Hey pc centric just wanted to thank you for making me actually wanna move to pc and helping choose the right things for my pc build. Lots of love. Love you content keep up the good work
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.
I’m concerned about all of that so what would be your pick for under $1400 I am torn between 3 different laptops and can’t make a decision.
@@fernandoaranda8474 which ones
@@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
gaming laptop users arent real, barfers prolly just use an external monitor and the mouse and all
Just discovered you and... finally a youtuber that I can understand when he's talking about pc's, and that counts a lot for me because I'm a beginner and I usually don't get much even tought I spent hours on internet learning about computers.
I'm from italy and I understand more what you say about computers than what my native language speakers youtubers say. Great content mate, I'll be definitely watching all your videos. Stay hard!
Pc Centric, I’ve watched you from the beginning. Your videos are so informative and entertaining. Love the new video and look forward to more ;) ❤️
Glad you like them!
Just found this video and can i say the best one ive seen. I’m new to PC/Laptop gaming and trying to find a decent starter/midrange. Not going to be playing the latest AAA games on ultra but want something i can use for the next couple of years and the way you broke this down and explained what’s important is great. Other channels just waffle through CPU and GPU like we all know what is what with the naming conventions but you made it seem easier to follow. So thank you. (Still dont know what laptop I’m going to get haha)
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...
I bought the scar 17 3080+12900h for college ☠️. I probably overspent at 3000$ after tax
Aha i copped a razer blade 17
Damn u rich
@@kobenig Nah I just used that financial aid for it
sounds like a fun setup. I’d try Virtual Reality with something like that.. kinda can’t myself
@@king69104 i need such type of finanacial aid too
First of, great video. I think you are one of the rarest to actually understand what "budget" looks like and to give a fair assessment of what a budget gaming pc can do.
As for the computers themselves, though I understand that a lot of money making these goes into the high end parts, I'm still baffled to see plastic everywhere at like 1700€, which makes your PC look cheap even when you already paid the price of three PS5/Series X for it. Is there a technical reason why you wouldn't want a metal casing for these beasts? Does this has to do with the thermals or is it just to save on manufacturing costs? (genuine question)
Just discovered your channel, great job putting the specs into context for normal folk and it being enjoyable to watch. +1sub here 👍
I had just gotten an RTX 3060 laptop when this video came out. So glad to have my choice affirmed from a value-for-money perspective!
I put an extra 100 on top again and went with the 3070 msi and it's a monster
Few minutes ago i bought msi G76 also with a rtx3060, i cant wait to get it in few days!!
is it worth spending 300 more for a 3070 ti?
@@Trevor-Watlington if you play msfs 20, yes
I spent a little more and got a 3070 130w laptop. It's only like 15% faster but the extra 2gb of vram I feel will make a big difference in the long term and I keep my computers for 5 years at the minimum. I bought it to retire my older gtx 1070 gaming laptop.
I'm really happy to see you recording videos about gaming laptops! Keed doing this, the public need more information about it
Is this a good gaming laptop im not looking for anything crazy
| Intel Core
i5-10300H | NVIDIA GeForce TX 3050 8GB DDR4 256GB
a very clear and informative laptop review. tyvm
Still loving my last year's Aorus 15G, RTX 3060, i7 10870H at 105W. Excellent build quality and more than enough gaming power to run Tomb Raider / Guardians of the Galaxy style games for a good few years yet 👌
hello mate im trying to buy a gaming laptop and i was thinking of aorus 15p 3070 and the asus one i have no idea what to buy since all youtube videos are sponsors they cant really say bad things about the laptops
@@wahebskull I was undecided between the ASUS ROG G15 and the Aorus 15G back when I bought the laptop, what sold it to me with the Aorus was the dual channel RAM slots and MUX switch, where as the ASUS had a fixed RAM slot so you could only upgrade one RAM card and no MUX switch. As well, it was the availability of stock as the pandemic hit supply chains hard so many specific products were difficult to get hold of.
At the end of the day, it's personal preference, from screens to CPU power, what you look for in a gaming laptop, how you will use it in daily tasks and the types of games you play, are they competitive or RPG's. Realistically, an RTX 3070 would have been my preference for the games I play like Tomb Raider and A Plague Tale, but prices back then were still high as the 30 series GPU's were newly released, but honestly and RTX 3060 and above is powerful enough, bearing in mind the wattage. Know what you want first, then decide on the laptop. Think he made a video on this too, but from what I've experienced through many reviews, I'd go for an ASUS ROG, Lenovo Legion, MSI or Gigabyte/Aorus.
@@mikehorton6433 not op, but thanks for this reply. 🙏🏾
Yo man! Can u request a GOOD gaming laptop in ur opinion?
Im glad you choose Cyberpunk to test the performance. Makes me feel better about the smaller games i wanted to play.
Great comparison, good job!👍
I have a nitro 5 and absolutely love that thing.
Thank you, I found this illuminating.
I think I chose well with the GIGABYTE - 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz Gaming Laptop - i5-11400H - 16GB - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 512 GB SSD on sale for $700.
I am not a demanding gamer, and am pretty much looking to play Ashes of Creation Alpha 2 next summer, and then Pantheon Rise of the Fallen Alpha a bit later, which will not be as demanding as Ashes.
ma man
im just wondering if you suffer from bios problems as i heard that the G5 does suffer from them, ive also been looking at the 2023 version with 4050 for 1,899 but not sure if it suffers from bios problem as well
Nice video great break downs on each laptop
Big thumbs up for suggesting to get as much future proofing as possible.
Didnt knew andrew Garfield did this in his free time
I got a Razer 14 inch and it’s great! Can’t think of anything other than it being warm 😊
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.
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
I love you videos. In my opinion the best IT guy on CZcams
I love how you uploaded this video before I got my new Asus tuf f15 laptop 😪
7 decades old guy here. My computer knowledge simply has not kept up since a TRS-80. Overwhelmed w/gaming laptop choices these days. Think => Putting a puzzle together w/o seeing the box top image.
Recommendations for a gaming laptop between $1200 - $1500 that would easily support PGA 2k23.
~ Much Thanks ~
I would suggest a good extended warranty on the cheap laptops being a must. My Acer, which i actually enjoyed a lot (1650/ryzen 5 nitro 5) until it died 1 year and 1 month after purchase.
No warranty, goodbye money. My fault, for not getting it. So get the warranty, it's worth it. You never know where they cut the corners, just that they did
Just get it fixed
@@AjdjdossorhfbcbxjddThey'll charge you an outrageous amount for an off warranty repair. My college PC blew out its sound card after 3 years and they were gonna charge me 450 dollars to fix it.
You have such convenient upload timings :)
as a g5 owner i can tell you I'm extremely happy its best price to performance to date!!!! plays all my games at high fps on high settings!!!
Yeah, same . It's a beast.
@@mamanomepegues87 where did you guys buy it from ? I live in Canada and the only source is newegg, and people are saying it's a bad company.
There are more cuts here than in a Samurai training camp, and I love it. Great video mate 🤙
The good thing with MSI thin is they generally seem to ship with a single stick of 8gb ram which is daft (no dual channel to begin with)but makes it cheaper to upgrade.Just upgraded my sons 1650 MSI thin and its cheaper to buy one stick of 8gb than 2 as i had to with my acer nitro
can MSI take valorant??
@@moanaaaa5108 easily 144fps lol, valorant really isn’t demanding

I’m so overwhelmed, I’m looking to get a new gaming laptop and there’s just so much
This video was a great help.
You are really good at this
Amazing review!
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.
Very informative videos.
Great video Centric good to see the difference from lap top to a case/tower computer. Further down the track i'm sure you've done it how to set your screen when you get a new pc. I have a 28inch screen and soon in a week a two a 1660 graphics build. Is there proper setting there or on the new pc you should look for.
These videos are so useful
Lovely work
Hello, love the content your putting out very entertaining very enjoyable.
I just got my first gaming laptop in large part do to watching your channel🙂. Next I will build a proper tower. Keep up the great work, cheers mate!
Actually the acer nitro 5 does have an Rgb keyboard setting (press the nitro button and go to keyboard settings you can change colors, make it rgb, change the speed along with direction of the colors, and you can change the keyboard brightness)
Love the way you say things, got my mom thinking that I'm listening to lectures
Hey, great video! I’ve been doing a lot of research and I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about Lenovo legion 5-7? They are around £1.1K and, in my opinion, the best value laptops out there. What’s your opinions on them?
Yeah the legion laptops are the best imo. I got a lenovo legion 5i pro with a rtx 3070 ti
@@darklight8338 there price jump this year is bizarre
1300 USD though
legion 5 pro, amd 7 6000 series, 3070ti, 32gb ram, all for 1,600 is a steal. built like a tank
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 :)
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.
Used to have an i7 9th Gen 1660Ti Omen (1.2k) and now the i9 11th Gen RTX3070 Acer Predator (1.5k). The Omen was amazing considering I only started gaming during lockdown and thus was casual, but damn for £300 extra I now have a beast that can run practically any game I couldn't before.
hey where did you get it from if you can remember ?
@@alexfarmer2962 I'm from the UK. Both were ordered online and picked up at Currys.
Do you have a link? And how is it holding up
@@Fyixi My previous comments didn't send. It's very good. Holding up great. Some slight annoyances at the beginning that can be resolved eg: Caps Key toggle icon appearing in the middle of the screen is horrible interface for gamers. Can play 2 games at once, such as HSR and Rocket League. I can't send a link because YT blocks it but if you copy and paste the specs from my first comment, you will get the exact one fast.
Mind if I ask a few questions?
How's the sound when normal gaming
What's performance like with and without plugging
What else would you add or use with it like monitor mouse and stuff any other tips would be great too like for heating n stuff
Scan as a sponsor - holy shit, a good sponsor?! Well done mate!
Back to the sponsor scan are great next day delivery on most product
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
loved the vid 👌
The G5 is now on sale and has an 11th Gen i5 with the 3060. Just picked one up!
i've got a asus 15 tuf and got it for 1100$ and i'm super happy with it, performin great and probably the best computer that i have ever used!
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
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 👏
Love to see it man
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
3070 on laptops are a scam cause laptops can use 400 watts of power
@@jagason7494 No. No laptop GPU can use 400 watts of power due to thermal constraints
@@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
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?
Hi pc centric. Currys in the UK are offering the g5 for 700 quid and it's got a 11400 and a 3060 in it. Would you say thats a bargain and one I should go for. I was looking as high as a legion 5 Pro with a 70ti and a 12700. It is twice as much though. Would you say its worth twice as much for the admittedly not insignificant performance increase. I'm not sure. What do you think?
I got a rp-15 g2 for on sale for 500 dollars off since it was Black Friday and it is coming in 4 days so I’m very excited
How does he have the confidence to swing the laptops around like that
I bought Asus tuf 15(2022) 3070 Ryzen 7 6800 for a 1300 for college, very portable and battery last for 7 hours
I bought an MSI Titan GT75 four years ago, 8gig GTX1080... still game on it, even new AAA games run at max settings flawlessly $3600. worth every penny
Thanks, v. useful. I'm hankering after some BF 2042 action! It seems like you get a lot of bang for your buck, but what shocked me was the plastic build quality. They all look pretty terrible! Are there any more gaming laptops with metal frames like the Aorus?
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!
Buy a MacBook Pro
For many MAC users like me, a reasonably priced gaming laptop is essential for enjoying my favorite older PC titles. A current gen console is great for enjoying new AAA games but many of my favorite older titles on the spectrum between terrible and unplayable on a console. One of my good friends is in the same boat. We both have MacBooks that we use for work so I don't particularly care about the overall build quality of the gaming laptop, or about it having other frivolous features. My friend does not have room for a second desktop setup so he got an MSI laptop with an i5,16GB of Ram, 500GB SSD, and a 3060 on sale for about $900.
I bought a MacBook. I regret. Limit photos you can send via airdrop - you send from iPhone 500 photos, you get 350 on MacBook. No iOS games, no Netflix app. All we have to do through the browser. Closing app twice - window and dock. No even old games. It's not for me. I waste money for a laptop to simple things. It's hilarious. I know it's MacOS but Windows is better.
Your comment is right! I miss old RPG gothic series, Hitman, Half Life 2, SWAT 4 + Syndicate..
@@damianwojcikiewicz3951 I was using my PC for work the other day because my Mac was out of commission. I also realized how much I miss using windows for productivity. There are so many quality of life features that are just missing from Mac OS. A simple one is being able to view the entire file path in the attachment window in outlook. I love the build quality of my Mac and it is great at being a laptop but the PC is a better overall computer.
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.
Hello, Lovely video by the way.
Planning to get a gaming laptop for the first time. Which brands wpuld anyone suggest especially handling the overheating issue.
you know, on Ebay there's a German shop (ab-zauberfuchs) selling like-new Acer Nitro 5s (they tell me they're show models from stores), and I bought one from them a few weeks ago. A little over 900 euros for a 17.3 inches Nvidia 3060 AMD 5600H 16 GB ram Laptop. I don't think you can beat those prices anywhere, at least right now, even if prices ARE admittedly going down on average. Only annoyance is the german keyboard, and MAYBE the fan being a bit loud, though I don't really care about it. And there were quite a few different models, with worse or better GPUs/CPUs/RAM and so on.
It's amazing going from struggling with 30 FPS on 720p (old laptop had an NVIDIA 850m GPU) to 144 fps on 1080p. (of course it depends on the game, and my favourite ones are not particularly demanding. I'm currently playing Trails of Cold Steel 3 and "Lost in Random")
I agree that, especially for a "main gaming computer" laptop that has to last a few years, an NVIDIA 3060 is probably what people should go for.
I bought the MSI katana 17 for college and spent around 2000; I definitely think it’s worth it.
There are actually a lot of discounts and sales on the gaming laptop industry since companies release newer version almost every year , You just need to catch one .
Where do i found the discount and sales bro.
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.
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.
Is yours an Omen 15 by any chance?
I love my MSI GE66 DragonShield LE. It has I7-10875H (8C/16T), RTX 2070 (Max P, 115W), 240Hz 1080P Display, Mux Switch, 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 Ram, 1TB Nvme and tons of ports (USB C 3.2 Gen 2/DP (10Gbps), USB C 3.2 Gen 2*2 (20Ggps), 2x USB A 3.2, 1x USB A 3.1, Full high speed SD Card Reader, HDMI 2.0/mini DP). It constantly outperforms RTX 3060 laptops.
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…
I have a gaming desktop but a laptop is much easier to bring around (despite my own gaming desktop being able to fit in a hand carry its not a slouch either 3080 ti and 5600x.) i know people dont have too much disposable income but I buy laptops that dont look big and ugly. Unfortunately the cheaper ones are like that.
Hi. What case did you use for your pc build that fits in a hand carry ?
What are your specs?
As I’m looking to make a small build.
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.
Why aren't CZcamsrs like yourself not recommending refurbished and outlet laptops? I got a 2021 Alienware M17 R4 with a 360hz refresh panel, full numerical, and rgb per keyboard, with a 3070, i7 10th gen, 16gb ram, and 1 TB ssd for 1400$ after tax. After selling my 2012 M17xR4, which I originally got for 400$, for that 400$ back I only spent 1000$ for a year old 3600$ laptop.
Are you using "stock" or optimized versions of the Laptops? Because my g15 with better hardware performs worse than your 3060 but with optimizations..
I managed to buy a msi gf63 thin 10UC with a RTX 3050, i5-10500h, 16gb RAM,512gb NVME SSD and a 144hz display for 570 euros
I was thinking of going for a lenovo legion 5 with a 5800h with a 3060 or 6600m but they recently went up in price as cheapest place was currys. Now debating about the lenovo ideapad with a 5800h, i think it had a 1660 ti from currys around £700. Not going to be used for gaming really but more productivity, programming, virtual machines so looking at 8 cores, good quality screen and build quality. If you have any recommendations for something that would be awesome.
Also, love the fact you also talk about laptops since it can be a lot more convenient for a lot of people
Check out the Asus ROG G15 with the 6800m
@@mikem2253 thats a fair bit out of my price range. Ideally looking for sonething around £700 to £800 max
Try to aim for a 3060. Something like the gigabyte g5 will destroy the 1660ti.
@@iihamed711 only g5 i see with a 3060 has a 10400h, which isnt what im looking for. Im aiming towards cpu performance and capability first before graphics power
@@mcgamer4474 the difference between 10400h and 5800h is minuscule compared to the difference in gpu performance
A video with actuall prices hell yea
What are your thoughts on the MSI Crosshair 17 - I have seen lots of reviews on the 15" model with the RTX 3070 graphics cards but this one has the RTX 3060 ? - I want to use it for photo and video work so any info on the screen quality would be great
The acer nitro 5 seems really good maybe if you tweak it a bit it might become a beast
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.
Exactly
Else one can get dell g15 with rtx 3050 which was 699 dollars recently in bestbuy
I have an old msi gt72 dominator pro that's like 8 years old and still runs newer games fine
Always keep looking for discounts as the gf63 thin would cost 850 euro without discount and 800 with the discount shown in the video. Though I've currently managed to find an MSI katana gf66 with an i5 11th gen, FHD IPS 144hz display, rtx3050 ti, 16gb ram for nearly the same price. Stores are cycling through deals every week so keep an eye on it.
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.
I have still my msi gt 60 from 2013. 3 ssd and 1 hdd for a total of 1,6 TB of space, 26 go ram. I had to replace the burned gtx 780m with oem one and battery. The first gpu lasted from 2013 to 2018. Nvidia gave up drivers support in 2019. 3 ssd's, 1 hdd. A pretty neat 15" back in time and the gpu was a great bang. I paid around 1500-1800€ ( add to the two 256 gb ssd's )
A thick but beautiful shaped laptop ( 17" now are about the same displacement ) survived windows 8. 8.1 and 10 upgrades without any major flows. Just have to correct a blue screen due to ssd driver problem with motherboard on ac unity. But google made the way.
More amazing, i was able to play Battlefront 2 multiplayer with the integrated Intel graphics when i wait the new gpu.
Back in 2013 it was the most powerfull mobile gpu and 15" machine. When prices were still correct. Until sli configs, titan and crazy 5000€ laptops arrived.
Would i buy again a laptop ? I don't know' i would go for the ticker one and best GPU to have a longlasting Laptop. I will keep it mine until windows 10 end of support in 2025 and maybe switch to Apple Mac book pro.
It is a brillant support but Nvidia stopped the support in 2019 is really bad, only 6 years after release, it's shamefull. So 2020 games are not launching and/or unplayable.
It was a time when a 15" laptop outperform the unreleased next gen console that were PS4 and xbox one and that is the only time i think it ever happened.
Pros :
- good times with friends on lan/online parties
- a poserfull editing video machine on the go
- upgrade with ssd's and ram and reparability for GPU and battery
- very good build quality, everything works 9 years after
- a lot a connectivity that made a good desktop replacement machine
Cons :
- noisy if you want performance, ok alone with noise canceling headphones, bad for your surrounded people
- heavy
- Thick
- Poor battery life on performance
- Nvidia support stopped after 6 years
nigga just typed a whole english essay in tha comments bih💀
@@Robwitdaflicks Nobody thinks youre cool "tha" "bih" go to hell
I really like the gigabyte G5 but if I had to change something about it is to upgrade the battery life or get a replacement that lasts longer
Hi pc centric can you do a video or benchmark. Test of softwares for architecture students
Out of all troughs laptops were would you rank the asus tuf dash premium
i bought a used rtx 3080 laptop with 64 GB of ram for $1500 couple months ago. No complaints over here.
good review
Hey Marcus hope you having a good day and also I can’t decide between getting a 3080 12gb for my new build or go
With a 6800xt instead any advice ?
There’s a plethora of videos out there comparing the two as they aren’t new cards. Start with those and use them to make YOUR OWN assessment and decision.
If you've got the money get the 3080. If you wanna save a few hundred get the 6800xt.
I got burned by Gigabyte on a laptop I bought--the P25X-v2. They never updated the nVidia drivers after 2015, and I was left with a disabled graphics card.
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
There's also the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3, with different variants
I got a refurbised zephyrus g14 (3060 version) for 800 flat.
Always go for the open box, refurbished, or gently used options. I'm expecting the laptop next Wednesday, and if there is anything wrong I'll use eBay's 30-day return guarantee as always.
How do you know if the laptop is really just a refurbished, open box, or gently used option? Compare to lets say, laptop that was used to mine crypto?
@@irulannaba6970 Well, using a gaming laptop to mine crypto is a waste of money.
Very educative
