$1700 computer for $500Wheres the scam?
>Wheres the scam?It's a gaming laptop
>>724322108>where's the scam$1700
>>724322108>where's the scamas the owner of one, it's the fact that it's a gaming laptopstill a decent deal if you ABSOLUTELY need to be able to move your PC around
>>724322194Explain why its badThe original price was $1700cant run worse than a $1000 PC
>>724322194fpbp
>>724322108Its cheaper on Temu
>>724322108Probably already out of stock, since it was on clearance. Also, some companies list high original prices they slash to give you the impression you're saving.
>>724322108>vega8>gamingtop zozzle
>>724322108there is no way this was ever $1700, it doesnt even have a dedicated graphics card
>>724322108>$1700>integrated graphics100% a scam. $500 is an alright price but no way on earth it was ever worth close to $1700.
>>724322108this laptop isn't even worth 100 bucks.https://youtu.be/dPKf68bjKcY?si=uI_RPDSEgvPOexZ9this video shows desktop version version of GPU, it can barely run anything and the Laptop version is likely 2x worse. If you don't want to get ripped off you might want to learn more. or at least put the text into chatgpt and hope you get some clarity. if 500 dollars is your price range your only real hope for decent gaming is a console or the various "pc for 500 dollars builds" on youtube by using used pc parts.There is no gaming laptop that will be usable in your price range. you have already been tricked once don't get tricked again. (watch out for the "for parts scam" when buying use part if you're not sure ask chatgpt if this is scam if its too good to be true)
>>724322340>cant run worse than a $1000 PCIt will.Laptops are absolute shit for gaming.
>>724322340>cant run worse than a $1000 PCIt can because laptops need to be underclocked due to thermals
>>724322340It will overheat, throttle and perform way worse than 1000$. What you retards never understand is that regular pc has 5kg of radiators and 6 proper fans to cool it off. You'll never get the same cooling properties on notebook.
>>724322340Laptop's overheat like a motherfucker if you use them for game's.Also if anything break's you generally have to use something external or replace the entire thing.And the fucking latch's that hold the screen like to break because it's usually some kind of cheap plastic.
>>724322108Damn. Who's the Gipsy Danger wannabe?
>>724323057ba'sed
Gaming laptops should NEVER be considered for a primary gaming device unless you are constantly on business travel. But if you are constantly on business travelling, you can probably afford a big beefy pc at home too.
>>724322108another thing is they tried to scam you by having a really high price and then making a deal.so you think your getting a deal when this is a giving you a 2013 mid level performance.
>>724322108nigga your GPU???????
>>724322108wtf is kaigerr
>>724323316Playing on a nootebook while traveling with 1 hour battery life would suck too. I'd rather get a steam deck for that.
>>724322108>old cpu>16 ram>tiny ssd>shitty graphics card>laptop
>>724322340You're never going to be able to utilize full power of a laptops specs due to overheating making it throttle perfomance in order to cool down
>>724322108The scam is that it was not a $1700 computer to begin with, it's a fake discount.
>>724322108the scam is them listing this cheap shit laptop at an exorbitant price than permanently marking it down so your retarded ass thinks it's actually a deal instead of a $500 laptop being sold as a $500 laptop
Check the warranty and return policy. It could just be the merchant messed up and bought too many.
>>724322108>>724322340Every retard in this thread is too retarded to give the reply OP is baiting for, so I shall give it to him.>THATS NOT A TRUE $1700 LAPTOP IT LITERALLY HAS INTEGRATED GRAPHICS I AM TRIGGERED REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>724323557You dont game while travelling. You game in your hotel room, which has a plug, instead of blowing your money at the local strip club or on a whore.
Since this is troll thread.What gaming laptop do you have?Here is mine.
>>724324803had an hp omen, returned it after 2 weeks
>>724324803I like how its not turned on.Laptops suck.
>>724322108>Radeon RX Vega 8
>>724322108Are they seriously advertising their laptop with pacific rim 2
>>724322548>vega8This, If it's an IGPU and it's not the new 8050/8060 in the Ryzen AI Max processor's what's the point? That thing does about as good as NVIDIA 4070mobile or 4060. All the cpu ram/vram is on the chip and you can choose how much goes to the cpu/gpu..
>>724322340>cant run worse than a $1000 PCIt absolutely will. You can get a PC with a 4060 for $1000. This laptop doesn't even have a GPU, it has integrated graphics in the CPU. The desktop Vega 8 is roughly equal to an RX 5600, or a GTX 1060, the laptop version is more like a 1030. It is completely incapable of modern gaming and $1700 is extortionate rip off.
>>724322108>Radeon RX Vega 8there's the scam, shit is 1/10th the power of the weakest dedicated laptop GPU from 2 generations ago
>>724325702>That thing does about as good as NVIDIA 4070mobile or 4060.Absolute retard.
>>724324649But how often hotel room has a good table and chair? With steam deck you can just lie down in bed
>>724322932>>724322939>>724323019>>724323057>>724325703What about LENOVO LOQ 15ARP9 - RAM 24GB - PROC RYZEN 7 7435HS - SSD 512GB - RTX 4050 6GB - DISP 15.6" for 400€?
>>724322108Wouldn't even buy it for $300 if it was on Facebook marketplace around the corner. For 200 I'd think about it
>>724322108Don't believe that something is worth buying just because it's supposedly discounted. I'm not spoonfeeding you further, do your own research and stop asking /v/.
>>724322108>1700 bucks for a laptop without dedicated gpulol, lmao
>>724326098Bottom of the barrel laptop graphics card, but way better than the crap OP posted that has none.This barely qualifies as a gaming laptop but if for you it will seem impressive.
>>724323057>And the fucking latch's that hold the screen like to break because it's usually some kind of cheap plastic.Starting fucking opening it from the middle instead of the side like you're supposed to you fucking ape.
>>724326098Seem like a good deal on paper
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?Laptop cpus are crap.same with mobile verstion GPU
>>724322108>windows 11that's explains all
>>724326517Wait, the middle or the side?I alway's opened it from the back, maybe that was the issue.
>>724322108>minus 1 cent from the next hundred dollar>Regularly $1700>-71% off>"Limited time deal"
>>724326098Laptop GPU nowadays are not like 10 years ago. They actually perform close to their desktop counterpart nowadays. RTX 4050 is already as good as desktop 3060.
>explodes on your lap from overheating, destroying your cock and ballsheh, nothing personnel
>>724326804It's 2025 bud. Not 2015. You've alot of catching up to do.
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?it's a $500 laptop sold for $1700, you have to be retarded to believe these (((discounts)))
>>724322108Could just be a literal scam. 3rd party sellers with insane deals are usually too good to be true.
>>724326950That one penny off the whole dollar fools people all the time, even when they know the why of it.
ya whats the gpu, thats the most important partyou can get decent laptops for 700 which i did years ago, i never use it anymore but it works good and i played through games on it. has mobile 4060 on it
>>724322108>integrated gpuIt's a $500 laptop with a fake original priceSee this shit all the time in chink stores
>>724326098The cpu and ram is actually a lot better than what is on series x and playstation 5 but the gpu is weak, more like a xbox series s gpuSo basically youre fine if you dont need high resolutions, youre fine if youre ok with using aggressive DLSS
>RX Vega 8The original price of $1700 was scam, you can get laptops with RTX5060 for less.
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?Suggesting that this is a modern gaming laptop and that it was ever priced at 1700 dollars.I have two very similar laptops, but I use them for random tasks and not for gaming.
>>724322108Look up the model number of the laptop and see what price it being posted for on other websites. I would wager no one else is listing it for $1700.The scam is convincing trying you that is a good deal, when product in reality is only worth $500.As a daily driver for general tasks this is a good deal. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming.
>>724326098LOQs have shitty motherboards from what I heard, otherwise good enough for budget gayming. I had an ASUS Tuf with 3050 which is in about the same price range, served me well for 3 years until I replaced with something better.
>>724323659My laptop has a vapor chamber and the 4090 (downclocked desktop 4080) idles at 40 degrees, sits at 50-60 while gaming, only exceeds 60 with modern AAA games and never exceeds 65. Performs like a 4070ti super. You're not wrong about gaming laptops in general and especially OP's which is a pile of shit but it isn't necessarily always true.
>>724322340>The original price was $1700The folks at Kaigerr are liars.>cant run worse than a $1000 PCWrong. Very wrong.
>16gb rami didnt look further, 64gb is minimum in 2025
>>724322340>The original price was $1700lmaoyou can't possibly be this dumb
>>724322340>cant run worse than a $1000My boss bought me this X1 yoga in 2023 for 2600 dollars. Im certain a $1000 pc would be better.
>>724326098I've gotten burnt on Lenovo too often to recommend them
>>724322108That Laptop specs look pretty bad if you ask me, for that price I got 32GB with a better iGPU.
>>724322108It doesn't have a dedicated GPU and doesn't even have enough storage to install 2 games, the fuck you gonna play, Minesweeper?
>Vega graphics lmao
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?Click on price history and find out.I see this all the time with board games:Normal price: 80 bucksNormal discount: 60-70 bucksReally good deal: 55 bucksLIMITED TIME DEAL: 80 bucks (-50% Normal price 160 bucks!!!!)Do NOT let the jew trick you
I'm weird AF because of all the things I care about in a gaming laptop I prioritize battery life as the biggest one.I would never do any gaming without being connected to the wall but if it's a portable PC I want to use it that way.
It's all about battery life now, you can connect to the real PC from elsewhere with a good lunar lake laptop or one of those snapdragon elite gen 2 laptops.
>>724328647>doesn't even have enough storage to install 2 gamesStop playing AAA slop
>>724322108>vega 8kek this thing is slower than a steam deck and by quite a bitliterally slower than the gpu in a new iphone
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?In the "original" price, that computer only costs 500$, but they put the "original" price before discount at 1700$ to appear as if it had a huge discount, when it's actually being sold at MSRP.Have in mind that the cpu in those is several generations old already, as in 4 generations old, unless that's built like a premium laptop, that is even a bit overpriced since you can most probably fin newer laptops with better specs at not much more money.
Buying a gaming notebook is a mental illness. I have a thin n light with HX 370 for work and a desktop for gaming. Every retard with a gaming notebook I see only uses it at home anyway.
>>724322108>Wheres the scam?When you become aware they punch far lower than desktops with identical specs. Thermal throttling is a bitch, and will affect any gaming laptop.Also, I'd be mad suspicious buying any serious laptop because many retarded manufacturers are resorting to using liquid metal for their cooling nowadays. Depending on the build quality, it may not take much for a bead of it to drip and short something out.
>>7243260308060S is a 40CU chip, it's not your regular iGPU. It has more compute than the 7600 XT. Depending on wattage the 395+ is running at, the 8060S is about as fast as a desktop 4060.
>>724324803a steam deck
>>724322108>he boughted amd laptop
>>724322108>vega
>>724324803what GPU does that have?anyway I have an HP Omen with an rtx 3060.
>>724323019cant you just add some heat pipes or smth and some fans on the sides, one intake, one exhaust
>>724322108this would be good for playing older games on the go, not bad for 500
>>724331301It's a small memepad so only iGPU, 4650U with vega6. It struggles to play even simple 3D games like Talos Principle at 1080p 60.But good enough for indie garbage or light emulation.I have a desktop PC for more demanding stuff.
>>724322108If you mostly play older games, indies and emulate stuff you'll get good mileage out of it. Don't expect to play anything more intensive than, say, Witcher 3 on low-mid settings.
>>724322108Gay man laptops used to be worth a damn before they started making them thinner and thinner. This shit won't last more than 2 years tops.
>>724322108Similar laptop same brand on amazon was around 430
>>724322108>gaming pc>integrated graphicsthis store has another laptop with the same specs aside from a R7 5700 for an actual appropriate base price of about $480, this is literally a scam made to push a product where they make it look like it's worth something its not and then "discount" it to make you think it's an insane deal
>>724331584neatI used to have a memepad with a dedicated nvidia GPU. It was still shit for games though. T530 iirc.
>>724331401Just buy a Steam Deck instead of this shit...
>>724332191maybe youd also like to be able to do regular computer things toosteam deck is dogshit and women get the ick if you own one
>>724329198>Thermal throttling is a bitch, and will affect any gaming laptop.Not mine. My GPU (4090) and CPU (7945HX) are rated for 100 degrees. I have them both limited to 75 because why not. The CPU occasionally reaches that limit in really intensive tasks, but doesn't throttle hard, and the GPU doesn't even approach anywhere close to it. Had the laptop 2 years now, things were beginning to get warmer to where I had to increase the CPU limit to 85, but it's right back down again after replacing the liquid metal and thermal putty.
>>724322108The $1700 is the scam
>>724322108fake original prices to make the sales look good
isn't that the robot from pacific rim
>>724326951HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAno
>>724322108>5825U>"vega graphics"Even $500 is a bit much for this computer.
>>724322108a wise man once said if something is too good to be true it probably is
>>724322108>no camelcamelcamel or keepa extensionYou're getting scammed anon
>Wheres the scam?Enjoy playing PS2 games and pixel indie games anon, this shit likely will overheat playing Minecraft.
>>724322108How is this legal? There can't be a single place on earth that has sold this laptop for $1,699.99 within the last 24 months at least so how can it possibly be legal to promote the sale like this?
>>724322108>$1700That's the scam, it was probably on "sale" 24/7 for $1000
>>724334864>How is this legal?I'm pretty sure it isn't, not where I live anyway.
>>724322108>AMDThere is is.
>>724329713Where's the regenerate button?
>>724334864Most laws against this say you can't have something on sale permanently but the loophole in those laws is that you can take it off sale for like a week and then put it back on sale
>>724334967AMD CPUs are good, especially in a laptop.
>>724335061For about a month. Then they begin to have performance issues.
why does this board have so many schizos
>Gaming laptop for old ass games and indie shit >PS5 for modern shit I never have to worry about new games being unoptimized and I can easily play shit like Bloons TD6 at 144fps with a mouse and keyboard.
>>724334331>https://youtu.be/ugWKJ1QWiEcYes.If this was 10 years ago;>a <$500 GTX 960 Desktop would do 1080pHigh60>a $1000+ GTX 960M Laptop would do 1080pMed30More than double the price for half the performance.Nowadays gaming laptops are more efficient, more affordable, less bulky, less expensive, already came with fast display panels, and performs close to their desktop counterparts, it's just fact.Wanna know why? Because they're using the same fucking chips. Just slightly detuned clocks and thermals. 10 years ago they used different chips between Desktop/Laptop, GM206 for the real 960 Desktop, and GM107 for the 960M, half the cores, and as weak as a 750.
>>724337671Maybe with these shitty GPUs that only use 100 Watts. The higher end GPUs are dogshit in mobile because laptops can't produce enough power to power 300W GPUs
>>724337671Desktop 3060 vs Mobile 3060>https://youtu.be/S1sCLpkOkhYMobile 4050 vs Mobile 3060>https://youtu.be/A-IvCqe47WE
I like my gaming laptop
>>724322194Sorry, I'm an adult that can afford nice things now. I don't need to pretend that replacing parts in a cobbled together budget model makes me "smart" anymore.
>>724338309Yeah and can 400€ fucking buy you a high-end gaming Laptop, you absolute fucking retard? Or even a desktop RTX 3070 when it was launched?
The best games on PC are all 15 years and older at this point.
brands like this are a complete scam. They set the list price to be insanely high, like $1700 and constantly have it on sale for $500 so retards think "WHOA what a deal!"
>>724322108Never buy a laptop gamer.
Retard getting scammed by the "original price"It's not "1200 dollars cheaper"it costs exactly 500, the "original price" is added after the factit's a 500 dollar laptop, the hardware is worse than on a desktop, it has temperature issues and shitty peripheralsthe only reason to get a laptop is if you travel a lot
>>724338691Ate you saying you can buy a 4060 laptop for that price? what is your point
>>724322108>AMD laptop>don't even have a real GPUlollmao even!
>>724322340>512gb ssdthere is no way this thing was originally $1700 if its using less than bare minimum for storage wtf
>>724338854A mobile 4060 can max any game I give a shit about if I can find one for 600 I'm all in
>>724322194/thread
>>724322340>The original price was $1700protip: websites can list the "original" price as whatever the fuck they want and call it a sale. that's why you need to invest in something like a price tracker extension that can check the price history. this laptop was never $1700>cant run worse than a $1000 PCit absolutely can and eventually will
>>724322108They wouldn't sell it if they weren't making a profit. It's a $400 laptop they "originally priced" at $1700 so they could discount it to $500 and make a hundred bucks off suckers.
