    I bought my laptop a couple years ago based on your recommendation (Lenovo Legion 5 Pro) and was very happy with it. Thanks to your video on it, I knew exactly what I was getting and how it would perform in games. I recommended your page to a friend who ended up buying an Acer Nitro 5 based on your video and found a good price on your site.. he's also very happy and got exactly what he expected. Your reviews are exhaustive but not unnecessarily long and just stick to exactly what the viewer needs to make an informed decision. This is the point where I would leave a critique of how you could improve going forward but you know what? Just keep doing exactly what you're doing. If I ever find myself in the market for a laptop for myself or family/friends, your review is the first thing I look for.

That's how I opted for a MSI Pulse 15 (with i7 13gen | RTX4060) for $1150 and I've been using it for a little over a month, I really love the way it works and the performance, for me without a doubt a good choice 👍

    I tend to avoid budget gaming laptops since I need them for work, and budget gaming laptops tend to have a very gamer aesthetic and have really poor battery life. But it is still interesting to see how much power you can get at 1/2 or even 2/3 the price of a standard gaming laptop nowadays.

    • @TechGuyBeau
      @TechGuyBeau Před 8 měsíci +21

      i did a review of the LOQ like Captain Jarrod here. Its budget in price but TBH it is still quite nice. Battery life is solid
      Other options if you are USA/Canada based are the legion 5 slim (14" or 16") as well as the Slim 7 amd (which just saw a big price cut). Ive reviewed all these and like them all

  • @blackstangt
    @blackstangt Před 8 měsíci +48

    I just purchased an ASUS TUF A16 from best buy for $749.99. As you mentioned at the end, picking based on power to performance alone is not for everyone. This laptop is smaller than the competitors, has a 16:10 display that is color accurate, a longer battery life, 100w USB charging, a numpad, low noise, 16GB of RAM, and nice chassis. The drawbacks are the 720p webcam, cooling system for gaming (manual profile fixes this), no touchscreen, and lack of NVIDIA 4000 features (not a big deal at this resolution IMO). The use case is 99% school for someone who was using a budget computer with a Ryzen 2500u and 8 GB RAM, to be able to play game with me without it looking like a slideshow. As it was a present, quality feel and look were important. The 16:9 screens and plastic chassis look like they waste space and give a budget feel. It was important to take them to Best Buy and see what they liked. Your reviews helped greatly, thanks.

      Most of the issues I have are software related, just not sure exactly what is causing them, but the hardware is fine. Performs better and quieter than the Dell G7 7700 (10750h, 2070M) that I am likely gonna sell soon

    For me personally I ended up getting the Gigabyte G5 KF 4060 variant as there was a sale not to long ago and I ended up getting it for about $1200 bucks vs the $1600-$1900+ for the other laptops with 4050s. It would of been nice to maybe have other models as they are of higher quality overall but the the price increase for me at least here in Australia wasn't worth it.
    I've since done quite a bit of configuration with fan curves, voltages for the cpu and gpu and made some adjustments to the way the screen displays colors and its overall made a huge difference to the usability of the laptop. Out of the box its not the best and if I can do it I wish gigabyte did. It also would of been nice if they didn't handicap the GPU watt wise. The CPU is always the thing that runs way hotter where as the GPU just doesn't. I don't think I've seen it past 75c ever.

    @JarrodsTech I purchased the Gigabyte G5 from Best Buy for 799 which is cheaper as stated in your video (Black Friday Deal). However, the G5 I purchased comes with the i7 12650H which is higher than the i5 in your tests AND 16 gb of DDR5 4800 ram (also an upgrade over your test model). Based on the lower price and these upgrades, would the G5 make the list of the top 3 or is it still a bust? I was also strongly considering the Asus TUF A16 Ryzen 7 7735HS with RX7600S. Should I return the G5 and get the A16?

      Also considering this! These laptops rarely go on sale outside the US, in our country the LOQ 4050 6gb costs the same as the G5 4060 8gb.. I'm considering the G5 because as Jarrod stated, having more VRAM is better for future games.
      That point alone made it contradict why he's saying to avoid the G5 laptop.

    Unfortunately Lenovo is overpriced here in the Philippines and Acer Nitro and Helios Neo are priced nicely. The newer HP Victus laptops aren't sold here nor the last year's models aren't good either. Funnily enough ASUS Tuf series are "affordable" here but ASUS has insane customer support service in the Philippines so that's why many people here want ASUS. Dell's G15/G16 are overpriced while thankfully people aren't falling Gigabyte's 4060 laptop. MSI's GF63 is quite a seller here, even if the hinge problem is known people just want to have a gaming laptop especially it's the cheapest rtx 4050 available.

    $700-800 laptops are tough because a lot of times they only come with 8 GB of system RAM and a 512 GB SSD, which let’s face it, just aren’t enough for modern gaming. So then you have to spend extra to upgrade those when for not much more on top of that you can buy something with those options out of the box with most times a better CPU and/or GPU. For example, right now you can get a Victus with an Intel HX CPU, 4060, and 32 GB of RAM from Costco for $1000.

According to HWInfo my panel is AU Optronics B156HAN15.H but i've seen another 144Hz panel model in reviews for the same Asus TUF A15, so I was wondering which one is yours.

    I have been using Loq i5 12th gen rtx 4060 variant.
    Pros -
    Display
    Usually displays are shit in this bracket but this is exceptional, bright and colors are great compared to my company lap (HP probook)
    Battery(normally) compared to other competitors - i got around 5hr backup with youtube, netflix and google on 80 percent brightness without backlit keyboard lights .
    Hardware, - overall its made of plastic but the finish is amazing, blue finish at the fans is a chefs kiss. Looks amazig ( its like ideapad and legion had a baby)
    Performance on gpu front.
    I played FH5 amd gta 5 at extreme settings, I use a monitor( which runs at 75hz) boi forza on extreme graphics is something else... I am extremely satisfied with the performance tbh. The fans are great, thermals are well under control ( i use a fan coolled base that also has an impact)
    Cons - this is made like a brick and weighs like a brick too including the charger its a bit heavy. But good for workout 😅
    Performance on battery mode(battery save mode) is stupidly trash like its a laggy mess, scrolls are gittery once u move to performance mode the disparitybis vissible. Wish they had M1 level of cpu on battery mode.
    Speakers are utter garbage my phone soumds better than this.

    Got the Nitro 5 a while ago after watching Jarrod's 2022 review of it and I love mine - 12700H with a 3070 and 32GB of DDR4. One of the big selling points of the Nitro 5 that makes it really attractive to me and potentially others is that despite being a laptop, it has a LOT of storage options. Mine came with a PCIE Gen4 1TB boot drive, but there was a second M.2 slot free AND a 2.5-inch bay as well, which is rare to see these days on laptops. This allows you to add another M.2 drive and then also either a SATA SSD or even a high-capacity SATA 2.5-inch HDD if needed.
    I ended up getting two more 2TB drives on sale and now happily have my entire Steam library and a few dozen movies and shows across my 5TB of storage on the go.

    I think you should also consider battery and power efficiency when it comes to gaming laptops. Most people buy gaming laptops to use them in college or school.
    Gaming laptops are objectively better than work laptops when it comes to value. That’s if you are asking why people buy “gaming laptops” if they are gonna use it for school.
    I wish there was a laptop with only a 7000 series AMD cpu with a powerful iGPU as its graphics. That’s probably the best way to be a laptop in terms of being used for gaming and work while also being cheap. It has great power efficiency. Discrete graphics tend to consume battery even when they aren’t being used in laptops with two gpus.

      You mean a Ryzen 7000 with Radeon 780M? There’s more than a few models with the 7840U, but it’s not featured here since they tend to be pricier business laptops, and the “dGPU better” mentality runs when thinking of gaming laptops.
      If you meant more powerful chips like the 7940HX3D or 7840HS, yeah those are rarely ever sold w/o a dGPU.

    Yes, Sweden has really high tax so it is considered "low price".
    What i love about this asus is that you can just install G-helper and uninstall armory and then turn this machine into a super silent laptop which can have longest battery time possible with no fans running at all.
    I doubt that Lenovo Loq can do the same....

    You should start including thermals in these recommendations, as it’s a viable criteria due to longevity and overall quality of life feel.
