Bought the Zephyrus Duo 5070ti version this past weekend. Did not go for the 5090 version as I am not Jeff Bezos.

40 yo Gamer Dad, only have time for some light gaming and mostly spends time dealing with excel spreadsheets and stuff.

Loving every moment with this setup ao far. The 2 (beautiful OLED) screens is so important forme to multitask.

I'd like to ask you if I made the right choice in buying this Asus TUF Gaming A16 FA608 with AMD Ryzen 7 260 and RXT 5060. It was originally priced at €1,800 and was discounted to €1,300.

Hi im from Nepal and this is the screenshot from Nepali authorized store.The price according to the spec is so bad.The price is $1,414.49 for an outdated graphics card paired with Ryzen 7. What's your thoughts is it normal or is it just inflammation?(sorry for bad English)

In hostel

Bought this laptop brand new for $1439.25 after tax.

gpu: 5070 Ti

vram: 12gb

cpu: Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX

storage: 1tb

ram: 16gb

tgp: 140w

So, how do you think I did? Good deal?

I plan to upgrade the ram in the future if there are any good deals but not right now

the screen is also not great... but I did a little research and it looks like I could probably replace the screen with a new one myself. I'm looking at this screen replacement but maybe I'll wait to find something cheaper. I've built my own desktop PC before, but I've never taken apart a laptop, so it makes me nervous working on something so delicate.

I think I should probably buy cooling pad too. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Got this at the NEX for around $1900 after discounts, it’s my first gaming laptop. Will it last a long time with these specs? I want to move away from console gaming and subscriptions.

In my country, no laptop exists with 12gb vram

Unless the budget is extremely (Rs 2L+)

8gb vram is cap here(Rs 1.5-2L)

Attached model is Rs. 1.6-1.7lakhs

How does it compare with the ps5/ps5 pro

Country: Indian

Budget: rs 1.5-1.8 Lakhs

Predator Helios Neo 16S AI with the 5070ti. Didn’t know what to expect, was a sale item at Best Buy and got it for $1,899. I had been planning to buy a OneXPlayer3 handheld to upgrade from the Xbox Ally X, my only pc gaming device (I have a 3070 desktop from 2021 that my fiancé uses, but I don’t). Bought this instead and will sell the Ally if I like it.

Stunned by the difference. With DLSS 4.5 and frame gen I’m running Crimson Desert on Ultra with 200+ FPS with GPU and CPU sitting at roughly 75 Celsius. I think that’s good? Not very knowledgeable, but I know this thing looks amazing and seems to be performing well so far.

I was concerned about fan noise as I like to play in bed at night when she’s asleep, sitting on a Targus Chillmat (for now), and it’s running like this in balanced mode. I’m not sure I need performance or turbo mode at night to be happy. During the day I can push it possibly (and maybe a llama v12 under it on the table), but this is fine for me now.

Bought this Legion Slim 7 for $850 and just found out that the ~, 1, Tab, Esc, and Q keys don’t work. 😅 Other than that, everything else seems pretty solid so far.
Now I’m questioning whether this was actually a fair, decent, or bad deal, especially considering I mainly game on my PS5. I bought this laptop mostly for portability, games that aren’t available on PlayStation, and potentially some streaming.
I’m mainly looking to play games like Warzone, Redsec, GTA V, etc.

What do you guys think, was $850 a good deal for this Legion Slim 7 considering the keyboard issue?

Also, any recommendations for setting it up properly for gaming? What software should I download to monitor things like FPS, temperatures, GPU/CPU usage, etc.? Any tips for getting the best gaming performance would be appreciated!

These are three I saw recommended, screen size isn’t a huge issue. IWhich is the best of the three? Should I go with a different brand of equal strength?

EDIT: I know RTX 5090 is better but is it worth the extra $1000? Do other specs make up for it

How much the upgrade should cost to be worth it?
And is i7 14700HX enough for modern games?

sound on..

okay so im not that big of a nerd related to hardware but I tried looking on ways to make my dgpu ONLY for gaming and igpu for display n shi. Like almost a gb of my vram is getting used by other apps I saw this in re4 too where it said I had only 5.1gb vram. How do I make my laptop ONLY use dgpu for gaming and only use its vram for it

Budget: $1000-$1500 (max $2000 with NYS tax)
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming (Minecraft, Sims, ARK) and school
Preferred Specs: 16GB RAM and 1TB storage
Notes: I’m looking at this Lenovo as a possible option but I need recommendations and feedback.

Currently I have a Lenovo Yoga 7i with a shattered but functioning screen. 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.

I’m ideally looking via Best Buy but open to other websites too

Added wall lights and tomorrow handing a uv tapestry lol.

Pulled the trigger on a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D + RTX 5080 + 64GB RAM + 2TB SSD. I was on the look out to be back on stock but an open box was available around midnight so I reserved and picked it up the next day. It’s still way above my budget but I hope this lasts at least 5 years. It was in excellent condition during in-store inspection and I have 15 days to try & test. Hopefully all works well.

Hi everyone. I currently own a Nitro 5 rtx 3070ti i7 12650h with 32gb ram on it. I know its a beast of its power and provide good fps if running cool. But as everyone know these shitboxes comes with the worst possible cooling. I have been struggling with game for a while and have been thinking of using Liquid metal thermal paste. Upon research I gave found out that it can destroy my motherboard. But the normal thermal paste doesn't seem to be effective at all. Please help me out what should I do in this situation? This is what I see even on ideal state

I bought this laptop of ebay.
I am mew to this but if i am right he had applied thermal paste onto parts that require thermal putty?

That Core Ultra 7 with 16gb at 80k looks tempting. What do you guys think?

Need it for light gaming and heavy coding

I'm looking for a gaming laptop that's under 3000 dollars... maybe over if it has a better money to performance ratio.

I've never had a gaming laptop before but jnder some certain circumstances, I need to replace my pc with a gaming laptop..

Anything would be better than my current pc but im just wondering which gaming laptops under $3000.

Budget: 3000

Country: USA

Also it has to have OLED.

Have until late September to buy one..

Guys, i want to ask you something.

I'm planning to buy a refurbished laptop on Ebay, i found a laptop i really like, and when i checked the seller, their rating was really good, but it's almost too good, which makes me think it might be too good to be true

So, what do you guys think? Is the seller legit?
