my pick is the g16
Mine is Acer Predator Helio Neo 16, like it's perfect in budget and is pretty clean looking as well!
2017 Intel MacBook pro
Probably Razer Blade 18. I just like big portable machines 😂.
@dave2D
Can I please have one of your laptop. I live in Ghana, I want to start learning programming, to be specific web and software development but I can’t afford to get a laptop to begin with. 😢😢 being following you for a while now
Same here. G16 2024.❤
To whoever that needs to hear this: You don't need to buy a new laptop.
I do! Mine is from 2017 :(
You don't need to buy current gen laptop. Last gen laptop would suffice for most of your gaming need. People tend to not have an idea what they want from the laptop gaming.
My laptop can't run most games that I want to play, I think this would be a good savings goal for me
Thanks! For real, thanks.
Nope. You're wrong. I *need* to buy a new laptop since the one I'm using is over 6 years old, runs maximum 5 seconds off of the battery and partialy held together by ducttape. I appreciate the sentiment but no... it is time.
The stacks of the laptops is such a flex
They're review samples. He doesn't own them.
@@tomalexander4327not all of them, think he bought some if not most with his own money
@@tomalexander4327 most companies forget they exist and end up letting them have the laptops

Dave is going through some weird hair phases now. First it was common Asian dads. Then it was the long John's. And now it's the dye era. Pretty sure it'll be RGB soon. Must be tough coming into his 50s.

Can you recommend anything specific?
We are listening to you: which laptop should we get ?
Of course they have to. The more power/quality you want, the more you have to pay.
He does say at the end, the best value is to buy older models at sale price.
Any good recommendations under $1200 ???
2:33 I just LOVE how each CPU is characterized as their own helldivers 2 character, they all look so unique yet still equally capable and powerful in their own right. Awesome

This was very informative! Really like the format of just doing a brief overview of all the main brands since there is mainly just iterative updates every year now. And when there is something actually new and worth talking about, that could have a more in depth look and video. Definitely will be looking back to this, since im in the market for a new laptop myself. Great as always dave.
this is the exact vid i wanted from dave,
thanks a ton mate!!
Ok but I missed your outro phrase, thanks for bringing it back!
Thanks for giving me an opinion on this year's laptops, Dave!
Ugh, those Copilot keyboard buttons are so cringe, I can't even. I'm getting Cortana 2.0 vibes, but this time it's forced onto the hardware as well. Also no decent mid tier laptop for less than 2000$. Who is buying these devices and why?
microsoft its so annoying with that Copilot shit
They wouldn't and couldn't be able to store GPT 3/4 model in NPU, so who cares about ai bullshit in hardware.
Only things they demonstrate is background blur in video conferencing and some chopped versions of ai images generation and some small language model chat.

Thank you for a great video and the fantastic production quality.
one of the best dave 2d videos in a while, i feel like dave is just so much better when he talks about laptop and accesories. dont get me wrong i also love the phone content as well.
thank you SO MUCH for making such a clear and noob-friendly video about all the wattage nonsense (to me) and comparisons! As a gamer from the 80's, I'm so behind on all of these spec numbers. You're awesome.
You can partly lay the blame on Nvidia for artificially limiting their GPUs based on the TGP. Heck, even the maximum TGP can be misleading becoz the performance was usually maxxed out around 100 watt for the 4050 to 4070 line.

Racism
@@Xevos701 It's a great allegory. The white laptop isn't necessarily better than a black or silver laptop but just by virtue of its color it already gets some special treatment.
@@theviniso yeah he makes waaaay to many "it's white so it's better" jokes to not think he's at least a little racist.

@@israelramirez0202 Eh, it could also be that he just really likes white devices. Let's give him the benefit of doubt until he actually mistreats someone.
The transition from split screen and full screen on Dave looks sick. Another good work of Dave's standard!
i'm such a sucker for great editing. this video takes the cake!
Great video! Surprised the Legion Slim 5 14 was not mentioned… especially since it has an oled screen but cost a fraction of the Asus g14.
Damn, the long locks are gone. Back to short-haired Dave then.
finally
much needed your thoughts for this one. thank youu
Dave, that was an incredible comprehensive overview of the top gaming laptops our there now for 2024. Kudos!
Long time follower, first time poster...thanks for all the informative and amazing videos throughout the years! Always excited when I get a notification for a new upload!
Awesome Guide.
but i missed the old smooth outro with ambient Music
Loved it. Great overview. Also now got to keep an eye out for Core Ultra deal drops
8:34 You could have made an easy video that would basically say nothing but get views, but you didn't. Mad respect for respecting the viewers time. I can't think of a single content creator that does it this well. Thank you.
Don’t buy gaming laptops in 2024. 2025 will be huge year for gaming laptops. Way better specs
cant we say that for like, every year? how significant will it be?
This was my thinking last year, gonna keep waiting forever at this rate 😭
Let me save more money for you, for better performance.
Don't buy gaming laptops in 2025. 2026 will be a huger year for gaming laptops. WAAY BETTER SPECS AND PRICE.
2030 will be the one for sure
but this year the new chips are just rebranded ones with the only new thing being AI

Thank you for everything that you do, Dave. Your channel is the go-to recommendation for any laptop related content that I need to consume. Crisp and great information!
A++++ production 🔥 Dave crushed it
Cool use of the HD2 load out.
your editing has lvled up substantially 👍
Bless dave for this video, as always not milking out each product for views just directly reviewing them all in one video. Really helpful no need to watch each laptop video. Decided now, Gonna get that razer 14. Thanks dave!

Clear and concise video on gaming laptops. Thank you for helping us choose what's best for us 🫡 Appreciate it.
Word.
Thanks alot! dave,
This video is just what I needed to make up my mind, I've been deliberating on buying a new gaming laptop for about a week now, not knowing if nvidia would be releasing new line of GPUs next year.
DAVE love your channel bought my lat too laptops from your reviews the lenovo y700 in 2017 and y540 in 2020. i think we need best laptops to run LLM and Image Gen models i suspect theres a lot of us
Vram seems to be the biggest bottleneck in most of the laptop GPUs right now
Frustrating and makes no sense to have a 8gb 4070 with a 3.2k screen
The editing has definitely stepped up and Dave's hair is going through some RGB phase.
Need more of longer and in depth vids
Watching this on my G16 2024! I wanted a 16" gaming laptop that is also thin and light enough for use for school (Engineering), and this one, although expensive, fit my needs the best. Was also considering the Legion, but picked this one due to the Core Ultra chip providing better battery life.
Great analysis, sir. Keep up the good work!
Who all came here by seeing thumbnail
no shit Sherlock, how else would you get to a video
lenovo slim 5 14: I exist... do i?
Yeah mind blown the Legion Slim 5 14 was not mentioned… especially since it has an oled screen but cost a fraction of the Asus g14.
Thanks for this. After a few years of exclusively being a DIYPC user I now need to migrate back to a laptop, this is an awesome, all-around roundup, great stuff as always Dave!
great stuff dave,
I love how you explain very clearly the differences between cpu stacks ( higher power consumption vs lower power consumption)
i' was a bit concerned at the start of the video when you showed all those laptops stacked on top of each other... doesn't that hurt the laptop at the bottom?
just curious.
Although I like the new design and look of asus's new g14, I kinda prefer the old design better... idk call me crazy, the lift screen hinge that helped with cooling, the higher gpu options, and the overall look of it, it was a bit thicker, and I feel could handle temps better. plus the materials weren't bad either, it still feels solidly built made of magnesium allow, with full glass touchpad, and mini led screens.
I love the helldivers 2 references

@@arandomfish9630 funny guy
Where are the tuf series of asus.
I got to say that this is the most comprehensive, yet easy to follow buying guide for the gaming laptops period! Very well done Dave.
I really love how you give in-depth explanations about the tech you review in all of your videos. Keep the great work up😊
Dave's hair is back in the emo teenager phase
Very nice breakdown, thanks for the summary!
i really like the gaming laptop series video you made, it would be even helpful if you would make another series of best budget gaming laptop 🤔
2 views in 30 seconds? man Dave2D fell off
Amazing video and reviews all put together nicely.
Great video! Very informative and well paced.
Dave2D-I have been following you for several years-and I think this is the best video review you have ever published. First, the comparisons were particularly clear, with a minimum of technobabbel. I also like that you took the time to actually show us the devices you were discussing. But the best part was your sensitivity to pricing. Far too often, we get reviews of great products which are unfortunately very expensive. Your recommendations on what to buy at what price and when to look for sales was invaluable. Job Well Done! P.S. I am a Senior Citizen who is also a confirmed geek. I must tailor my purchases to a very limited income from Social Security in the United States.
I'm just imagining how much Swamp Gooch these will collect in the heatsink before they end up in my shop at some point 😅Awesome video man, editing is on point.
Can you make a video on the one you prefer from all these? Maybe different standpoints like “best budget” and then “best overall” between these
Thanks man!
great video, great explanation, thanks for that
Great comparison Dave, nice clear charts and nice clear explanation, of what at the moment is a confusing market because of all marketing speil companies are bombarding us with.👍
2D going in with some pretty wild hair colouring these days, never seen the maroon top grey side before.
Nice Review, Recently i have bought the Lenovo LOQ fully specd gaming laptop for my gaming + office Design work. its an incredible device with an amazing price point i bought it for 450 Omani Riyals = 1,167.000 USD
So glad to see more and more gaming pc going for the slick look. Cool to have a gaming laptops that you can bring to professional meetings
love the vid, you probably the only tech review youtuber out here that put all of this laptop in one video. it is ver useful.
I am very satisfied with my Legion slim 5 14,5” Oled 7840hs with Rtx 4060.
I can play Warzone in silent mode 70/80 fps basic settings. For me besides performance being as silent as possible is a must for a gaming rig
I'm so happy Dave finally embraced the omen lineup... but I'm still waiting for the Omen 16 review pls 😭😭
I got a g14 a week ago and I absolutely love it. The proprietary power is my only downside so far but it does charge via usbc PD at a decent rate, and the power brick is quite small so not that much of a problem.
The device itself is great. Powerful, quiet, light and thin.
Linus tech tips looked at those with some Asus guys on site, and they claimed the proprietary charger is just an efficiency thing (due to usb c not having large enough copper lines), and you can just as well charge with USB-C. Did you notice a difference with equally strong adapters?
@@TheTrueAnarchel It definitely charges fastest via the proprietary. It comes with it's own usbc adapter too, and knows when you're using a different usbc adapter and doesn't charge as fast. I haven't done any tests myself but seems will fully charge in about two hours from a decent 3rd party adapter.
Overall I'm still really happy, it's nice knowing I don't have to bring the proprietary brick with me all the time even if it's not as efficient just on usbc.
Hi Dave, after a long time it feels I can give you a few free suggestions. The split you did in the video with you in 30% of the screen and the product occupying 70%, that didn't feel neat to my eyes maybe I'm wrong but it felt so, rather have a circular cutout at the bottom right of the screen or just have the product or you occupying the whole screen like always. Even the canera angle from behind you from the right side felt was not very accurate rather stick to the overhead.
Secondly its been a long time we have not had a setting up a new laptop video from you actually this opinion comes to my mind as I've got a new legion pro7i😅.
I'm a big fan mate dont take it otherwise all ❤. Hopefully you read it.😊
I know it is a small thing, but I love when you have a camera on your face talking and a camera on the device being opened up. Slick
Watching this review on my G14. I'm so impressed!
Man I am such a Razer fan now. I got the Blade 15 2021 Advanced for college a couple years back and I am still in love with it. Just the best laptop. I got it on a huge sale too so that was awesome. Upgraded the nvme and the ram and I don't need a new laptop for a long time. Might get an external gpu someday
Curious to see if new TB5 egpus are going to come out with the much improved bandwidth. Still rocking the blade stealth with the core X for now! Also would be so sick if Razer reintroduces the blade stealth with the new intel core ultra chips, would be such a compact, powerful device with much improved battery life that it needed, powered fully by just USB-C!
I've got Lenovo Legion 9i gen9 2024, but I do a lot of coding, game dev, code compilation, video editing and much more CPU bound tasks. If I would work with Google docs and presentations, my choose is g16.
This honestly made me feel better about ordering a 2023 model. Snagged an Acer Predator Triton 14 with a 4070 for $1249. Only gripe is stuck with 16GB of RAM, but everything else checked all the boxes at that prestige price.
Thank you! short and sweet!
Got my G14 and i love it. It do be getting hot though at the said area in the review to 60 plus degree Celsius for CPU and 50 plus degree Celsius GPU.
I have the X14 from two years ago. I love this thing. I got it because I saw your review of it. No regrets. My chip set is not as good as the ones from 2024, but it is still enough.
0:36 Noice Transition with the Laptops 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Subtle Brilliance 👌
Loving that Helldivers flair there!!!
I picked up the 2024 G16 with 4070 from BestBuy as an excellent open box for only $1450. Such an amazing deal. It will be replacing my 16” MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro. Not as good battery life but everything else feels like a solid upgrade for almost half the price of getting an M3 Pro MacBook.
Love the 60fps videos. MKBHD needs to learn a thing or two from Dave.
Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
woah, i havent watched dave's videos in a longtime and i just notice he has white hair. Its been soo long, thanks to you from the whole community for giving us such great informational videos Dave. Much love
Such a sleek, well edited video
The Asus proprietary connector is because USB-C can't handle that high voltage with current, so they designed it with this connector. You still can charge most Asus laptops with USB-C, but only this adapter can handle even GPU on full power with full cpu.
Dave when the new ARM chips come out will you do a comparison video to what’s currently on the market
Can you please make a Video to the Lenovo LOQ series (Budget Lineup)?
One of the cool things about Dave's video is laptop wallpapers. It's awesome!!!
Keep letting it come through bro! Looks good!
I’m studying architecture and wanted a 4070 laptop just for the 8GB VRAM. Got disappointed by the newer Asus because of the fan noise, wattage isn’t as important so I guess I’ll check the Omen Transcend.
White model looks 🔥
