    The laptop from the video on Amazon ---> austin.tech/lenovoz50

    Austin, just so you know, 2800 mAh in a laptop isn't necessarily the same as on a smartphone, since they have differing factors such as voltage.

      Still tho it's about 40Wh which is kinda low even compared to a 12" MacBook.

    • @MrGodwin5050
      @MrGodwin5050 7 лет назад

      Yeah, it's pretty low, though you can't expect too much for the price

  • @bramvandenbempt6914
    @bramvandenbempt6914 7 лет назад +353

    2800mah = 2.8Ah * 11.1V = 31.08 Wh
    vs
    smartphone battery, let's say @5000mah = 5Ah * 3.7V = 18.5Wh.
    the laptop battery has by far more capacity

    • @Jeff-ce3mt
      @Jeff-ce3mt 7 лет назад +32

      This should be top comment. Austin didn't even bother checking himself and most of his viewers probably believed him when he said the phone battery has a larger capacity.

      Hey man, I have a gaming PC in which I play everything I like to. I have a 5-year-old laptop that desperately needs to be replaced. I need it for normal use (university stuff), but since I travel somewhat frequently, I'd also like to game on it (99% of the time League of Legends and Diablo 3). I don't mind playing on low settings, or even lower than 1080p, I really just need a laptop good to game comfortably whenever I can't play on my gaming pc. It has to be a good laptop though, with minimum 8gb of RAM. Can you recommend any? Is this one on the video enough? I think diablo 3 is a pretty demanding game, more than overwatch, and I really dont wanna dip below 60 fps. Thanks

    Wow. Feels like a another rushed video and made with little effort as possible. You should have tested if games are playable in 60fps and not in the first setting that comes up. Your videos are more like first impressions and not more than that. You should talk to people more about if its WORTH TO BUY cheap laptop or save a little bit and get much better performance on a desktop or a bit more expensive laptop. "keyboard is not that bad" "it gets the job done" "its okay" "nothing special". Cmon you are tech enthustiast and we expect more than that.

    0:49 You can't use the same metric to measure laptop batteries as cellphone batteries because laptop batteries output much higher voltage (12 to 15V). Cellphone batteries only outputs around 5V. If you want to compare their capacity, you'll need to use Wh. Wh = Ah * V = mAh * V / 1000.

      You might just be trolling (grammar and punctuation alone hints towards that end...), but in case you are being serious, I'm preeeeety sure he means relatively speaking, in which case he is 100% correct, as flagships phones routinely top 3,000mah @ 3.7v which nets several hours of screen time.
      Versus 2,800mah @ 19v which likely nets around half as much screen time...if that.
      His point is that the battery won't last very long with only 2,800mah @ 19v.
      Of course 2,800mah @ 19v "are much more energy..." than the equivalent rating at less volts (thank you Ohm's Laws), but that's not what he's inferring.

    • @alexmeier3538
      @alexmeier3538 7 лет назад +4

      Geek Therapy Radio he was wrong, which is embarrising. The "power" of batteries is not compared with "mAh-milli-Ampere hours", bit with Wh=Watthours. I actualy know what i am saying. You talking shit with equal comparison because of differen screen sizes...

Using terms like "not bad" "usable and "decent" is fucking dumb. If you're gonna make a video like this, at least put in the time to form proper opinions on something rather than using a bunch of vague, catch all terms like those.

    I have the same PC, but with a dual core i5 and Nvidia 840m. It's over two years old at this point, but it still holds up great as I have swapped out the SSHD with an SSD. Mine has a 1080p screen which is a lot better than a lower resolution panel. The keyboard is nice and the trackpad is smooth and accurate. It looks nice but will attract finger prints and scratches. I wish it had an IPS panel and a backlit keyboard, but I'm very happy with my purchase, and hopefully, it will last for a few more years. I use mine for gaming (CSGO, Euro Truck, etc) and video/photo editing in Photoshop and Premiere.

    To answer your question, probably not for myself. I think that would make an excellent first laptop for a kid though. Especially at that price range. The fact that it'll play games at reasonable framerates is just the icing on the cake. The point being that if it does get broken, we as parents, won't be out that much money as compared to one of the new Razer or MSI offerings. For that purpose I think it's totally worth it. Personally I have an older MSI GT70 which still works fine. It may only be 1080p but it will absolutely handle SkyrimSE with all settings maxed an still stay above 45fps which in my opinion is totally playable. Thanks for sharing this. I'm actually seriously thinking of getting one for my son now.

    @Penguin-qp2wk 7 лет назад

    Actually this laptop makes a lot of sense, because it can run old games really well. For example, the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn't that demanding, but if you had it on disk, you can't really run it on most modern PCs. But, with this laptop you can play old games, including any disk games you have, at high settings on the go. Also, all the extra ports make this a perfect modern laptop designed to be compatible with older systems. Once this thing goes down a little more in price, I'd be tempted to buy it or a laptop with a similar design.

I grew up with a computer that played most games at 7-15 FPS so I'm used to it lol.

    One thing you should know about the feature of it. You can activate the dual graphics technology on the panel of AMD catalyst control center once you activated it you'll recognize some improvements on the fps. Note that some games doesn't support the feature. I've recognize some improvements on the performance. Ex: (Witcher 3 from 15fps to 20-25 on low quality)
    My Specs:
    - AMD A10 7300 Radeon r6 4C+6GPU
    - Radeon R6 M255dx 2G
    - 8GB Ram
