know, gaming laptop batteries are quite quick to run out. How do you deal with this?
Glad you mentioned it, because I was sick of explaining it to other people shouting: “Look at the price!”. I already informed my audience a few days ago that I would not post any offer of a laptop with Ryzen 5 7235HS + Ryzen 7 7435HS processors.
@@JarrodsTechI get extreme screen flickering when the system tries to use it. So I had to disable the igpu in bios. Also Asus software is not good. Its completely stable in games and performs well, just when using web browsers or some other apps with hardware acceleration does the problem appear. Can't wait for strix halo apu.
My main PC has a Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU and it's a beast lmao, it's a mini PC, it's surprising to see that some AMD CPUs aren't that great, my 7840Hs is so powerful(for a mobile CPU).
Its not that some cpus arent great, its just that the video has no legit point whatsoever and its completely trash It like arguing that 13900kf is bad compared to 13900k only because lacking almost useless graphics. Any of these 7000 series arent great anyways but for totally different reason and that is that they have only 16mb l3 cache and so are worse than deskt0p 5000 series.
@@filippetrovic845 he said its bad for people who use the laptop on battery, if you don't then you are not targeted , and it's good for you actually its bad, since there are other laptops with a 7840hs with better cpu performance and an igpu and for cheaper, so why would you get the worse cpu anyway
I saw this video yesterday and I still bought this exact model today 😊 I'm gonna be plugged in all the time anyway and $799 for a 4060 Laptop is pretty epic. I was gonna get a 4050 model until I saw this price. Great video with good information!
This is just a desperate attempt from AMD to compete on the low-price segment with Intel. Pretty pointless if you ask me. I bet this will be discontinued within 6 months.
@@Ararion The 2023 models with qhd screens do have 100 percent sRGB. The one which Jarrod got also had that but yes most 2023 loqs don't which is why I personally went for acer nitro 16
Step 1 download afterburner step 2 lock the clock at a non boost clock speed. step 3 undervolt until you reach the same power consumption of the iGPU while doing everyday tasks (7-15w) step 4 save the profile so, when you are doing document your 4060 will act at half speed like a normal igpu. When you game, switch the profile and enjoy your powerful external GPU. Problem solved.
the 4060 is officialy stated to run at a minimum of 35w. and undervolt that extreme will never work. plus 99% of users wont even know what you are talking about if you tell them about this, it is extrememly predatory for the masses
@@davitdavid7165 it's minimum 35w when 100% of use. Not 35w when idle state. So if you lock the clock and do a massive undevolt you'll probably don't get the 3w power like an iGpu but you can have a massive uplift in battery life while being able to do all the normal tasks. Ps: windows and Informatics need skills. It's a choice to be an informed consumer or not
Luckily it's doesn't solve the issues, while using igpu only, on idle battery life still sucks. There's an issue on motherboard, some part draw more power, causing overheat and later motherboard getting fried. It's on every LOQ 15xx model, my local lenovo repair center already confirmed there's a lot of cases like this
Can we refund a lenovo laptop even if it hasn't had any problem yet? I had the LOQ 15IRX9 with i5-13450hx 3050 one, its been 2 months since i bought it online but i havent had any issue other than the battery drop. (I'm scared of the motherboard issue thats happening nowadays)😢
I cannot, I don't have any information other than what has been reported in the news recently - which is a mixture of things, Intel apparently saying the issues don't affect mobile, but then some different problem, we will have to wait and see.
On the upside... not need for mux This is also why im thinking about getting a pre owned laptop off ebay instead of official retailers. Models in AU just suck
It's a shame au gets the short stick when it comes to technology. Before samsung s24 all previous models were exynos which sucked. Internet speeds aren't great and now laptop cpu just aren't good
In India🇮🇳, Dell G15 Ryzen 7 7840HS 16GB DDR5 165Hz 512Gb is INR 1,08,890/- which is USD 1300.61$ and Lenovo LOQ R7 7435HS 24GB DDR5 144Hz 512Gb is INR 86,990/- which is USD 1039.07$ I should probably go with the LOQ😅
Are they though? Like, are you just one out of 5-10 vocal people? How many are there? I'm sure from your perspective it seems bad, you have to deal with it, I just can't get an idea of how widespread it actually is myself and it's hard to get any useful info from Lenovo.
Cpu is old but as long as it does not bottleneck the 4060, I see no problem with this laptop.. this is the cheapest 4060 laptop as well.. like way way cheaper..
I have LOQ with 7840HS + RTX 4050 and 7435HS + RTX 4060 at same price I do CPU-Heavy tasks And play GPU intensive games when free I am inclined towards more 7840HS + RTX 4050 But the 7435HS + RTX 4060 is steal deal and I can't find 4060 cheaper than that What should I do ?
In my country, india, the LOQ mother board issue, and the battery drain issue have spread like plague.. most of the LOQ users in my country suffered from this problem..
I guess because it's better than wasting the chips, might as well try use them for something. The only issue I have with it is unless you know what a 7435HS is, you'd probably just buy it without knowing the limit of no iGPU.
Hi want to ask is it worth it to buy for studying and playing some triple a game my courses have some basic graphics and design is it worth it first time buying laptop
I thought this was a thing on intels new meme, where nothing you can do, just wait for the patch in august and hope your thing doesn't crash. either way, it doesn't affect me, my old busted laptop has one purpose and it's to feed my factorio addiction.
I wonder if that patch will go out for laptop cpu's since they said they aren't affected... at least that's kinda good news something is being done and addressed and may totally fix it instead of everything being up in the air with nothing said lol.
So Can i go for this loq or dell g15 please reply, They are currently available for the same price. And as mentioned in the video the loq's battery life is bad but the same goes for dell g15 even with integrated graphics, So which one should I get.
People don't by gaming laptop battery life and if you enable the Nvidia battery saving features then you will get very similar to an integrated vpu from Intel
@@AlphaNOVA69 well, I did post this about a month I go, I'm pretty sure it was about a laptop and it's battery life and if that's what you're talking about, then you can go and looking at video app and you can change the battery life settings and then you can actually get half decent battery life from your gaming laptop. My comment though not very well worth. It was supposed to say that gamey laptops are not designed as office computers. You're obviously not going to get the best backs your life out of them. And I am guilty of that.. I just spent three and a half thousand pounds on the laptop with two hours. Battery life and well it's my own fault, really? Because I'm using it for letters and work are for its entangled purpose, which was gaming. You can get better life out of the gaming laptop. You just have to be a bit more clever about it. You have to change the CPU settings to throttle it to like five percent when on battery and you have to do the same with your graphics card in the settings menus of the Nvidia app. It's not a gnarkey comment I was serious don't buy gaming laptops for works. I made that mistake. You're not going to get amazing. The battery life out of it. And well, that's just the way they are. And that's what annoyed me about the video.
Hoping I'm not commenting too late for you to see, but I am currently stuck between an ASUS TUF A15 2021 vs 2023 model. The former only has a 48 Wh battery which would mean low battery life, and the 2023 model comes with a 90 Wh battery, but includes the Ryzen 7 7435HS. For me, the longevity of my laptop comes ahead of performance, so I'm stuck wondering which one would have a longer battery life, and which one is more likely to last longer in general. I would appreciate it immensely if I could get an answer.
If you're buying a gaming laptop, it doesn't really matter if it has an igpu or not, because these laptops typically offer a maximum of 3 to 4 hours of battery life. gaming laptops are meant to be used while plugged in
@@gamingwarrior3108 tbf though a good gaming laptop nowadays can get up to like 6+ hours of battery life (ie; laptops with higher tier Ryzen chips), yes you usually plugged it in for gaming but some people also used their gaming laptop for their workflow and such
What about the variants with i5 12/13gen hx ? I really want to buy this laptop but im scared that the motherboard will break and the battery will drian very fast 😢
Sorry mate but I think on this occasion, you're DEAD WRONG!! I've used all my gaming laptops almost exclusively for gaming whilst plugged into a wall socket. I have zero use for an iGPU. If I want to look at the internet or watch The Boys, I'll do it either on my phone or the TV. And this LOQ 15 has one humongous advantage over other gaming laptops...its price! I paid £700 ($US 900) for mine which is already cheap. Had I waited another 4 weeks, I could have picked it up for £622 ($US 800). I don't care if I'm in a minority of one but I absolutely applaud Lenovo & AMD for bringing this ultra cheap but very capable gaming laptop to the market. I predict it will sell like hot cakes despite your 'avoid' recommendation.
Hi there. I owe this one too and I am surprised by its performance and value. I am also surprised by the torrent of negative feedback this machine attracts by "experts"! Anyway. Today I came across an offer in my local market with a victus model carrying 7840hs and rtx 4070 for the same money I paid for the loq. I was initially disappointed thinking I rushed into buying the loq but doing some research I found out that same games perform better in my (our) machine than in the victus with better specs. For example plaguentale requiem reaches 95 fps on youtube videos with the victus 4070 whereas i get 115fps easily, same settings. My idea? I would appreciate your opinion on this. Ty
@@loukasbalomenos2600 I am really surprised you can get that particular HP Victus for the same money. That model isn't available in the UK but I found it in France for the eye watering price of €2,850 ($US 3,100)! Here you can get the Victus with a 4060 for £899 but that comes with a crappy i5-12500H & a 250 nit screen...and that's STILL £200 more than I paid for my LOQ. Under normal circumstances, I'd say if you can get a 4070 Victus for $US 900, then go for it but TBH, it sounds way too good to be true. The lower FPS says to me they mean the 4050 & the 4070 is a typo!
I have this processor in my LOQ, it also has RTX 4050 with 6gb vram and 24gb ram. Works just fine for my usage wich is playing World of Warcraft usually plugged to external monitor or plugged to a power outlet while traveling longer periods of time.
@@unionofslavstanrepublics2317 its a moot point anyways, desktop replacement have never seen battery life as a crucial department, rather the mobile workstation needs
I am one of those here who have actually bought it. I made a conscious choice of sacrificing battery life for performance being on a tight budget. The title of the video is a bit of a let-down for us owners, but you actually point some of its merits through your review. My experience with the machine confirms your data. So I think a fair presentation would be to place the product in a "value for money" context. At least in Greece I couldn't find a more attractive option (including 3 years warantee and xbox ultimate pass for 3 months!) But yes, potential buyers should be warned about the limitations in autonomy.

@@Raikou1914Καλησπέρα φίλε μου. Αγόρασα ακριβώς αυτό που παρουσιάζει ο Jarrod εδώ, δηλαδή amd 7435hs με κάρτα 4060. Εάν το θέλεις για gaming σκίζει, τρέχει τα πάντα ακόμα και σε ultra settings αλλά ξεχνάς το τροφοδοτικό στην πρίζα. Σε μπαταρία δεν βγάζει ούτε 30 λεπτά gaming. Για σερφαρισμα κλπ με το ζορι 3 ωρες. Ο λόγος είναι ότι ο amd που φοράει δεν έχει κάρτα γραφικών οπότε όλα περνάνε από την nvidia η οποια βεβαια ρουφαει ρευμα. Άλλο προβληματάκι είναι τα ηχεία. Θα αποδώσουν μόνο όταν έχεις ανοιχτή μια app που συνοδεύει το laptop αλλά και πάλι έχω ακούσει πολύ καλύτερα. Για τα λεφτά του είμαι super ικανοποιημένος γνωριζοντας όμως ότι ουσιαστικά ειναι deskrop replacement. Έχει βγάλει όντως και η asus ένα tuf με τα ίδια specs οπότε διαλέγεις αυτό που σου ταιριάζει αισθητικά. Πάντως για τα loq του 2024 ακούστηκαν πολλά για καμμενα motherboards (ειδικά όσα φοράνε intel) . Εάν θέλεις καλύτερη αυτονομία μπαταρίας και λίγο καλύτερα specs υπάρχει στη loq σειρά νέος επεξεργαστής amd 8 με integrated graphics , όπου να' ναι θα βγει και Ελλάδα. Εμένα με ένοιαζε μόνο το θέμα τιμής και από αυτήν την άποψη είναι super. Τώρα έπαιζα plague tale και πιάνει χαλαρά 110 fps με ultra graphics. Οθόνη OK όχι κατι τρομερό αλλά ούτε χάλια. Ελπίζω να βοήθησα!

Here in the UK it was about £200 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 8845HS version last week and cheaper than the Intel ARC version, so ordered it for £645 with RTX 4060 and 1TB drive. There doesn't seem to be anything close in price here with an RTX 4060 and although the screen isn't that bright at least the sRGB coverage is decent, better than the some of the other lower budget systems. For this price I think the lack of iGPU compromise is fine, although worth warning people about it.
for me the lack of iGPU is a plus, one less thing to disable, since i always check if a laptop has a mux switch or no iGPU before i settle on buying it.
@@arvindsingh2168 So that i can disable the iGPU during gaming, editing or any GPU intensive tasks also i detest Optimus since it was launched. YMMV as always and for me when buying gaming laptops having MUX switch or no IGPU the better. Gaming laptops in my opinion should not have Optimus
Hmm, the 7535HS has a higher number but it's actually a weaker performing part with 6 cores / 12 threads - BUT it has integrated graphics, so better battery life - depends which of those is your priority.
i have it for about 2 months , super nice laptop, low temps great performance !Before that i had an hp victus with ryzen 5 5600h and gtx 1650 and for some reason the loq lasts longer unplugged ,in gaming it is certain that lasts longer and in youtube most likely !I do not know exactly why but it is 100 % true!Also it does play in the same settings and almost same fps plugged and unplugged which was not the case with the old one which did have integrated graphics! Cpu and gpu is super conservartive in power might be the reason.
I would go with a laptop like this but is there any difference in thermals/fan noise when compared to laptops with integrated graphics with or without a mux switch? Also is there any meaningful change in battery life with an AMD gpu?
I didn't bother with the full fan recording setup just basic thermals here, but I can't say I noticed or thought about it during testing, didn't seem any louder.
btw , i got the HP Victus 16 , it's also very poor battery life , just 2 hours office work , 60% battery life gone . the LCD also very worst compare to other 45% NTSC panel .
Of course, but we won't see it until next year, and then decent prices and availability will be months after launch, so depends if you want to actually use something anytime soon. 4080 should still offer excellent performance for years.
so far we only have rumors and most of those are on the desktop side. I do like the g16, but would probably ait till then. When we know more about the gpu and vendors are clearing out space and lowering prices more it might be a smart buy
4080 was such a huge leap for laptop gaming it can play things so well and now with dlss and frame generation on top of it I wouldn't worry about missing out. It's almost like a 3090 desktop gpu in a laptop which is crazy and 8-12 months waiting for the new laptops is a really long time you could be gaming so up to you.
I bought my Lenovo Legion with its Nvidia 2060 GPU in September 2020. I only ever used it for gaming whilst it was plugged into a wall socket, so for 99% of the time, the iGPU was redundant & the dGPU did all the heavy lifting. Over the passing years, that laptop saw A LOT of use...and 4 years later, it's still working perfectly. All this talk about laptops lacking an iGPU failing prematurely is a load of old twaddle! However, whilst the Legion is as fast now as when I first bought it, it struggled to keep up with modern, AAA games, particularly The Last Of Us (brilliant game, buy it!). Which is why I recently bought myself a LOQ 15 with the 7435HS & the 4060...and honestly, for what I paid for it, it's brilliant!!
Good day. I would like to inquire about the integrated graphics capabilities of the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 laptop equipped with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS Processor. Kindly provide me with the relevant specifications and confirm if the device indeed features integrated graphics. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
anything is better than intel i9-14900HX. That cpu is unstable AF. I needed to disable my optimus to prevent my G16 Rog Strix from Blue screening all the time. I don't really care about battery life tbh. I don't ever game without plugging the laptop in and the Battery is only important to get the needed time to properly turn the laptop off if the power grid goes out.
Great video. I am curious on your opinion on Ultra 185H as a viable gaming CPU or not? These benchmarks are hampered by Omen low wattage GPU so doesn;t give a good idea. Thank you
It's not my favorite, in RDR2 in particular it seems lower than 4060 with 4070, and that was in the Alienware m16 R2 and Zephyrus G16 (video coming soon).
I mean, the biggest problem here is nVidia GPU's and their awful power consumption on battery, I get it, no iGPU no excuses, but seriously, nVidia no excuses either.
Good news for those of us in Europe; this Lenovo LOQ is or was just on sale for around €900 (RTX 4060, 24 GB DDR5, 1TB SSD) which is an excellent price (in Europe) for those specs and definitely worth the trade if you don't mind the lack of an iGPU. For comparison, the
The loq 16 60wh battery is upgradable to 80wh right? Its the best option in my price range with qhd 165hz no other 4060 laptop has that here but im just worried about if i will be able to upgrade the battery and if the speakers will sound bad
You know that it's pretty hard to get an genuine original battery and if you do manage to get one, it will cost you around 100$ right 😂. And also neither the Legion 5 has good speakers because from 2021 model and upward they decided to use Nahimic instead of Harman Kardon
Buy this if you want raw performance in future too 3050 or 4050 will need All upscaling dlss and things this one won't swet much for high 1080P Raw performance even in future
It really depends how much idle battery life matters to you. One thing this may affect is the legal status of the laptop, as some US states have regulations on idle power consumption of laptops due to energy policy, and it's somewhat questionable if it would meet these demands with the GPU on.
I almost thought that this video is about intel raptor lake's issue when i saw the title and thumbnail. And speaking of which, did the raptor lake's degradation problem occur on laptop as well? Or it's only the desktop counterparts?
