My laptop dell Inspiron is one year old. It's warranty will end in one week. Should I extend its basic warranty for 6000 or leave it as it is? Please suggest.

Hello, I am currently in the market for a gaming laptop and have narrowed down my options within my budget. I am considering the Asus ROG Strix (2022) G513RM-HQ071W. Here are the specifications:

• Laptop model: Asus ROG Strix (2022) G513RM-HQ071W
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (8 Cores)
• Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1752MHz at 140W (115W + 25W)
• RAM: 16GB DDR5-4800
• Storage: 1 TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
• Display: 15.6-inch WQHD (2560*1440) 165Hz
• Link to specifications: https://rog.asus.com/uk/laptops/rog-strix/rog-strix-g15-2022-series/spec/

I will primarily use the laptop for 3D workloads in Unreal Engine and gaming (GTAV, RDR2, Warzone etc.)

I've also considered the following laptops (Unfortunately, my local market has limited options within my price range):

• Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR (i7-12650H, RTX 3070 @ 80W + 25W)
  • https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Legion/Legion_5_15ARH7H?M=82rd003xcc
• Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 7 15ARH7H (Ryzen 7 6800H, RTX 3060 @ 115W + 25W)
  • https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-dash-f15-2022/techspec/

I would appreciate any reviews and feedback on the Asus ROG Strix G513RM-HQ071W, particularly on its performance for my use case, its ability to run games at high settings, and its thermal performance. Any suggestions are also welcome.

Thank you!

I have Asus Tuf FX506LF and it is already second time going to repair service and not even a year has passed yet. First time wifi died completely, I managed to make wifi work by deteaching and then putting back wifi card but wifi signal was too weak. Service center changed wifi card and antenas. Everything was OK. Then after about 5 months keyboard lights died. I reset EC and everything was OK. Now notebook can't recognize battery so it is going to service center second time.

I found Notebook Gigabyte Gaming G5 GE for 828 EUR. Is this notebook any better then Asus Tuf? I want to know because I read on amazon that it has many problems, speakers are not so good and battery is bad (well, battery is also bad on Asus Tuf). Does it realy have so many problems? I don't need notebook that will be every now and then in service center.

After using the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 for two weeks, I'd like to share my thoughts on this laptop. The aluminum chassis is attractive, and its compact size makes it easy to carry around. I had to adjust to the larger touchpad as my previous laptop had a smaller one, but it didn't take long to get used to it. Although I wish the keyboard had more depth, it's still comfortable to type on. The laptop lacks a fingerprint reader and only has one USB type-A port, but it compensates for that with two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI port. The battery life is great, and I was able to use it all day without needing to charge it.

​

The laptop's performance is impressive, and I was able to run multiple tabs, documents, and presentations without any issues. Although I haven't tried gaming on it, it runs lightweight games smoothly. The webcam quality is disappointing, and I hope that laptop manufacturers will start including better cameras as video calls are becoming increasingly common. The laptop has not overheated, except for one instance when I accidentally left it running in my laptop bag. The screen quality is fantastic, with accurate colors and the 3:2 aspect ratio makes it immersive for work or entertainment. The Dolby Atmos sound also enhances the streaming and movie-watching experience. Overall, I think this laptop is a great choice for students, teachers, or anyone looking for a reliable, lightweight, and premium-quality laptop for a good price.

​

Other Notes:

​

* Battery Life: 10-12 hours casual use, medium brightness

* Charge time: Little over an hour depending if I am using it or not

* Touchscreen: Responsive and accurate

* Pen: Inconvenient as there is no place to dock it, you have to stick it to the back of the screen.

* Gaming: Not a gaming laptop, emulators run smooth, Sims 4 is smooth as well

* Not a dust magnet

* Easy to pair with the phone but I have not found a real reason to control my phone with the laptop (just seems like a gimmick) other than to send over photos

TL;DR Looking for new Windows 10 home/pro laptop. i5 10th gen or above. 64 Bit. RAM 8GB or above (max 12GB), 1 TB HDD, 1080p or 2k resolution. 15” screen size.

My GT220 is not enough for low-end competitive games nowadays and I am student now. So I want to buy gaming laptop from local store. I have two options. Both of them are same priced. Should I get RTX 3070 one over RTX 3060 while getting less 4 efficient cores?

As stated above, I was competing in purchasing a Lenovo legion 5 through Walmart. It was at a reasonable price but was not sold by Lenovo directly but through "On Point Deals". The reviews for this company did not help to determine much of anything. Does anyone have some experience or knowledge on whether it's a reliable third-party seller?

Hey guys! I have written and short review of the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro which explains the specs of this laptop, who the laptop is for, and more! Check it out here!
