While maybe not the best for gaming, this will outperform most $350 laptops in performance and build quality. Really not a bad choice if you need a solid laptop for every day stuff and light gaming
That doesn't make sense either because you can already find a lot of second-hand gaming laptops and on top of that you can get a steam deck for like $400
@megakoni1 lol true 😂 All I'm saying is Facebook marketing place is loaded with second laptops with way better specs hell I just sold my laptop with a 2k display 144hz and 2060 for $550 and others that I saw aith better specs were priced the same if not better
It's still kind of hard to beat the Ryzen 5600U HP Probook I got for $350. CPU wise, it will walk all over this 4 core i7. Amazon seems to have an endless supply of them for around $350
TBH at that point you are better off just getting a Steam Deck installing windows on it, and using that with a BT keyboard + portable monitor/Dock. I literally stopepd taking my laptop to work meetings abroad and bring my steam deck with a bt kb/mouse and use that for replying to e-mails etc.
I used to game on a ThinkPad. The red dot is actually pretty usable for playing slow paced RPGs like Skyrim without a mouse. WASD in the left hand and then right hand on the dot with your thumb on the trackpad keys.
I bought one at a pawnshop for $200 it runs the games I play great skyrim, oblivion, stanley parable, doom 3, inscryption but I had to run and grab a $12 external mouse on black friday I just couldn't game that good using the red nubby. My last thinkpad ran windows98 slowly it was a 760C model its been a long time since I have used a thinkpad
Always entertaining and informative haha...thanks to you guys I had a informed decision on what to buy. I got a LCGS, Glacier360 with 3060ti 12600kf 16g ram and 1t gen4. it looks good and couldn't beat the price at the time ... but amazon has the same one kinda but in a open frame for 999 like 50 less than I paid check it out ....crazy cheap for what you get. Keep it up thank you ....
@@MoChuang343 The fans for this channel would love seeing cheap upgrades done to these cheap rigs. And seeing the performance improvements. A little bit goes a long way
i had several of these same exact laptops that recently sold, i only sold them for 150-200 each lol, 340$ is way too much, i have 1 more that has a M1000M, and that's the last of them, got them from a friend which got them for cheap in a lot, their pretty good actually, and the M2000M is comparable to a GTX960 in im not mistaken, and the M1000M is comparable to the GTX950, i actually have another that had i think a M2000M MXM gpu in it, but im planning to upgrade it to a M5000M probably
On the side that's not a "compact flash" but an express card slot. It's for add-in cards like additional USB ports (like I got my older Thinkpad USB 3.0 with that), WiFi cards, card readers and more. I really miss those on modern laptops. You asked: Yeah, I prefer the trackpoint over the touchpad. Feels a bit strange in the beginning but you get used to it pretty quickly. Lenovo is the last brand with trackpoints on their Thinkpad series though. Dell and Fujitsu dropped them. This and the good keyboard really make Thinkpads THE option for me. Plus it's good to know you can spill water over it without damaging it. Yeah - you might get more raw performance for less money but even then I just play games that run on it. Starcraft II, Final Fantasy XIII (and all the ones before), NFS Most Wanted (2013) - yeah, not a competitive gamer myself.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T, X and P Series are outstandig in terms of quality. We resell refurbished laptops and desktop pcs, we have almost no returns and very little repair requests for those. Same with Dell Latitude and HP Elitebooks, ZBooks. There are good NVidia Quadros to game a little with. Or look out for the Ryzen series with integrated Vega GPU. Just like with Quadros... don't expect any wonder. ;)
I bought a Lenovo P51 back in 2015 with Xeon Processor, Quadro M2200 dGPU with 4GB VRAM (it performs like a 1050 card), 16GB RAM, 2x 512GB NVMe SSDs + 1x 512GB SATA 2.5 inch SSD, touch display with stylus support and it still runs well. I dual boot it with Windows 11 and Ubuntu. Its support's RAID 0 and 1. The thunderbolt 3 is compatible with eGPUs. I've used an Aorus 1070 gaming eGPU. My Wife refers to it as the brick!
I find the thermals on the CPU quite concerning. I'd really check if proper contact is made between the CPU die and the heatpipe, maybe there's an issue with the thermal paste, like it probably dried or something. In your tests, the CPU was nowhere near from being used at 100%, yet it was 30 to 40°C hotter than the GPU which WAS pegged at 100% for most of the time. I run similar hardware on my 2016 Lenovo laptop (17 inch Ideapad Y700, i7-6700HQ and GTX960M), and the CPU has NEVER been thermal-throttled before the GPU. I don't think I ever managed to make it thermal-throttle, even. I partially blocked the exhaust and yet I struggled to get it over 80°C and no signs of throttling when I played Genshin a few years back with both CPU and GPU usage being evenly matched.
Max turbo for i7 7820hq is 3.9ghz , for the i7 6700hq its 3.5ghz , more power higher temps. But i do agree the temps are a bit concerning and something might be wrong with that paste.
Honestly, the price doesn't seem too bad for a refurbished mobile workstation and considering the specs. I was looking into buying something similar a while ago for working with Blender and Unity, unfortunately local refurbishers in my country tend to list similar laptops at almost 1000 EUR. In the end I ended up buying a new gaming laptop for not much more.
nice,. You likely did get a stepped up one as they might have been out of what you thought you were getting. I clicked the link in your description and what came up at that moment was a thinkpad with only 1366 X 768 resolution.
I am rocking a Lenovo P71 with a Quadro M5000 card 64Gb RAM 2 NVME's an additional 2.5 SSD and a Xeon CPU running W11. It's a beast of a device. Built for graphic design only ever used as a gaming laptop :).
I bought a $500 laptop a couple years ago with a Ryzen 5 4600H and a 1660ti and it can outperform this computer with a brighter screen. Even with the free upgrade, I'd deem this a bad decision,.
The red nubbin' is completelly pointless UNTIL you suddenly need it and then you realize what a stroke of genius it really is, haha. It's awesome since you can use it while wearing gloves, so it's fantastic for factory/workshop enviroments, or even if you have any mobility problems (ex. maybe you havce a cast in your hand, with the nubbin' you can still control your laptop). You're not going to be pulling 1080 noscopes with it, but that's not the point.
HOW DID YOU GET A P50 FOR 339$?? I Looked and cheapest i saw was 450 Also, a cool factor of it, it's one of the last laptops with an MXM GPU so you can replace it for an RTX or a GTX etc. Edit: Oh, it's a P51, that explains everything, it's the so called "upgrade" but compared to it's older counterpart, it's worse in almost every way and i actually don't think it has an MXM Gpu
Hello Toasty Bros im in the UK and wondering whats a good pc/laptop for maybe like £300-£500 and it needs to run around 165 fps and possibly a nvidia gpu since i like video editing and graphic design!!!
@@saahildarvesh1693nah, there's some good deals out there, I can't say for sure because idk where he lives but I got mine for $660 and I live in a fairly expensive country
Quadro M2200 could run GTA V in 1080p high settings with decent FPS (over 30 ) . Older Quadros well ..K2000M would run same game at 1080p normal , also 30+ FPS . 1000M - you will need to go 720p . M2200 is decent buy for gaming, others not so much . M2200 would run games from PS4 era and newer e-sports titles.
There is more to gaming than first person shooters. This should be fine for many games and a bump up from a $350 laptop with an igpu, which is what you should be comparing it to. The question isn't "Does this laptop play my FPS games at super high frames per second?" The question " Is an older CPU combined with an older dgpu make sense when compared to a like priced newer CPU with igpu?" A second question "is it worth paying $150-200 more more a modern lowest end 'gaming' laptop?" @$309 Acer Aspire 3 AMD 7320u (4c/8t) with 610m (2c igpu 8gb RAM, 128gb nvme @$359 HP ProBook 445 AMD 5600u (6c/12t) with igpu (7 core) 16gb RAM, 512gb nvme @$313 HP ProBook 440 Intel i5-10210 (4c/8t) with 24 EU UHD igpu @$573 MSI GF63 Intel I5-10200h (4c/8t) nvidia 1650m dgpu w/4gb 8Gb RAM, 256gb nvme These examples of what this laptop should be compared against. A wider varsity of game genres, most of which play fine at 60 Hz or even 20-40 Hz.
for 410$ i needed a new laptop cause i cant us my pc everywhere and i got a hp victus 15 with gtx 1650 i5-12450H 16gb DDR4 512gb ssd and a 144hz screen i got a amazing deal
i used to have a lenovo thinkpad it was one the ibm models dont remember the exact specs but i do remember it had amd apu an it was ddr2 it had 4gb ram an 1tb hdd those didnt come with it tho but i had it dual boot i would push the power button an instead of booting right into a os it had a lil menu to select what os i wanted either windows 7 or ubunto linux one time when i had it lol i put bunch mods in minecraft an had minecraft running 3x on it so i could play with 2 of my friends lol it was cool but that render distance sucked lol i think it was set to like 4 chunks just so all of us could play on it lol this was back in like 2013-2014
