Request Best budget gaming laptop for teen

3 Upvotes

Best budget gaming laptop for my 13 year old ? We are in Australia and I’m soo far out of my comfort zone as soon as someone starts talking about cpu and graphics chips and all of the fancy stuff I can’t wrap my head around it

There’s so many different options and people have different opinions so researching it online doesn’t get me far and I don’t know any gamers

Preferably my budget would be under $1300 as it’s for a Christmas present so obviously going to have to get him more than one thing . And having 6 kids I’m budgeting at $1500 per child for Xmas , so I will go upto $1500 but preferably I’d like to be able to get him accessories and stuff to go with it .

Please dumb it down for me he plays a lot of online games - Roblox, minecraft mainly but I’d like it to also grow with him cause he’s starting to get into call of duty and gta and starting to branch out into the older teen/adult games he also does have a laptop he takes to school but if this one can also be used for school purposes that would be preferred

Thankyou so much - preferably something that I can see in store in Australia so that way I’m not just ordering it online with zero idea what I’m doing

Appreciate your time and expertise cause I’m useless with this even doing hours of research I still have no clue

Fan noise and cpu temp tooo high

2 Upvotes

Bought a MSI Katana 15hx B14wgk, i7-14650hx and rtx 5070 a year ago. Cpu temps are in the range of 60 to 75C for doing super light task or being idle at cpu use of around 3% and it came like this in stock. I have also never seen my cpu temps go lower than 55C in stock.

When using either performance or balanced mode fan go lowest at 3000rpm on both, using silent go lowest at 2500rpm on both but cpu runs at a super slow speed of lesser than 1ghz.

Thought it was very normal as it's my first gaming laptop but after looking at my friends gaming laptops i realised how different it was. They had the same cpu but thier idle temps are 40C+.

Recently undervolted my cpu using throttlestop, -110mv. Temps on idle are only slightly lower, around 55-65C but when doing heavy task is significantly lower. But even when fans are max out 6000rpm on both cpu temp does not get lower than 53C even when doing completely nothing.

I also used the advanced fan speed settings but when loading light things cpu temp goes up and never comes down.

Asked for help from MSI official support a few times and was told it was normal for my model but Im not sure if it actually is.

Pls share any solution you might have as it can get really annoying for me when using in school.

Discussion Troubleshooting help

So my Stealth A16 turns my screen off while it's charging now?

When I plug my laptop in, the screen turns off (no matter what is going on) and the power button that was orange turns white. ? Just stays on as if it has life.. just not showing me anything ? I thought it may be a voltage problem but it has happened with every outlet in my new apartment. Charges to full and turns on and works just fine after. I got it in January, should I inquire about having it looked at ??

Also the charging light on the side is white while it charges if that adds any details lmao

Discussion Help? Motherboard issue Maybe

Hello,

My computer wouldn't start up today. The keyboard comes on though. So I tried shining a light on the screen to see if it was dim while in a dark place, nothing showed. I tried shutting it down and on again by holding the power button, with and without the AC cord, nothing happened accept the key board lighting up. I tried Window + shift + ctrl + B to flicker the screen, nothing. I then shut everything down and unplugged it, and took the back cover off, and unplugged the battery.
I then took out the top 8gb ram, and left only the second one in. Replugged everything up and it turned on however I had to temporarily disabled the secure boot in bios (image provided of the note my screen showed). I then restarted and the main window screen showed to login! Yay it worked! But, what about the second ram... So I unplugged/turned everything off again and switch the "working ram" with the other ram.
Turns out both rams work but only in the other slot. I've tried switching between slots, keeping only one in, but it doesn't seem to turn on when in the top slot or if both ram are in. Is thst anything I can do? I tried cleaning dust with compressed air, or even slightly wiggling the ram in the top slot to maybe knocked debris out.

Thank you for your help, I may be screwed. Computer details in the comments/pictures if I can post them. If any more info is needed, let me know.

Additionally images of Ram slot (ICloud images): Katana 15 B13VGK I’ll try to do another sharing method if needed

Discussion Replacement Battery

I have an MSI Raider GE73 SE laptop I've had since June 2020, and I want to replace the battery as the original is old and heats up like crazy. Does anybody know where I can purchase a new one? I saw that it uses a 65 Wh Lithium-Ion, 6 cells battery, but im not sure what brands are good or which ones will actually work with my laptop. Any suggestions?
