    Jarrod is the Gold Standard when it comes to in depth tech reviews for all things gaming laptops. Great content! I recently purchased an external monitor for my 17 inch Lenovo Legion, but hadn't really gotten into gaming with the external turned on (too used to the keyboard layout and feel of just using the laptop for gaming). This is good info to know. I might use that "only use external monitor" feature you mentioned and try gaming on the external!

    This video really helped me out. Last week I was at my local Walmart and they had a Asus Strix laptop with an 8 core 10870 i7, 2070, 16gb dual channel ram and a 144hz 1080p panel on clearance for $1149. It was on clearance because it was considered an open box because someone purchased it and returned it the same day. The laptop was still sealed and had never been opened. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I've been on the fence lately of purchasing a 144hz external monitor not only to game, but to have dual monitors for work purposes. After watching this video, I'm going to invest $200 on a nice 24" gaming monitor. Thanks again!

    So If I connect an external display, somehow it felt that the game run way smoother.
    I don't know if that was only my optical illusion, or the size of the screen that caused my perception to change, or is it actually improving the performance.

    Thank you for explaining why the performance increases when using an external monitor. It is also worth noting that if you have a laptop with RTX 2070 or 2080, connecting the computer to an external display with resolution of either 1440P or 4K yields additional gains in gaming performance. As far as I can tell, the reason is that high end RTX cards seem to want to run at more than 1080P and the 45W 9th gen intel i7 CPU in my computer creates a significant bottleneck in AAA games that tend to be more CPU intensive when running at 1080P. Outputting to an external display at either 2K or 4K seems to alleviate the CPU bottleneck so the benefits stack.

    Great review. For older laptops the benefit could be much higher. I have an old Metabox P640, i7-6700hg and GTX-670m. I always knew from the NVIDIA utility that the external 1080p monitor is connected by DVI-DVI though the Intel GPU, but didn't expected performance penalty. Yesterday I got a mini display to HDMI cable, which connects directly to the GTX-670m and the difference is massive. I estimate FPS went up +50% on World of Warships and Total War series, I don't have any of the games you test on.
