Great review stephen. My god, these cpu names. I give up. Finally! Nice to see oled options. That too glossy! Do you think these core ultra chips run cooler than ryzen like its been the case so far? But this laptop isn't worth it at $1500. Max, $1000. Ideally should be $800. And a 6gb gpu is unacceptable for such a device. Should've had a 4060 minimum

hi dad, how u doin´?

I'm late to the party. But when I try to enable custom settings in the bios it says that the system needs to restart to take effect. It restarts and nothing has changed. I can keep doing it and it keeps wanting to restart. Any ideas?

Can it handle ps3 the cheap one?

I will rather go for the ryzen model. The ryzen model is easily on par with the intel, it is cheaper and has more configurations. I don't think in real life use, the intel will be that much faster. I don't care much about thunderbolt 4 so I will rather save the extra $100😁😁😁

I don't get it. Why does Acer keep producing horrible shell design. Like just go with the concept D series lineup. Instead they want to keep that 2009 alien industrial look that screams gamer.. It doesnt look clean and its cream ugly and bulky.

Anyone tried a 14 in her with this cooler ? I know it’s says a min of 15 but if anyone tried I would love to know the results ?

Would you go for the AMD or Intel model? Remember to check out Tenorshare 4DDiG Video Repair Software: bit.ly/4bZdpRJ

One thing I dont like at all is how every single damn review on youtube has to have the latest and most powerful gpu rtx 4090. Not a single video abt a lower tier 4080 considering the huge 900$ price gap between the 2 configurations, and also the fact that the upgrade is certainly not worth and most people would go with the rtx 4080 either way.

I just double checked on my m18 r2 -- I plugged in/out the AC cable 10 times in a row while running Elden Ring and it didn't reboot, no problems. Yours must have had a faulty PSU or the motherboard.

I got the newer version (of course by now I would imagine this is an ancient laptop being 1 year old) but I got it around $1500. Would that be a good price for a laptop this caliber in today’s standards?

i wish your reviews contained more detailed information on the cooling capacity. namely, what's the maximum sustained wattage that the cooling system is capable of dissipating long term. also information on bios is very important for gaming laptops, especially if you're planning to use linux: ideally you want to set up all overclocking/undervolting in the bios without messing with any of the windows bloatware that the laptop ships with. i also want to see more emphasis put into repairability analysis: how hard is the laptop to take apart? how hard is it to repaste it? how robust are the I/O ports that are usually the first to break (power and audio jacks)? not just this model, I wish every laptop review had more in-depth information like this.

Why do they make workstation laptops without an air intake on the top panel? In my opinion, it's a must have.

And I just added foam to my crappy deepcool x6 at 1000rpm😅😅. From 100 to 85° cpu /70 gpuno throttling, full 4.5ghz all the way 🤑🤑🤑. But I will try this Llano soon 😊. Msi pulse 15 : i7 13620h 32 gig/4070. Sadly the cpu fan is smaller than the gpu side 😢.

I think my laptop have a problem, my screen freeze for a second or two after i open a game and there is a sound like of disconnect usb, can someone help?

The lid should be aluminum too. On the 2023 which I have it is.

from 99c to 76c at 1200 RPM. I love it I have the Acer Predator 16 i9 13900hx and RTX 4070

Good value for the money. I love it💪💪

I’m using the 2021 3050ti model but when I go into bios I don’t have an option to switch the hdmi output

icrease the clock speed as well for cpu

here's an update for m18 r2: - they removed the max power options from both bios and the AWCC - undervolting options are severely nuked (can't put more than 15mV which makes it pretty much useless) - however, the TCC(thermal offset) works really well. I just put it to 15C in AWCC and it keeps the CPU temp at 100-15=85C very reliably - even better, setting the TCC and the fan profile under windows seems to carry over to linux! - AWCC seems to override bios settings overall my experience gaming on m18 r2 is so far very positive: all peripherals worked right off the bat (i'm on NixOS(don't use it if you're a beginner, use linux mint or something like that)), no drivers needed, all steam games work decently well.

this video really needs an update for m18 v2 version, as its bios exposes fewer parameters to play with. i'm also interested to see which OS options are available under linux and also which options i can set under windows and carry over into linux.

Thank you so much for the review of the titan. I was going to buy this laptop as so many videos have hyped it up to be this beast. But the Asus seems to be the more sensible option. Your video highlights things that others don't. Much appreciated I will now sub you. Max respect

The screen had problems after 6 months of use, encountered by many users

Is this better or rog strix scar 16

Good video. That handheld gaming device seems far more reasonably priced than the likes of PC handhelds. And most phones. Though, I do wonder if you can get like an older flagship phone or gaming phone for ~$150. That would be a better option since it would do what the handheld can but also be a phone. Do you think you can review some gaming vertical mice? They, as I heard, are more comfortable to hold and use. Would love to hear your thoughts on them because I was looking towards a wireless vertical mouse from kensington.

OwnorDisown with the cracked deals 😎

the mouse is super heavy at 103 grams. a lot of wireless mice are sub 60 grams

The hand held has hella emulated games damn. not sure how that's legal but neat

Thanks for the updates.

thanks a lot for your responses 🙏 , still I have one more question , when im putting balanced mode wich is the recommended plan from win , it gaves me the best results, less temp ans less noise and more fps unlike the balance +ai mode or performance mode that's giving me 12c more on temp , fps slightly better but maybe 10-15 more fps only and the fan are noise , how it can be ?

0:23 They do have better choices for their customers in women tights for sure 🤣🤣🤣💀

Good deals

1st commet

you should try Eye traking in racing

It's look like GPU was on when you tested battery life.

Which is better, I can’t decide. Specs i9 13/14 gen Rtx 4070 Asus rog strix G18(2024) or Acer predator Helios 18

CZcams suddenly suggested this video to me, and I really enjoyed it. I miss the time when this laptop came out; it gave me a nostalgic feeling. Thanks, Stephen!

hi, ive done the same exact steps and have seen no improvement in temperatures, i used the same thermal paste. cpu reaches 100c and gpu throttles at 86c. does anyone know what could be the issue, fans and debris are all clear. the only thing i haven't changed it the thermal pads but was wandering if ive missed anything before i replace them

Finally someone does a game performance analysis using this cooler. Pretty much every other review just looks at the temperature difference.

i just bought a x17 R2 refurbished laptop after using it i found overheating issue (100C Alwas ) after brief recerch i found 2 solution that help me a lot 40c on idle and 70c Max 1 options - Disable turbo max in bios 2 options - dont install AWCC thats it

I like how Legion always keep their laptop design slim and minimalist. This is what MSI laptop should learn....

i saw the 4090 variant at 2750 multiple times on lenovo website

Man that price is in different regions. I paid 2175, 2376 after tax for this exact model two weeks ago. I literally put it side to side with a 2024 rog strix scar 16 and there was a slight difference but the scar will blind you. The screen is actually good and the pro 7i performance was better than the scar for less money.

by the way , the heat air is going out from the sides ?
