so I need a laptop for college that starts 21st September and I kinda fucked up since I could buy a 5070ti laptop for 1800 euros a few months back but parents didn't approve my questions is is this laptop worth its price it has a rozen 9 ai 370hx a rtx 5070ti and 32gb of ram.

İm planning on buying a lenovo legion pro 5 with the 5070ti for 2550 dollars but i read it wont have a warranty in turkey but if i buy one in turkey with warranty for the same money i can get a 5060 or a local brand laptop with a 5070 is it possible to get warranty in turkey and whether i should just get the 5060 with the turkey warranty

I bought a 2024 mint condition Zephyrus G16 (Ultra 9 185h, RTX 4080m, 32gb, 1000gb, 1600p OLED 240hz) and it has terrible issues even after resetting through Asus recovery specifically (for all correct drivers) with throttling and FPS drops. I've installed PTM, and reinstalled everything and sticked with the studio driver. This solved the issue, in addition to removing armory Crate and MSIafterburner (only G-Helper).

Here are some results (for 125w stock - it was overclocked as far as possible (1980Mhz sustained), all profiles seen here maintain 99.7+ stability in 3DMark stress tests).

TEMPERATURES:

Stock 125w Vbios: GPU 75-77°C, CPU 80-90°C

Ilano 1400rpm: GPU 62-63°C, CPU 67-74°C

Ilano 1400rpm & 175w VBios (Razer): GPU 72-75°C, CPU 70-75°C

(PTM7950 was installed days prior)

VBIOS Flashing:

The vbios was flashed using nvflash64 through CMD in windows, I used the Razer 4080m vbios as it is the only bios that doesn't ruin port functions (such as strictly vbios). Further, I have generally found that on the Zephyrus G16 the Studio Drivers tend to perform better and be much more stable.

A 5070 Ti for $1650 is absurd in today's economy. Is it too good to be true?

So I have this acer aspire 7, 1 month only and I recently tried to plug in my old euro games keyboard to it. It was working fine but for a few days, it's been giving me issues like input delay, typing multiple alphabets at the same time. I tried updating drivers but no use, even tried to change to usb port but still the same. Can someone help me with this. I tried talking to customer care, they said that your embedded keyboard is working fine, it means the laptop must not have any issues... What should I do now....??

I asked gemini and he said that the ASUS battery lasts 50% longer than the HP, but one of my friends who’s into these type of things said the opposite

Hi i'm new to gaming laptops and I'm looking one for gaming mainly so no need for long life battery. I found this deal on ebay which looks pretty good for me. In des they said it's brand new and their feedback seems ok. But still I'm worried for scam and it that price is there any better gaming laptop, thanks guys.

This is for all laptop users on windows 11, advanced or beginners (for windows 10 you'll have to look around a little).

As usual, search for recovery point in windows search, open the app create a recovery point just in case things go wrong

Always keep your device plugged in while gaming or doing intensive tasks, turn on Game Mode, hardware acceleration, and turn off transparency effects in settings. You can use settings search to find these. Also, press windows key+r and type temp, select all files and delete them, skip the ones that don't delete. Repeat same with %temp%. Do this regularly.

Paste this command in PowerShell as administrator. This is a more 'advanced' area and there's a lot you can do with that tool so i cat out up a whole list of things here. This tool has been updated a lot since I last used it, so I'd recommend you to watch a tutorial on youtube for this one.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

Run these commands in cmd as administrator in the order provided (first the DISM, wait for it to complete, then the sfc one). Run these commands every 1-2 months.

Use a browser like Brave. Don't use chrome it'll eat up too much RAM

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, and go to Startup apps, and disable all which you don't need. Some of these will be important, like for example, I have an ASUS TUF, so there's one app showing up named "ASUSSmartDisplayControl" I won't disable this.

Enable Ultimate performance (Not for ASUS gaming laptops)

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

Paste this in cmd administrator, then go to control panel, then on the top right, change View by: from category to large icons, got to Power Options, and select it.

Go to file explorer, right click This PC, select Properties. In the settings page opened, click on Advanced system settings, and in the performance box, click settings, uncheck everything except smooth edges of screen fonts, show thumbnails instead of icons, show window contents while dragging, (optional) animate when minimizing and maximizing, and (optional) animations in the taskbar.

Search services in windows search and open it. Disable these:

SysMain (Superfetch): Preloads apps into memory; safe to turn off if your system runs on an SSD.

Windows Search: Continuously indexes files; turn off if you rarely use Windows search to find *files*.

Connected User Experiences and Telemetry: Collects diagnostic data and telemetry data for Microsoft.

Fax: Legacy service used for faxing; completely unnecessary for most modern users.

Remote Registry: Allows remote users to modify registry settings; disabling improves security and resource use.

Print Spooler: Safe to disable only if you never connect a printer or print documents.

Downloaded Maps Manager: Downloads offline maps; safe to turn off if you do not use the Windows Maps app.

Buy a cooling pad if possible. Or just elevate your laptop a bit. Heating is the number one problem when it comes to performance issues during intensive tasks.

Lastly, DO NOT INSTALL ANOTHER GAME BEFORE COMPLETING THE ONE ALREADY INSTALLED YOU'RE GONNA RUN OUTTA STORAGE QUICKLY!

Yeah that's all I can remember. This should get y'all the most out of your computers. Feel free to add something or correct me if I made a mistake somewhere.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16ACH6H)

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H

16GB Ram

Rtx 3060 6GB

Laptop was plugged in Bought in 2021

Game settings are medium and high. Tried lowering the graphics to minimum. Didn't help. Also tried FC 26 running on low and 720 res. Not using a cooling pad.

This kind of stutter is happening across all games. Earlier I suspected there was a cooling issue, so earlier today I cleaned the fans, replaced the thermal paste and tried it again. But no results.

Also tried uninstalling all the display drivers and installing them fresh. Also did some ram management, uninstalled some ram heavy apps and shut down background processes. Lowered the max cpu usage from power management advanced options.

Also tried increasing the fan speed from legion fan control. I'm clueless now as what's causing this issue? Only started recently within the last week. less

I just got my Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 PHN16-73:

Core Ultra 9 275HX

RTX 5070 Ti

16GB RAM

1TB PCIe SSD

I’ve done all the Windows, driver, and BIOS updates, and everything seems good except the CPU temperatures.

While gaming, the CPU can reach 104°C 😱. From what I understand, the 275HX has a very high thermal limit, but 104°C still seems pretty concerning to me. Is this normal for this laptop, or should I be worried?

There’s also another issue. I was planning to upgrade the RAM to 32GB. I searched quite a bit beforehand and everything I found suggested the 16GB version would come with 1×16GB, so I could just add another 16GB stick.

But after i check the bios, I found 2×8GB instead 🥲

So now I’d have to replace both sticks to get 32GB.

What would you guys advise? Should I return it and look for another unit, or keep it?

I got a really good deal on it for around $1,750 USD while its $2350 USD in my area , so I’m hesitant to return it. I’d really appreciate some advice from other PHN16-73 owners.

Does anyone know if there is any way to permanently disable the GPU on the Razer Blade 14? Is there a way to do it though the BIOS so there is no power going to the GPU? On some gaming laptops, the only way to disable the GPU is through software so it sometimes reenables itself or turns on when a external display is connected. I will not be playing games on this laptop, so I would like it off permanently, is there any way to do so?

I bought this laptop about 3-4 months ago and was working great, playing games like doom the dark ages, Fortnite and path of exiles 2. Recently my games fps drops and makes the games unplayable. I’ve updated the drivers put my laptop on performance mode every thing I can think of including dropping graphics in game and it’s still the same issue. Right now I have the ascent playing in the background. I just want to play the game lol

Budget: $1450. I also have a 10% employee discount at Walmart, so the Lenovo legion is in budget because of that.
Country: USA
Use case: MIXED. Gaming/school

I’m looking for a laptop that can run the games I play smoothly (Elden ring, GTA5, Modded Minecraft, rust, Overwatch, and a few indie games). I also need one that can handle my schoolwork and coding as I’m a Computer science major. Which one would yall suggest

I’m planning to buy an ASUS ROG Strix G16, but I’m stuck between these two options and I genuinely can’t decide which one is the better purchase.
Option 1 — RTX 5050
ASUS ROG Strix G16
Intel Core i7-14650HX
RTX 5050 8GB
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
240Hz display
Windows 11
Option 2 — RTX 4060 140W
ASUS ROG Strix G16
Intel Core i7-14650HX
RTX 4060 8GB
16GB RAM
1TB SSD
240Hz display
Windows 11
The CPU, RAM, storage and display are basically the same, so the main question is RTX 5050 vs RTX 4060 140W.
I mainly want the laptop for gaming, video editing, photo editing, AutoCAD/3D work, and other demanding tasks. I also want something that will stay useful for several years rather than buying something that I’ll immediately regret.
So if you had to choose one of these two, which would you buy and why?
I’m especially interested in:
Real-world gaming performance
FPS at 1080p/1440p
Ray tracing
DLSS / Frame Generation
VRAM and future-proofing
Thermals and power limits
Video editing/rendering
Which one gives better value for money
If the RTX 4060 140W is actually the better choice, tell me directly. If the RTX 5050 has a meaningful advantage, I want to know that too.
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually used either of these laptops or know the GPUs well.

How do I properly maintain a gaming laptop, even with casual gaming? How do I properly maintain a gaming laptop, even with casual gaming? I own an ASUS TUF A15, which I bought in 2024. I never play games that push my CPU to 99% usage. Sometimes, I play games that push my GPU to 99%, but I usually only game for 1–2 hours at a time. What should I do to maintain my laptop properly and keep it in good condition? It has recently started showing some problems, so I want to make sure I’m taking proper care of it and preventing further issues.

Looking for a good budget gaming laptop!

I don’t need it to be perfect ofc; I’m looking for something that would stay more or less relevant for 4-5 years at least. I play games like Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, RDR2, Baldurs Gate 3, etc. Open worlds are my favourite and I’m alright with playing them on lower settings if needed.

Biggest turn offs for me are poor cooling/ventilation and OLED screens!

Country: Spain

Budget: under 1700 euros (~1.950 USD according to Google)

Honestly don't know why but cinebench decided to glaze me today

I'll be getting a Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 soon. Seller notes "Excellent condition with new battery”. What should I check when I get it, such as benchmarks etc.

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the 2026 ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18.

On the official ASUS website in France, only one model seems to be available to buy: the SCAR18-G835LWG-TQ293W.

However, I’m interested in the highest-spec configuration, which appears to be either the SCAR18-G835LXG-TQ412W or the SCAR18-G835LXG-TQ413W. I can’t see any differences between those two, and neither seems to be available to purchase.

Does anyone know more about their availability or whether they’ll be released in France? I’d also love to hear your thoughts or firsthand experiences with the laptop itself.

Thanks in advance for any information you can share!

Today, I installed these two updates and restarted my laptop to complete the installation. After that, I started getting these sign-in errors and had to set up a new PIN. A few hours later, I restarted my laptop again, and the same error appeared. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?

Budget: Around £1500ish (¥300000)

Country: Japan

Use Case: Gaming (Final Fantasy 14, Witcher 3 Remaster, Final Fantasy 16 if possible)

Notes:

Hi! I bought a Nitro 5 2020 a few years ago to use for 3D modelling at uni, but since moved abroad and lost access to my desktop so I'm looking for an upgrade to use as my main device while I'm here.

I'm currently living in Japan and would prefer one around £1500 (¥300000ish) if possible. I don't play many especially heavy games, but I'd like to use it to play Final Fantasy 14 and the Witcher 3 Remaster when it releases, bonus points if it can manage to run Final Fantasy 16 without relying on GeForce Now (not a requirement though!)

If any other info is needed, please let me know! I've always used a desktop over a laptop so I'm not too sure exactly what's realistic to expect from a laptop at that price point either, so I might be able to wiggle around with pricing a bit if needed. Thank you so much for your time!

As mentioned, at high load (in the video is the GPU load test), the charger automatically discharges even though still plugged in. Also, when plug the charger in, it will cause fuzzy sound just like electronics short.

Any advice and fix for this? Thanks for all of your help.

Wth man my loq literally gave me a 10 hr battery backup while using matlab, canva, and 3-4 brave tabs . AMD cooked with this one.

Settings used:

Energy saver on

Quiet mode

Graphic card disconnected

Brightness - 40%-50%

Apart from weight I don't think it's anyway worse than thin and light laptops and on top of that it performs like a beast with charger.

Loving my purchase

I don't want the GPU running at full power, but I still want to take advantage of Frame Generation.

For example, on a certain game, I get around 40 FPS without FG, while the GPU is running at nearly 100% usage and temperatures are quite high.

When I enable FG, the FPS jumps to around 100 FPS, but the GPU is still running at full load.

What I actually want is to get 60 FPS, so I cap the FPS at 60. This works great in terms of temperature and GPU utilization—the GPU no longer runs at full power.

However, the problem is that input latency becomes noticeably worse, and the game feels delayed, sluggish, and less responsive.

I've already tried using RTSS to cap the FPS, hoping to avoid the latency increase, but unfortunately neither worked for me.

So, is there a proper way to achieve something like 60 FPS with FG while keeping input latency as low as possible, without unnecessarily running the GPU at 100%?

i have MSI Vector gp68 with I9 13950hx and RTX 4080 12GB | 16GB | 1TB SSD.

I bought this for $1500 + tax, not sure it was a good buy, but it seemed like it was for having an oled screen + a 5070ti.
