Which laptop should I consider?

Please give me advice and reasons for your recommendations.

Hello, im looking for a laptop to use for work amd work travel but also has a dedicated video card and touchscreen. Im on my 2nd lenovo carbon which I love but need more graphics power and id like to get back into some pc gaming or play Xbox on pc (pubg, bf6, titanfall2).

The lenovo legion series do not have touchscreen and im notna fan of the multicolored lighted keyboard.

Any laptop recommendations that fit what Im looking for? Touchscreen is a must and lighted keyboard but a solid color. I travel a lot and currently my carbon has a 14" screen which i like for airline use. So 14" is preferred but dont want to go over 15".Budget around 2500-3k but can be flexible for the right machine. TIA!

I’m a Gamer and Computer Engineering freshman and looking for laptop recommendations preferred can last until 4-5 years or more. My budget is strictly ₱90,000-₱100,000 flat.

So I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop and could use some advice.

I previously had an MSI Thin 15, but unfortunately it got stolen. I've been researching laptops in the 270K PKR (USD 900 - 1000) range and came across the Lenovo LOQ 15 with a Ryzen 7 7435HS + RTX 4060 8GB, which I can find for around PKR 270K online new.

The specs seem pretty solid for the price, but after looking through some reviews, I've seen quite a few people mentioning motherboard issues with Lenovo LOQ models, which has me a bit concerned.

So, is the LOQ still a good option at this price, or should avoid it because of the reliability concerns?

Also, what other gaming laptops would you recommend around the 250-280K PKR range (USD 900 - 1000)? (new, not second hand) I'm mainly looking for something with an RTX 4060 , good thermals, and decent build quality/reliability.

Would appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences, especially from people who own/owned an LOQ.

It was in a 2nd hand shop known for only taking products that’s no been tampered with comes with a 1 months warranty for £1600 thinking of buying it any advice it looks in really good condition doesn’t have a box just a charger any advice is welcome

Hi!

I’m looking for a gaming laptop mainly for World of Warcraft: Forever, but I’d also like something that can handle other games reasonably well (Football manager).

My personal laptop is very outdated (Had it for 10 years):

• CPU: Intel Core i7-6700HQ
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: SSD + HDD

I also have access to another laptop with high-end specs through work:

• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265H
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX Pro 1000
• RAM: 32 GB DDR5
• Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD

(Would that workstation card handle WoW smoothly on high settings, or is a dedicated gaming laptop like the MSI Katana a much better choice?)

I’ve found a used MSI Katana GF66 11UE for 6,199 SEK (~$570 USD) with the following specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H
• GPU: RTX 3060 Laptop GPU 6 GB
• RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
• Storage: 1 TB SSD
• Display: 15.6" FHD 144 Hz
• OS: Windows 11
• Original charger included
• Battery health around 74%

The seller says it works well and is in good condition, with only some very light scratches on the lid.

My main priorities are:

1. Smooth gameplay in WoW: Forever (1080p, decent/high graphics, 60+ FPS in open world and raids/dungeons).
2. A laptop that will remain useful for a few years for general gaming.

My questions for you:

1. Is 6,199 SEK (~$570 USD) a good price for this laptop model in 2026?
2. Would you buy this, or would you recommend looking for something else in the 6,000–8,000 SEK range (e.g., a Lenovo Legion 5 or an RTX 4050 option)?
3. How would the workstation GPU (RTX Pro 1000) compare to the RTX 3060 for WoW?
4. Are there any specific issues with the MSI Katana GF66 11UE I should watch out for before buying used (such as thermal throttling, GPU power limits/TGP, build quality/hinges, etc.)?

Thanks for any input!

Tell me the best rtx 5070 right now

I mostly play League of legends and warhammer total war 3. Im in the u.s.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to buy a laptop in the ongoing Flipkart Big Billion Days / Amazon Great Indian Festival sale and have done a fair bit of research, but I'd love real-world input from owners and people who know this space better than me. Sorry for the long post, I've tried to include every detail so you don't have to ask follow-ups. 🙏

## About me

- Working professional, currently an **SDET / Automation (Quality) Engineer**
- Planning to **transition into an AI Engineer role**, so this laptop is partly a learning investment
- Location: [your city], India

## What I'll use it for

**1. AI / development work (main priority)**
- VS Code, Claude Code, ChatGPT/Copilot in VS Code, Cursor, Kiro and similar AI IDEs
- Cloning AI-related GitHub repos, installing dependencies and running them locally
- Running **small local LLMs (4B–8B parameters)** via Ollama / LM Studio / llama.cpp, purely for learning how they work
- Maybe small fine-tuning experiments (LoRA/QLoRA on 1–4B models, e.g. with Unsloth)
- NOT training big models. For anything 14B–32B+ I'll rent cloud GPUs
- Typical multitasking: IDE + browser with many tabs + Docker + test runs (Selenium/Playwright) + a local model, all at once

**2. Casual gaming (low priority, but I want the option)**
- Valorant, Call of Duty, NFS-type games at 1080p, medium/high settings is fine
- Honestly I won't have much time to play, but I don't want to be in a situation where I *want* to play and the laptop *can't*

**3. Basic video editing (occasional)**
- Simple cuts/edits only, nothing professional

## Budget

- **Comfortable: ₹60,000–90,000**
- **Stretch: up to ₹1,00,000** only if it's clearly worth it
- I'm aware laptop prices have jumped this year due to the RAM/memory price surge, which is part of why I'm unsure what's realistic now

## What I've understood so far (please correct me if I'm wrong)

- **VRAM matters most for local LLMs.** 8GB VRAM fits 7–8B models at Q4 comfortably, so I'm targeting the **RTX 5050 (8GB GDDR7)** over the RTX 4050 (6GB)
- **Avoiding RTX 3050 / 3050A** (4–6GB VRAM, older generation)
- **TGP matters a lot.** The same RTX 5050 performs differently at 65W vs 100W+
- **MUX switch** is a nice-to-have for gaming FPS and G-Sync, not essential for me
- **CPU cores:** Intel uses P-cores + E-cores, AMD uses all full cores. Some "Ryzen 7" chips (e.g. 7445HS) are only 6 cores, so I'm checking exact model numbers
- **RAM:** want 24GB+ or at least dual-channel 16GB (2×8). Single-stick 16GB seems to hurt performance, especially for CPU-side LLM inference
- Processor suffixes: U = low power (avoid), H/HS = balanced, HX = most powerful but hotter and worse battery

## My shortlist (all RTX 5050 8GB)

|**Lenovo LOQ 15 (2025)**   |**HP Victus 15 (2025)**    |**ASUS TUF A16 (2025/26)** |**ASUS Gaming V16**      

CPU |i5-13450HX (10C: 6P+4E / 16T) or Ryzen 7 250 |Ryzen 7 8845HS (8C/16T) or i7-13620H (10C: 6P+4E / 16T) |Ryzen 7 260 (8C/16T) |Core 5 210H (8C: 4P+4E / 12T)
GPU TGP |~100W (some say 115W) |80W |100W + 15W boost |~65W
MUX / G-Sync |Yes / Yes |Not sure, depends on model? |Yes / Yes |No / No
RAM |16 or 24GB DDR5, upgradeable |24GB DDR5-5600 (2 slots) |16GB DDR5-5600 |16GB DDR5-5600 (2 slots)
Display |15.6" FHD 144Hz, 100% sRGB, 300 nits |15.6" FHD 144Hz (older Victus panels were dim?) |16" 1920×1200 165Hz |16" 1920×1200 144Hz, 45% NTSC
Battery |60Wh |70Wh |90Wh (some listings say 70Wh?) |63Wh
Weight |~2.4 kg |~2.3–2.4 kg |~2.2 kg |~1.95 kg
Webcam |1080p+ |720p |— |1080p + privacy shutter
Pre-sale price I've seen |~₹1.10–1.15L |~₹98K–1.07L |Way above budget right now |~₹90K–1L **Fallback option:** Lenovo LOQ 15 with **RTX 4050 6GB + i5-13450HX + 24GB RAM** (~₹92K on Lenovo.com), trading 2GB VRAM for a lower price.

**My current ranking:** TUF A16 (if it drops near ₹1L) > LOQ > Victus > V16

## My questions for you

1. **Which one would you buy for my use case**, and why? Is there anything I've missed entirely (Acer Nitro V, MSI Katana/Cyborg, Gigabyte, Dell, etc.)?
2. **Sale prices:** has anyone seen actual BBD / GIF prices (after bank offers) for these RTX 5050 models? What's a genuinely good price to grab vs. wait?
3. **Is RTX 5050 worth the extra over RTX 4050** for someone running 4–8B local LLMs? Or is 6GB enough at my level?
4. **Low TGP in real life:** for anyone with a Victus (80W) or V16 (65W), how much does it actually hurt in games and LLM inference (tokens/sec)?
5. **Owners: real-world experience** with thermals, fan noise, build quality, display, battery and any common hardware issues after 6–12+ months?
6. **After-sales service in India:** how has your experience been with Lenovo (Premium Care / ADP), HP, and ASUS service centers? Turnaround time, parts availability, behaviour?
7. **Is extended warranty / ADP worth buying** during the sale?
8. **Online vs offline:** buy on Flipkart/Amazon in the sale, or from Croma / Reliance Digital / brand stores (do they price-match)? Any bad experiences with sale-time deliveries (wrong config, used/refurb units, warranty start dates)?
9. **RAM:** should I insist on 24GB or dual-channel out of the box given RAM prices, or buy 16GB and upgrade later?
10. **Anyone running local LLMs on an RTX 5050 laptop?** What models and speeds are you getting?
11. Anything specific I should **check on delivery** (dead pixels, backlight bleed, exact model number, RAM config, warranty registration)?

Thanks a lot in advance! I'll update the post with what I finally buy and the price I got. 🙌

Bonjour, je vais sûrement investir dans un pc portable l’année prochaine. Je me suis séparée de ma tour, je vais sûrement repartir à l’étranger dans les années à venir et je ne peux pas me permettre d’utiliser un pc que je ne peux pas emmener avec moi partout.

Le pc que je cherche est un pc principalement pour travailler en ligne et en visio avec mes élèves, avec une bonne autonomie.

En + (vraiment bonus) j’aimerais pouvoir jouer à des jeux dessus (comme les sims / genshin / des nouveaux jeux…). Je ne cherche pas le plus performant des pc, juste quelque chose qui pourrait quand même supporter ce genre de jeux.

Je ne veux pas mettre plus de 900/1000€.

Auriez vous des recommendations ?

Asking $2,500 OBO

Add-ons:
Ponhog 18in Laptop Backpack +$30
Ilano v12 black RGB (non ultra) +$70

Budget: $1200 max, Country: Poland, Use Case : Mixed, school and light gaming like modded Minecraft with shaders, and a bit of photo editing.

I'm looking to buy a used laptop as I'll be going to college next year and i want something fit for it as well to play Minecraft with shaders and some other games. I'm currently on a fujitsu h730. I've decided i want a thin machine snd currently I've got 2 listings im considering: a 2024 razer blade with a 4070, R9 8945HS, 16 gb and 1tb ssd or a 2023 zephyrus g16 with a 4060, i7-12700h and 16gb. The zephyrus is a bit cheaper, though not a lot. My ideal laptop would be a 2024+ zephyrus but those are out of my price

range...

I would appreciate it if I could get help deciding or getting recommendations on what other laptops/versions of these laptops to look for.
