Oh and check MSI GP68 prices here: geni.us/gp68 it actually went down another $100 since making this video.
The Control 4K results at 16:11 are here, I accidentally showed the Cyberpunk graph again: jarrods.tech/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/difference-control-4k.png
Update November 2023: It looks like the BIOS from October 31st E15M1IMS.30A might fix the fan noise bug we reported with the comment "Fixed the fan noise when applying Balanced and Silent mode in the User Scenario setting". Unfortunately we do not have the GP68 anymore to confirm this.

Honestly if the main issue is the screen I could see this being good for someone who wants one device to do work on the go and also game at home while connected to a 1440p monitor.
yup
Just bought this and that's exactly what I intend to do
another issue is the fans always being on max during gaming regardless of cpu and gpu temperatures
I mean in that case, why not spend a little more to get a Legion or Scar?
@@kiyoponnn then you wont have to worry about a bricked laptop due to being overheated. When you're gaming and the laptop is not always on max then you're playing roblox or minecraft. Most games will use graphic card on the laptop and more likely than not the graphics card will use between 120 and 150 watts depending on the laptop. For comparison, your laptop watt brick is rated for 200-250 watt. This means the graphics card itself is pushing the laptop to the limit. If your graphics card is throttling the fan then kiss the laptop goodbye in 2-3 years of abuse. Its planned obsolence from the manufacturer.
I bought this laptop model in Japan but mine has a 2560x1600 resolution. Ive been having a good time with it especially upgrading from a RTX 2060 laptop.
The 17 inch version?
@@marianadm4320 No I have the 16 inch.
@@marianadm4320 probably 18. Most "even number" inches are 16:10 aspect ratio (such as 2560x1600), and "odd number" inch monitors are 16:9.
@@marianadm4320nah, the asian version all have 1600p screen, the Chinese version in specific even got upgrated to 13700
Exactly what I'm about to do
Jarrod I can't believe the timing. I was going to buy this exact same laptop and have been searching proper RUclips review for last 2 days.
I just bought mine and paired it with a Alienware AW2724DM QHD monitor and couldn't be happier. The only downsides are really the screen, which in fact is very cheap and not even supports HDR, and the 16 Gb of RAM which is not ideal to take the most advantage of the I9 processor. So I've also upgraded the RAM memory to 32 Gb and now my notebook is a beast! The webcam is also bad and have a weird shadowing around the bottom corners, which in my case look worse than what it is showed on the video.
Performance wise, I have nothing to complain about, this laptop delivers in every game I've played so far and have been also great for photoshop and multitasking.
The keyboard and audio drivers provided by Steelseries are amazing and offers tons of customization options. The audio quality is also incredibly good.
PS.: It is incredibly hard to open this laptop, on top of that there is a case covering the RAM slots, which are also hard to open because you need to carefully bend back some metal pieces around it.
Now the review comes out. I bought this a couple weeks back, somewhat out of frustration as the alternative options I considered never seemed to come back in stock. This appeared to be a good deal regards specs and right on the edge of my budget.
So far I have to say I’m pretty happy with it, I’m no hardcore gamer so I don’t really notice the whole issue with the screen resolution, it does what I need it to. If need be I’ll buy a monitor for it in time. It effortlessly plays games on ultra settings. The only real issue I have with it are the fans, they’re like jet engines but the computer stays cool and when playing with the headset I don’t hear them so it’s something easily remedied.
Only time will tell if my thoughts on this laptop will change but for now it seems like a good deal for someone like me. A casual gamer who occasionally works away from home and wants something decent to bring along for the evening downtime.
Its now available with the i9-13980HX for £1899 (MSI Vector GP68 HX 13V) and has an advertised 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut on a 144hz 1080p panel. I have recently purchased the TUF A15 Ryzen 9 7940HS and RTX 4070 for £1,200 (an offer at the time) - I immediately upgraded the ram to 32GB and added a 4TB WB Black for editing - it works very well (there's a review of it on this channel) but I feel I may have missed the true bargain with 4080 13950HX MSI. The M.2 drive and additional 32GB kit has made the TUF a £1,500 unit. It is still a very good deal but the intel CPU and RTX 4080 would be masterful for editing, especially the i9 with Quick Sync. I'm on the cusp of buying the MSI in the hopes I'll be able sell the TUFF for £1,400 as it's price is £1300 during black Friday and will likely go up again.
even then the msi not worth it
Great to know it’s okay to dock the laptop with the lid closed. Love the amount of detail your videos cover! One question though before I go ahead and do it, I’ve read people saying closing the lid could put the screen too close to heat and cause damage… would you say that’s something to worry about?
Not that I know of. I haven't heard of anyone experiencing issues like that.
I got it two days ago. Balanced fan mode works fine in my unit although temps are higher in balanced mode (both GPU an CPU in 80s range) so some undervolting is needed for quieter fans. Build quality is phenomenal. No cost cuts there. Performance is ridiculous. My MSI GP75 RTX 2070 is pulling 60fps in Witcher 3 on uber setting in Novigrad. This one does 180fps. As Jarrod said the weakest point is display. Comparing to my GP75 colors are noticably muter. While greens and blues aren't as vibrant they're ok. The worst are reds which are either orange or brownish but for this laptop you want external display anyway.
try a game that came out recently
I bought the same laptop, did you undervolt through BIOS or something else, and did it help a lot?
I was really looking for to buy this laptop, and ur review came just in time ❤
Your video contributed to me purchasing one. Thanks
Love your content!
Will you be reviewing the hp omen 17 for this year? I decided to buy an rtx 4080 laptop and the omen seemed much more affordable than other options
Very nice. I just got this a couple weeks ago. I use an external monitor when I need. The fan IS bugged though. Do you have any info on how to go about fixing this?
hey @Jarrod'sTech even have a question, I'm really unsure which laptop I should get. the MSI vector GP68HX or the MSI Raider GE68HX, which one do you recommend?
Even has Thunderbolt 4 and a built in audio DAC...very nice. Considering what you get like forward thinking 2.5Gb Ethernet port and thunderbolt 4 for nice creator type monitors and the extra video memory with the 4080 I can live with the older cpu and 4800mhz max speed memory which is probably cheaper anyway if you want to max it out with 64gigs which probably would net you 13th gen performance with 16gigs. I'll be looking at this an the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The FullHD screen makes sense for someone like me who has a laptop solely as desktop replacement connected to an external monitor. It's a waste of money to get the better screen.
Not everybody buys laptops to use them on the go and their monitors as the main one. I like when laptop manufacturers provide options for lower specced monitors.
well done, a really good review. i can see this model flying off the shelves for its awesome 4080 value
The first 4080-class laptop to make me reconsider getting over the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and new Legion Pro 5 AMD/4070 version laptops.
FINALLY U REVIEWED THIS.. every laptop i always wait for u to review it first (bad english sorry)
I enjoy your reviews, I think they’re well structured and covers pretty much everything
Just one request if you can write the weight in Kilograms next to the weight in pounds that would be perfect 🙏🏻
Divide by 2.2 bud.
The scale is in kilograms and you can read it directly
thank you for the video!
I really appreciate the work you do Jarrod!
Coming from a GT60 from 2013 with a GTX780M. Now passes 10 years a anniversary. I have eyes on this one that is the successor.
Thank you for that test because it's well hidden in MSI store France you have hard
Time finding it ! Maybe it was too interesting for the consumer ? I didn't know there was this one ! But "deals" in France is at least 2500€ so still expensive
but the GT 77 is the true sucessor with ease of access and upgrading. but it's at least 1000€ more of this one for same spec. Although better screen with calibrated dolby 1000 nits and excellent color coverage. Cherry mx low profile keyboard and overall better performance
Ended up getting an asus g18, can’t wait to try it out compared to the 3060 and
I5-10400f inside my desktop.
The review I’ve been waiting for
3:22 I do find that the extended case going over the back ports, offers better damage control for the wires being hit and bent and it's better for the ports themselves just my experience. b
What an amazingly deep and useful review! Nice!
Glad you liked it!
I'am looking at getting a 3D scanner and as a result I need to upgrade my old laptop. It seems that most of the Laptops come with 8GB of video ram and anything with more seems to be alot more expensive. Then I came across this laptop, well very similar with some updated specs. The one I have seen is the MSI Vector GP68HX 13VH, which has a 13th gen i9 1380HX, 32GB Ram, 12GB 4080 GPU, 2TB SSD and the 2560x1600 240Hz 16" display.
The good thing about having a high-tier GPU on a low (1080p-ish) resolution screen is that it has high FPS on it's native resolution, even without these modern GPU software features. So this model isn't as bad as it looks, especially since 40 series cards below 4080 have a voltage limit.
I can confirm this as I have been gaming on my Aorus 17H with 4080 and 360Hz 1080p screen 🎉 It's awesome. Just turn up everything to the max and never even worry about it
@@aaz1992
I bet that 360hz is still a bottleneck on your GPU's max FPS.
And yes, you could even set all settings to max/on & it would still run over a hundred FPS. Fu-... @$%&?!!
@@Unknown0YT0 in games like Counter Strike 2, yes. In almost all other cases, it's hard to reach 360fps with max settings lol
1080p screen on a 4080 GPU is absolute donkey tier e-waste.
@SuperFlawless2010 ya but I also enjoy my 4K 120Hz TV and 1440p 240Hz external monitor
Hopefully there's an update on the fan controls I'd hate to have those going all day while working. They need to release an update quick.
The thermals on this are awesome! Pretty good laptop if you're using a good external monitor.
What a strange feeling watching this from my Vector with 1600p screen picked up 3 weeks ago.
😁
Got tempted by the thought of playing Starfield @ 60fps (loudly)along with Cyberpunk , so this became my very 1st gaming pc after owning a Series X and PS5.
The value is great and I´m very satisfied with it.
Only negative might be the weight , this thing is HHEEAAVVYY!!
😂
Jarrod in your opinion what're the best laptops for 1k-1.33k usd? And do you think rtx 4050-4070 gpus still have the Watt/Voltage Problem?
There's no point seeking over 100W on a 4070 or lower
@@ishkaranbrar313 I see
WONDERFUL, I mainly connect to my 1440p monitor, and when travel, just compromise for few days.
I wonder on which power settings you test the LatencyMon results with. I just tried LatencyMon with performance mode on my Legion 5i with 12700H and 3070ti and I got excellent numbers. Once I went to balanced of Silent mode, the results got immediately worse.
GREAT reveiw!
Is an external laptop fan a good idea to further cool down the laptop? People on many different forums either recommend it or are against it.
Could you please make a comparison video (Idle, CPU, GPU, Normal RUclips, Office use): The gaming laptops with best thermals?
Bought the refreshed model MSI vector 17 with i9 13980hx and 4080 performance is top notch and to my surprise the monitor has been also been upgraded to 1080p 100% srgb the only "downside" are the aggressive fans but at the same time the temperatures are amazing especially after undervolting the CPU -120 -100 -100 whilst at the same overclocked the GPU +255 core for a total of 2700-2715mhz and +1000 memory for a total of 10000 memory clock 🎉
Hey ! Can please help me to decide which one should i buy ... msi Delta 15 with 240hz ryzen 7 5800h rx6700m for 800$ or acer nitro 5 144hz ryzen 7 6800h rtx 3070ti for around 967$ or any other under 1000$
Very similar price-to-performance to my Aorus 17H. This one's CPU has more cores but the Aorus has a better screen. Both awesome laptops for the money 🎉
Love your video
Thanks
I , for some reason, thought this was a jayztwocents video by notifications
We both start with J
@@JarrodsTechthumbnail probably
I have one, it's a budget product, great for its price. Very powerful. Using external screen.
Seeing this video makes me more happy with my Msi cyborg 15 a12vf purchase haha.
I went with the 16" Legion pro 5i RTX 4070 laptop for $1009, it was open box excellent at Best Buy and appeared brand new, plastic still on the screen, etc., the difference is $700-$1000 to the 4080 laptops. Runs everything I throw at it on my Ultrawide QHD 34" monitor. For the difference in price, I can just buy a new laptop with the savings in a couple of years if futureproofing was a concern.
I just paid $1599 for the 4080 and open box was $1440. Never settle for less than you're satisfied with. Good choice saving money with open box
Remember with the 4070 you only have 8gb Vram. And that is already becoming a problem.
Plus the 4080 is like 40% faster in most games and 12gb vram will be sufficient for those PS6 NextXbox generation of games
My laptop is the MSI Raider GE76 12UE-with a i9-12900h+16gb DDR5 4800hz Ram+RTX3060....it was on sale at Costco and for 1080p gaming its great...I do regret not getting a laptop with better gpu
Might consider trading in my old MSI for a new one if I can.
Old one still works like a charm, but it'd be cool to try new computers or even brands now and again.
I would actually prefer to have such a screen for lower price, better battery life and gamign performance at native resolution. Unless it's really bad, I'd take it instead of a higher resolution screen. Also Jarrod, I replied to that comment you posted 3 weeks ago, please check it out.
Hellos sorry for bothering but I have a question. I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop, a watched the Lenovo loq 15 and Acer aspire 5 both have rtx4060 8gb VRAM. Which one do you think it's better? Thank you for the answered
I remember opening my friend good ol' ROG with GTX 950, that's just how it is too over there, prying keyboard deck at top.
Some plastic cards (ATM, point card, etc) can do the job too, but yeah Guitar pick seems the easy choice here.
I work from home and have a company laptop, multiple screens and peripherals, I game and photograph a lot as well so a laptop is a great option once I can just connect a thunderbolt cable to my dock.
Also I found this laptop with the 3.2k screen and 13980hx. I’m getting it
How about the 2023 Msi Bravo 17 C7VFK 17.3" (Ryzen 7-7735HS/16GB/DDR5/GeForce RTX 4050) ?
It came out a little while ago this year, and is the one I am thinking about buying.
Any thoughts?
Hey Jarrod, can you review the Acer Nitro 5 3070ti, its on sale here and seems great value but i am worried about its thermals and build.
I'm sure many people would watch that.
Hello Jarrod. Can you make a review of Predator Neo 16 vs Legion 5i Pro 2023?
Also would like to see some eye candy of the machines screens. Some actual gameplay be nice to see how the games look and run, Instead of the graphs.
the wayyyy lower thermals on this make me wanna avoid the i9 versions like the plague 😅
the i9 strix 18 gets 100°, so does the m16 alienware , both paired with a 4080+i9, thats 20° less in your benchmarks for cpu temp. This needs to be talked about more and adressed . please ❤
always appreciate your deep depth review man. I already bought gp68hx with 12900hx 4080 qhd model but I am also curious of Omen 17 4080 model this year.
On ebay the price of 13700hx 4080 Omen 17 is getting lower and lower and it's 1700$ which is like crazy deal considering that it's a premium lineup for HP. And also they often have very good similar deals on HP websites time to time.
Wonder whether they lowered the price because of their underselling numbers or just did not really do a good job on this model or they just want to get rid of the old form factor and refresh with new model for 4070ti something next year.
afaik omen 17 only has one ssd slot so that a big nono from me. unless i am wrong.
@@Giratina143 no man, omen 17 lineup never done that. so as this year they got two slots for m.2 ssd
I bought a gp68 several months ago. In China,you can get a 13700hx +4080 version with a 2560×1600 240hz screen at about 1800 dollars.The screen can reach 500nit and has 100%srgb.really a good mechine
Can u send me the link?
In Germany this thing costs 2299 Euro. We're being so ripped off. 😅
Something, something that included taxes 😂
Hi jarrod, love your content.
Will you be reviewing the Zephyrus G16 any time soon if at all ?
No, probably not. They decided not to send it to us this year and it’s too late in the year for us to justify buying it.
@JarrodsTech I also don't think it's worth buying this year compared to last year's M16 at the low end (because it's literally the same chassis with a spec bump) and the newer M16 at the top end, which has two RAM slots and better cooling, as well as the option for an RTX 4080 or 4090, which will destroy the RTX 4070 which the G16 tops out at, even at lower wattages.
I got my ROG Strix G18 with a 4080 and 13980HX for $2200 about a month ago. Zero issues. Runs like a champ.
Nice!
$2200 you from USA?? Here in Europe, that laptop cost $3000
@@ASS_ault Yeah, we have like $600 VAT=value added to goods and services
I would certainly hope so for that price.
How much ram and storage?
The screen being 1200p is unfortunate since this has a 4080, but i would assume that whoever is interested in this is not gonna bring it outside a lot, so it's gonna be docked and hooked up to an external monitor anyways, and the $400 difference compared to the Legion is gonna be spent on a very nice 1440p gaming monitor
Also to add that the user might not use the laptop for any color accurate work when using its screen like I do with my laptop (still rocking with my dell 15 7577 gaming laptop)
Its not unfortunate or even noticeable, you have 180ish ppi on WQHD 16" and 140ppi on the 1920x1200 16" Display, I bet you if scaled to the same UI size none could tell them apart.
Its absolute bonkers to think you need anything over 140ppi on a laptop.
But the Legion 7 has 16 GB more RAM (32)… I think if the MSI has the same RAM it would be nearly the same and you have a better screen ?
@@wumso-ih1xq Put 188.61 ppi and 141.51 ppi next to each other, you will instantly notice the difference unless you don't want to do so. It's 33% more pixels. Turn on a game and the clarity difference is immense, I've tested this myself.
@@wumso-ih1xq you can easily tell the difference. I don't mind running x1200 on my x1600 if I must, but 1600 is absolutely superior even at 16". I'd prefer an 18" so I'm sure the difference is even more apparent.
Hi Jarrod, I bought a Lenovo Legion 7 slim but I can't get the battery to last what it says in your videos and in most of the reviews, it only gives me 4 hours of battery since in RUclips videos it consumes around 20w When it consumed around 9w for you, do you know what I can do to fix it? I have already downloaded all the drivers from the Lenovo website.
Did you lift the laptop back on the thermal tests without the cooling pad?
Hey Jarrod, is Dell/Alienware sending you the Alienware m18 AMD Advantage laptop announced yesterday?
🤷♀️Hopefully, but I don't know yet.
Hey jarrod love your videos, could you please include Australian prices/shops in the price section of your videos and website?
No. I use USD because it is a currency that most people can convert to their own pretty easily. That isn't the case if AUD is used.
Can you please make a video about Lenovo loq 15 amd version (7840hs+4060)its far better than the intel varient that u reviewed
I have this laptop with the 2560x1600p 240Hz screen and for me it looks a little bit dark but I connect it to a 1080p monitor for CS2 and other competitive games and for me is awesome.
Where did you find a model with these specs?
@@n8dog999 msi hkstore
Make sure to put it on the open bottom stand while gaming. The air intakes on the bottom are completely blocked when it stands on the table and it sounds like a leafblower.
Hey everyone, I’m looking at getting the 2022 version of the zen book pro duo with a 3070ti at Best Buy on sale for $1900. With the two oled screens and with the 3070ti being basically the same as the 4070 is this a good deal?
I am looking for ram and ssd upgrade for my gp68hx and by any chance do you know whether it can take 4tb ssd on each slots?
and also it says its rams are only compatible with 4800mhz ddr5 but one guy on some laptop forum tried 5600mhz ram and it worked(at first the system identified it as 4800mhz and he overclocked it to 5600mhz on bios and even squeezed the timing). plus, on MSI website gp68hx 4090 model comes with 5600mhz 32gb.
Do you think you will be able to review the 2023 RP15 G2 from Eluktronics?
I'm confused between Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 ( 13500hx+4060+qhd 16inch) ans tuf a15 (7940hs+4060+15.6"qhd)
Can you please tell me which one should i go for?
I have heard it has some problems with heat. Is it really the case? and people are changing the thermal paste it comes with because the one it is shipped with is poor. I am choosing between it and the Lenovo V7I PRO 4080. it is a bit more expensive so is it worth the difference? I dont care about monitor quality and the RAM I can upgrade later
So using Balanced Mode with or without cooling pad seems to net really good temps.
hey jarrod, my asus m16 2023 model with a 4080 came with advanced optimus turned off in system information. have you ever seen this before?
Hey Jarrod do review the asus zephyrus duo 16 with the new ryzen processor and lets us know if AMD and Asus have fixed the numerous bugs present.
Walmart has this for $1599 and a onn 1440p monitor for $130 .. friend has the onn monitor looks really good
Firstly you had me nearly choking at 4:17 . I also found this laptop to be literally the most difficult to get inside of any i have ever reviewed. no joke.
the specs are a very strange pairing, but as you found. A 4080 is a 4080. i just suggested a lot of people could even use this as a desktop replacement at the low price
I am likely going to use this to replace my desktop 10900k 5.1 ghz ddr4000 cl16 rx 6900 xt undervolt 254W. Performance almost identical but power draw is halved on the laptop and has dlss 3.5 support. Problem is I gotta sell this 550W under undervolted GPU load desktop
@@johnkeii
Went on newegg to test the power requirement of the desktop you mentioned. It require 800-899 watt power supply.
At idle desktop CPU alone is 51.1 watt at idle and 283 watt under normal load.
If you undervolt the 10900k it will be at or below 1.4v and 125 watt (normal undervolt) to 225 watt (turbo undervolt)
The AMD Rtx 6900 xt draws 300 watt under load (GPU undervolting is usually not recommended)
This means under normal load its close to 600 watt with (cpu + gpu approx power draw only) and over 550 undervolted ( cpu + gpu approx power draw only)
Undervolting difference would you at MOST be drawing 51.1--225 watt instead of up to 51.1-283 watt (not undervolting)
Thankyou jarrod you dont know how happy iam
What difference between previous gp66 leopar with3080 compare to this laptop with 4080? Is here any sense upgrade to laptop with 4080 from my gp66 with 3080??

@@Procprocproc726 screen looks really good. I believe it has good color reproduction. I ran gears 5 on ultra graphics. It ran buttery smooth.
Nice catch Jarrod. Although I found an Omen 17 with a 4080 on eBay sold by a retailer “Antonline“ going for $1729 as well. I naturally prefer 17”3 screens so the Omen’s my preferred choice. I actually replied to your last post on your website (the counter strike) asking about the legibility of that seller, but you probably hadn’t seen it yet :)
Anyone else, who has any experience with Antonline? Helping me out here would be really, really appreciated, Ive had no help so far & I think that’s a great price for a 4080.
just curious why you prefer 17? I can't ever go back to 16:9 aspect ratio. 16:10 is just so much better imo. I bought my antonline legion 5 pro and it went fine. I did try to take advantage of their return policy. After I threatened a charge back, they complied. Basically, they give you a bit of crap, but if you push back they will (must) honor it. Reddit doesn't really like antonline tho, and says its a scummy seller.
@@boblablaw4857 Thank you! Feels great to *finally* get a response from someone who finally got from them, because I saw a lot of mixed reviews on reddit. Hoping for something nice on black friday.
Why I prefer 17”? No reason, I like big screens & I don’t have the workspace at the moment/budget to get an external screen, as I move a lot with my laptop anyway( I do many more career/data functions other than gaming. Game much less these days even)
Does antonline only take orders online(no pun intended)? Or you can head down to their store to buy as well? Thanks a lot, again
Antonline typically have the best prices, however, they have a reputation for sending out used or faulty devices and refusing to refund them. We don't list any of their deals on our site, even if they have the best prices. I would definitely check the negative feedback on Ebay before making the decision.
@@JarrodsTechJust saw this, bless man! Think I’m gonna have to make a a hard one here
Hey Jarrod, this is on sale for $3299 AUD but with the i7 13700HX, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd and a QHD 240hz display and its also got a 4080. Do you think its worth it at this price or is the hp omen 17 with a 4090 better at the same price?
Just bought that
Can you please compare gaming laptop longetivity vs desktop ? Can expensive gaming laptop last 6_7 years ? I really want to know more about this topic
Please review the QHD one, so i know if its worth buying, since the only problem was screen
oohhhh my laptop is on jarodd finaly he can tell what good of a purchase i made or not .... havent finish watching it
yay its a good purchase ... i think
People from Europe: 1,700$, is this a joke?
No vat (minimal tax) over there
in India this same laptop is listed for 3,669 USD equivalent
whereas Predator Helios 16 is the cheapest at $2,950
1700 so cheap lol
looks good but im about to snag an eluktronics prometheus xvi g2 for 2199 with the 4080 and 32 gb of ram, i think it will server me well.
Please make a video on gaming laptop with best battery life and portability.
Hi, your videos are very informative thanks a lot for that.
I'm from India, in india the cheapest rtx 4080 i9 13th gen laptop is "ACER PREDATOR HELIOS 16".
can you make a complete video of it.
And one request most of the time you analyse in terms of gaming. Can you please add the perspective of rendering, 3d modelling etc like for architecture purpose and editing purposes please
I found it for 1999 euros (black Friday sales) here in the Netherlands with the i9-13950HX ..... thinking of buying it. Any suggestions?
Upgrading from an MSI stealth GTX 1060 i7 6700 LOL
Same as in germany on Amazon. I will probably get it since most of the rtx 4080 laptops costs 2600-4000 euros in europe
I see there is two screen options, I understand higher res and mhz is better, but the lower res and higher res with the same specs are the same price. I’m guessing one is better for gaming and one for design or something?
Does the screen response problem disappear if you connect this to an external monitor right?
I bought this laptop a couple of weeks back, i was really impressed with the performance.
Do you have problems with temperatures while playing and your PC turn off?
great review Jarrod as always, very accurate. i've seen this review just now, after i already bought this laptop, i think this laptop is great, 16 gb ram for me itss a lack but you can upgrade so its ok, about the screen there no problem, if you will play fps or batlle royale just buy a 24'' or 27'' 240 hz monitor and use the laptop screen as second screen. GG!
ps the upgrade in the bios solved the problem of the fans for me.
Yeah BIOS update is mentioned in pinned comment :)
Do you get 240hz on your monitor? What cable do you run on it?
Does RTX 3000 laptop cards support DLSS 3.0? Jarrod can you help me with this?
