The laptops with rtx spark is coming.

Starting from $2599 with 24GB RAM to $6950+ USD with 128GB ram

Great for AI but..

Who would buy this? I wonder?

The gaming performance is equivalent to 5070 per NVDIA say.

So. with the surface ultras coming, i have seen some people asking "why bother for the performance you get" Well. a factor, a big factor that really isnt talked about enough is out and about performance.

so, here is my 395+ Z13 vs my MSI raider GE78 with a 4070.

i have set my Zflow to high performance plan and i am letting the raider manage its own power. MUX switch is enabled for the 4070.

both are set to 1440p, medium, no upscaling.

when standing still, framerates are similar. however in motion, the frametimes tank on the raider, whilst the framerate stays consitent on the flow.

and if anyone was curious, fully unleashed and plugged in, the Raider gets 100fps, whilst the flow gets 80fps.

and because i can configure the power on the flow, at 65w, i can use a standard USB wall charger to maintain charge and play, which isnt possible on the raider.

and as stated, having full wattage control of these SOCs is the super power of these. because you can keep turning that dial down, and still have a useable experience.

because i can half the power, again. to 30w, keep a playable framerate, and charge with any reasonable power bank or wall plug, or go a while on just battery power alone.

so, instead of a 6lb laptop, the 3-4lb charger.

you can have a 2-3lb device, with a wall wart or a reasonable power bank that weighs 1-2lbs, and not be chained to it.

and what this extends to, is beyond games. Blender or maya in college between clases, Zbrush sculpting out and about, similar to substance apps when you're makimg textures in the field, etc.

and of course, controlling your wattages also means you dont have to fry your device if you dont want it running full bore constantly.

Okay, my use cases are:

- Editing my daily Youtube Shorts, not like 4K High bitrate stuff. Outputs are mostly 100-200mbish.

- Watching 4K HDR movies and series, I really like HDR, and I watch all contents HDR if they are available.

- Rarely play games, I mean I'm 30M and I hardly find spare time to games but when I do I choose to play on my 4K HDR miniled 32 monitor.

So basically I was looking for a laptop that handles smooth video editing and gives great watching experinece for 4K HDR movies/series but somehow I got the Lenovo Legion 5 15IPH11 Ultra 7 356H 32GB 1TB SSD RTX 5060 8GB, OLED 165hz.

I dont say "this laptop is trash, I didnt get what I expected", laptop performance is good, fast, and thermals is also decent in games but couple things bugged me and I started to think "should I return it and get macbook pro"

1- I believe "Rarely play games" part will not be covered by macbook pro but I noticed that I wont play games in my laptop since I got PC and great monitor.

2- Speaker quality is really bad, I mean dont wanna say terrible things about it because this is not important for most gamers since we can use headsets for audio but I was considering this device as my couch/bed media device and its not possible with these speakers, kindly saying; these speakers are not for media consuming at all.

3- Having dGPU and iGPU, switching between these two, hybrid mode, optimus mode etc. I'm geek for almost 20 years, I understand all of these terms and techs but these modes gave me headache when I try to enable GSYNC, calibrating HDR. Sometimes cursor is stuttering randomly, I guess GPU's switches? So I was overwhelmed by all of these Lenovo space and NVIDIA settings when I just want to smooth desktop experience, edit power and media consumption.

4- Performance on battery, simply it's not for battery usage. Performance is great when plugged in, once you unplugged, stutterings and battery drain(super fast draining) is there. You can easily notice.

No hate, no blaming. I believe this device is good for gaming purposes but I also believe doesnt cover my use cases. What do you think? Should I return and give Macbook Pro M5 Pro 16.2 inches a try?

I really want to buy a gaming laptop. Problem is all the affordable ones always have an issue or two. Forexample this laptop looks good on paper ,but the SSD space is so low. I am not a geek when it comes to computers so pls tell me if this is good or not. And if not what alternatives would you recommend. Budget 1.2k$ (I prefer this range of the budget) - 2k$

Can't decide which one to buy. Acer has 32 GB of RAM out of the box but only 115w 5070Ti, on the other hand MSI has 16 GB of RAM but 140w 5070Ti. What do you guys think? MSI is slightly cheaper.

Is this normal?, this is high settings but even on low it's still the same

Budget: €1000

Country: Italy

Use Case: gaming (LoL, baldur's gate, divinity dos2, fortnite, guild wars 2)

Preferred Specs: nothing preferred

Notes: i'm looking to gift my partner a gaming laptop since his current one does not even support league of legends at a stable fps, we usually play games like LoL, divinity2/baldur's gate 3, fortnite and some lighter games, so i'm not looking to something really pricey since my budget is around €1000.

Found this on amazon brand new, with ddr5 rams, an i5 13450hx and rtx 3050, what do you guys think?

If your out-of-box laptop can't render WAN2/FLUX1dev, it's an e-waste..

275hx, 5070ti, 32gb ddr5, 25h2

Budget: $4000 to $4500

Country: USA

Use Case: will be mostly be using the laptop for heavy 3d rendering and using sofwares like maya and rhino and using other editing softwares aswell.

Does the 64 gb play any big role or does it help in making the heavy work easier for the laptop. Sorry as I am pretty new to laptops.

will play a few AAA titles but not a lot

storage Notes: N/A

Can I get better deals than this or not?

I'm torn between getting a gaming laptop or a pc handheld for playing in bed

my thought process is i can get a more powerful laptop compared to a handheld for the equivalent price

But im not sure if a laptop would be very bed friendly considering the are alot bigger than a handheld

Just looking for some insight from people who have been in a similar situation

Edit: I'm looking for a starting point of medium settings 60fps

Purchased this for 600 from woman who bought in April, played cod a little bit, and didn't like better than console gaming so wanted to get rid of it. It's basically spotless. I actually do believe her on Mileage. She didn't know how to determine what the specs were until I suggested pulling up the page she bought it from.

Looking for a cheap gaming laptop to run old games I’ll show in pictures what type of games I want to play

Could anyone tell me if this pc can run these games

Upgraded from an Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 with the Ryzen 9 4900HS and 2060 max-q card plus 16gb ram. Sold that for $375 after buying this so technically only spent $325. Got it used but it’s in great condition. How did I do? How big of an upgrade is this?

MSI Vector 16HX A8WHG Ryzen 9 8940HX 5070Ti

My machine is always starving for ram and I can't afford it now , spent it all to buy the lappy and cooling pad

, Now how do I improve this

​

Been looking to upgrade my gaming laptop from a Lenovo Legion 5 with an RTX 3070 Ti, and finally found a great deal on Facebook Marketplace.

Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10) RTX 5080 for $2,500 with:

- GPU: RTX 5080 16GB

- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX

- RAM: 64GB DDR5-6400

- Storage: 2TB SSD

- Display: 16" 2560×1600 240Hz OLED

Did an inspection before buying and also another after I took it home as well. Everything checked out perfectly, and the laptop is practically brand new. No dead pixels, 100% battery capacity with only 5 cycles, and 8 months of Lenovo warranty still.

Pretty happy with how this one turned out as I'd been wanting to stay on the legion train but the new ones I'd been seeing listed higher than I wanted to go.

How'd I do?

Forget horror games for a second... A gaming laptop suddenly shutting down, a GPU dying, or a screen going black in the middle of a game is a different kind of nightmare...

With Halloween coming up, let's hear some actual gaming laptop horror stories... What's the worst hardware disaster you've experienced? And did your laptop survive?

Got a Second Hand (Used) MSI GP65 Leopard around 1 months ago with RTX 2060 at Rs 35k INR.

Budget: 3,000 usd (will wait for sales)
Country: USA
Use Case: gaming
Preferred Specs: 5080, Ethernet port, 2tb storage, 64gb (32’s okay) ram, 16+ screen size.

Don’t know much besides everything is getting more expensive. Been using a 1660ti legion laptop for 8 years. It’s starting to go down. Buy this or keep searching?
