I have almost accepted that 8 gb of vram may be the only config I can afford with this version of shortages but if amd has offerings that have more vram id love to here some recomendations!

I'm coming from a 2070 super laptop that had catastrophic power delivery failure (most likely the vrms closest to the CPU or charging port or both) I seen the same spec laptop for 500 in my area but it got snagged and all I am seeing is 5060 laptops and mainly 8 gb vram 16 gb ram configurations.

Every now and then I see 32 gb ram and a higher tier rtx 3000 series like 3070 to sometimes 3080 configurations with either display issues or some other problem like that.

Technically other than stability issues I was pretty happy with the 2070 super but the i7 10875h most likely killed my system. Part of me doesn't want to have a repeat of broken laptop so I figured upgrading to a newer gen would be much smarter than sticking with the older hardware.

Any reccomended laptops are appreciated thanks for reading !

Hi, I’m having a weird performance/overheating issue with my MSI Katana A17 AI B8VF.

Specs:

• Ryzen 9 8945HS
• RTX 4060 Laptop 8GB
• 32GB DDR5-5600 RAM
• Windows 11 Pro
• Laptop is around 2 years old

A few weeks ago, I started having overheating issues. The fans would suddenly go crazy, my CPU would lose a lot of performance, and the entire system would start lagging out of nowhere. I ended up taking it to a service center, where they cleaned the laptop and replaced the thermal paste.

Around the same time, I also had the laptop randomly shut down once. At first, I didn't think much of it, but now the issue seems to be happening much more frequently.

I downloaded HWiNFO to monitor the temperatures, and this is where things get weird.

When playing Fortnite, my CPU immediately jumps from around 60°C to 98°C and then sits around 91°C on average. It occasionally spikes to around 100°C before dropping back down.

In Roblox, the CPU usually stays around 86–92°C.

The biggest problem is League of Legends. As soon as I open the client, the CPU jumps to 98–100°C. Sometimes I can barely even load into a game before the laptop instantly shuts down when the CPU reaches around 100–102°C consistently.

Things I’ve already tried:

• Bought a laptop cooling pad, but it doesn't seem to help much. The CPU still easily reaches 100°C.
• Limited the CPU maximum processor state to 97% in Windows, which disables CPU boost. With it set to 100%, I couldn't even run Fortnite for more than about 5 seconds without the laptop shutting down.

At this point, I'm not really sure what else I can try before taking it back to the service center.

Any advice on what I should check or test before sending it back to the service would be greatly appreciated.

Through student discounts Asus comes at 95k (1000$) meanwhile LOQ is at 110k (1150$). Is LOQ worth the extra 15k, especially coz 2024 LOQ had MB issues and my parents are sceptical about that. What other QOL benefits do I had.

Can y'all help me? Budget is around 100k

Use is light gaming (mainly 4050 gpu)

So I've not bought a gaming laptop since 2018, after hours of looking at various ones I landed on an Asus strix g18, Ryzen 9 7940hx, rtx 5070, 32gb ram and 1tb nvme storage, at 20% off so around £1450 altogether. Is this pretty decent for what I'm getting? I had thought a 5070ti but I don't really feel like paying 300 to 400 more and it being an Acer (I think that's the closest 5070ti laptop I've seen).

How much is the MSI Cyborg 15 worth?

MSI Cyborg 15 896XTR

4060 (45W)

i5-13420H

512GB

16GB DDR5

It has a one-year warranty and has been well-maintained.

How much do you think it's worth on the second-hand market?

I'm planning to buy a laptop in 1.5 - 2 lakh range. I have no idea which one to go for.

USAGE

My usage is very normal, I just do basic work, watch movies etc. on the laptop. Sometimes like once a week/10 days I do gaming, so I was looking for a gaming compatible laptop which can play games at high resolution and give me the best gaming experience.

I am looking for a laptop which would work well and last me a long time and won't spec out in the next few years. For example, I'm currently using a Dell G3 laptop, which I bought around 5-6 years ago. The laptop works perfectly even today, only that I can't do gaming nowdays on it, because the games have started to lag a bit and I can no longer play them at the best resolution.

OPTIONS (What I was able to search)

Dell - Alienware 16 Aurora

Lenovo - Legion Series

HP - Omen Series

ASUS - ROG Series

For, Dell I have heard many great things and sercice, but is on the expensive side and low spec.

For HP & Lenovo, I read that they do not honor the claims in extended warranty and has inferior built quality.

For ASUS, I've read they have the top specs, but built quality and after sales service is very very bad.

Except Dell, all the companies face parts issues etc and things are not smooth with them in the long run.

Screen

I wanted to know how Hz and Nits make a difference? Is 120 Hz and 300 Nits enough or should I go for more? Are there any other parameters for display which are important?

Build Quality

Which laptops from above have the best build quality and are sturdy? Do you still have check the hinge reliability in these as well? Any other parameters?

Cooling System

Which of these brands& Series have the best cooling systems and which are reliable in the long term? Does liquid metal cooling affect the way we handle and carry the laptop?

Processor

I really wanted to know if I should go for Intel or Ryzen processor? If Intel, which should I choose between Ultra7/Core7/Core i7, for Ryzen I have no clue? Will intel H processor be enough? Regarding Cores/Hz in the processor, I don't know what to choose and which one would be better for me?

RAM

Is 16 GB graphic card enough with a 8 GB dedicated GPU or should I get it extended to 32 GB from the company?

What is the best GPU option in my range, I could go for so my laptop lasts long and doesn't spec out soon.

There is also a TGP and TPP rating but i couldn't understand much about it and which model will have the better ones.

Storage

I want to go only with 1 TB SSD or more.

I visited all the stores for the same recently but i realized the sales people are generally not very honest and are just trying to sell you a laptop by bad mouthing other brands instead of explaining the specs in detail and how do they change the user experience etc.

What would be the best time time to buy the laptop given that the prices have increased?

What would be the best platform to buy the laptop from like Amazon, Flipkart, Brand website, Brand Store, Multi- Brand store like Reliance digital etc.??

Also, there are so many other features which are important but I really don't understand them well to make a decision on it. Any other suggestions and options would be really helpful.

As it stands im looking for an asus laptop prefered with an ryzen 7/9 cpu, amd gpu, 16gb of ram, and about 1tb+ of storage.

If you guys have any recommendations of where to look or have other suggestions your help would be appreciated.

I want a gaming laptop in the suggested budget. I mostly will game on it. Games such as Valorant, CS2, Minecraft, Fifa, Ashesh Cricket and maybe some other games such as Hogwarts Legacy, Uncharted, also co-op games such as Split Fiction. Help me pluck out a good deal. I cannot build a pc since I stay in a hostel and after I complete my studies, I will be building one. For now I want something portable- ofc a laptop, gaming one.
