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?

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

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?

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

Made a set of clean RTSS overlays that are really handy on a gaming laptop, where keeping an eye on temps and power matters most.

- See CPU/GPU temps, power draw, clocks and FPS / 1% lows in game

- GPU limit warnings: shows when your GPU is power or thermal limited

- 4 themes incl. Float (no background) so it doesn't cover your game

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?

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS w/ Radeon 740M Graphics (3.20 GHz)

Installed RAM 8,00 GB (7,26 GB usable)

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?

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.

I have owned this device for 3 years and this was the first time it was cleaned. Liquid Metal is out of stock in the entire country. I was recommended to get the Liquid Metal replaced by the local technician as CPU surface was getting color changed.

They couldn't diagnose the reason for high VRAM temps. It happens within 5 to 8 minutes of playing games like 007 First Light. I was told Thermal Putty/Pads were not dry and just one of the pads was torn which the technician carefully repositioned.

This is the most expensive stuff I own. Please help.

if u cant spot anything unusual , focus on the center area of the screen , there is some kind of lag in that horizontal section.

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

Can I get better deals than this or not?

I’m just looking for a new laptop to grab and I came across this

So I'm excited about GTA 6 and it's reported to release in Q1 2027. So my specs are i9 14900HX RTX 4070 8GB with 32GB memory. My native laptop display is 1600p. So with the Vram usage I can't play most AAA games with max settings at that resolution. I want to get the best experience form GTA 6 and I am a graphic junkie so I'm thinking about buying a separate 1080p display when it comes out.

I want to know you guys opinion on would you rather play 1600p with medium to high settings or 1080p with max settings that can get 60fps?

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

Salve a tutti, sperando che ci sia qualche buona offerta, vorrei comprare un laptop gaming, budget massimo 1200 euro (lo so non è tantissimo)... Possibilmente con rtx5060 o superiore, accetto consigli, grazie. Secondo voi conviene aspettare il Black Friday visto che è alle porte? ​

Hello - I recently tried to run 007 First Light on my GeForce 3060 laptop with a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS (with 40GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, and judging from test videos I've seen online it should run at a solid 50FPS at low 1080p, yet for me it runs at most 20FPS at 720p low - I also downloaded the demo of Resident Evil Requiem and got similar results - could this be some sort of a computer virus? I tried making sure the RTX card was running, freeing up space and even reinstalling windows - help would very much be appreciated

I have an HP OMEN 16-wd0xxx with an RTX 4050 that’s recently started randomly shutting down after about 3–5 minutes, even while sitting in BIOS. It happens whether I’m running on battery alone or with the battery disconnected and using only the charger. Sometimes the fans continue spinning after the screen goes black, and the power button becomes unresponsive until I reset the power.

I decided to inspect the cooling system and replace the thermal paste. While removing the heatsink, I noticed that the thermal putty covering three power inductors near the CPU/GPU area was completely dried out and crumbly, almost like dried toothpaste. The rest of the thermal putty is still soft and pliable.

I’ve attached pictures showing the three components and their corresponding contact points on the heatsink.
Could the dried-out thermal putty on these three inductors cause overheating or trigger the sudden shutdowns I’m experiencing? Or does this sound more like an unrelated motherboard power-delivery issue?

I’d appreciate any insight before I replace the putty and reassemble everything.
