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?

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?

laptop: gigabyte g5 mf5 2024
specs: i7-13620h / rtx 4050 (yes 6gb vram, ew ik) / 1tb / 40gb ram

keyboard: gravastar k1
mouse: gravastar mercury x pro
mic: hyperx quadcast 2s

*note: for the record, don’t buy gigabyte laptops. this was my only resort during the time i bought it due to my tight budget. don’t buy gravastar mice either, they look good but the battery life sucks.

my mouse pad is tiny, im aware. i don’t have much of a choice. ^^;

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

- Laptop with integrated + dedicated graphics? There's a 1-minute fix in the guide so it reads the right GPU

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

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?

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? ​

model: predator PT516-51s

i am struggling with a new gaming laptop i got as a birthday present. i'm not sure if this is normal behavior, i am generally uneducated on gaming laptops and what they are & aren't supposed to do.

this laptop has a decent gpu (nvidia geforce rtx 3060 laptop gpu) & 16gigs of ram. despite that, i can't play games at high graphics and it even barely functions on medium graphics. every time i try to open a game, i get this notification (in the picture attached) & my laptop stops charging and i'm unable to use turbo mode.

technically i can play these games without lag as long as my laptop is not plugged in, but i don't understand. i thought keeping it plugged in was how i max out performance? is this normal for gaming laptops? i'm also not even sure what a dc-in jack is or what this notification is asking of me.

it's just generally kinda upsetting cus i got this laptop to be able to play more visually demanding games, but i can't even play roblox at high graphics with my little brother. please let me know if i'm doing something wrong, or if this is average behavior. i've tried to look this up everywhere and can't find a solution, so reddit is my last hope.

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.

New to the laptop game.

Thoughts??

It keeps flickering, which concerns me. Sometimes, it stays completely unlit.

My laptop is currently failing to boot into windows. After the loading icon finishes and it tries to boot into Windows, the laptop suddenly shuts down and restarts in a loop.

I can't reinstall the OS either, because the laptop shuts down in the same way when I try to boot into the installer.

The laptop sometimes manages to boot into windows using its current hdd, but the issue still occurs. I also tried using the sdd from my other laptop which has windows 11 installed, but the same thing happens. The laptop shuts down and restarts in a loop before it can boot into windows.

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?

I have a Lenovo Legion , and the original charger is really heavy to carry to university.

Can I use a smaller USB-C charger for studying and light work instead? Has anyone tried this with a gaming laptop? Any recommendations?

Help! I have tried hard EC reset a few times. It doesnt work.

Sometimes the logo show up and the laptop shut down. Sometimes it stuck at logo for hours and still nothing happen. I have try to remove the ram and it wont work

Is there anything I can try?

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

Today, i just went to a french store who sells a bunch of stuffs and i juste saw that they were exposing one of the new Asus proart p16 with rtx spark with 24gb of ram.

So i decided to download FURMARK on it LOL. (1920x1080p)

In the app it says that the GPU is been used at 96% so tasks manager might split usage between CPU and GPU in the graph

I would loved to try 3d mark time spy but i wasen't able to download anything else.

I almost get kicked out of the store xD
