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!

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

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 🙏

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

so i have this weird problem where sometimes in games when i click a key eg W it stays for like 4 seconds longer than it supposed too, so i think its cause my laptop (victus 15) is throttling cuz my laptop cpu is almost always at 100c, it could be becasuse of dirt in keys but i think its overheating so any advice

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?

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!

Budget: 1k

Use Case: college work and overall gaming

Valorant, Roblox, fortnite, marvel rivals, hollow knight, cod, god of war, and maybe sun wukong if possible

Notes: This would be a personal laptop for college and I'm thinking of getting a case for it

Can you please help me know whether this lenovo laptop extra storage tray is compatible with this SanDisk WD SSD? I have basic knowledge on electronics so I am asking this before purchasing this SSD, so that when it does finally arrive, and I get it installed only to find they are either not compatible or doesn't fit, Thank you for helping me.

Hello everyone, I'm a passing out college student who has all through his life used a Dell Inspiron 3000 Series laptop for 6+ years. I have done coding, Image Processing, heavy ML works, graphics deigning even multiprocessing programming in that. But now I have gotten a good job offer , I want to buy my first laptop (gaming or heavy workload type ) which will be great for 10 years (I hope). Some details:

Budget: INR 1.2-1.5 lakhs
Country: India
Use Case: Coding/Gaming
Preferred Specs: RTX 4060 minimum, 16+ GB RAM, 1 TB SSD
Notes: Upgradeable slots if possible

Price Range - within 1.2-1.3 lakhs ( all inclusive )
Brands - anyhting works, I just want a reliable and sturdy one. I don't want Macbook
Processors - i7, Ultra 7 or Ryzen 7 is minimum
GPU - I want a seperate strong GPU, not an integrated one
RAM - 16 GB, Secondary - 1TB
Use - Coding, CV and ML Processing, Grahics designing, Video Editing and if possible gaming

If possible upgradable slots inside the laptop is very good and also good battery and strong body ( I have a bad tendency to carry laptop in my hand).

Does anyone have good suggestions for this, especially considering Diwali sale offers etc ?

Seemed like a good deal.

I’d like to get a monitor so I can play more comfortably, as well as to connect it to another console I have and complete my setup.
What would you recommend?

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?

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

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.

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)

Yes, I wanted the 18-inch screen. This will mainly be used for playing FPS games like Overwatch/Deadlock, so I wanted the bigger screen and the lower resolution.
