13:22 I've got an update on this with the MSI GF63. MSI advised me that this can happen if the rear corner screw is not in. After checking my laptop, the screw was in and it appeared to be all the way, however it was about one full 360 degree rotation from being tight. After tightening the screw, this no longer happens.
U commented one hour ago how
I wonder if u would recommend the legion 7 amd advantage variant

@@RhodesyYT He commented on it when it was unlisted or private probably.
you do a review of the legion 7Amd Advantage variant?
It's available for much less than the intel one looking forward to buy one
Back to back each year Jarrod has the best lists. 👏 always excited to see the laptops I can't afford each year 😂
Fr he should cover more budget laptops
@@harshitverma4543 he totally does cover budget laptops. He covered the GF63 and Nitro 5 and there's one about 1650 vs 3050 laptops. These are all in the last few weeks/month if you look.
Always excited to see the "can't afford" comment under every Jarrod's video.
Thanks!
@@harshitverma4543 I just don't get sent any. The only ones I was able to cover this year I have to buy myself, and I can only buy so many laptops each year.
Thanks for 2022 reviews Jarrod! I watched a ton of your videos making up mind on a laptop around April - June this year as I wasn't in a huge rush to purchase. Was sorely tempted by the Legion 16:10 QHD models for the screen primarily but the availability in Australia sucked even went so far as to get in touch with Lenovo business team. The Asus TUF A15 came just in time as I was desperate to upgrade by that point and I've been very pleased with battery life for work purposes and the graphics when gaming with the RTX 3070 (non-Ti) model, thanks for funding that review model out of your own pocket. It's annoying the Asus TUF QHD model wasn't readily available in Australia either but definitely no regrets here. All the best for the Holiday Season.
Genuinely impressive that three Legion series made it to the top 5. They tend to be a bit pricier than the rest but with the current black friday deals, you can't really go wrong with any of them.
It's really not, he's an absolute simp for Lenovo, it's unbelievable how bad his bias is for them.
@@WildfireX legion is just goated
@@WildfireX why do you say that?
As an ex owner of two Lenovo laptops I'll agree that they offer great value but one thing that stood out in both were temperatures. As I owned two MSI before them I was used to laptops getting insanely hot. Now that I switched to Asus ROG I'm blown away how bad MSI and Lenovo cooling systems were. Also ask any laptop repair shop how many Lenovo Legions they get - spoiler: a lot.
@@StanleyJohnny Hmm i have lenovo legion 7 and so many my friends legion 5 ... nobody had issue with tempreatures or crashes ... yea if you have AMD in it like me you can have 75-80 but its not issue when it can run on 105 .... so cooling is realy good here ... yea if you buy laptop with graphic card what is same but can provide less W ... like my 3080ti can do 165w and and MSI or dell provide 130w yea i will have little higher tempreatures but much better performances ... and i still can lower that W to have same tempreatures than other laptops what just had to cut their performaces to not burn out :)) cooling in legion is realy nice and can give you more W (performances) with same CPU/GPU
Great round up. I was glad to see the Legion 5i pro on the best list as I bought the 3070 ti model on black Friday! It wasn't the absolute best deal, but learning how much better the graphics card was from previous comparison videos here, and the screen for the work I want to do, informed my decision. I have to say, researching the best laptops to get without knowing anything about CPUs, GPUs, ram types, etc etc, is f***ng painful! Fortunately I learnt lots from the comparison videos here (thanks!) and component comparison tests online, so it's totally doable for the uninformed to get a good deal!
How long last on battery? Gaming and watching CZcams? Thanks
@@alexandernigthzz4156 I haven't got it yet but I'll update on here when I have a play with it.
XD
@@user-jg4ur7fo4p so I've been using this for a week and if I'm working on the following apps the battery lasts about 4 ish hours:
2x chrome windows (30 tabs ish, 4 web apps)
Excel
Word
Web crawler apps
I haven't tried gaming yet so keen to see what command and conquer does lol, but I always expected to keep it plugged in so no biggie to me!
Awesome video. Hoping for a side-by-side comparison between the Acer Helios 300 and Lenovo Legion 5i Pro.
Hi Jarrod! I'm currently looking to buy my first gaming laptop, but I am not sure what to go for. I don't want something super high-end that's going to be a waste of money for me (as I'm not a pro, and I dont have lots of time to spend gaming), but I also want something that's going to be able to easily handle the games I'd like to play. Do you have any advice on what I should choose?
Hey Jarrod! Thanks for doing this video. I’m currently looking for a 12th gen intel laptop for producing music given the stronger single core performance this year, but also some casual gaming. I’m struggling to find one that has a battery that i can trust to last 8/9 hours minimum just for netflix/youtube when travelling. Are there any recommendations that spring to mind please? I’ve looked at the 2022 legion 5i but have heard battery life can be awful at 3 hours or so.
Thank you for your videos 👍👍Am thinking to buy Helios 300 but havent decide whether its the 17inch or 15inch...could you suggest what the significant difference between the two please?
Hey Jarrod, just wanted to say your vids helped me choose a gaming laptop and I went with the 5i Pro 3070ti, it’s perfect, thanks for putting out your recommendations and other content!
Thanks to @jarrod's previous review on the GP66 , I pull the trigger on the GP66HX (i7-12800HX + RTX 3070Ti) model with TB4 and I'm so happy I managed to get it $500 off from original price @bestbuy like week and half ago. Keep it up man , lot of gamers / laptop users watch your reviews 👍
Hi Jarrod, I need a laptop for a very hot climate (30-35 c on average). I'm getting more value for money with the Legion 7i but I like the cooling of the Mech 17 GP. What would you recommend?
as a regular viewer of your videos, I was really looking forward to watching you reviewing the ge66 raider 2022, as it came with a competitive price on black friday and I bought this. I was really hoping to get a review of that but unfortunately there was none and finally I made my decision based on your gp66 review and comparing its specs with the ge66.
Spot on about Lenovo and MSI. I used MSI before and their high end laptops are increasingly overpriced while their budget range laptops build quality getting worse. Switched to Lenovo 5 pro last year and very satisfied. It has without doubt, the best ports arrangement and keyboard layout. The keypad and arrow keys are spot on! Spent weeks considering my options and glad I decided on Lenovo. Jarrod’s reviews helped a lot. Lenovo is my benchmark when considering a new laptop.
I have the Msi raider ge67hx with the 1440p oled 240hz panel and 3070ti + i7 12800hx. It was 2150. I think if you look for good value then the company doesn’t matter so much as the individual price point/performance range you’re looking for. Always just pick the best in that range :)
I’m quite satisfied with my Lenovo Device!
Snagged a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 for under 500$ during Black Friday. Upgraded it myself to 16gb ram and a 512gb SSD, and it’s now a really solid rig
@@DocHudson420 Same system here! I bought ge raider 67 hx at bargain too! I am very satisfied and it is incredible machine.
@@DocHudson420Can only agree I have the GE66 with an RTX 3080, 12700h i7, DDR5- 32Gbs and it’s perfect and really worth the price
I'm new to gaming and want a gaming laptop so would you recommend the one you suggested?
Hey Jarrod, when the next gen of rtx laptops arrive, what would be their price in your opinion? The desktop cards are way more expensive than the previous gen, so should the laptops be expected to have a price hike? Again thanks for these videos!
You made me realise maybe current gen won’t lower much their prices once the newer ones release because of the sheer price of the new gen gpus
I’m hoping I’m wrong
Hey Jarrod, Hope you're doing great.
Jarrod I want to buy a gaming laptop with a powerful battery for my university studies; in addition to this, I've watched all of your reviews about 2022 laptops so far which are fascinating.
I'm not sure if I have to go with Asus G15 2022 or another laptop, what's your suggestion?
And Thanks^^
Hey Jarrod was looking at your site and im seeing the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2021) from Walmart just had a question is it the maxed out 140 watt 3070 with 8gb vram the pictures on walmart call the 3070 a 3070ti which makes it confusing just wanted some clarification on this thanks again you always make great videos
One thing i apreciate from Acer this year is that they cleaned up alot of their laptop design and make them look less gamery. Like the Nitro 5 and the Helios which i always been a fan of how they look from the front but absolutely hated the back panel design, i mean it still look gamery but you can bring them to a work place without your boss thinking you play Valorant all day. Unfortunately I already bought the 2021 Nitro 5 model since laptops are pretty low on supply and pricey where i live so now I'm stuck with this Lego Spaceship looking thing.
remember the first acer v nitro with silver hinge? that was so clean, it boggle me how they came to loudy gamer design. glad they clean up their recent design.
I'll always wonder why they thought a laptop with the word 'predator' on the lid was a good idea
@@JarrodsTech uh oh
@@JarrodsTech tell me about it, i use their backpack, which also has a massive "Predator" on it
@@alexamderhamiltom5238 I'm still using that one since 2015, good laptop besides Bluetooth and it's peeling sticky anodized finish. Switching to legion 5 soon for GPU demanding works and davinci resolve. Bought both similarly for non gamey build.
Thanks to your reviews I picked up the Lenovo 5i Pro and I'm very happy with it! Thank you. I was considering the MSI Crosshair beforehand, so I'm glad I came across your videos
Yeah his reviews and ben Hardy's are what did it for me. Just purchased that with 3070 ti 12th gen 12700h 32gb ram and 2x 1tb SSD. And I'm excited for it just gotta wait a few weeks to arrive.
I was close to getting that MSI too, and I saw a crazy deal for the i9 version on Amazon for £1400, but these reviews helped me figure out it was pants for what I need it to do and the 5i pro is the one.
@jarrods really great content. I'm going to buy one laptop in the BF. Here in Switzerland I've found 2 really good offers: HP Omen 16 5800H and 3070 or Legion 5 5800h and 3060 for the same price (990 all VAT included) which one do u recommend?
Hello @jarrod'sTech.Can you suggest a lightweight laptop that is good for gaming and work? Thank you in advance
Legion 5 Pro w/ 3070ti is easily the best value machine off the list. As a L5P 3070 owner myself, been a great experience.
I am gonna get the Legion 5i (i7 12700H+RTX3070ti@140W) in a few days.
Your experience with the Intel CPU would have been better.
@@riichobamin7612 this is literally the laptop I just received a week ago and I LOVE it. You chose well. Got mine for $1717 with taxes. Its got all of what you mentioned, plus 2 tb ssd and 16 gb RAM. Will upgrade the ram later, definitely don't need more for games right now.
@@mscrawford87 thanks for the feedback man ❤️
Especially the 5i pro with intel 12 Gen
I know slim and portable gaming laptops usually don't make it onto these lists but the Legion Slim 7 is insane. I'm a college student and I don't want to lug around a monster of a laptop everytime i go to lectures. It's only 4 lbs compared to the other laptops on this list and it only suffers slightly in terms of performance. If you care about bringing your laptop around I highly suggest the legion s7, the 2022 model is really a great improvement over the 2021 model
Great video, thank you! I'm trying to buy a video-editing laptop and deciding between the Lenovo Legion 5i (i7 12700H RTX 3060) and Acer Predator Helios 300 (i7 12700H RTX 3060) as they are both comparably priced in my country. It seems the Acer has a more color accurate screen but the Lenovo has better I/O selection and keyboard. Would be super grateful if anyone has had experience with both and can share some advice!
👍yo nice vid im planning on buying a mid laptop any tips btween Asus T15 , Acer Nitro 5 ??or any other choices btween that range ??
Rocking last year legion 7, 5800h, 3070, 32gb and it is an absolute monster in performance. Hope it will work good for at least the next 5 years :D
Great
5 years? my first laptop with i3 2nd gen is still alive and kicking now. you're good for 10 years if you take care of your laptop and aren't pursuing maximum fps.
Same! Great machine. Wish I waited a bit longer for Ti version, but works just as well. I’d only consider upgrading if the 4000 series L5P blows this out of the water & isn’t an arm/leg.
I got this model too. Exceeded my expectations. Very pleased with it. 😊
I got a legion 5 recently, same cpu but with a 3060 and 16gb, very happy with the performance and it stays very cool
Hey jarod ! I guess u forgot to mention the dell g15 5520 in your special mentions... if not then do u suggest me to purchase it ( there's a great deal for it in amazon). Thanks
Thank you for video Jarrod.
Can you please talk about the COIL WHINE noise in the Lenovo legion 5 pro. I have purchased one and the fan noise is extremely loud!! Is there a way to fix it?
I was wondering if I made a good choice with the new helios 300, Jarrod thinks so. Made me even happier about my purchase, thanks for the hard work and videos jarrod.
acer predator did well this year, i hope they continue on that, still expecting lenovo on top
I agree. I hope Acer, Asus, and Legion give each other competition!
HI Man, thanks for the video. What do you think about the Lenovo Legion Slim 7? Could it be a nice gaming laptop on the thinner side? Ty
I covered the Slim 7i earlier in the year. It's also in the full ranking video: czcams.com/video/kGrYWqw_ZBw/video.html
Hey Jarrod love the videos mate! I do a lot of work with audio and I can make your echo almost disappear and enrich the vocals to make them warmer. As a fellow tech reviewer I am happy to help for free mate no cap xD Would just make my OCD feel good hahaha thanks for the great vids!
Thanks to you and these videos I was able to jump into pc gaming by getting myself a laptop, my legion 5 has been one of my favorite investments. It was absolutely worth it.
Got the amd version?
@@mohammedomar1870 don't remember. Gonna have to check on that.
Edit: No its not the amd version. Its just the basic version.
@@sebastiancintron29 intel?
@@AkiraHartono don't know 100%. I'll post a link of the one I got
@@sebastiancintron29 well, if it's legion 5i, it's the intel CPU version. If it's legiom 5, it's the AMD CPU version
I’m a student and I picked up a Zephyrus G15 for myself this year cause of the portability and other fantastic reviews I’ve heard. I highly recommend this if you are a student looking for portability but also want a bit larger screen. Battery life is also pretty and lasts me long enough. My only gripe is that with my model I recently found a dead pixel but it is barely even noticeable and I also have a warranty so it’ll be alright to replace. Other than that I have no complaints!
I loved that lapotop until I got it and realized how much heat comming from it to my hands for my it was very annoying so I sent it back and bought a Strix g15 with way better specification for the same money
yeah me too, i have a zephyrus g15 g502iu, it ahs really good quality but for gaming it is not very good, thatr why i want to sell it and but a laptop with a more powerfull gpu. ( i bought it for 540 euros lol, it was new, the owner was anm old and only used 7 times) :)
@@liangzhu5645 don’t say it was bad for gaming if it was 500buckd
@@k.eden0 The strix g16 is 2.3 kg or 5 lbs while the Zeph g15 is only 1.9kg or 4.1 lbs. Are you joking? Obviously you can't compare two models with different target audience, you're sacrificing some thermal performance for the portability. And in this case its 1 whole pound of portability, it makes a difference.
@@zeccy337 the difference is around 5-600g LOL ok. And have you tried gameing both of them? well I did ... and if you need a light laptop then go with the zeph but if you want to game and dont want to sweat then you better with the strix... and NOBOD talked about portability so dont understand whats your problem.....
I've already got a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 5 Pro) but I still enjoy so much watching your videos!! You also helped me a lot when I was still searching. Thank you 😊
Thanks Jarrod,👍 Love your great channel and reviews!!!😉👊💖
I just got my Acer Predator Helios 300 2022 (I9-12900H, RTX 3070 TI) a few days ago and I am really happy and satisfied with it. I tried the 2021 as well and I can say that acer really did a great job at improving with the 2022 model. The performance and cooling is amazing I recommend this laptop 10 out of 10 for me.
mind doing some comparisons. i got the i7 12700H with RTX 3080 model. i want to see if the performance increase was worth the extra cash. Also does ur model have loose trackpad?

@@udaria6696 Getting mine tomorrow with same specs. How has the machine been so far for you?
@@MegaSalmanT its good. but like rtx 4000 laptops are gonna be announced on 3rd Jan. so feel bad about that. other than that you can run all games max on 1440p with RT using performance mode dlss. not sure why they didn't give the higher tier model a i9 instead of an i7 but performance is largely the same. also the 3080 is a bit on the lower watt side but performns nearly identical to a 3080 16 gig.
@@MegaSalmanT also getting about 10 fps more than rtx 3070ti on Cyberpunk Max RT setting on 1440p (49 fps vs 58 fps) That was good enough for me. Wasting a few hundred bucks for near 60 fps is good for me. RTX 3070ti model is fine but if u want to max out setting and get above 50 fps then the 3080 model is way to go.
Games which suck to run -
Spiderman Miles Morales. game runs like a bit*h with RT shadows enabled. Bad optimisation. Cant get 60 fps stable without dips. DLSS doesn't help much beyond Quality.
Witcher 3 - god this game sucs. RT dips the fps
Other games u can get stable 60 fps max. so good laptop. but man fck rtx 4000. like hell they gotta release it when i buy a new laptop
I've just got the Legion 5i Pro RTX3070Ti on BF sales last week. Worth every penny. Thank you Jarrod for your informative videos that helped me decided which one to spend my money on.
Hey. Quick question, by any chance have you tried upgrading the Lenovo legion 5 2022 model? I'm considering upgrading the ram to 64 gb, mainly because I would like to have a boost whenever I'm playing games, and also to future proof my laptop, for years to come, I really love the Lenovo legion 5 2022 model, I say it's pretty good 🙂😁
Hey Jarrod, should i get TUF F15?
i got the GF63 and its my first gaming pc but its actually not that bad for entry level gaming. For me the keyboard feels pretty good and the touch pad is really big and responsive. For the temps while gaming i get 65-75 degrees celsius (games like fh4 cod warzone 2 gta v far cry 5 etc). And still in these games with these temps i still get 60fps minimum so i would say performance isnt problem either. But the one thing i dont like about this model that it only has 512gb ssd. I agree with you that it not the best laptop in compared to these laptops but it isnt that bad. All in all very helpfull and very informative video 👍
How is the cooling?
Ive ordered the legion 5 gen 7, but they cancelled the order, but thanks to this video I found a way better deal for the legion 5 pro gen 6.
Thanks man this really helped, youre a life saver
Oh this makes me extra happy I got the Legion 7i this year. I appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. I'll continue to watch these videos even if I don't need one. :)
🤕 can u play Minecraft 2 on it
Nice list, mate. Did you hear about the Mediatek Modem T800 that promises speed up to 7.9gbps. I think this is so cool.
Glad to see Lenovo topping the charts. I got myself a 5i pro a while back, and I love it! Thank you so much Jarrod!
How's it doing?
@@farmsalot1233 Great! I recently got a storage upgrade, and now I'm able to take advantage of the extra ssd slot. 😎
I agree with this list. If only Jarrod got the Legion 7 2022 (AMD model), I think it would have been legendary!
If only Lenovo sold it with Nvidia GPU
@Ashyouknow That would have jacked up the price, caused issues with Linux (I use Linux and Nvidia runs horribly with Linux, but AMD is smooth), and hurt AMD Advantage in the long run. Sure, Nvidia has CUDA & DLSS, but FSR is pretty much equivalent (except in Control, SOTTR, & Watch Dogs Legion, but that's the game developers' fault) and for just gaming without ray tracing, the AMD Radeon 6700M is close to an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti or sometimes slightly ahead.
So unless you need top performance in content creation because Intel or Nvidia's CUDA, the Legion 7 AMD is more than fine.
I'll add something, the Legion 7 AMD is actually pretty good with an all AMD system, it's pretty fast for the price. You can get the top model at half the price of Legion 7i.
@@joy211191 I have a Alienware M17R5 All AMD ryzen 9 and 6850m XT, I got it for $2500 it runs games good and is most 15% slower than my brothers X17r2 I9 3080ti in games, also it was $1500 less
Yeah wish Lenovo sent that one over
Your videos are just on time , on point , on level 👌
Can you also make a site with all the best desktop deals? That would be so helpful too, great job this year.
Is the Helios 300 3060 black Friday deal for the 2022 version or an older model? In the pictures it looks like an older model so idk
It's the 2022 latest model that's in sale...
2022 bro
It's the 2022 model!
Loving my Legion 7i and even happier it won your best laptop of the year. Fantastic laptop!
i just got a a aorus 15 xe4 and i have been trouble with the fan noises.. should return it or keep it? if i return it what shoul i get instead (i got it from canadians computers and electronics)
Is the Legion 5i Pro - a 2021 model gen. 6? On the market for one but not sure if I’m looking at the right ones. Because there is a gen 7 one but not sure it’s the one in the video
I would say the lenovo ideapad 3 would be a good deal if you have around 500 bucks. Acer has merged the build quality from the triton series to the helios one, thus the vast improvement.
I was also thinking why he didn't mention IdeaPad... 😧
I use it. It's decent but come on. It's underpowered af lol. And thermals suck. Would recommend the tuf series instead
Gracias jarrod!!! En mi país, tanto la Aorus 17 como la MSI crosshair estaban en oferta ... Por tu vídeo decidí esperar un poco y comprarme las nuevas laptop con 4070, saludos.
Thanks for this year's videos! Helped me decide on ordering a Lenovo i5 pro this Thanksgiving.
I'm curious, what do you think of Omen laptops?
Unfortunately, I haven't had any Omen laptops this year to try. I might be on my way to resolving the issue for next year though.
this is irrelevant to the vid but i was looking at an ideapad gaming 3 the r5 5600h with the rtx 350 ti and 16gb with 1t ssd do u think its a good choice or no? the things i would love to do on a gaming laptop is school work and some after affects and games like valorant, minecraft, forza and maybe titled games like god of wars etc..
Super impressed with my Legion 7i, a nice glass trackpad with haptic clicks would be the only thing that i really wish it had.
hey jarrod, i recently picked up the legion 5 with the 6600m gpu for 1100 dollars where i live. After downgrading from windows 11 to windows 10 and installing new drivers, the laptop had some serious issues and had bluescreen issues to the point that i almost refunded it. however now i got it working by making the laptop go back to its factory settings. it does seem to be worth the price now that i think about it. Thanks alot for your help! it would be nice to make some videos on things to do right after you buy a laptop so that the consumer may find any defects immediatly. again, thanks alot ( not sarcastic btw)
Very smart idea
Just out of curiosity, why did u downgrade to windows 10?
And these drives u installed , do they automatically start downloading or u have to look online for them
if the laptop comes with factory windows 11 then don't downgrade to windows 10. You don't have to fix what not broken. Plus most new laptops don't have windows 10 drivers. Only windows 11 which suxs

About a month ago after long research and watching tons of videos on Jarrod's and other channels, reading several in-depth reviews, I have decided to go with the Legion 7i - model with 12800xh CPU, 32GB RAM and 3070 Ti - I just don't think that extra performance of 12900hx and 3080 Ti worth 1000 EUR. I've got it for approximately 2800 EUR and spent some extra on Alienware AW 2721D display (which is honestly stunning!), 2TB Samsung SSD gen 4, Alienware keyboard and mouse + huge SteelSeries mouse pad. My biggest disappointment this year was Alienware x17 R2 - not only it's impossible to buy it officially in many smaller markets in EU, only via some middlemen with their crazy additional price (like +400 EUR), but also the notebook's performance is rather mediocre for that kind of money - especially CPU, which is very important for me as for a software developer (and hence HX processors make sense for me). I've been a big fan of Alienware, but this time I've decided that at least this year they are really behind the competition and thus I have to look elsewhere. After putting everything together - Legion notebook and Alienware perepherals I've had no buyer's remorse and been very happy with the final result🙂 There a couple of things which are not ideal in Legion 7 like lack of Windows Hello, complexity of disassembling (though I've had that iFix it toolset, it was an extreme pain in the butt to put additional SSD into the NB), weird feeling from the keyboard (it's not bad, it's just different and not necessarily better feeling in comparison with Alienware 17 R4 keyboard) - but these are fortunately minor issues I can leave with. It's a shame though that Lenovo doesn't have 17 inch version of these Legion series notebooks with beefier cooling, raised TDP and far-better versatility for some people (albeit with worse portability).
5mo later how you liking it?
@@InnerCityX It's a truly good machine, I love it! The only downside of owning it is as I've stated already is rather complicated opening if you need for example add more storage or RAM.
@@mightyquattro thanks for your reply!
@@InnerCityX you're welcome!
I switched from an 8 year old Dell laptop to Legion 7i recently and I am blown away by the performance. My only gripe is poor battery life. Other than that I have just praises for this beast
How long does the battery last for say watching a movie or average use???
man u just witnessed transition from hell to heaven
Awesome vid Jarrod. I went for a Asus tuf with the 165Hz screen based on your reviews. I'm only looking to play world of tanks on it so hopefully this will be sufficient.
Hey Jarrod! What would you think of a Legion 5i with an RTX 3070 Intel 12700 and a WQHD 2560 x 1440 165hz screen? Is it worth it? It's kinda expensive but this configuration I think is killer, what do you think?
Being a MSI GF63 user, I'm somewhat uneased with this. It really is not the best budget gaming laptop ever, but for the price, it's okay for some casual gaming and for my studies. The build quality is fine for me, since I use an external keyboard to game, and these days I only use the laptop keyboard since I don't game with my exams nearby. It's still a definite improvement over my 11 year old HP Pavilion g6, although I'll surely either upgrade after 5-6 years or build a beast machine myself (although highly unlikely with the skyrocketed cost of living here) and I'll be relying on your videos for the best choice. (Had I seen this before buying this, I would definitely have gone for that HP laptop you mentioned.)
Which HP did he mention?
I own the Aorus 17 and it works great. What makes having the worst laptop on this list less painful is that I got it on sale for 40% off MSRP. It was a 17" 3070Ti with 1tb ssd In the same price range as 15" 3060/3050 with 512ssd. At that point, I can't refuse the value.
With a good deal it is absolutely great laptop for the price 👍🏻
Similar, got the 15" one with 3070ti and 16gb ram for $1200. I use an external monitor 99% of the time, so the mux switch really doesn't matter to me. The specs are great and runs amazing. Definitely at full price it would deserve the F-tier, but for this price, probably best value you can get if you don't mind the mux, garbage software, and odd placement/lack of ports.

This channel is an invaluable resource. Thanks again Jarrod!
Beautiful review! Great work mate! Thank you very much!
Would love to know which runs coolest?! I have an msi gf75 thin atm and I could fry eggs on it 🔥
I'm shocked Asus TUF F15 (Gaming, not Dash) isn't here. It's a beast.
I'm also surprised it's not mentioned that the TUF has a horrible coloured screen (144hz variant)
So. Is it worth getting a Tuf A15 32GB, 2TB , 3050Ti (not 3060) for 1080 (+ taxes)?
Or is it better to wait and see what CES has to offer considering phoenix's immediate release.
I am more interested in the sturdiness and battery life than the gaming aspect btw.
Very helpful and awesome shirt!

Video Idea : Every laptop brand's bios and control panel softwares ( For laptops you tested )
I think the bios and control panels of these laptop brands might take part of thinking what laptop to buy.
What's your opinion on the MSI GL 66 Pulse? How does it compare?
Hello @JarrodsTech a huge fan of your videos here. I want a laptop for game development. In this case game development on Unreal Engine 5. What kind of laptop can you recommend. I know most people will say "Just build a PC with powerful components".. But i need the laptop for the portability
Hi Jarrord,
I'm really confused between three choices :
1- ASUS ROG G14 2022 (R9 6900h/ RX 6800s)
2- Legion 5 pro gen6 ( R7 5800H / RTX 3070)
3- Helios 300 ( that mentioned in the video)
Main purpose from the laptop is for 3d modeling and rendering ( 3Ds Max / vray / Blender / Adobe programs), and absolutely for gaming.
Which one will be your choice for this kind of work?
Thanks a lot.
Legion 5 pro is the best of these three. Amazing screen for content creation+ Nvidia GPU which destroys rx6800s in G14 in terms of rendering
the Legion has a larger and better screen so for editing that is my pick, given that all of then are good already in gaming
Go with the 5i pro.
Go for legion and if u can't afford, go for the beast helios 300
Helios 300
I was expecting the Dell g15 to be on the worst list given the issues Jarrod experienced, but surprisingly it wasn't there xD
Considering the BSOD situation with that laptop plus the AWCC software, which is even WORSE than Gigabyte's, I'm legitimately shocked it didn't get a dishonorable mention. Also, the move go remove on of the two SSD slots from the 2021 model this year really just pisses me off.
Do you have a recommendation for a laptop that’s fairly portable, powerful, decent battery, and that runs cool? I just bought the g14 with the 6800s and it’s great but I’m worried about it’s thermals.
what do you think of "asus zenbook pro duo ux582" i saw your review of the older model but this one has 3070 instead of 2060 graphic card and it is intel Intel Core i7-10870H
it is a great multitasking laptop but would you say it is a good gaming laptop
also i know about zephyrus but it is literally twice the price for 16in instead of 15in screen which is not a deal breaker

Shame you couldn't get the Legion 7 2022 AMD. I really like it and the $1800 price tag for an AMD Ryzen 6800H and AMD Radeon 6700M, which is in between the RTX 3070 & RTX 3070 Ti in terms of raw gaming performance. I haven't found a game that didn't hit 60 fps at maximum settings without ray tracing on my Legion 7, even at 2560x1600.
Plague Tale Requiem.
@@udaria6696 What is that game and what graphics card is recommended for it?
@@cameronbosch1213 its a game which you cant run at 60 fps at 1440/1600p at maximum settings. Its recommended system requirements is an rtx 3070. When the game gets Ray Tracing i doubt any of us would be able to run it.
@Udaria I did exclude ray tracing in my original commnet.
@@udaria6696 I do agree though.
Hello new subscribere here! What do you think about the MSI katana 17?
Hey Jarrod, love your vids but i had a question, my laptop has yhe MSI software which has a discrete gpu mode, does that work as a mux switch?
Yes. That should be the toggle for the mux switch. You can check instructions here: jarrods.tech/how-to-turn-off-optimus-on-your-gaming-laptop/#MSI
@@JarrodsTech dude I am a big fan of yours, thanks for the help
Imo, the Zephyrus G14 Ryzen 7 or 9, RX6700s or RX 6800s, is the best/dream laptop for me, because it is lot less gamer-y looking that everything, and it has great specs, also an all AMD system is best for a good Linux experience which I strive for.
Ryzen 7 or 9, Intel i7 beats it
@@Ayshhh__not at 45 watt and not in terms of battery life. So it comes down to your preferences and the better performance comes at a price.
Glad I bought legion 7i earlier. Not sure why they increased the price recently by $500 which is shocking.
They have a bunch of sales going now and rakuten cash back is at 15%, so it probably evens out.
@@heroofharo yeah I did the same but for the 5i pro rtx 3070ti 32 gb and 12700h great decision IMHO
Hi can I get some advice please? I'm wanting to get my 16yr old an entry level gaming laptop up to the value of $1,000 Aud. I'm comparing 2 at the moment. Lenovo Ideapad 3i GeForce RTX3050 or Dell G15 5515. Which one would be better please?
I just recently bought the Legion 5i Pro thanks to your help Jarrod, appreciate the content!
why are you not mentioning about the dell/Alienware.
I just brought DELL G15 special edition, it really looks massive compare to most of the product which you shown.
BCS it's worse compared to these watch his 36 laptop review rank
@@MK-jq8bn I have watched already he didn't mention anything about G15 5221
@Ram Prasath If you watch his review this year, they removed an SSD slot compared to 2021 and the BSOD issues he had would have made me send it back if I had it.
Hi Jarrod , not sure if you can still read this comment. I am thinking to purchase A15 ASUS TUF Gaming Notebook 15.6" FHD AMD Ryzen 7 6800H GeForce RTX 3070 16GB DDR5 512GB SSD Windows 11 Home ,
The only hesitation point for me is just it seems that the CPU temperature is extremely high for this laptop , it's like ~70 when just rest .
Do you hv any ideas about would it be a big concern or I should check Legion 5 ? (Legion 5 is good but just the price issue looks like A15 is cheaper..)
Brilliant video! Based on your recommendation, i currently have your top 2, a Lenovo legion 7i 2022 (16", i9-12900, RTX3090Ti 16GB, & 32GB DDR5 4800 RAM), and an Acer Helios 300 2022 (17", i7-12700, RTX3079Ti 8GB, 16GB DDR5 RAM). The former is £2,800 in the UK with the latter at £1,600. I have just over a week to decide which to keep, with 1 option being to upgrade the Acer to 64GB for about £200. I mostly play RPGs like New World & strategy games like Valheim. Originally I was planning on the Acer then building myself a top of the range desktop next year when the RTX4090Ti & AMD 7000 3D VCACHE CPUs come out. But I'm contemplating keeping the Lenovo & waiting on the RTX5000 series to setup for true 8K gaming. Any advice please? I currently have an LG C2 48" OLED TV for gaming on.
Check and compare thermals and cooling. Better the temperatures, good it is.
For a laptop, I personally recomend nothing more than i7-12700, RTX3070Ti. Anything more does not add significant much other than heat and causes breaking down of components in long run and mind you- low battery power.
i9 is not worth having unless your workload demands extra cache and cores.
Jarodds already made clear in many videos the most person can go is 3070TI in a laptop ( restricted cooling)
For really to take benefits, need great cooling and larger 17.3 inch machines for 3080
Just to add: 4080 and 13th gen are even power hungry and Alienware is teasing 18inch because no sense in putting those in 16 inch .
Dear Jarrods quick question: when playing at 1440p, would a 3080 or 3080ti be seriously bottlenecked by a 5900hx?
Just wondering if i should regret not buying that Nitro 5 with 5900HX, 3080, 32gb ddr4 3200 for 1500€ to wait for some laptop deals with better cpus and DDR5.
Keep the good job Jarrod,
Your 2021 best price per performance laptop is my daily driver, And it's been amazing. Love your recommendation. 👍🏻
Jarrod, from now on.. would it be possible to add to your reviews measuring the heat sink dimensions?
What about the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE, how do you feel about that one?
sadly its not always easy to find more information about graphic card like watts and tdp.. any tips here?
your videos are very helpful man
Hi Jarrod, can you make a video comparing the Asus ROG Flow X16 and the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16? Greate video btw
Im waiting for your your next gen laptop reviews ❤
I hope the 40 / 7000 mobile gpus come out soon 😬 ... i need a New one but i will wait
asus stryx g15 electropunk edition good for gaming ?or should i go for tuf instead?
