Can anyone tell me if this is worth it?

hi r/GamingLaptops i am using a gigabyte g6 mf it is using a i7-13620h with rtx 4050 and 16gb ddr5 when i am playing helldivers 2 i have very bad performance issues it looks like it has some sort of bottleneck because the frametime graph is super steady when i get the performance issue but every metric i have on riva tuner looks normal here's a clip when i am trying to play helldivers 2 with friends

Update 1:i just repasted the cpu and gpu with Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet PTM as i am writing this i am testing it with cinebench R23 for now the battery score was like 1k lower than on the charger before the repaste (9k)

Here's a photo of my vents. I have a Predator Helios 360. Old laptop but still working and I can't afford a new one in this economy. I'm thinking of getting a Llano V12 or a Flydigi. Help a brother out. Thank you!

Hey guys, wanted to share some real-world benchmark data from a maintenance job I just finished:

https://youtu.be/Jz4oQcztXEg?si=m3KcuOEcL9Cfj-SR

The Results:

• CPU Temps: Dropped from 100°C down to ~80°C under heavy load (-20°C drop).
• GPU Score: Increased by +43% in synthetic benchmarks once throttling stopped.
• DaVinci Resolve 4K Export: Significantly faster render times and zero timeline lag.

I made a detailed teardown and benchmark video covering the whole process and thermal charts if anyone wants to see the step-by-step or exact numbers.

All of a sudden so many ants are coming out of the ventilation port. It is an omen i7 laptop. I don't know what to do. Sooooo manyyyy antssss!! I ran my computer for around 2 hours and now I think there are no more ants.

What step should I do next? Maybe clean it with a technician and get some cover ?? Somebody please help with your experience 🙏

RAM is only 16gb and cannot be upgraded. This is the price for the lowest product tier of Lenovo gaming laptop. (This model only has the arc B390 igpu, no dedicated graphic card)

Budget: $1500 all in after taxes and fees.
Country: USA
Use Case: Latest games e.g Witcher 4, TE6 and what not.
Preferred Specs: Absolutely no idea. Doesn’t have to be anything crazy. I see people talk about optimizing settings for ray tracing and all these other stuff and that doesn’t matter to me. Just want to be able to play without putting all my settings down to play comfortably. I think my only requirement would be 1 TB of storage.

I’ve been recommended the Lenovo Legion 5 does that sound about right?

If the strix scar was only $100 more, would you get that instead of the strix? The only reason I’m considering the strix is for the AMD cpu as It has a worse gpu and worse screen.

Budget: Up to €2,000 (preferably less if there's no meaningful benefit)

Country: Germany

Use Case: Mixed — everyday use, YouTube, Twitch, browsing with many tabs, work, and occasional gaming with friends (mainly League of Legends and similar games).

Preferred Specs: RTX 5060 or RTX 5070; 32 GB RAM preferred (or upgradeable); 1 TB SSD; 15.6" or larger display.

Notes: My main priorities are reliability, good cooling, reasonable fan noise during everyday use, solid build quality and long-term durability (ideally 5+ years). I'm not a hardcore gamer, so maximum FPS isn't my main concern. My current MSI Cyborg 15 (i7-13620H, RTX 4060) has suffered from repeated BSODs, random restarts, stuttering/freezing and excessive heat around the keyboard. I'll have it repaired under warranty, but need a replacement in the meantime. I'm hesitant to buy another Cyborg, but open to other MSI models. I'm considering Lenovo Legion/LOQ, ASUS, HP and MSI. Which specific models would you recommend, and is spending close to €2,000 worthwhile for my use case?

How is an open box laptop with with excellent condition has more than 50% off?!!

Almost every laptop I saw with this condition has only 400$ discount

Edit: someone on the sub posted this deal. I can't find it or buy it . I am just asking if this could even be real

Every day looking for deals, AI prompts running to check all retailers…. I’m over it. Dropped 3,400 with taxes this morning.

How did it do?

Looking for couch gaming laptop

Hey everyone! I was going to get an msi claw ex, but decided a gaming laptop would be more worth it. My budget is around 1900 and I just can't decide between these 3

1.ASUS ROG Strix G16 G615LP-MS96 16 1899$

1. MSI Crosshair 16 Max HX OLED 16" Gaming Laptop 1999$

2. Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 OLED 1999$

The msi crosshair seems the most powerful, but bad review for build quality and sound. The rog seems perfect except no oled. Lenovo i know the least about.

Any ideas?

Budget: 1900

Country: Ohio USA

Use Case: (Optional: Gaming — cyberpunk, cod, wow, battlefield

Preferred Specs: (5070 or so. Oled maybe?

Notes: (Optional: looking mainly at microcenter

Budget: ( $1500)

Country: (USA)

Use Case: ( Online Gaming )

Notes: What's best Gaming Laptop for budget max of $1500. I'm new to this side of gaming and have no clue what to look for. Looking to maybe buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday please drop links if you can thanks!

Basically for last month and a half my ROG Strix G16 is running very poorly for some reason

first it’s my gpu which had its its issues and after endless fixes I somewhat fixed it but now my cpu is f**ked for some reason

I mentally give up Claude and ChatGPT and giving me the same repetitive advice

I really need help I have such a good machine yet it’s running poorly

some quick things: I’m always running it with the charger plugged in

I’m also running the ROG ultimate GPU power plan

Hey guys woot is having a massive MSI laptop sale. Got mine in there before. Couldn't be happier.

https://computers.woot.com/plus/msi-gaming-laptops-9?ref=mwj_h_f_cp_4

Thanks for any input.

For almost two years now I own an msi titan 18hx. And even though its fast it never really blew me away performance wise. It was struggling with ac black flag resynced, Cyberpunt etc.

And then a couple of weeks ago I sent my laptop for repair because some keys stopt working. When I got it back I immediately noticed how quick everything was. I installed black flag and it run 55fps on the highest settings without a problem. Cyberpunk, highest setting between 50 and 60 fps. Even The Witcher 3 remasterd with pathtracing and frame generation between 50 and 60 fps.

This lasted for two and a half weeks. In the morning I played The Witcher without any problems, when I started the game in the evening again it went from 55fps to 20fps in about 15 seconds. even if I turn on raytracing completely i do not get more then 40 - 45 fps. Same thing with the other games.

I reinstalled windows, I cleaned the fans, I placed new thermal paste but nothing results in better performance. 15 seconds in game and the voltage to the gpu is being cut from 170+ watts to 90 something.

I really do not understand why it is thermal throttling all of a sudden. Or why my laptop performed so well for two and a half weeks. Is there anybody who can help with this?
