- The last time we tested a laptop like this it crashed constantly…. We are hoping we got a lemon before because a lot of people are buying this laptop! This is an eBay special that is a refurb/used special, featuring a Nvidia Quadro graphics card. Is it any good for gaming?

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
@@MrWhis-fe5hs do you really expect NPC's to think for themselves? They just brabble about whats most likely to be the popular opinion
@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.
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 ....
I’ve learnt a lot about gaming pcs from this channel ❤
Me too, I knew nothing about computers before August this year and since then I've been watching them everyday since
bro, I was thinking the same when I saw the video where they upgraded the lenovo workstation PC. that was sick
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 used to play quake on mine lol
Lol, “the red dot” 🔴
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 $12 external mouse on black friday I just couldn't game that good using the red nubby. My last thinkpad ran windows98 slowly it was a 760C model its been a long time since I have used a thinkpad
Great video love how yall broke down every part and spec i will look forward to getting it soon
Hello love your vids keep up the good work😊😊
On the side that's not a "compact flash" but an express card slot. It's for add-in cards like additional USB ports (like I got my older Thinkpad USB 3.0 with that), WiFi cards, card readers and more. I really miss those on modern laptops.
You asked: Yeah, I prefer the trackpoint over the touchpad. Feels a bit strange in the beginning but you get used to it pretty quickly. Lenovo is the last brand with trackpoints on their Thinkpad series though. Dell and Fujitsu dropped them. This and the good keyboard really make Thinkpads THE option for me. Plus it's good to know you can spill water over it without damaging it. Yeah - you might get more raw performance for less money but even then I just play games that run on it. Starcraft II, Final Fantasy XIII (and all the ones before), NFS Most Wanted (2013) - yeah, not a competitive gamer myself.
I like this chanel, subscribed!
always good beats/music for game play
Walmart has an HP Victus right now for 699$ that has an i5-12500H, RTX 4060, 16gb DDR4 3200, 512gb gen 4 nvme, and a 144Hz 15.6 inch 1080p display
How do I find it
@@designingtheenemy5869 Just google walmart HP Victus laptop and it should come up I think
@@designingtheenemy5869Just go downtown and ask around for pills.
not bad!
Buy it 😋
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 got a dell precision with a t1000, 1060 performance, for $300. Great find
new or used?
The Precision 5530 with the superb IGZO display
I can almost feel that cpu temp through the screen lol
Thanks for liking my comment last video, yall inspired me to sell pcs on the side I appreciate it
i had several of these same exact laptops that recently sold, i only sold them for 150-200 each lol, 340$ 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
Can you guys review the Skytech Nebula intel i5 13400 and RTX 4060
You should try CS2 for your benchmarks
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 got my Razer Blade Advanced 2019 with a 2070 Max-Q and a i7 9750H, for just $400 CAD, but the battery is missing (240hz display btw)
Best I can do is a Quadro FX 1800, take it or leave it
you can also unlock that maxwell gpu to perform better
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. ;)
Could I play the fallout games (3, new vegas and 4) with this laptop without a problem?
Why do they offset the mouse trackpad to the left, is that a left handed laptop?
Can you make a video and benchmarks for the laptop MSI GF63 15.6" 144 Hz Gaming Laptop? Thanks.
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.
Hey what settings(exactly) were you using in fornite? I have a pc and cant seem to find out why I cant run fornite right for my pc. My textures always seem to blurred and my frame rate seems to low for my pc, so if anyone has any advice or can help it would be appreciated.
for a little more than the cost of that laptop, 350+ shipping ($26) i got a lenovo legion 4800h and 1660ti
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.
I'm sure some other commenters mentioned it but that port is Express Card not Compact Flash.
I would have liked to see a follow up where you re applied the thermal paste and added another stick of ram.
Yeah I wonder if the old laptop just needs new paste. I think an external budget 1080p 75Hz monitor would be a good addition as well.
@@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
Already now $420.
Make a video about the loq. It’s truly the laptop everyone is buying
nice,. You likely did get a stepped up one as they might have been out of what you thought you were getting.
I clicked the link in your description and what came up at that moment was a thinkpad with only 1366 X 768 resolution.
i love yall vids and i wanna buy a pc from yall sooo badly😭
i wonder how the 7700s gpu is in asus's laptop?
The red button on the keyboard is call a "J mouse". The first time found on Zenith laptop computer back in 1990's.
hey i have a question, is a slightly curved 27 inch 240 hertz monitor good? and where can i find it? plus is intel i7 compatible w a 3070 or 3080?
if your build can push 240hz then yeah otherwise theres no point & as for compatibility am not too sure
Looks like you got the P51, and not the P50. Its 1 generation newer, with the GPU being the biggest upgrade over the previous model.
moooooooole moley moley moley moley moley lol. This things an upgrade from my 3k 2016 build that I am still running. lmfao
seem not bad and ut has a thunderbolt port can connect a external graphic card
what is the name of the software you use to display the CPU GPU Temps etc. at the top left corner?
Msi afterburner
@@konnipawzcan i modify rgb with that too?
What setting you ran on fortnite?
I always disable the touchpad on a thinkpad and use the Thinkpoint "nipple".
Im gonna have to get this for my little brother
i have to lenovo p50s with i7 6600u and m1000m wwith 3k displayand 1tb ssd and 32gb ram is that good or not
for fortnite and gta 5
Yikes, those CPU temps...
I love your content.
Let’s go it’s the toasty brooos
I need this so I can game at school 😂
yoooo Toasty Bros if you ever read this I have a simple tip. My tip is to timestamp stuff like sponsors because ngl I hate the GVD Mail sponsor.
Sponsors do not like timestamps 😝
1 year ago l got asus rog g751jy for 340$ and jump from integrated uhd 600 graphics to gtx 980m was night and day difference.
Can u please help
Loq 15 rtx 2050 i5 12th or
Ideapad gaming 3 rtx 3050 ryzen 5 5600h
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$??
I Looked and cheapest i saw was 450
Also, a cool factor of it, it's one of the last laptops with an MXM GPU
so you can replace it for an RTX or a GTX etc.
Edit: Oh, it's a P51, that explains everything, it's the so called "upgrade" but compared to it's older counterpart, it's worse in almost every way and i actually don't think it has an MXM Gpu
we can do that?!
This makes my alienware computer seem high tech.
Hey I have a question I been looking for a PC and I was wondering if a 700$ PC can run GTA 5 FIVEM
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
I actually have a $700 Thinkpad P14s with some random quadro and it's actually lovely!
as someone with a T460 i can confirm, i use the trackpoint
Every time you post these videos the price of those refurbs go up… every time… 😂
Please repaste the cpu it would help a lot with temps and fortntie performance (yeah fn is cpu hungry)
For me 310euro it's great deal also it have thunder bolt so it can be used for egpu
I haven’t watched the video yet but they said comparable performance to 960m… yeah this is not going to go well
Could fix the screen issue with a monitor for ~100 dollars I guess. Not that i'd buy it.
Just wondering what preset did you guys use for Fortnite? Cuz I got a 3050 laptop ad it's getting about the same performance at medium to high settings
Looks like performance mode. GPU didn't even max out.
@@aleksazunjic9672isn't performance mode just low settings except render distance set to epic? in that case I only gain about 30-40 fps, is there something wrong with my laptop or is fornite just that awfully optimized
for that price you can get a used e14 gen 2 with 11th gen cpu or ryzen with an mx350 or amd gpu that is faster then this
Something seems off here. It looked like it played fortnite and that other game better then a 780m, but the timespy is half that of a 780m.
temp 96c? toasty
I have no idea what their talking about but I’m still watching😂 I don’t know specs whatsoever
Can I do a trade with my dell precision 7720
Quadro M2200 could run GTA V in 1080p high settings with decent FPS (over 30 ) . Older Quadros well ..K2000M would run same game at 1080p normal , also 30+ FPS . 1000M - you will need to go 720p . M2200 is decent buy for gaming, others not so much . M2200 would run games from PS4 era and newer e-sports titles.
for 410$ 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
The eraser mouse was a precsion mouse for the time and people loved it
they control ISS with those laptops so
NICE video
Chances of finding it at that price=0
Two Weeks Ago GANG!!!!!
for that much you could get 1050, maybe 1060 laptop if lucky
The Camera movement makes me sick 😅
i have a dell presicion M6800 32gb ram a 256gb msata ssd and a 1tb ssd in sata slot 1 and sata slot 2 has another 1tb ssd and yes my laptop had 3 ssds in it lol it has a core i7 4700MQ and a AMD FirePro M6100 for graphics and also intergrated intel 4600 graphics and this thing is a beast and runs minecraft and most my steam games fine for me lol it has a 17.3in 1920x1080 display and it hjas Linux which probually helps specificly Garuda Linux Got it on Ebay for $194 lol very goood deal and very good condition wish i had the backlight keyboard but oh well
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!!!
Bro is coping
@@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
coping what?@@saahildarvesh1693
For that kind of money you could only get used workstations, possibly older gaming laptops with mobile 1060 etc
This laptop has more IO then my desktop 💀💀
I bought a $500 laptop a couple years ago with a Ryzen 5 4600H and a 1660ti and it can outperform this computer with a brighter screen. Even with the free upgrade, I'd deem this a bad decision,.
Same
Idk I’m wondering why too 😂
Is this AI Linus?
the cpu is 100 degree celcius lol
Bro i have a 900$ new thinkpad and it's wayy worse. 8gb ram, intel core i5 10th gen, 256gb SSD, No GPU.
its cause this thinkpad is a workstation laptop.
really u just compared a quadro to a 4090 LOL
Can i get that gaming laptop?
not a gaming laptop but an upgraded normal laptop
i can smell the cpu cooking plastic.
my below 300 dollar laptop is just an acer aspire with ryzen 5 on it🔥🔥
gamer bor describing quadro and failing spectacularly.
that is my school laptop lol if you optimise it it can run almost every game
It's good
My dad has that laptop, they sold it to him for $50
People are buying this $339 laptop because it doesn't cost $340. 😂
I rather buy Lenovo all day everyday ❤
I have the Lenovo Legion Go very much amazing device + I have a ton of accessories from Lenovo like gaming mouse M600s + H300 headset and so on
