Stupid apple.
One problem with the legion 5 pro is the stutter
It happens rarely.
I’ve been playing an f1 game for the past week, maybe 2 hours a day, and I’ve had the stutter only twice, and that too just 5 minutes apart. It’s not a huge deal. It’s a 5 second thing, but it’s annoying and I just wanted to mention it
Really guys? Not even an honorable mention for the Asus ROG G15 Advantage Edition? I got this baby 2 months ago and it packs a punch! Runs COD: Vanguard on Ultra settings with Average FPS of 80-90, RDR2 with 128 and smashes other games as well. Should reconsider your choices guys!
I can’t help but finding myself wanting to pass over over the Legion 5/5 Pro for the Legion 7/7i, though 🤤
even the huawei matebook 14 amd is a good deal despite it being an amd ryzen 5 4600h…
I really expected Framework Laptop in the honorable mention!
Literally returning a legion 5 17" with 5800h and 3060 because spikes in ping while gaming, shame because i paid 900 for it on cyber monday
ASUS ROG STRIXXX!!!! It may not be a Zephyrus by any means, but it packs so much of a punch (I’m able to get GTA V running at max settings w average 190FPS!!). It’s also the only laptop with a plastic body that I would recommend. It presents one of the best RGB options on the market, which can all be controlled within the Asus Armoury Crate software. Along with this you can customise fan settings so you ensure that your CPU and GPU never throttle. (obviously all of this is a very biased as my only computer is the STRIX)
Yo, I am a 3rd year Mech Engr. student, so I need power as well as portability from a potential laptop, my price range is 1,500 – 2,000 dollars what do you recommend. Also, I personally don’t like macs…
I5 vs ryzen 5 5500u for daily softwares heavy work
which camera do you use for shooting sir?
I think leaving out the Acer Swift X is a bad call. That laptop is arguably the best sub $1000 on the Windows side
Ya dude it’s tough to deny how good Apples M series chips have been. I’m not buying one anytime soon, but gotta give credit where credits due.
Help me choose between lenovo legion 5 pro intel i7 11800 / Rayzn 7 5800
I can’t decide to choose between intel i7 11800 or Rayzn 7 5800
im super happy with my flow x 13 i got the stand alone 3050ti model id love to had the dock but its way over priced
What about razor blade 15 base model is it worth getting ?
I love how Apple’s chips have gotten so good now that even Windows-focused channels that are not very much in Apple’s ecosystem care about them now. And I’m all for it, we need more competition, and Apple’s Apple silicon devices this year have a lot of protein in them. And this is just the laptop grade stuff too, there’s a rumor that in early 2022 there’s gonna be a high-end iMac that will have literally double the performance of the M1 Max.
Framework laptop 😩
review on inspiron 15plus plss
Got a XPS 13 because reviews across multiple YT were positive. Big mistake, the packaged audio (Waves) is woeful, sounds like everything is being played in an aluminum room, and if you try and replace waves the audio jack just stops working.
Very surprised G15 advantage edition didn’t make it the value of that laptop is bonkers just for that it should be there
Bought the Legion 5 3060 a few months ago. Love it!
Where is MSi ??? all the rest laptops are sht because all of them has crap keyboards ! sht little arrow keys |!
Anyone has a link to that wallpaper!!??
Regarding the Legion 5 and it’s 166HZ screen refresh. Didn’t you just do a video where you stated that the 166hz refresh was actually had a slower response time than the previous 144hz version screen?
lenovo yoga slim 7 ?
Can anyone know how to check display brightness like L5p has 500nits but in full brightness its not that bright for me how can i check it my previous laptop is way brighter then this 500nit maybe its because of matt screen but still how i check it.
Hey I’ve really loved the video and been thinking of getting a new laptop, on the budget rage I’ve decided to take asuz a15 hnoo8t after a quick research request to help me with my decision on taking this product
My work is to create content and video editing as well as am a musician and create my own music hope my decision fits requirement and request to help/ guide me to choose the right laptop
you last pick is HP BLSDASFJASDF 13?!
best laptops? the best is the one that you can buy and avaliable
I got a GF75 Thin with a 10300H, 1650Ti and 17" 144Hz IPS screen at Costco back in April for $699. With tax, 500GB SSD and another 8GB RAM, it was $850. I couldn’t have build a similar desktop for the price. I had no specific need for a laptop, it was just cheap and easy. Last week, I built a Ryzen 2600/ GTX 1080 desktop ($1014 build total) but I will probably still mostly use the laptop. I am still using a 1080p 60Hz display with something like a 10ns latency. I did a back to back test with Forza Horizon 5 and I can definitely notice the input lag and the 60Hz refresh rate is starting to feel a bit slow these days. I have better GPUs, including a 3060 and 3070 but I use those for mining and I really can’t justify using them for playing games.
That’s the minimum they could do gor that price
I want a decent laptop for my online classes😭 I don’t have the money for now to buy some 😭😭
thank you so much for this review 🙂
Nice video but you should consider rechecking if the new models of laptops have removed issues or not. The G15 Advantage edition starting with M7 and beyond are fully fixed. They have 0 issues now.
are there any indications of 19, 21 inch laptops?
I love my gp66 Leopard 11uh ❤️
I bought XPS 15 at Best Buy this weekend. Really good price -$300 off. First one had distorted, crackling speakers, exchanged for 2nd one – keys 7 and 8 on the keyboard were not responding to presses out of the box. Exchanged again – crackling speakers and flickering display.
You just can’t make this up! Absolutely horrible QC for a $2000 laptop!!!
Please review 2 in 1 laptops.
I am confused between Lenovo Yoga 6 AMD with 5700U and
Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 6 AMD with 5800U.
Both are similarly priced but Yoga 6 has 1 TB SSD while Yoga 7 has 512 GB (no 1 TB option)
My use case:
I am an avid movie watcher, YouTube videos and like to use it as a tablet, so lightweight is also a must.
Battery life is very important for me, more than performance. I am just looking for light laptop with biggest battery pack.
I am currently using 7th gen i7 7500u.
So which would be better for me?
Lenovo Yoga 6 with AMD 5700U or
Lenovo Yoga 7 with AMD 5800U.
Also between 5700U and 5800U which is more efficient?
The only problem I had with the Flow x13 was the Xg mobile port getting stuck inside the computer.
The dell vostro 5415 is amazing , it costs 2800aed and has 8GM , amd 5500u and amd Radeon graphics , has all ports I need for school and roblox
Dude’s budget laptop is $800. It’s pathetic how broke I am. 💀
I have not found any gaming laptops this year that I was looking for in terms of specs that I wanted and hopefully there will be more and better options in 2022. Msi was a letdown for 2021 laptops, there older laptops were more of a power house and had a desktop cpu in them,this year has better gpu but that’s about it. I would definitely go for the metabox laptop since it has a 4k display, 4 m.2 slots, support for desktop cpu and 3080 that I’m looking for. I’m glad that the laptop is thick.
A thing a really i wanted to watch in this type , is a recommendation for working in Linux , i need to use linux for the job , but some laptops fails in Linux because a lack of support , i had a acer nitro and a razer blade and had various problem for work, then a good window laptop maybe is a lackluster in linux
Dude top quality video
Gotta say, best under 1500 right this second is the 165hz/5900/3070 zephyrus g15 at 1499 at bestbuy, and even lower open box. Holy cow
I got almost all gaming laptops this year and if this is not a sponsered revieuw I do not know what is. I do enjoy this channel; shame that I get black bars on a 17,3 screens. Would be worse on the 16;10 hype screens. Wonder if that is smart in the long run. Same review topic without blackbars I will alsways choose. Hope it helps…
I’m from India n that legion 5 costs like 1800 dollars n above here 😑😑
*WARNING:* His Legion 5 Pro link ONLY leads to 8gb ram models. For gaming, you need 16 gb. I’m no expert but this is a HUGE DEAL that he didn’t tell you.
i like my g14
