I have a 5900x, 64gb ram, 3070 and 144hz ultrawide desktop PC, so I wasn't trying to get a desktop replacement laptop ... but a few months ago I got a Lenovo Legion 7 Slim with a Ryzen 7 5800h, 16gb, 500gb NVME, RTX 3060 and 1440p 165hz IPS screen for £1100. It's mostly for work, but I play a few games when I travel too. I've been very impressed with it so far, and since I play Cyberpunk 2077 on my big rig the laptop mostly plays StarCraft 2, Civilisation VI, Mass Effect Legendary Edition and it runs these at max settings 1440p flat out whilst in power saving mode, meaning it's cool and fairly quiet. I only need to turn it up to balanced mode and it runs the Witcher 3 nearly maxed out at 1440p well over 60fps. Laptop hardware has come a really long way for efficiency and performance in only a couple of generations...
One thing i've learned, is that it's not just the graphics card, but the little things that make all the difference, the typing experience, the touchpad, the screen, whether you can plug in to a docking station over usb c and charge as well as do video, etc...
Agreed. However, its hard to achieve all that without entering the mid/high tier territory. Besides, most people are only concern about performance and temp anyway.
@@dokidoki5850 well do you have any suggestions for mid/high tier which is not very heavy and noisy? I hate fan noises Special since I have Helios 300 and it's bothering me for a long time
I bought an HP OMEN 17 2022 laptop with an Intel Core i7 12700H CPU, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti laptop GPU, 17" 1440p 165 Hz LCD screen, and 2 TB Micron NVMe SSD for 1899 USD or roughly 1664 GBP back in July of this year from Micro Center. This thing is stupid fast, and I've been playing Elden Ring at 1440p maxed settings at 59-60 FPS constant. I'm excited to try out games that have Ray Tracing and DLSS.
The jump from the 3060 laptop to the 3070 is insane...almost double you can buy now and replace after 2 years for this price,the 3060 is more the enough for gaming and I wouldn't the something weaker then the 3060,the difference in price is not big
@@kaishajacobye Out of curiosity, what are most components thermally rated up to? I'm trying to get into getting a "gaming" laptop, which is more just a powerful laptop I can use for my job while having the luxury for games during any downtime I have at work. Being able to run CAD while also playing DRG with the boys on lunch after building server/AV racks would be nicey nice.
@@FriezaSucks CPUs rate upto 105 degrees celcius depending on CPU. 3000 series GPU are rated upto 87 degrees celcius. CPUs average temperatures while gaming is around 90 degrees celcius, and the average GPU temps with max wattage is about 80 degrees celcius. These are normal temps for a gaming laptop
Nah, it didn’t, only cp2077 really kill 3060 due to 6Gbs Vram so 3060 got struggle with frame rate. Other than that 3070 is like 15% faster than 3060. Or some game 3060 only 5% slower than 3070 like csgo
I'm looking for a solid mobile workstation -- I type for a living and travel for work, so I often need something that works straight out of the backpack. What I care about: 1) Durability/Build 2) Built-in 4G LTE (or maybe 5G), anything that can keep me on the internet if I find myself in a place with no wi-fi 3) Battery Life 4) Keyboard Quality 5) Power (it is nice to have that little bit of punch when running multiple applications) What I don't care about: 1) Gaming performance (I'm a console guy) 2) RGB/Blingy stuff I've been trying to find the ideal mobile workstation for me for a few weeks now and have found nothing, please help. Also, love the channel!
You do not need to spend alot at all there is like a 1000 awesome games from the last decade that look and plays great and alot of indies that are awesome aswell. i think a 1650TI is pretty decent and budget friendly. If you dont care about the newest of the newest AAA games on highest settings. i can recommend a Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with Ryzen 5 4600H, 1650TI, 120HZ, 512GB SSD, 4GB VRAM, it comes with 8GB ram but you can upgrade it to 16GB ram for dirt cheap. its a great budget laptop trust me.
i bought a lenovo idea pad gaming 3 back in 2022 it worked for awhile but it is definitely a pain in the ass to play games on, graphics are great, no glitches, but it gets HOT! The fans don’t work right either. my computer got so hot that my screen broke. I always had my computer elevated to were it can breathe and cool itself, i cleaned the fans every couple months. now i can’t even play valorant on it Without it crashing. works for a good amount of time but definitely not a gaming laptop to buy if you want it to last more then 4/5 years.
I bought a clearance Omen laptop about 4 years ago. Full 1070, 144 Hz 17’ screen is perfecto for 1080p and I don’t see myself upgrading any time soon. I didn’t really need the i7, i5 would hav been fine and easier to cool.
The evolution of price and specs is fast. I bought a Laptop 7 years ago for £1600 with a GTX 965m. Now upgrading to a used MSI Katana with RTX 3060 for £400 ☠️
Man, I just got a Steal of Deal! Picked up an Asus G14 Ryzen 5800HS and RTX 3060 for $799!! I upgraded the RAM from 12Gb to 24Gb and the SSD from 512Gb to a nice 1Tb . It plays everything so well at native 1080p I might drop a 2/4Tb SSD in there. I absolutely love it. Still, playing everything at native 4k completely maxed out on my XFX 7900 XTX (3GHz:) and 5950x is still amazing, obviously. For a little bitty laptop though, I'm amazed 👏
I am 2 for 2 of buying an $899 Asus Laptop every 5 years. my 2015 laptop was kinda obsolete about when I bought it being a 2 core 4t "i7" with an 840m gpu but my 2020 laptop still kicks ass and will likely keep me happy until 2025 being a 4800H (8c/16t) with a rtx 2060.
I actually think that the production value of this video is quite high. I like the quaity of it. This is a relatively big channel but boy oh boy, the views are low... Guess not so many of your subs care about gaming laptops? Well, idk. The presentation was solid nevertheless. However I'd like to point out that not only the model of the laptop components should be mentioned, but also the wattage they are allowed to run at. I saw that 3070ti getting beaten or tied by that 3070 again and again. Is the difference between those two so narrow? No... There's not enough power available... Also, avg fps really don't tell the whole story... They never did... So... To anyone that cares enough in order to read this comment: See reviews and benchmarks for the specific laptop you are interested in. There are 3070s out there that perform worse than some 3060 Tis. Watch those reviews, do some research in order to find out if the GPU is being given enough power to strech its legs and also... DO A FAVOR TO YOUR PRETTY EYES and buy a laptop with an IPS panel... Don't get a TN one... Please, from the bottom of my heart and for everything that is dear to you, DON'T O_O
My hp elite book 1040 G5 works just fine for me, i dont plan on upgrading anytime soon but if i should upgrade 1040 G8.... Hp are so good and lovely, their security is really good.
Thank you so much you deserve a sub honestly I’ve looked at many other videos and they all are so much money like 1000-2000 even when it said "budget" in the title
16 is good. I use 16GB in my desktop with a 3080 and 3800X. not the highest end possible but games normally use around 10GB RAM at most at max settings. Current gen consoles have 16 GB shared memory between GPU and RAM. I've read the GPU can use up to 12GB so that really only leaves 4GB for RAM when doing so. Games will be made to run on current consoles so 16GB should not be an issue for awhile and upgrading is easy to do if needed.
Great vid. Really struggling at the moment to decide between getting a something along the lines of a Legion 5 pro or a Asus tuf dash F15. Budget around £1500 (hopefully including upgrades to the ram and storage). What do we reckon? Trying to nurse my dying Dell Inspiron gaming 7000 from 2017 to the Black Friday deals...
For that money I would suggest the new Helios 300 or the HP Omen 15. Both have a Ryzen 5800H and 3070 I think. Not sure of the Helios exactly but it's the new 2022 version (don't get the 2021 and 2020 ones they're bad). The Omen 2020 and 2021 are good.
As an owner of the Acer NItro 5, the keyboard does have a 4-zone RGB lighting backlit keyboard and you can control the colours with Nitrosense. Well I'm not sure if the one in the video is the same model or type, but the specs are the same as mine.
Mine has trouble playing certain games, it plays Overwatch 2 just fine, chugged trying to play spiderman, glitched out trying to play Marvel Midnight Sun to the point cutscenes would rewind and start over and that game is less pretty than Spider-Man, and freezes in the middle of Call of Duty 4 MW (The old one!) Cutscenes, not even gameplay which runs smooth but a cutscene and it's consistent.
So if we consider i7 12700H and 3070ti laptop, why not consider something like MSI GP66? It's for 1,5k right now and had one of the highest fps in games compared to other similar spec laprops due to power allocation. GPU on that thing can use 150W and that took the FPS to 3080 levels. And if we're already there, why not consider GE66 or even GE67(but this one come close to Aorus 17 price, but it's OLED 240HZ!!). TBH, I'm a bit lost at the available options. There's also Legion 5i Pro with same specs but apparently better build quality. Lot's of options to consider nowadays
Thank you for the video and information! I am currently in the market for a new laptop. I will be running weather models and live streaming most of the time. What do you recommend? I currently have a Lenovo Laptop with a Core i7-7700U with 16gb ram, it runs good, just getting older and need to think about upgrading. Thank you for your time
Just picked up a laptop for my sister. Its the Alienware M17 with a 6850M XT (12GB) and Ryzen 6900HX, 16 GB of RAM, 1TB m.2 SSD and 1080p 360HZ 17.3 inch display for 1,323USD. Dell was having some nice sales. 900 off retail price plus another coupon for 27 off using honey. Origin was also having a sale on their Desktop replacement that had a desktop CPU(i7-11700K) and 3080 (16GB) ,4K screen for 1364. I thought about buying that but its a bit bulky and might crush her. just checked and sale is still up as of now for the New EON17-X. I think the thing runs at 300 watts so plenty of power for the CPU and GPU.
I have a RTX 3060 Ryzen 7 6800h Lenovo Legion, and what can I say, It’s great, I upgraded it too 32 gigs ddr5 and 2 tb Samsung 980pro, along with the stock pcie, so I would definitely recommend the laptop, and maybe upgrade it if you want…
Wunderful Video! Thank you for the great comparison! For the next time, i wish a 17" Version of this Video. (Sure sure, the Aorus is a 17" model, but the others are not...) Bye :)
Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with Ryzen 5 5600H and GeForce Rtx 3050Ti with upgradeable 8Gb memory and 250gb ssd has to be the best overall laptop you can get for the price imo they are currently $800 but best buy has a deal for $530 rn
A bit unrelated to this video. With rising costs in the UK, I'd like some advise from you or your viewers. Thinking of retiring my gaming PC and replacing it with a Mini PC. I mean do you think it is possible to bring my Platinum PSU along for the ride and build a energy efficient PC?
I brought a aorus 15 for €1700. It has a rtx 3070 ti and Intel 12700 H. I'm happy with the purchase and I hope it lasts 5+ plus years because I wanted specs that are future resistent. Some of devs are coming out with games with recommended requirements set at Vram requirements at 6Gb. I even saw some games that recommended 8 GBs of Vram. This would mean that there is a good chance that in less than 2 years you won't be able to play games on high settings on the RTX 3060 laptop and in 4 years might not be even able to meet the minimum requirements for some games.
Well None of these products were in my store available because mostly there were discounted prices on these laptops that contains i7/i9 processors with at least from 11th gen, but with rtx 3050 ti GPU. At last I decided to try the Lenovo Legion 5 Laptop that I did buy for new year and Guess I'm enough happy to have my first experienced gaming laptop,At last screen with 165hz refresh rate and rtx 3070.
Battery life in gaming laptop? 😁 Funny 👍 Just buy laptop with 140w rtx3060 and 5800h. This will fit for next 6 years 👌 In 2020 i bought Acer Nitro with i5 10300 gtx1650ti. For me its more than anough for online games 👍 Especially with external monitor fhd 75hz, mouse and keyboard 😊
hello @PC centric im selling my 3070 3700x 16gb desktop for a laptop but I want almost the same performance if not more is a 3070ti 140w i7-12700H 16gb laptop gonna do just that? its the msi crosshair one
Bought Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 ryzen 7 5800h rtx 3050 16gb ram 120hz display for 75k INR (~900USD) I'm happy about my purchase. I would've bought the 3060 variant if I had more money
I think MSI one is great I Dont have even a $ more then 600 And in sale i can Buy it Plus i am not that big of a gamer All i need is something i can use to learn and work So i think its a good choice and i can very easily buy a 8 gb ram stick Sometime after and once i have money in future i can Directly get a High end one to not have any problems
Hey Im about to buy my first gaming laptop and I need your help which one is better in gaming performance -MSI GF63-11UC-262 CI7-11800H RTX 3050 16GB 512GB NVMe 15.6 144Hz,Win11 -asus rog strix g15 g513rc hn007w 144HZ, Amd ryzen 7(6800H) - 16gb ram, 512 ssd, rtx 3050 4gb Please reply 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
The answer is $0.00 Just get a really powerful desktop, a generator, a big backpack and carry it around where you go, and use a vr headset to see the display
Hello! Can you pls suggest the best between Dell G15 5520, 3060 (2022)/ Asus F17 3060 (2022) / Legion Pro My purpose is for video production & MUX switch is my priority.
Personally, I am currently searching for an allround Laptop somewhere in the below 1500$ price range. My needs are at least an RTX 3060, 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage, as I am quite a data hoarder. The difficult thing about this is that I am also very much depending on battery life, needing at least 8 to 10 hours of regular office workloads. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
If you are still looking the Alienware m17 R5 Gaming Laptop with the specs you asked for is going for 1100 USD on sale right now. has a RYZEN processor and 97 wh battery. cant get much better than that in a laptop.
@@clownavenger0 I actually have stumbled across that device myself, but decided against it due to the screen being 17 inches across. Since that laptop would primarily be used on the go, I think it's too large. 15'' is my size of choice. Huge thanks for helping me, though.
@@OleJanssen oh gotcha, sure thing. It's hard to pick out a laptop with so many choices. Just bought the all AMD model for my sister and was thinking about replacing my budget Lenovo legion 1660ti with the 3060 M17. Battery life for college would be nice.
It will run Cyberpunk 2077 at reduced (low-mid) details and resolution, so it's not a bad GPU per se, it's just old. And, unlike the 970 for desktops, the 970M had no inherent issues from a design perspective. Perhaps your machine has no mux switch? That was quite common back then and a real design flaw with far too many gaming laptops.
I learned that big gpus means nothing. You get CPU locked. Now I just research before my buy and get real-world specs first. Because going from a 70 to an 80 for 3FPS and $500 extra isn't it. Same everything, but the GPU and basically zero performance.
My thing is I would buy a really good gaming laptop with 256gb of storage and 8gb of ram if upgrading the parts individually by myself would cost lower than buying from the manufacturer
i am not understanding this review? The comming ban on windows 11/12,on board spyware on lenovo AMD chips in the EU and UK will mean a lot of these laptops cannot be sold or used across Europe.Whilst China has set the total ban of windows 11/12 by 2026. Anything which has restricted use by hardware supporting TPM or onchip restrictions will be banned for national security reasons following the intense cyber warfare is waging across the world. The monpolies investigation will no doubt only allow laptops or other mobile devices which are independent from restrictions on use,key signing, or white listing of software. Links to produce monopolies,cartels,or other restricted practices are ilegal across europe and present a national security threat to the UK. Retailers will be aware that restrictions concerning sales of banned hardware software restrictions could mean they will be less likely to sell anythig but approved laptops and mobile devices. Such restrictions may not apply to national outside Europe.
Honestly,if you are going to spend $1500 you might as well just spend $2000 instead and enjoy an actual real differences in performance and resolution. Do you need 4k? No,but you can keep your 1440P monitor and set resolution to 1440P and enjoy Ultra to Maxed Out setting gameplay.
I can see the difference between 1440p and 4k. But I can't see the difference between 144Fps and 244fps. I don't think our eyes can even process that. I swear it's a placebo effect when people say it's better.
People can tell the difference in a blind tests. Definitely diminishing returns but improved latency is never a bad thing. 120hz is 8ms while 240 would be 4ms, 120 extra fps gets you about the same increase in performance you would from 30 to 36 fps. (32ms down to 28)
The difference in these games between the 3070 and 3070ti is likely not due to cpu limits, the 3070ti is barely more powerful than the 3070 (assuming same wattage and cooling etc).
Every gaming laptop will burn out on the AC power input side of things. The heat from the fans eventually wear out the pins that hold the charger in place
The only thung I think about when buying a gaming laptop is for how long a time I am making an investment. Because after 3-4 years, it's just a time bomb waiting to blow up anytime and become utterly useless. No wonder people straight up sell their laptops after 2 years at half the price
Nice idea! I cant purchase a laptop using an Intel CPU due to the crappy performance that I have had to experience with my parents’ Core i5 laptop and Intel Inside tablet/laptop. I am thinking about getting a Ryzen 6800H + 3050 Ti laptop, to somewhat match my Ryzen 5 5600G + GTX 1660 Ti desktop gaming pc.
Hello may I ask you which laptop to buy for online poker? big display 16 "+, fast with multiple open poker platforms, 15 + open tables .. what do you suggest me?
