      Core Ultra can be really attractive to quite a lot of people though. Its iGPU performance is far better than anything Intel has ever offered in the integrated graphics scene, and the new core architecture seems like it's very efficient, compared to the old Core i3/i5/i7/i9 CPUs.

      No es lo mismo, el ryzen 8000 va a venir con mas velocidad de memoria de 6400MHz a 7500MHz y de 45W TDP baja a 15W, mas eficiencia, la iGPU tambien se beneficia de la velocidad de la RAM. Superando de 8 horas a 12 horas que es ideal para trabajos de productividad.

    #5 - Not many people probably knows about this, but since AMD released FSR the community have already developed an FSR mod which give you basically free fps in your old laptop with old GPUs (like RTX 2000s/3000s, anything below isn't really preferred).
    I know this because few months ago I was searching for a new laptop (a replacement to my Legion 5 Pro 3060 that I bought 2 years ago) because games have been increasingly demanding, but thanks to this mod it basically extended the lifespan of my aging laptop for like another year or 2.
    FSR3.1 is also coming this year (integrated into some of the newer titles).

      ​​​​@@HandleIsNewAndBadNot 100% true but I partially agree. If you play AAA games like me you will start to notice that games are catching up with the laptop hardware recently especially my laptop's specs (eg. Horizon FW in my laptop can't consistently keep the fps on 60 average - w/o framegen but with DLSS). I fear that I won't be able to run Ghost of Tsushima aswell.
      If you play AA or Indie titles then true, you're good for atleast 2 - 5 years more.

      I have been watching your videos since 2021 and you have always said that the 3060 was the sweet spot for gaming back until the 4000 series came around. The prices for the 2023 model here are bad and what's even shocking is that the older 2022 and even 2021 models for godsake is still terrible. Literally 1000+$ for an rtx 3060.

      ​@@jupiteruniverse8683I have 3060 HP Omen. It was purchased two years back for 1300 USD. It still works like new. I only play Halo Infinite which it is capable of running at medium settings and high enough frame rates. Game runs well. Heating well controlled. Gaming on a budget. It has only 6 GB VRAM so it cannot run modern heavy graphic titles at fancier high or ultra graphics settings. But still , considering that is a luxury as is gaming in itself, 3060 is alright and I believe need not to spend more, unless one is a professional and does competitive gaming. Medium graphics also look beautiful. If you only have to play games then better get a desktop than a gaming laptop, better performance at lower price.

      Gaming Laptops have improved so they don't die out as they use to buy getting 'cooked'. But Gaming Laptops seem to have motherboard issues to this date. I still think though, that normal notebooks and thin and light laptops are the better choice for most people. Gaming Laptops have rather become very good, but they are clumsy machines and still niche. More a portable desktop. Now even laptops are old school and tablets and smartphones, and may be in future VR are going to be the dominant devices for the masses. Otherwise enthusiasts still build custom PCs.

      yeah, I think some people look to upgrade too often. I have a Legion with a RTX 3080 in it from 2021, and it still slays everything I've needed it to... never felt like I needed something better yet. I'll probably be looking more at 2026 for an upgrade.

    Hey Jarrod, I plan on getting a gaming laptop soon and I can't pick between the HP VICTUS 15 FB1013dx and the HP VICTUS 15 FA1093dx, the 2nd one is a bit more expensive (around 60-90 dollars) but has more VRAM - a better cpu and gpu, so what do you recommend?
    Note: I can't spend any more than this

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  Před 2 měsíci +3

      I don't know what spec those are, but if it's 4050 vs 4060 I'd definitely spend that much more for the GPU alone.

    • @stayhappy-forever
      @stayhappy-forever Před 2 měsíci +1

      Alright so I'll list the specs quickly, the first one has an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, it comes with 8gb ram upgradable to 32gb (DDR5 4800 MHz) and comes with a 512gb SSD upgradable to 2TB. It comes with an RYX 2050 (4gb) around 50W TGP.
      The 2nd one however which is a bit more expensive is the 2023 model which comes with an i5-13420H RTX 3050 6gb VRAM 75W TGP, aside from that it comes with DDR4 instead of DDR5 - everything else is pretty much the same. So is it worth spending 60-90 more dollars on it or would I be better off getting the 2050 AMD Ryzen 7535HS? I'll have to use this laptop for the next 4 years. @@JarrodsTech

Since the 4050 is too weak, the 4060 price is far from 4050 and close to 4070, and the 4070 only has 8gb vram, all this while older 3070, 3070 ti, 3080 leftovers models are being sold cheap although with no framegen. Would rather wait for 5000 series for no compromises

      If you get an 2024 laptop look for ones with Intel Ultra CPU's. Intel renamed their CPU line with Ultra also with Ultra it comes with NPU Neural Processing Units which LLM can use for it's AI workloads there isn't really an use case for NPU yet but I'n the future their is.
