Is there anything good out there?The YouTube idiots recommend this but the screen is crappy.
Why would you waste money on a laptop? If you're going to game, get a proper PC.
Laptops are for school/work/travel etc.Get a real pc.
>>689404275No. There aren't even any good desktop pcs and laptops have further limitations on top. You won't be finding a good laptop no matter how hard you look.
Why would you waste money on a laptop? If you're going to game, get a proper PS5 Pro
>>689404275Depends on where you live and your budget. Microcenter has amazing gaming laptop deals with upgradable ram for around 500 bucks if you're lucky. Aside from that, everything else is overpriced garbage. I'd recommend one of those mini PCs personally if you're trying to game on the go.
>>689404413>>689404452>>689405435not everybody here is a neckbearded incel with no life who can just use mommy’s credit card to spend $1000 on parts. answer OP’s question or, with all due respect, kys.
>>689404275i really like lenovo's stuff. i've had a few different lenovo gayming laptops and they've served me well. wait for black friday/cyber monday, so you can get a good one for cheaper.

>>689406819>lenovoTheir vantage bullshit is literal malware.
>>689406315*farts*hehe
>>689406315>Is there anything good out there?The answer to this question is a firm "no".
>>689406959? i know lenovo is chinese and is already sending all my information back to xi.
>>689404452A midrange gaming laptop in 2024 has more horsepower than a top spec gaming PC from 2010
>>689407201All computers are Chinese. >IBM>Dell>AppleWhere do you think they're made? They all use the same parts just slapped together in different cases.
>>689407201Then mention it faggot, vantage is a pretty big negative in both performance and privacy. It's a memory hog that phones the chinks and the glowies whenever it can.
>>689407501>privacyit's winblows, so it's already phoning home to glowies. just uninstall vantage if you want to protect your 'privacy' while using winblows lmao.
>>689407501You can disable all of it. And who cares about what the ducking Chinese know about you? You already have worse in the US gov that can physically ruin you
>>689407459Lenovo bought out IBM I think
>>689406315Gaming laptops are literally for the most incel of incels, you're fucking pathetic if you want/own one
>>689404275Is that msi? Avoid those. Look at those awful hinges.
>>689406315A gaming laptop is more expensive than a desktop you defensive retard
What do you want to play on it?
>>689409864Jedi survivor and cyberpunk
>>689409691>desktopfags actually believes this
>>689409723I agree with what you say, but I'm not stable at home. I'm always away because of college. Right now the laptop is the only way I have to play.
Just get an 'eck
>>689409902Idk if you want to play cyberpunk on a laptop out in public. That's going to put any laptop fan to max.
>>689406315>neckbearded incelSaid neckberdless incel in denial.> no lifeWageslaving or doing any other generic npc activity like watching netflix is not life.>answer OP’s question No.>with all due respect, kys.Follow your own advice.
>>689404275the predator helios computers are really good and not too crazy expensive. I'd say the alienware ones to but they're quite expensive. >>689406315I would do a lot of bad things for the rog x evangelion Asuka stuff.
>>689410097So maybe you should buy umpc, like steam deck or legion go?
>>689404275>Cheap>Gaming>LaptopYou can only pick 2
>>689411035uh i pick cheap gaming
>>689411540Cool, you'll have to get a chink handheld emulator.They are very cheap and full of games. But it's not a laptop.
>>689411035In 2015 i paid 500€ for a laptop with a 960m it played everything untill 2022
>>689406119Europe not more than 1k
>>689409717YesOk
>>689413646Euros?My cousing got a Legion Legion 5 for arpund this much, and most modern games work on it pretty nicely.
>>689404275Just find something with a good heatsink/cooler material
>>689413565Okay. Post the specs and the most graphically intense game you played on it.
>>689406315Thank you sir. Not to mention $1000 only gets you like some low end trash that will require upgrade in a couple of years. If you don't go big then go home and paying $2000 for a PC to play some games is pretty crazy and not how a normal person would spend their money. Problem is these retards watch too many streamers and then start believing "Asmongoloid is just like me!" but this loser is actually a millionaire. That's how he can afford having a 3 PC's all with 4090's SLI set-up. And if you have the money for that shit then you probably don't even have the time because you need to work but Asmongoloid's work is just to play video games. That's why he shills PC. He gets sponsored by companies that make PC parts too. But if you have the time and you have the money then it's because you are Neet living off your parent's money.
>>689416234>If you have a job and time off work you are a neet who lives with mommy?
>>689416234People pay $1500 for a phone.Why do you think $2000 for a PC is a lot?
>>689404275Lenovo legion slim 7i
>>689404413>Why would you waste money on a laptop?gaming laptops are a pretty good value now. it's weird how /v/ loves an underpowered steamdeck but seethes at laptops. >>689404275seems like it has pretty good specs for $1000. >but the screen is crappywhy? are you referring to the resolution? I still think 1080p is ideal for laptops at this point. even the beefiest GPUs still can't handle 4k well. 2024 hasn't seen a good improvement on GPUs or CPUs, but $1000 is pretty cheap. I'm not sure a used laptop would be worth the savings because I think they still go for $700 bucks, and you take the risk of it being worn out. >>689409902>Jedi survivor and cyberpunkI don't think either of these titles run real great on PC. if you want to run modern AAA i still think console is the way to go. even the best PCs still can't match performance of a series X. I think series X's have dropped to around $350 with sales, and at that price it's hard to beat.
>all the seething ITTDo a bit of research first. Sure laptops are not as powerful as a modern PC, but in recent years they've become pretty capable for gaming: I bought a lenovo LOQ 15 with a RTX 4060, 32 gigs of Ram, 1 TB of space and Ryzen 5 7640HS. It's built pretty solidly, the keyboard feels alright, the screen is pretty clear and it has proven to be quite satisfactory for gaming and a big upgrade compared to my old cheap craptop - I've been able to play games like Dying Light or Shadow of Mordor/War at silky smooth 60 fps at 1080p and high graphics. The whole time temps stayed low and the laptop stayed fairly quiet. I'm not going to play fucking Cyberpunk at ultra graphics or something, because I know that it's not nearly as powerful as a "big" gaming machine. But it's affordable, portable, takes up little space and all the games I AM interested in released in previous years work at silky smooth framerate. So I am satisfied.
>>689418361this. gaming laptops are a pretty good value now, and are MUCH better built they they used to be. they are great at playing older titles, and can handle modern games OK in 1080. my rtx 2060 could handle baldurs gate fine. not sure if i'm gonna try to play any other modern titles on it. I might try hell divers 2. I'm not sure what's going on with PC games. They seem to be really poorly unoptimized frequently. I have a series x for the most demanding games.
>>689411035I was literally about to post this exact same post when I looked at the OP. Samebrain
>>689404275I'm using a 4 year old MSI Modern 15. I really need a more powerful replacement as the keyboard is getting worse and worse with double input on so many keys, especially i, r and t
I want to play old mmos and emulated MH. Which laptop would you guys recommend?
>>689416234>Not to mention $1000 only gets you like some low end trash that will require upgrade in a couple of years. If you don't go big then go home and paying $2000 for a PC A 7900 gre is plenty and will last you 5 years at least. You're full of shit.
>>689419641They are shit value.
>>689417841>why? are you referring to the resolution? I still think 1080p is ideal for laptops at this point. even the beefiest GPUs still can't handle 4k well.Some laptops have that shitty 45% NTSC color gamut display. You should be getting one with at least 100% sRGB.
>>689404275just get steam deck duh
>>689404275Never buy rtx laptop Biggest mistake of my life
>>689404275My msi laptop shit itself after a year, fan broke, performance drop to half and to much overheating even after applying paste
>>689421005>They are shit value.wrong. they are pretty close in price to a similar spec'ed machine, monitor, memory, ram, keyboard.
>>689404275>Is there anything good out there?I think the lenovo laptops have the best build quality out there. upgradable ram, best cooling, and most models run at full wattage. just make sure to lookup the specific model specs because they vary. i've been pretty happy with my rtx 2060 model from 2020. I would still go 1080p on the screen. especially if you play older titles. 1080p is often the top resolution. I don't think 1080p upscales to 1600 well. I know for video you don't want to fuck around with uneven pixel upscaling.
>>689404413I need laptop for work as wellalso I hate that PC is vulnerable to outage/blackout. at least laptop got a battery.
As someone living in a shithole with a lot of blackouts, I love laptops! I'm currently using left for work and gaming and right as a "2nd screen"
>>689404275Check this https://gaminglaptop.deals/When it comes to laptops, 4060 gpu is the sweetspot for price-performance. Just make sure you do your research and check for things like build quality, display color gamut, weight, heat management, fan noise, etc. Some laptops have great specs but shit everything else. Lenovo and Asus are generally good brands. Also, why do you want a laptop? Do you travel a lot?
I bought an expensive Lenovo gaming laptop and while it's incredible I barely use it and so I'm thinking of selling it
>>689416234This.
>>689404275I grabbed a Alienware 17 r4 off a local college auction site for about $250. Not a bad laptop, even now.You can find "for parts/not working" laptops on ebay for relatively cheap. If you know anything about laptop repair you can fix them up for a decent value.
>>689416234Complete bullshit. Here. Zero compromise PC + monitor for less than $1500https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w2xpqRYou can make it less than $1300 by changing the gpuhttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/yFPZkJNot to mention parts such as the monitor, PSU, ssd, etc, carry over to your next build. A laptop is a brick once it becomes obsolete.
>>689421906>As someone living in a shithole with a lot of blackoutsthis is the sole reason I will NEVER by a PC/fuck I hate this shithole so much.I have he money but not the infrastructure
That thing is going to burn your boys if you use it on your actual lap. Need to go up to vector tier to get proper exhaust out the back. Notice how the vector has 2 exhausts in the back? You need them if you are actually gaming on the laptop and it sits on your lap.
>>689425783Yep, I have the money (that's the only reason I don't leave, everything is cheap if you don't earn in local money) but fuck, after losing my second desktop I preferred to switch to laptops
>>689404413studio apartment, moving a lot, student, needs to also function as work/school laptop, take a lot of trips and can't afford both a pc and laptop, can't afford a good PC, like play multiplayer at a friends house, like to play laying down, don't like desks etc etc
>>689428870this.portability is king.this is why switch beat the hell out of PS4/5 and XBOX
>>689404275>Cheap>Gaming>LaptopPick two.
$1700 laptop with a rtx 4800 is the sweet spot. Dont fall for the 4700 or bellow. Preferably wait half a year if you can tho.
i picked up an ASUS Strix G15 a couple years ago for just over $1000 on sale. 3050, ryzen 6800, 16 gigs of RAM with space for 32. shit's pretty great, i get over 60 fps consistently playing phantom liberty. get one of those plastic bases with a built-in fan and an aluminum mouse pad and you can go ultra comfy mode in bed
>>689425647and you can buy a laptop with a better nvidia 4080 for almost the same price. which is what everyone is saying. the laptop op posted is $1000. just shut the fuck up already. we know a full rig is better than a laptop, but it's not that much of a value adder, and there's value to a laptop.
>>689404275No cause they all overheat, until they make a big with proper cooling system it isnt worth it
ask on /g/ where there's less retarded children
>>689432832The correct answer was already given here.
>>689404275There are plenty of good gaming laptops.Always wait for a sale on the previous year's models.This is how I was able to get a Razer Blade 15 2022 with 3080 Ti, 32GB RAM, 240hz refresh and 1TB SSD for $1900That's almost half of its retail price. Less than half if you include tax.
>>689404275>gaming >laptopbought one a year ago and it exploded right after warranty ended and the only way to fix it is pay half what i payed for the laptop
I have a desktop, but seeing people have a complete meltdown over laptops never gets old. You can guarantee they watch Linus Tech Tips.
>>689410968Isn't that even bigger compromise?
>>689434234Does that fag have some anti-laptop agenda?
asus makes pretty good ones
>>689434052sucks to be you mine is 2 years old and still working fine
>>689433935>Razer Blade 15that looks good, but too expensive. like, 30% over my budget.
>>689434234to be fair they used to suck hard just like 5 years agothat bad rep is going to last a lot of time
What's a good non-gaming laptop that can also play some less demanding games like Project Zomboid? I already have a gaming PC so I don't need a gaming laptop, but I do need a laptop and wouldn't mind it also having some small gaming functionality.
I like laptops, but when used intensively for gaming, it gets really hot really fast, also the lifespan isn't long. I buy a new laptop every 4 years on average. How long does a PC last ni comparison? I never had a PC?
>>689404275>laptops
>>689432819>No cause they all overheatthis hasn't been an issue since like 2020 on good laptops.
>>689435093This is what I'm using >>689420017I use my laptop for indies, VN and AA games.
>>689433706maybe? not sure which, but probably drowned out by the retarded answers
>>689434458It's just the personality trait of being completely tech illiterate and regurgitating talking points like you're some authority on people's purchasing decisions. Smug retards, basically.
>>689428870the thing is an ultrabook/macbook/thinkpad is so much better for work/school. build quality, screen is so much better. and if you care about the screen, a cheap gaming laptop will cut corners to get a good price. a gaming laptop is loud as shit, will fill half of your backpack, made of cheap plastic and has a terrible battery, you will always have to be plugged in. the ones that have good build quality are near 2000 dollars and still have battery/thermal problems. if you are only playing something like league or whatever esport, most ultrabooks with the latest integraded cpu can play them on low settings. if you get a cheap gaming laptop with a 3060 you can maybe play games like sekiro on low-mid settings. i say this from experience from getting an omen years ago just bc i wanted to get one for no real reason.
>>689432492>band you can buy a laptop with a better nvidia 4080 for almost the same priceWay to expose yourself for having no idea what you're talking about. Laptop 4080 =! desktop 4080. Laptop 4080 has 12gb vram and 4070 desktop tier performance. Aka it's just a desktop 4070 non-super for all intents and purposes. It gets absolutely MOGGED by the 7900gre. Pic related is the gpu timespy score of the best 4080 laptop gpu (Legion 7i pro). Both the 7900 gre and the 4070 super will get 21k+ gpu score. The 4080 desktop will get 27k+.There is no reason to buy a laptop unless you travel a lot.
>>689436932And this is still great performance when you want to have a portable PC that's good for gaming.
>>689404275Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, decent specs and really good build quality (get the pro model because of the metal chassis)
>>689435135I used a mid-range gaming PC I built in 2012 for literally a decade. It was a stretch the last 5 years or so, but I reckon if you build a modern PC with an AM5 socket mb it can easily last you a decade just by upgrading gpu and cpu in 5 years.
>>689437149It is, but powerful gaming laptops are known to suddenly shit the bed after +2 years. Unless you are still within the warranty period you are fucked. I wouldn't invest in a super powerful gaming laptop. Either buy a sub $1k 4060 laptop or just invest in a desktop which has reusable, upgradeable parts.
>>68940427590% of laptops are made to break, especially cheap ones, I went through a few laptops over the years before figuring it out myself.Buy a stationary PC if you want to play modern vidya long term, if you don't want one then seriously reconsider, if you still don't want one then buy an ENTERPRISE laptop and just accept the fact that you have to leave a large amount of performance on the table for the sake of portability.Lenovo is still pretty good with high end stuff (worse than they were years ago though).If you want to spend less than 750 bucks on a laptop then buy a Steam deck OLED, it is probably still the best "bang for buck" portable gayming device currently, if you can stretch yourself up to 1300 then go for a well known and community recommended Lenovo enterprise laptop or a Framework laptop (13 or 16, both are pretty good. 13 is way more portable but 16 has an actual graphics card)
>>689438987>recommended Lenovo enterprise laptopWhich ones are recommended? I'm eyeing the T14 but what about the rest?
>>689439546It all comes down to your preference, budget and how much community support is behind the laptop. I would't buy a thinkpad that hasn't been adopted by the corporate cultists since the added community support and larger amounts of laptops in the wild means A LOT more support from both the community and Lenovo.My current laptop is the Ryzen edition Framework 13 and I fucking love this thing, it has a few quirks but since its 90% open source and designed to be taken apart, there are workarounds, replacement parts and a ton of community support behind it.
>>689439546Avoid the Intel variants like the fucking plague, their processors run so hot under load that they literally burn themselves out and the extra CPU performance is not worth it when the 780m Ryzen alternatives have upwards of 75% more performance in vidya and compute tasks
>>689437149no it isn't considering GPU throttle performance when temperatures get high and its just a fact that a laptop will run hotter than a desktop
>>689432819My laptop is still running 7y later you where unlucky
>>689439546I would get a lenovo yoga 2 in 1 that can flip into a tablet. my gradschool made me pay for one in 2014 and it had an i7 at the time and it was pretty good and i played games on low settings like tf2, civ 6, league and stardew valley on it. i remember it could not play csgo well. im sure the newer integrated graphics have gotten better since although i cant be 100% sure. the tablet mode and touchscreen are gamechangers for school honestly. the one my school required was a sturdier thinkpad version that is similar to the current x13 but i think the yoga 9i would be a better experience right now.
>>689434930Understandable, in that case I'd go with a Lenovo Legion laptop, they're much more affordable and usually with higher specs, you just miss out on the solid aluminum build Razer offers.Just stay away from ASUS/ROG brand stuff, it's not worth the headache.`
>>689444649Hmm I was actually thinking this one
>>689417841>tt's weird how /v/ loves an underpowered steamdeck>portable>extremely good bang for buck at $300you're an idiot.
>>689417841>/v/ loves an underpowered steamdeck but seethes at laptops.It's almost as if /v/ might be retarded
