See if a Walmart near you has this one available.It says it's still there for me, but sadly only in one store that's 30 miles away from me. I have no way to go out there.
Thanks cuz I was about to buy it.

Nope. Nada.
In the $500-$600 range, you should be looking for a GTX 1650 equipped machine for light gaming.
Oh yes, I've been praying for 1440p/120fps+ panels foe YEARS.
By the time I next upgrade my laptop (waiting for 5nm RTX 4000 series), I'll definitely be in the market for something like that.
Good news: Undervolting can't damage your laptop. If you go to far, the laptop reboots and resets the setting, and you back it down until you find the stable voltage. No damage can be done.
Overvolting in an entirely different story, but this is not that. You'll never break a CPU/GPU by taking power away from it.
I undervolt both my CPU and GPU on my dell and have no problems with it.
Fans also are noticably quieter and the temps don't go above 80 degrees most of the time.
Maybe it's cause you're playing more demanding games?I'm an idiot and thought that video was about replacing the thermal paste which was talked about earlier. I actually do have my CPU undervolted, but it's still feeling like it's getting warmer after consistent use for 1.5 years, even with max fans being used while gaming and having a cooling pad.
The post I quoted to had a quote of my post etc that link lol, it was sold out a BBNope. Nada.
Wait, the same one is at Best Buy though. I was about buy a more expensive one with the same 256GB storage that was posted a few posts back. Went ahead and canceled that. I'll grab this one.
Some German tell me if there's a better deal than this 🤔
There's the 2060 version as well for like 30€ more, minus Windows.
I hope to God that AMD can use the 5000 series to do series damage to Intel's strangle hole on the gaming laptop market. It's ridiculous how little improvement we've seen over the past decade.
Oh and the 5700M actually did make it into the Alienware Area-51M R2's configurator. I know one person who has one configured with it; the 5700M performs about exactly as a desktop RX 5700 (non-XT), as it should as the specs are identical.
Shame they couldn't get that out to the masses like 8 months ago, the RX 5700 is a damn good GPU.
I remember seeing the leaks and coming to the conclusion that the 5700M was only a skip ahead of the 5600M. This would have been a great GPU to pair with the 4800H and 4900H (especially on the Dell 4900H model that's on bestbuy right now). That said....SolarPowered
I had it saved. Here's a Firestrike score I was sent for the 5700M at stock clocks:
That's right about the same as the mobile RTX 2070 Super, and it's $180 less to choose in the configuration versus that GPU.
Oh my!NEW Gaming Laptops - 78% More Pixels!
2021 RTX 3080 + AMD gaming laptops are gonna have this new screen. Here's an early look at what this 1440p 165hz panels are like Available Early - https://ww...youtu.be
Thoughts?
For me 1080p is fine for now since 1440p you'll need a flagship GPU to play at a high framerate.
Also I think 1440p might not be as noticable on 15.6" laptops.
And downscaling to 1080p looks bad if you want to trade looks for performance.
Eight CPU cores, 8GB VRAM, DLSS 2.0 and RTX are pretty much everything you need for a machine that will last you many years at 1080p. RDNA 2 will very likely give us crazy powerful raster cards even if RTX and DLSS don't matter to you.Well I just want a laptop for gaming but also that's futureproof.
I'm guessing we won't see substantial gains if rtx 3000 series are coming to mobile next year (and maybe with new CPUs I dunno how this really works).
For now I'm fine with 1080p/100+ fps in medium to high graphics and since there aren't really many gaming laptops with 1440p that are in the affordable range.
The 5nm GPUs coming in Q1 of 2023 are currently my targeted time to upgrade. I also have an i7-9700K and RTX 2080 in my laptop though, so the wait if nothing for me.I've been waiting for a resolution bump on laptops for years. It does suck that this will hit our FPS, but the positives are too good imo. I'm starting to think I should just buy a cheap 6 core gaming laptop to last me for a couple of years. Then around 2023 I can upgrade to a RDNA 4/Nvidia chiplet GPU laptop that can properly push 1440p/144Hz.
I've never been a PC gamer before, but it was time for me to update my laptop and I went with that $450 one from BestBuy. Kind of excited to see what things I can play with it. I dunno how accurate some of these "can i run it" sites are, but from what I'm pulling from the BestBuy specs, it can seemingly run plenty of PS4 games. It even says it meets minimum requirements for Cyberpunk, which sounds wrong, lol. I'd just be happy to play stuff like Tales of Berseria or DBZ: Kakarot.
Looks like some of BB's Black Friday deals are up. You can get the HP for $449 with a 4600H and two expandable RAM slots for 32GB. That's a 10750H tier laptop CPU for less than $500. It is absolutely bananas. The Omen is about one of the best chassis you can get a 1660ti in. That terabyte of nvme SSD, responsive/colorful 144Hz screen, 16GB and 4800H makes it an excellent midrange gaming machine as well for $949. There is almost no need to open it up for upgrades for a good while. I feel so spoiled for choice that I don't know quite what to do. I feel like an eternal window shopper lol.

Undervolted AMD RX 6800 with 183 W TGP offers clues about an upcoming RX 6800M laptop-grade GPU matching the desktop RTX 2080 Ti
The RX 6800 GPU particularly efficient when it comes to undervolting, as its TGP can be reduced by 45 W down to 183 W. These figures are already laptop-friendly if we look at Nvidia's RTX 2080 Super mobility GPUs, so we can expect to see an RX 6800M GPU with 150-180W TGPs that matches the...www.notebookcheck.net

AMD certainly has the necessary hardware to compete in the laptop space . The final question is whether or not TSMC has the output. A 12GB card sure would go nicely with a 1440p laptop screen, but those don't exist ye-
Oh my!

Razer?My 1 year Lenovo gaming laptop from last year is having screen problems, going to have to repaired and then sell it
i want a high quality good feeling laptop, is there any huge mark against a razer? I don't mind spending the extra money
i have a really really good desktop already, prolly going to keep it to a1660ti or 2660
should I wait for amd and 3000 series to release?
The link you had worked for me. There was only one left in my area though. It was too far for me.The post I quoted to had a quote of my post etc that link lol, it was sold out a BB
I found one at Best Buy in a bundle deal that included a mouse and a mouse pad for $500. It won't come until December though. Extra sad faceThe post I quoted to had a quote of my post etc that link lol, it was sold out a BB

I guess now I have to start paying attention to Steam sales and things, haha.
Another 8GB should be enough if you are a light user. I tried searching for the RAM, but the process is unecessarily complicated. I personally feel more comfortable with 32GB, but that's an investment that should probably be made on a more expensive gaming laptop.Just bought the Best Buy laptop $450 one. Would anyone recommend adding ram? If so what's the best brand/type to use?
You should probably get the 4600H one.I'm on the lookout for a budget gaming laptop for my daughter, these seems reasonable and within my price range:

How does it look? FWIW she doesn't play demanding games but may want to as she grows up.
Apparently the lenovo legion allows you disable nvidia optimus which improves performance and it's screen has a larger freesync range. I personally really like the aesthetics of the Omen. It's a real tossup, but if you're willin to spend a little more then you do get those extras and DLSS (much more valuable than FPS sucking RTX imo).anyone have any opinions on the omen 15 that best buy is doing (4800H, 1660ti) vs. the lenovo legion 5 with the amd cpu (it's not available right now but it's also the 4800H with an rtx 2060). $949 for the omen vs. $1109 for the legion
The pascal 1000 series from Nvidia truly brought console class gaming to laptops and changed the game big time. The new 6-8 core laptop CPUs (especially AMD's Renoir processors) now bring tremendous processing power to the $400-$800 budget realm as well. It's a good time to be a PC gamer.checking out the deals for black friday it seems like gaming laptops have come a long way in the past 5 years, kind of blown away by the value you can get nowadays
You might want to invest in something like a datavac. They're great for cleaning dusty computer internals. I got mine for $60 years ago, but it seems like Covid might have resulted in price hikes.Ok got my laptop opened up and the old thermal paste off. That wasn't too bad. Hopefully it'll be easy to put it back together as well. Just waiting on Amazon to drop off the new stuff and I should be done. Guess I need to figure out how to clean the fans because man they are dirty.

For anyone that hasn't seen it already, Nvidia has announced their next batch of laptop GPUs that will be launching in the next few months if people want to hold off a bit. There's a chart in the article showing what price ranges for laptops will be getting which GPUs, and what they'll be replacing. For example laptops starting at around $999 that currently have RTX 2060s will be replaced with RTX 3060s. Info in the article below.

Probably the best bang for your buck and the reviews are good too.
The mobile 1650 is pretty close to the GTX 1060, just to give you a relative idea. You're definitely be playing PS4 games well at 1080p.I've never been a PC gamer before, but it was time for me to update my laptop and I went with that $450 one from BestBuy.

You should be fine, though I'd try to find an identical RAM stick if possible.I bought this last year on Black Friday:
It's been great, but it seems that more and more games want 16GB RAM while still supporting my GPU and CPU. So i want to install another 8GB on this to make it 16GB. Never did this before so I just want to make sure everything will be fine.
Will this:
work with this:
The 2060 is absolutely worth the extra money, for longevity's sake.anyone have any opinions on the omen 15 that best buy is doing (4800H, 1660ti) vs. the lenovo legion 5 with the amd cpu (it's not available right now but it's also the 4800H with an rtx 2060). $949 for the omen vs. $1109 for the legion
checking out the deals for black friday it seems like gaming laptops have come a long way in the past 5 years, kind of blown away by the value you can get nowadays
A single 16GB stick paired with the 8GB stick means you won't have dual channel though.I bought a16gig stick. That'll be good enough for me. I have a series x which I'll probably do most my gaming on but just wanted something I could do work and experience some pc gaming.
Can you do £699.00?
Which gaming laptops have the best build quality/customer service?
I am absolutely done with Lenovo
I'm looking for a laptop for some gaming and currently have my eyes on a G3 15-3500 from Dell. I7, 16GB, RTX 2060...
I can get it for approx. 1000€ , which seems ok if a little bit over my budget. The only things I'm worrying about are noise levels and heat. I'm guessing with specs like these, it's bound to be pretty noisy and prone to high temperatures. Is this something I should really look at or does that come with laptop gaming territory in the "you just have to deal with it" sense?
I might bite on a less powerful laptop (say something with 8GB and a 1650) if noise and heat are a lot less of an issue with these lower specs.
I'm mad skeptical of RTX 3060 SKUs being anywhere near $1k on day one. Nvidia also said the RTX 2060 would be available for $999 in 2020 laptops, and that never really came to fruition.For anyone that hasn't seen it already, Nvidia has announced their next batch of laptop GPUs that will be launching in the next few months if people want to hold off a bit.
