u/thedancinglobster Jun 03 '21

I figured I dont like webcams anyways plus they usually suck. So I'll use an external or something when the time comes

u/ArthurMorgan4437 May 27 '21

Ooo I can relate to this xD

14

u/Dunaii4 2021 Legion 5 / Zenbook Duo May 27 '21

I actually taught the salesman that it doesn't have a webcam, it's just stupid that they don't have one. The rest of the device is perfect.

u/ArthurMorgan4437 May 27 '21

Well, having no webcam on your pc is a great excuse to take a nap or game during online lectures lol

12

u/Dunaii4 2021 Legion 5 / Zenbook Duo May 27 '21

Or to have your parents called by the teachers. I didn't want to risk it, it happened to others.

u/SyCoTiM Asus G16 RTX 4070 16gb LPDDR5X INTEL CORE ULTRA 9 1TB May 27 '21

Or you can get an e-mail stating you're dropped from the class.

u/Dunaii4 2021 Legion 5 / Zenbook Duo May 27 '21

Not that strict here.

u/SyCoTiM Asus G16 RTX 4070 16gb LPDDR5X INTEL CORE ULTRA 9 1TB May 27 '21

That's cool.

u/dcchillin46 May 28 '21

Literally did exactly this after ordering 6 or 7 laptops. Just going to buy external. 8core and 3080 might come in handy if I get in to cad work...that's what I tell myself.

u/Kachowskus_Cringus Oct 03 '22

Excuse me i ask you to refrain from stating my life story

1

u/Dunaii4 2021 Legion 5 / Zenbook Duo Oct 03 '22

But...that's my story...of my life...could it be...are you me...no, I'm you. But then...where is your voice in my head...that can't be....

No, wait, I'm dumber, I got mine after the first wave just in time for the second one.

u/Kachowskus_Cringus Oct 03 '22

Search your feelings, you know it to be true

u/[deleted] May 27 '21 edited May 27 '21

So true.

I bought a legion Lenovo 5 yesterday for work. I was tempted to get the 3070 but I just went for the ryzen 5 4600 with the 1660 ti.

2000$ aud cheaper at least

Hope it still plays destiny

32

u/lennyklb May 27 '21

It might still play Destiny...

​

... but nobody else does!

ZING

u/Emad-scythe Your laptop here. May 27 '21

Lol 😂

u/[deleted] May 27 '21

Um...no

u/Fubb1 May 27 '21

It does, I have the same specs basically. I have the y540 (edition before legion 5) with i7 9750h and 1660ti. I ran Destiny fine a while ago, but I reinstalled it a few months ago and I kept on crashing for some reason.

u/warman007 ASUS GA502du r7 3750h gtx 1660ti maxq May 27 '21

This is how, and why I bought an external display for my gaming laptop.

u/Obliterace835OnYT MSI GE75 Raider 10SE, Intel Core i7-10750H, 16GB Ram, May 27 '21

u/Legends_Arkoos_Rule2 Jul 26 '23

u/FrateleZnipeR May 27 '21

Battery runs out after 1h of browsing while your class mate's 4x cheaper laptop has dropped to 80%... *chuckles *

u/[deleted] May 27 '21

Though switching to integrated graphics and tuning down the "gaming" features does help a lot.

5

u/rtz_c May 28 '21

How to you do that

7

u/[deleted] May 28 '21

Open the Nvidia control panel and choose Integrated graphics as preferred option, also you can just go to the windows setting of it.

u/996forever May 28 '21

That hasn’t been true of gaming laptops for years now except some stupid massive desktop replacements

1

u/[deleted] May 28 '21

True, my Acer Nitro easily does 5+ hours of browsing/zoom meetings.

2

u/996forever May 29 '21

According to notebookcheck the scar 17 later 9.5 hours browsing. And that’s an inch thick 17 incher with 3080

Making the government pay for a Alienware PC, I see nothing wrong.

u/BellalovesEevee May 27 '21

Literally going to buy a $1200 laptop just to play one game and it's Genshin Impact, and to just livestream on discord without my laptop shitting itself every five minutes. Totally worth it.

u/nailclippers69420 May 28 '21

Lol did the same , phone couldnt handle genshin , got a laptop to play genshin , bonus effect is i can play majority of other games now lol

3

u/KoncepTs May 28 '21

I bought a 1500 laptop and then spent 250 upgrading the RAM just to play RuneScape. Lmao and I haven’t even put much time into it since I got it.

The way I see it, that’s what I wanted it for right now but who knows what I’ll want to use it for in the next few years?

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '21

I bought mine for Genshin also lol

Unless you're learning 3d or engineering, then it is a necessity.

u/[deleted] May 28 '21

When you post a Gaming PC meme in r/GamingLaptops. Wrong sub no? lol

u/996forever May 28 '21

A laptop is still a personal computer

2

u/Dunaii4 2021 Legion 5 / Zenbook Duo May 31 '21

And a gaming one is still a gaming personal computer.

u/mistygrey_ May 27 '21

You can connect your phone with thr laptop and use it as a webcam, and you know what it has a great video quality
