I got Lenovo Ideapad Gaming version with GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, i5 11300H, got it like few days ago, everything works smooth and fine, no laggs, no overheat
This is a SUPER late reply, but by default the iGPU in the 5600H is allocated 2GB of system memory, which is why Halo was peaking at 5.6GB and having such a hard time. You can go into the BIOS and drop it down to 1GB (with a single 8GB stick) or even 512MB once you've got dual-channel installed. That will give you back a bunch of headroom and you'll see performance recover accordingly.
I'm glad that you guys made this review, I've been debating on buying this laptop but haven't really found a good review that shows me it's performance. Definitely will be buying this!
HP and Lenovo both almost come at same price point at least from where I am. But consider heating issues when using AAA game titles. Temperature on this laptop goes above 80 easily. And it's gets hot more than HP pavillion gaming But if you have AC room to use laptop when u game then i think it's no problem which one you choose.
No wayyy I just bought this laptop like a month ago I'm so glad y'all think it's amazing for it's price. I'd say it runs pretty good and no issues besides it getting pretty hot even with a cooling fan but I think that's just how they are 🤷🏽♂️

Pretty lucky that my country sells the "better" version of this skew with a Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3060 and 165hz good color acc panel for PHP 72K or around USD 1,400.

i like how the didn't notice the temps on the CPU where going all the way up to 90 degrees. i was wondering why they weren't getting as good frame rates as i thought a 3050 ti and ryzen 5 5600H would be able to get
@@SkullTrooper-kb7hm the ram isn't actually the problem. Remember that this is a cheap gaming laptop so expect it to have poor build quality since this laptop is all plastic and thermals aren't that great.
@@calvinilkay1067 Most gaming laptops are designed to overclock themselves to the limit and only slow down at a specific temp limit (usually 90-98c). Look at how far its boosting, that laptop actually has pretty decent cooling which is how its sitting at or above 4ghz the whole time. For instance I have a over the top ROG laptop with a 3080 and a 5950h in it and it also sits around 90c+ if I have it in a performance mode. The whole laptop is liquid metaled and has crazy cooling so it boosts a ridiculous amount and runs faster than my desktop 5700x (fans don't even spin up if I don't let it boost and sits around 60c)
the main issue with the fortnite review is actually the game runs significantly better after removing high resolution textures in the game downloaded files in the epic launcher. Another good tweak is also setting your frames to unlimited as well for better latency.
You guys should check out the Msi Sword 15.6, the specs are a i7 11800h, rtx 3050ti, 8 gb ram, and 512gb ssd. The rtx 3050ti performs better then the other ones for some reason. (Fortnite benchmark 8gb ram, 300 fps in creative, 16gb ram dual channel 600 fps creative)
Hey guys I love your channel but please please please don’t just see usb c and assume display out this is a SS usb c and CANNOT do display out it’s super disappointing and I wouldn’t want to see you guys getting bad comments for those buying the laptop and not being able to have dual monitor support
Looks very nice, you guys can get it for a really good price compared to in the UK it seems! Will have to keep a look out on prices here and see if they drop to anything like this :)
I upgraded my msi 1GPS. 11800k with 3050ti to 16 for about $65, since the same thing it was 8gb single channel. When I did upgraded seen a boost in some games in fps.
i honestly would have preferred full size sd to ethernet, because i bet a lot of people will use this for video editing too. plus, you don't use ethernet while moving anyway so having a dongle for it is way less annoying than an sd one, and quality ethernet dongles are generally cheap. either way great port selection but i don't really know why ethernet was chosen over sd.
I keep hearing gaming pc reviewers etc describe things as "not playable" when they're getting over 30fps, which has been the most common frame rate people have played games at for at least going back to the 90s. If there is stutter it's not the frame rate being too low, it's because it's fluctuating like mad, if you lock the frame rate at a comfortable level it'll be smooth.
Now i dont feel sad, buying an ryzen 5 4500 vivobook for 650$. Man, But i hate that sales man , i was mislead that i can upgrade my ram upto 16GB, which was not. It's so fking frustrating to see a soldered ram with no extra slot.
Thanks for the review and putting on my radar to buy. But I have a couple thoughts. Firstly the RAM is so cheap like you said, so factor in another $35 when the budget allows it. EASY. Second, those CPU temps are concerning. I have no idea what the ventilation was in the office, or if it was running under an incorrect power profile (like silent) which would not allow the fans to ramp up enough. Ryzens should not be hitting 95C. Third, you didn't mention the GPU power usage or set it up on After Burner. That's a miss. I would have liked to see that. Anyone know? I am REALLY interested in getting this over the Dell G15 5511 or 5515 which also go around the $600 mark with a 3050 Ti. The Dell just looks to be much bigger/heavier than the Lenovo.
Ryzens easily hit 95c, Ive tried 5 or so ryzen laptops in the past six months and all could hit 90c+ while gaming. 3 of those were legions(5, 5 17", 5 pro) and the legions had better cooling than the others, hovering around mid to high 80s, and reaching the 90s after extended sessions, though it was mostly peaks.
@@ultimategohan1551 My L5P gets no where near that. Maybe hits 80 on CPU intensive games like FH5 and Battlefield V. I guess I have superior cooling. Just surprising.
@@martmeister its not hard to replicate, just have the laptop flat on a desk(i did this so it was fair for all laptops), in performance mode, and go play apex legends at high/max settings(the battle royale mode) for like an hour or so, and see what temps are. Peaks into the low 90s are normal even legions.
@@ultimategohan1551 haven’t played Apex yet. Maybe once I am over No Build in Fortnite. Performance mode at 140W does seem to keep the temps down since the fans spin up a lot more. Regardless sounds like so shouldn’t panic if it’s under 90c.
I bought this laptop about 6 month ago. But the 3050 non TI variation. Its actually really good for a budget laptop. The speakers could be better and the screen could be a little brighter. But other than that i can't complain at all. I added another 8 gb stick of ram and a 1tb ssd
I own the 165hz late 2021 model. Got it for 800$ last month. Although i love everything about it 300 nits and 100% srgb the only thing that bothers me is there is no rgb keyboard and only plain one. I am not complaining there should be sacrifices made just for the display.
I'm on a lunch break skimming thought this video. Excited, I might get this laptop. Do any of you peeps that own it have a good idea of how long the battery lasts with non-gaming?
Benchmarking the same two games?????????????????? every laptop video i've watched that has an dedicated GPU, is usually benchmarking fortnite and apex.
I have a question what is more worth it the Lenovo with 3050 ti and r5 or the 3050 with r7 i would appreciate it if you guys would answer thanks. oh wait i watched it again for more detail and you littrely said it that 3050 is better than with TI so thanks
i got myself a 16GBx2 RAM and Samsung 990pro but it ain't enough...star citizens maxed out 32GB ram and RTS processor. Its mind boggling how much resources star citizen is taking on my Ideapad Gaming with Ryzen 7 6800 and RTS 3050...overall its still able to run. Not bad for a laptop
I had the version with the 10400f and the 1650. Whenever I loaded up any game I got the bus screen of death. Very unhappy about ut but the company I bought it from offered to trade it in for a 1650 super desktop with a worse CPU.
WITH THE UPRISE OF MOBILE GAMING IS THERE ANYWAY YOU COULD TRY TESTING OUT HOW SOME EMULATORS PERFORM ON LOWER END LAPTOPS OR PCS BEEN WANTING TO SEE HOW HARDWARE INTENSIVE THINGS LIKE APEX AND COD MOBILE CAN BE
Bugs me that the 3050ti only has 4gb. That is a pretty big difference to the desktop model. Feels like false advertising because buyers are going to think a 3050ti is pretty close to a 3060 but in reality its like 1/2 the performance
I got the 3050 non ti version of this laptop, Lenovo failed to include the m.2 screw and nit required to mount it, so unless you have your own ssd screw, you won't be using that second m.2 slot. Plus the temperatures are almost constantly above 90°C on the CPU and GPU when playing games like GTA 5 and dying light 1.
@@jrbp8875if properly set up, (limiting the CPU boost, switching off the external gpu, reducing the general power draw of all components) I get around 4-5 hours of general browsing and video. Keep in mind that I have the shorter battery, you can get the bigger one, but you forfeit the extra HDD/ SSD upgrade potential (you can still use the 2nd m.2 slot though)
i have it with 3050 RTX but ryzen 7 5800h along with 16GB ram , the only problem is 4GB graphic's bandwidth otherwise it's fucking beast no stuttering or lag in any games
Will this be good to console play with an elgato? My son is not going to play games on the laptop but on his PS5 with a monitor - he wanted to stream and record. Will this support that?
When you were playing HALO INFINITE, and getting 40-50FPS you were getting some kind of bottleneck. The 3050Ti was being used like 40-50% and CPU at 100% that's why you had a weaker performance. I'm not sure why as the 5600H should be more than capable of handling the 3050Ti... maybe a driver based issue? EDIT : RAM could be also an issue, but the laptop was using 5.6GB only? Dunno...
Why is he getting 40fps on halo infinite there's another video on youtube with someone using a 3050 non Ti and hes getting an average of 50 fps even on ultra??
This is a SUPER late reply, but by default the iGPU in the 5600H is allocated 2GB of system memory, which is why Halo was peaking at 5.6GB.

Just got this thing. Im getting 300-400 fps in cool math games. I love it.
Looks very nice, you guys can get it for a really good price compared to in the UK it seems! Will have to keep a look out on prices here and see if they drop to anything like this :)
The 3060 version was on sale for £540 recently in the UK. Its even better than this one.
@@RimzoSky where, I bought this laptop for 780 £
@@danditheyesman848 There was a deal on the lenovo education store.
I jsut got this laptop for £425 in the uk excellent refurbished
I love this laptop I got yesterday it runs amazingly hope you have a great day
I upgraded my msi 1GPS. 11800k with 3050ti to 16 for about $65, since the same thing it was 8gb single channel. When I did upgraded seen a boost in some games in fps.
Should have got the MSI Katana GF66 i7 11800h with 3060 and 16gb ram 144hz
i honestly would have preferred full size sd to ethernet, because i bet a lot of people will use this for video editing too. plus, you don't use ethernet while moving anyway so having a dongle for it is way less annoying than an sd one, and quality ethernet dongles are generally cheap. either way great port selection but i don't really know why ethernet was chosen over sd.
I got this with the 3060 in it, very promising performance.
Where intro please
I keep hearing gaming pc reviewers etc describe things as "not playable" when they're getting over 30fps, which has been the most common frame rate people have played games at for at least going back to the 90s. If there is stutter it's not the frame rate being too low, it's because it's fluctuating like mad, if you lock the frame rate at a comfortable level it'll be smooth.
That $700 laptop actually cost over $1K now.
Now i dont feel sad, buying an ryzen 5 4500 vivobook for 650$.
Man, But i hate that sales man , i was mislead that i can upgrade my ram upto 16GB, which was not. It's so fking frustrating to see a soldered ram with no extra slot.
Thanks for the review and putting on my radar to buy. But I have a couple thoughts.
Firstly the RAM is so cheap like you said, so factor in another $35 when the budget allows it. EASY.
Second, those CPU temps are concerning. I have no idea what the ventilation was in the office, or if it was running under an incorrect power profile (like silent) which would not allow the fans to ramp up enough. Ryzens should not be hitting 95C.
Third, you didn't mention the GPU power usage or set it up on After Burner. That's a miss. I would have liked to see that. Anyone know?
I am REALLY interested in getting this over the Dell G15 5511 or 5515 which also go around the $600 mark with a 3050 Ti. The Dell just looks to be much bigger/heavier than the Lenovo.
Google the model and find out. I know if I'm buying a 3050Ti, I want that 80-95 wattage
Ryzens easily hit 95c, Ive tried 5 or so ryzen laptops in the past six months and all could hit 90c+ while gaming. 3 of those were legions(5, 5 17", 5 pro) and the legions had better cooling than the others, hovering around mid to high 80s, and reaching the 90s after extended sessions, though it was mostly peaks.
@@ultimategohan1551 My L5P gets no where near that. Maybe hits 80 on CPU intensive games like FH5 and Battlefield V. I guess I have superior cooling. Just surprising.
@@martmeister its not hard to replicate, just have the laptop flat on a desk(i did this so it was fair for all laptops), in performance mode, and go play apex legends at high/max settings(the battle royale mode) for like an hour or so, and see what temps are. Peaks into the low 90s are normal even legions.
@@ultimategohan1551 haven’t played Apex yet. Maybe once I am over No Build in Fortnite. Performance mode at 140W does seem to keep the temps down since the fans spin up a lot more. Regardless sounds like so shouldn’t panic if it’s under 90c.
PC build for people who don’t care about rgb and all the extra things, just straight power!
Hi love your videos
I have to same laptop but with a ryzen 7 and rtx 3050 and has 16gb ram and the gaming performance is insane
oh thats my laptop but you guys have the amd version i have the intel one for 800 euros.
Hey, I bought a 144hz, ryzen i9, rtx 3060 laptop for $700. Did I get a good deal? No damage just a little chip paint on a corner
From where i think thats a good deal
I bought this laptop about 6 month ago. But the 3050 non TI variation. Its actually really good for a budget laptop. The speakers could be better and the screen could be a little brighter. But other than that i can't complain at all. I added another 8 gb stick of ram and a 1tb ssd
how's the battery?
@@skygen6757 i have the 1650 non ti version and the battery is pretty bad if ur trying to have it outdoors without charging
@@hoppy1940 if the 1650 is bad then 100% the 3050 is worse since they have almost same battery mAh
@@hoppy1940 but then again it's on the category "gaming" so you either at home or near a socket to charge it.
@@skygen6757 I can get about 2 hrs unplugged lol
That laptop is fine and all but no one's gonna talk about that impressive apex gameplay
First reviewer who got some gaming skills lol
I got the version from last year, with the Ryzen 4600H and 1650Ti, only bought the extra 8GB of RAM and it´s a beast.
thats like 1100$ in our country lol, i wish shipping cost wasn't high so i can like buy it with no probs
"up what is guys" 0:00
More budget laptop videos please!
If I get this at work I may actually recommend it to some clients
I own the 165hz late 2021 model. Got it for 800$ last month. Although i love everything about it 300 nits and 100% srgb the only thing that bothers me is there is no rgb keyboard and only plain one. I am not complaining there should be sacrifices made just for the display.
I keep my rgb off on my hp omen lol
Birthdays 3 months from now hope i get this or the touch screen one :)
Isn’t it bad for the cpu to cross 90+ degrees on the first day. (Apex Legends)
Yes,it is
Limit the cpu frequency
I just bought the version with the RTX 3050, itll get here on wednesday, I am pretty anxious about it lol
I'm on a lunch break skimming thought this video. Excited, I might get this laptop. Do any of you peeps that own it have a good idea of how long the battery lasts with non-gaming?
Where was this when I was shopping last year lol
I could run Microsoft flight simulator on ultra graphics on this laptop! It's amazing!
Benchmarking the same two games?????????????????? every laptop video i've watched that has an dedicated GPU, is usually benchmarking fortnite and apex.
I have a question what is more worth it the Lenovo with 3050 ti and r5 or the 3050 with r7
i would appreciate it if you guys would answer thanks.
oh wait i watched it again for more detail and you littrely said it that 3050 is better than with TI so thanks
There is a setting in Halo you’ll need to disable. On low settings you can get 60 fps stable
The fps drops in fn were concerning but when you first play a game on a laptop it's gonna take some matches to get the fps stable
91c cpu wtf man i can't play like this get nervous😁
Hmm, seems promising, but how about the battery tho? Does it last around 4 hours?
i got myself a 16GBx2 RAM and Samsung 990pro but it ain't enough...star citizens maxed out 32GB ram and RTS processor. Its mind boggling how much resources star citizen is taking on my Ideapad Gaming with Ryzen 7 6800 and RTS 3050...overall its still able to run. Not bad for a laptop
I had the version with the 10400f and the 1650. Whenever I loaded up any game I got the bus screen of death. Very unhappy about ut but the company I bought it from offered to trade it in for a 1650 super desktop with a worse CPU.
bruh, the price skyrocketed to $900
I really like this laptop, definitely great for moderate gaming costing only $600. I love playing Terraria with my laptop. Great laptop overall.
@@FOXEVY oh yeah it runs fine!
@@FOXEVY no problem 😃👍
Open the laptop like you used to do
WITH THE UPRISE OF MOBILE GAMING IS THERE ANYWAY YOU COULD TRY TESTING OUT HOW SOME EMULATORS PERFORM ON LOWER END LAPTOPS OR PCS BEEN WANTING TO SEE HOW HARDWARE INTENSIVE THINGS LIKE APEX AND COD MOBILE CAN BE
Bugs me that the 3050ti only has 4gb. That is a pretty big difference to the desktop model. Feels like false advertising because buyers are going to think a 3050ti is pretty close to a 3060 but in reality its like 1/2 the performance
I got the 3050 non ti version of this laptop, Lenovo failed to include the m.2 screw and nit required to mount it, so unless you have your own ssd screw, you won't be using that second m.2 slot. Plus the temperatures are almost constantly above 90°C on the CPU and GPU when playing games like GTA 5 and dying light 1.
How's the battery life of the laptop ? For non-gaming purposes?
@@jrbp8875if properly set up, (limiting the CPU boost, switching off the external gpu, reducing the general power draw of all components) I get around 4-5 hours of general browsing and video. Keep in mind that I have the shorter battery, you can get the bigger one, but you forfeit the extra HDD/ SSD upgrade potential (you can still use the 2nd m.2 slot though)
I went to best but and they put my 1 tb ssd in and I use both drivers. I just got the same version last week
Didn't know Seth Rogan was into tech like this 😁
Guys did not talk about the thermals at all
Just reviewed this laptop the 2022 Version with Ryzen7 6800H on my channel
i have it with 3050 RTX but ryzen 7 5800h along with 16GB ram , the only problem is 4GB graphic's bandwidth otherwise it's fucking beast no stuttering or lag in any games
Intels 2010-11 laptop panels had 110 refresh rate support but it wasn't an enabled option
same laptop here in Australia is selling for $1600+ aud, which I think would be around the $1k mark
It's 300 dollars in mine
Can you guys make a best OBS settings for us streamers!
imma upgrade it after a couple months i will swap almost everything for something better
Will this be good to console play with an elgato?
My son is not going to play games on the laptop but on his PS5 with a monitor - he wanted to stream and record.
Will this support that?
Hah complaining about 30fps? This will be awesome compared to my normal 20fps.
i dont think this is a "budget" gmaing laptop but its still pretty good
Ugh the power port is in such a bad place
Hi! Which one would you recommend: IdeaPad Gaming 3 AMD Ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3060 6 GB GDDR6, 120 Hz or Legion 5 Ryzen 5 5500H RTX 3060 6 GB GDDR6, 165 hz? Both with 16 GB RAM (8+8)
When you were playing HALO INFINITE, and getting 40-50FPS you were getting some kind of bottleneck. The 3050Ti was being used like 40-50% and CPU at 100% that's why you had a weaker performance. I'm not sure why as the 5600H should be more than capable of handling the 3050Ti... maybe a driver based issue?
EDIT : RAM could be also an issue, but the laptop was using 5.6GB only? Dunno...
Halo infinite is a very CPU intensive game
Why is he getting 40fps on halo infinite there's another video on youtube with someone using a 3050 non Ti and hes getting an average of 50 fps even on ultra??
This is a SUPER late reply, but by default the iGPU in the 5600H is allocated 2GB of system memory, which is why Halo was peaking at 5.6GB. You can go into the BIOS and drop it down to 1GB (with a single 8GB stick) or even 512MB once you've got dual-channel installed. That will give you back a bunch of headroom and you'll see performance recover accordingly.
