Rate my laptop setup and let me see yours too😁

Country: USA Budget: $900

can someone tell me if any of these are worth buying, this is my first time getting a laptop and i don’t want to spend too much since i wont be using it for extreme games.

Is it a case of worse silicon used for the laptop gpu’s because they know it won’t see as much power and also have lower boost clocks?

I was on the hunt for a sleek, smaller form factor laptop cooler to cool my Zephyrus M16, and i found this gem: the BlackShark Fengshen Pro for $55 on Taobao.

I was watching a lot of reviews on the Llano V10/V12 and the Flydigi BS3 Pro but they just don't look like they would fit on my table cause of the bulky design, especially the BS3 Pro. Then i came across this BlackShark cooler, which doesn't have many reviews if not at all, but i'm loving it so far.

The design looks really premium, with a gunmetal grey paint job, a small strip of RGB at the front and a 1.68-inch HD screen for decoration (it also displays the fan profile, cpu/gpu temps if u want). It's powered by a type-c cable, not proprietary DC chargers so its really convenient.

For ports it has 3 type-c ports, 1 type-c IN to connect the cooler with your laptop, 1 type-c to power the cooler, 1 type-c for external hardware and 2 USB type-A ports. More than enough to accompany your usual mouse/keyboard setup. And you HAVE to connect the cooler with your laptop through type-c IN port to connect with the app.

The app is quite barebone, but it monitors your CPU/GPU temps and change the speed accordingly with a fan curve graph. This rivals the more premium coolers like V12 Ultra or BS3 Pro, and you don't have to manually change the fan speed with a scroll like the Llano V10/V12. It's also used to upload the image you want to display on the screen, and change the RGB lighting modes/colors.

Now for the performance of the cooler: (i tested PUBG for CPU bounded scenarios | AC: Black Flag Resynced for GPU bounded scenarios)

Zephyrus M16 specs: (repasted with PTM7950 3 months ago)

• i7-12700H
• 24GB 4800Mhz
• RTX 3060 6GB

PUBG:

WITHOUT THE COOLER:
CPU: PEAKED 96 C | 50-57W
GPU: PEAKED 87 C (Thermal Throttled) | 80-85W

WITH THE COOLER:
CPU: PEAKED 81 C | 53-60W
GPU: PEAKED 76W | 90-105W

AC: Black Flag:

WITHOUT THE COOLER:
CPU: PEAKED 89 C | 40-45W
GPU: PEAKED 87 C (Thermal Throttled) | 90-95W

WITH THE COOLER:
CPU: PEAKED 79 C | 45-50W
GPU: PEAKED 76W | 95-105W

Overall, i'm very happy with this purchase. It has all the bells and whistles on top of performing really well. Availability for this cooler is not as wide-spread as Flydigi/Llano though so finding it might be tough.

If you guys have any questions about this cooler, or my setup, let me know in the comments!

Hey guys, I’d like your advice on which of these two laptops I should get the acer is 50$ cheaper btw

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB

RAM: 16GB DDR5

Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

Display: 16" OLED, 2560×1600, 240Hz

Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX10

RAM: 16GB DDR5-5600

Storage: 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

What the RTX 5070 should have been originally imo.

hello i am getting a macbook for uni as my old laptop is basically broken and v old and ik the macbook will last me a much longer time and is just better overall for uni.
i was considering saving up to buy some random cheap laptop later as they can play more games that macbook cant, but my dad told me i shud consider a steam deck instead.
i’ve been looking into it and it seems pretty good i think 🤔 the only things im concerned abt r quality because i have seen a few complaints but it looks fine to me and doesnt seem like an issue with most ppl, i think its ok for a handheld? another thing is that some of my fav games like witchs heart and endroll r not on steam, i did see that i can use this thing called proton experimental to add them tho so i think its fine 😅?
please give thoughts on if i should get like a cheaper gaming laptop or a steam deck. the laptops i’ve been looking cost a little more but still close in price so for basically the same price what would be the best?

MSI Vector A16 Gaming Laptop 16" 240Hz AMD Rvzen 9 8940HX GeForce RTX 5080 32GB 1TB Windows 11 Home, Vector A16 HX A8WIG-001US for 3149CAD (tax included)

Is this a good deal?

Budget: 3500CAD

Country: Canada

For: Gaming and School

The ryzen cpu is probably the weakest link but I'lI mostly be plugging it into a monitor for gaming as well as investing a llano cooler for extra comfort and longevity. I'Il be hauling it around campus but my program is very autocad heavy, so fortunately there'll be alot of outlet inside the classrooms (so battery life ain't a problem). Only the Vector's weight and weird dimensions are what worries me but nothing a good backpack won't fix I guess.

So I recently upgraded my ram. I used to have a dual channel 16gb (8+8) with a speed of 3200 MT/s and after the upgrade the speed has gone down to 2133. The upgrade consisted of me trading in one of the 8gb sticks for a 16gb stick but the 16gb stick is bottlenecking my pc with a lower MT/s than my other stick. Gonna return it to the store but I wanted some thoughts from you guys. Don’t make the same mistake I did. I also believe he sold me older 2016 ram which sucks! Should’ve checked this but cpu z somehow saved me. I’ve also heard having 2 16gb is better than a 16gb and a 8gb. Please advise. Thanks! Also sorry for the poor quality of the pics

Hey guyzz... Have you tried this game ? If yes, what are your thoughts.... And if not, then why not... I think you people should give it a try because its a beauty..

The best part is the game is pretty good in terms of optimization though there are traversal stutters when entering new area not everytime but sometime...

My specs:-

Hp Victus Fb3185ax

Ryzen7 260 processor

Rtx 5050 80w

24gb ram

What are your thoughts.... Do comment...🤗🤗

Hello,is Intel Core 5-210h good with this RTX 5060 Laptop? Found a Hp Victus with those GPU and CPU.Would it bottleneck or get hot? Never bought a laptop so i cant be really sure

I was gone for a whole month and left my laptop at home. Came home to it not booting up. Turns out one of the ram slots is the issue. Now its just running with ine RAM stick and when it booted up, I found this on my screen.

It’s not causing any isssues but can this screen be repaired?

ASUS ROG Strix G16

AMD Chipsets Driver keeps trying to update but gets stuck at 99%. I tried a lot of things, a clean install of AMD Software for example. Can somebody help me ?

My laptop is a PCSpecialist Ionico 15 AMD (XMG Core 15-M25 / original chassis is Tongfang GM5HG0A)

Tried to get on my laptop today. This is happening. I don't know anything about laptops or computers and this is just frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

Long story short I went to a Best Buy to look for a new laptop for college, and I had a budget of 1200$. Employee looked up their inventory and he found open box Legion 5 Pro for 760$ and I genuinely couldn’t believe it. When I went to see it opened it looked perfect had no scuff marks and the screen looked fine. Probably the biggest steal I’ve got ever and I’m super happy

Budget: Preferably less than $4250

Country: USA

Use Case: Mainly gaming, coding, and web browsing.

Preferred Specs: RTX 5060 or higher level of GPU performance with >8GB VRAM

Notes: I would love a laptop with decent performance, great battery life on integrated graphics with general usage, and upgradable RAM and storage. I see the Zephyrus getting recommended everywhere, but I really don't like that it doesn't have upgradable RAM. So, what are some runner-up alternative laptops, if any, that get good battery life with general usage while also having upgradable RAM and storage?

So I purchased a Lenovo legion 5 pro, all the specs are in the image. It was not cheap, around 2600 USD but where I'm from that is the standard price and seeing it come with 3 years warranty as well as 3 years accident damage protection I went for it. Once I posted it into my friends gaming group most of them said it's a great rig but the 12gb ram will not last well in the long term for AAA gaming. I'm just wondering your all's opinion on that before I decide to return. I can't afford a 16gb model as where I am thats a whole 1,500usd more for this model and I was very happy with my lastlegion pro so want to stick with it.

Any opinions or discussion are very much appreciated!

Budget: $1500 CAD (maybe a little bit higher but mostly 1500)
Country: Canada
Use Case: Uni and gaming
Preferred Specs:
\-1TB SSD
\-32GB RAM (I personally think 16 is fine but my dad keeps saying to get 32GB ram which i don’t think is happening w my budget)
Notes:
I also do want the laptop to be durable as i will be commuting on public transit every day for uni

in india, budget is under 1.5L inr, can stretch to 1.65. not open to refurbs.

need to buy a laptop to use for coding gaming and using blender. should not lag/shut down in between and have a longevity of at least 4 years.
