I feel like AMD might have a chance, because they managed to nearly match the results in rasterized gaming with significantly lower power consumption, which is obviously very important in mobile gaming. And honestly, as Linus mentioned, RTX 3000 isn't much of a leap when it comes to performance per watt. What do you guys think? -
Budget: $2100, USA Use: basic college work and likely some simulation stuff idk I couldn't find much online but I am pretty sure as an engineering student I might run some CPU/GPU intensive stuff(correct me if I am wrong), gaming. I prob won't have a lot of time to game but I want the best experience possible when I have the time at least. 16GB RAM and hopefully a 1TB NVME. Is it worth going for 256GB and then buying your own 1TB NVME to save money or is it cheaper to choose the 1TB SSD already pre-installed(assuming that the laptop is upgradeable in that area)? IMPORTANT: must be a thin and light or at least as close as possible A high refresh rate would be nice nice screen(above 1080p) if possible at least 13.3 inch screen but I prefer 15-17 inch screen idc about RGB lights and stuff I like Razer but I heard that they aren't worth it, is is true? I need this computer by September of this year so if you know of any laptops that will be released later this year give me a heads up so I can check them out later on. This post is just to start a discussion so I have some ideas in my head as to what performance specs my computer should have. I know a bit about computers but I just want some expert opinions. Thank you -
I'm looking for a gaming laptop that has a decent performance and battery life and is not heavy -
hello there, i am in search of a new laptop that is around $1500 AUD and has at least an i7-10750h and an GTX 1650-ti (1660-ti preferable) and needs to be appropriate for school. Apprpriate meaning the laptop not screaming GAMING! and also being silent when working and browsing the internet like using Microsoft Word and Google Chrome. I also would prefer backlit keys as i tend to work in the dark during study. This will be my only laptop for school and would also like to play a few games when at a mates house like COD: Modern Warfare, CSGO, Minecraft and perhaps Battlefield 1. I have a beast of a desktop already so this laptop won't be my main gaming rig, my desktop atm has an i7-8700k and a RTX 2060 Super which will be upgraded to a RTX 3080 (if it comes in stock) or the RTX 3070 (if not RTX 3080s come in stock soon). Only laptop that apeals to me is the Alpha S from Metabox, which right now still has Black Friday sales which with the configuration i currently like im saving $1000 AUD inc GST. But i would rather a brand that everyone knows like Asus, MSI, Dell and more. i would appreciate any laptop recconmendations. The specs for the Metabox Alpha S will be below: Intel Core i7-10750H 6-Core (12M Cache up to 5.00 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti 4GB GDDR6 VRAM 15.6" FHD 1920 x 1080 IPS-Grade Edge-to-Edge Matte 144Hz LED 16GB DDR4 2666MHZ (2 x 8GB) Kingston A2000 1TB PCIe NVME M.2 SSD Intel 9462 AC Dual Band WIFI & Bluetooth 5.1 (up to 433 Mbps) 2 Year Metabox Premium Care Return To Base Protection Total without savings: $2,497.00 AUD inc GST Total with savings: $1,447.00 AUD inc GST Shipping: $32 AUD -
I own a 6 year old Dell Inspiron 14R with an i7-4500U for CPU and GeForce 740M for Graphics. I use it for multiple reasons, not just for gaming. Recently I have been noticing a slight bend in the frame and keyboard deck of the laptop. Sort of like how GPU sag exists for Desktop users. This sag exists in my laptop due to how I mount the laptop on 2 wooden slabs during intensive tasks, to maximize air flow. Is there a way for me to reduce this sag? -
Hey everyone, I've been saving for a while and I'm doing well at work so I have some spare change to throw at a gaming setup. currently I'm using a Macbook Pro m1 pro as a workstation for my daily use/work (using the razer thunderbolt4 dock) since I've had little time to game for the past two years and who games on a mac anyway. now I've been thinking about building a desktop for a while and I'm conflicted. I love the freedom of having a laptop on my desk that I can plug in to do heavy work and unplug to take my work with me. but for gaming I'm going to be at my desk 80% of the time. so naturally a Desktop PC no ? what I'd just Love is a desktop replacement laptop that has the power of a desktop PC in a laptop form factor. now I don't care about having 4k 120fps since my screens are 1080p (two of them) so I'm thinking a gaming laptop that I can plug into the thunderbolt4 dock to game on? is there such a thing? could I have my cake and eat it? my budget is 4000USD and I can throw in a couple 100bucks in if I had to. what do you recommend? PC Build I'm eyeing is : CPU: core i9 12900k GPU: RTX 3080 TI MB: Asus RoG Strix z690a Ram: Corsair Ven 3200 32gb (4x8gb) storage : crucial m.2 p2 nvme 2tb cooling: AIO from corsair probably PSU: 850watt Case : any case with good airflow and no rgb/tempered glass I don't care for those and they give me a headache. what do you think and could I get a laptop that's like this or better that would work with my docking solution ? Thank you all in advance.

Hi Everyone, Going through the usual regrets of buying a gaming laptop (should of went desktop). Low ram and low storage. Reviewing these side by side these both seem to be on paper about the same with no material difference. Anyone with a different viewpoint or advice on which ram to go with? Already have a new M.2 drive to upgrade as well, just need to clone my current one. Really keen to have guidance or at least a secondary opinion. Any other suggestions to beef this up?

So I've got an HP x360 Convertible, which has a 4-core, 8-thread i5-10210U (boosts to 4.10 GHZ), 8GB of 2400 MHz RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics. I'm considering getting Minecraft Java Edition on this laptop, but I'm concerned about the performance. Will it run Minecraft smoothly? What sort of FPS and performance would I be looking at? Thanks!

Greetings ladies and gentlemen(and variations there upon)! I am looking for your thoughts and advice. I'm looking to buy a new gaming laptop. Before I get flooded with "why laptop brah? Desktop is way better because..." Type responses, let me start out by saying I already have a decent desktop(4790k@4.7, 32gb ram, 2 GTX 980ti in SLI) and I have specific reasons for wanting a laptop. First reason is this is for school mostly. Currently I have an Asus 13" 2in1 with a n700 Pentium..And it's not working well. Lags just trying to open word. I need to be able to run visual studio (some Python, C#), packet tracer, some light Photoshop/premier, and Tera Term for consoling into Cisco switches and routers. Also might do a VM on it with Kali Linux. Additionally, I want to be able to game occasionally. Due to work and school I'm often away from home for 2 or 3 days and I can be on my laptop at work during specific hours. While some games I play are more graphically intensive (bf1, star citizen) alot of the ones I play aren't (crusader Kings 2, civ 6, ). Therefore I was thinking probably at least a i5, 16b ram, and a GTX 1060(if you disagree tell me which you recommend and why). My budget is around 1 grand with some leeway, but less of course is always better. Here's one I was.looking at: https://m.newegg.com/product/index?itemNumber=1TS-001A-00487&Keyword=ASUS FX502VM-AH51 I figured I could grab an m.2 SSD and then I'd be off to the races. Am I missing an alternative? Ovbously I want the best I can get for my hard earned money and I'm hoping the community can help me out. I know it's long, but thank you for reading my post! P.S. I'm in California

Hiya So I've been using my laptop for about a year now, for the purpose of work and to play games too, now I've realized that I can't exactly do that with this laptop, since it runs on Integrated Graphics, and is using an old Intel Celeron N3350. Is there any way to squeeze some more gaming performance into this dual core, 1.10 GHz Base Clocked Laptop, before I set off to make some money to upgrade to a gaming PC? It handles some games well, but more intensive games run pretty poorly, with CSGO and unturned running at the lowest settings, get around (30-20 for CSGO in Competitive Scenarios) and (38-20 on Unturned on 800x600) -
Hi, im looking to buy a laptop for school work and gaming. I have a budget of 500$ I have heard Acer/Asus/Leveno are some brands that are alright for the laptop i'm trying to find. I'm looking for a laptop that isn't that heavy and that has a decent screen size, my old laptop was an Asus, so something similar in those lines. Something that is portable might be best for my situation and something that is good for work and gaming. Something that is fast and able to browse in tabs, something that has at least 1tb. Something that has a good battery life. I also heard that touch screens kill your battery. Thank you for reading and I will be greatful for any help as I dont know much about buying laptops and computers.

I've looked everywhere for some kind of document that says that the Acer Nitro 5 switches to outlet power when plugged in instead of using battery, but i can't find it. Anybody know if it switches to a/c when plugged in?

hey guys i have a acer swift 3 laptop which i use for gaming light games like csgo etc. So recently i have been suffering with static electricity issues with my laptop whenever i sue my laptop and then touch anything that is metal it gives me a little shock . i use a mouse with it for gaming purposes . i think this can be because i used to charge my laptop while gaming which means i was using laptop while charging. Now what to do ? i use it on a wooden table . Should i charge the laptop while its completely off or what ? I think this will damage my laptop in the long run please help. How to deal with this situation ? -
It's been uncomfortable for me to game while hunched over at a 17 inch screen. I don't have enough money to go for a completely new desktop build, so I was wondering if it would be okay to just buy an external monitor (and keyboard), plug 'em in to my laptop and just put said laptop on the side? I just want the desktop gaming experience is all. If this is possible then I have a couple follow-up questions: 1) Would my laptop be able to handle it? Brand, model, and specs are in my sig. 2) I'm looking for a monitor that won't hurt my wallet too much, and so far I've narrowed down my decision to either the NVision IP22V1 or the SpectrePro G22SL. Which one should I get? Or are there other options in the same price point (which is pretty much my budget)? Thanks guys.

IS INBUILT TRACKPAD IN A LAPTOP BETTER THAN MOUSE FOR GAMING?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I had this situation, lazy to take hold of my mouse. so I mapped my trackpad in MuMu android emulator to function as a mouse (THIS emulator is quite stable for gaming ). the game planned for played is "AWP MODE" it a sniper shooting game but with CSGO layout(kind of). I mapped my trackpad as- 1)for selecting lens= 2 finger touch on trackpad(which it registered as right click) 2)for lense activation/ scrolling = caps lock 3)for fire button = space bar. other movement mapping is old settings(WASD). but the thing I was surprised was I won both the matches (each 5min) with most kills. SO what ' Linus tech tips' have their words on my laziness(my sudden expectation), keep in mind if the screen width is larger and smaller trackpad then the sensitivity of the pointer needs to be increased. -

I need some help guys; I work at a night job (I'm a M'urse- male nurse ;-) with tons of hours to kill and I love DCS. I have a laptop that has X4 PCI lanes open and willing to connect to an external GPU with a Thunderbolt 3 port. Some questions: 1. I have heard that regardless of the GPU ability, there is a PCIe or CPU bottlenecking. 2. Therefore, given my specific specs, what kind of GPU should I opt for? 1060, 70, 80… etc.' 3. I can also buy for the same price (through an intel employee) the latest NUC - which one would do the work better? 4. Can DCS even run on these alleged setups anyway? Details: • My laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd gen specs: [20JD004UUS] - 7th Gen Kaby Lake, 2 cores 4 threads, Intel Core i7 7500U @ 2.7 GHz, 4MB Cache, 15W - 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM @ 1866 MHz - SSD PCIe NVMe 512 GB Flash Memory - two USB 3.1 Type-C ports, both supporting Thunderbolt 3 with 4PCIe lanes • Possible eGPU's I can Buy: - Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Gaming Box for 700 USD - Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Gaming Box for 650 USD • Possible Intel NUC I can Buy: - Hades Canyon NUC Premium VR Mini Desktop Gaming PC for about 700-800 USD from an Intel employee benefit (Intel i7-8809G, 16GB RAM, 2x500GB NVMe RAID, AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH, Windows 10 Home) Any help from personal experience and benchmarking data would be immensely appreciated. Thanks guys!

I'm heading off to college soon and I'll be leaving my gaming desktop at home. I am looking to buy a new laptop, however. I'm looking at the Dell XPS 15 2 in 1 which has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports (4 lanes of PCIe Gen 3). I've seen external GPU's that plug into TB3 ports but I don't want to spend money on one and I already have a GTX 1070 in my desktop. Thus, my question is: Is it possible to take the GTX 1070 out of my desktop, and plug it into the TB3 port of my laptop (via some sort of adapter) and use it for gaming?

I just bought myself a new gaming laptop, the GL 702 vm from asus. it has a core i7 7700HQ, 16GB of RAM, GTX 1060 6GB. i mostly use it to game on my desk, I use a gaming mice and a mechanical keayboard and a large monitor when i game at home so i have so many cables attatched (3 USB's, 1 3.5mm jack, 1 internet port, 1 HDMI and a power cable). i play my games (like pubg) mostly at 1920*1080 on high and getting around 60 fps. i would like to be able to have just one or two cables conected so if ill choose it it will take me just a secont to plaug and play or leave faster. If I will use a docking station (like this one: Plugable USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station) will my games look the same? will my FPS stay around 60? is there any sagnificant input lag? -
My laptop is Lenovo E590. The specs are: - 8th gen Core i7-8565U Processor ( 1.80GHz 8MB ) - Radeon rx 550x 2 GB graphics (1176 MHz 128 Bit) - 8 GB ddr4 ram I tried to play GTA 4 but it ran with minimum graphics. Is it possible to run Witcher 3 at medium graphics? Can I do anything to run it better? -
