Gaming cannot survive the obsession with newer better things all the time. We're reaching serious diminishing returns but the tech industry doesn't know how to market any other way than through "innovation" that's becoming less and less relevant. We've basically been repackaging the same features since like 2014 as if they're new or meaningful save for MAYBE RTX, but even that's largely just a gimmick.
Sometimes I think we'd be better off if the silicon ceiling left us stuck with graphics on par with the game cube so we could escape the hamster wheel of technological advancement.

4K screens must be used with a higher then 100% scaling. High pixel density is very nice! 7:01
This. 150% scaling in 4K is decent for me.
On a 13.4 inch gaming Ultrabook, I'll take 120hz 1920*1200 over 60hz 3840*2160. The power to run games at 4k isn't there, and when I finally buy the xg mobile dock (only have the revised rtx 3050 ti fhd model atm, best buy was selling them for $1350 for a bit) I'll be using it with external displays mostly.
@@dan_loeb you make a good point. I currently use a Nitro 5 laptop ($650 from Best Buy at the time) with an external monitor. But I have to admit, I still see the value of having a good screen. However, the moment I turn off the game and switch to RUclips or Netflix, I want to use the MacBook Pro 16" supplied by my work. It has a GREAT screen, and it doesn't even have touch screen. The idea of having the best of both worlds is alluring to me, even if it's not the most efficient purchase. (Keep in mind that I only know this perspective because the MacBook was "free", but it's no different than a RUclipsr that gets laptops to review anyways).
”Hyperbook” could be a cool new name for this class of portable computers 😃
I like that name!!
There is a company that makes notebooks named exactly Hyperbook.

Me, using my retired dad’s work laptop that’s at least a decade old:
Ah yes, NOW it sucks.
This is very relatable
How many of us are using 10+ year old laptops here? I have an acer from 2008 and it can run Minecraft at a very high framerate around 10 fps
I'm impressed you can game on it. But shit, great job with the longevity on it.
@@Lamb666 with these things “gaming” is an overstatement. But I still have my dad’s previous work laptop too, and actually it’s charger and CD drive are the only things that broke so far.
"Work" laptops are basically overpriced garbage laptops. What makes something a "work" laptop? They're usually low spec in every way, but easily range from 500-1500 bucks.

I know it would be unfair but I'd be keen to see it up against a similar priced desktop to see how big the difference in performance is
That's actually kinda smart, they used a ryzen cpu to use less voltage, and the 1650 which uses the least power of all nvidia gpus and its a lil behind from the 1060, they probably even undervolted to ensure maximum performance while being thin as possible

Correct meaning or not, lets upvote this on every video!
I was surprised how I've never in my life used thunderbolt.
dude i just realized -
i have usb- c in my motherboard
is it compatible ?
Same. Never used Thunderbolt
Me either
My external speakers can be powered by thunderbolt and produce higher gain through higher peak power (wattage). As an example.
@@plantxvibe9571 no and yes, it depends on whether the USB protocol (the data format your USB devices talk to each other, or how it exchange data using a normalized standard) implements the Thunderbolt protocol, which can be PCIE X4 in disguise (it's one of the operation mode I remember).
This clearly is not been done since USB is not designed to handle this much data in the first place and thus requires major redesigning of its protocol, but in USB4 Intel generously donated their TB3 IP to USB forum, so this is now integrated by default, and USB4 requires USB-C.
Yet no one made commercial USB4 en masse yet, not even AMD. But the legacy of Thunderbolt will linger on USB, presumably forever. Maybe in five or six years when USB4 started adopting and Thunderbolt phased out, you will see much more applications to that, since you don't have to pay royalties to Intel anymore and this tax alone can be an ecosystem boom.
my 19 year old laptop be like: Always Have Been.
My first "nice" laptop was a dell XPS. I strongly do not recommend them. It felt expensive, but not useful. The motherboard failed after 8 months. It was clunky. The XPS series is a waste of money IMO...
After that I got a ThinkPad yoga, which my girlfriend still uses to this day. I bought the yoga used and it still works like a champ 3 years later...
After the yoga, I got a Asus Predator Helios (simply because it was the only high end laptop I could find here in Nicaragua) and it has been working like a champ!!
The more laptops I use, the more I feel like Dell XPS is a waste of money compared to what else is available. Just get a ThinkPad, and it'll never break...

6:13 Correct, however the XG mobile 3080 can beat the more powerful desktop 3080 in a Thunderbolt eGPU enclosure with an Intel laptop due to the bandwidth differences while being smaller. Does depend on the workload though, GPU heavy stuff where the connection matters less and the desktop card can have an edge.

@@itouchmazter5973 omen QC is inconsistent, if I didn't already have what I have, I'd be eyeing the Legion. As Linus said, this laptop is competing in the razer blade 13, XPS etc. space. If someone wants that kind of ultralight, neither the zephyrus, Omen, Legion, TUF, etc, will satisfy them.
To show the power of the cooler, I sawed this laptop in half!
I got x13 + rg mobile for $2k. I was not ready to pay 3, but 2 is actually pretty good lol. Appreciate the vid as always linus
It actually is great for work and play.
At work, it's great as a thin and light ultrabook. You can turn off the built-in RTX 3050 or GTX 1650 (depending on when you got it) if you don't need the graphics horsepower, to use the AMD integrated graphics to make your battery really last.
Once you get home, dock it to the XG Mobile, an external monitor, a mechanical keyboard and solid mouse, and you basically have something fairly close to a high-end desktop gaming experience that can play almost everything at 1440p with max settings.
There are some downsides though, the AMD Ryzen 9 chip inside runs hot, especially when it's pushed hard. So be prepared to invest in a cooler fan or figure out how to elevate the unit such that the fans can gulp in the air they need.
why.

For the love of god Dell, make AMD variants of the XPS series.
And razer please. Razer makes by far the best quality gamer orientated laptops, but buying Intel rn is an absolute scam.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're already in a contract with intel, and that's why we usually don't see much in the way of mixing and matching.

I spoke to a Dell rep. They’re in a contract with Intel.

When will the versions with the internal 3050 mobile be available? The only option I'm seeing on the Asus store has a GTX 1650, which is pretty weak for 2021.
I just got an Asus Zenbook flip 15 for $650 at Best Buy. I got it for graduate school and online GIS work, and ArcGIS Pro, which requires a very beefy CPU to run well. The touch screen and pen input also helps a lot. It has a Ryzen 7 4700u and it SHREDS even my older gaming PC with Ryzen 3 2200g in multithreaded workloads. ArcGis runs very well on it. It also has an Mx350 GPU so its super fast, and for the price it was unbeatable. I love it.

Hey man like your videos just letting you know I got a G15 last week from BestBuy with the RTX3070. After I did all the windows updates/bios updates it would get stuck on a black screen and the activity light would also stay on. The only way to fix this was removing the battery (what a pain) I tried trouble shooting it but no fix. After taking it back to bestbuy the geek squad guy told me it would take a month to fix. So I had to return it and now I’m waiting for it to come back in stock. ):

Ask Dell if they can give you warranty 😂
According to my research
The 4k version comes with 1TB/32GB/5980HS internals (Supernova Edition) and the FHD 120 hz is less powerful with an 5900HS and usually with 512GB/16GB.
So I'd still get the 4k version for gaming... especially for external monitors.

@@nexii1479 I used to have a 15 inch MSI gaming laptop before this. The smaller screen did make visibility slightly worse in games where you have to look far away sometimes (Battlefield with big maps and stuff like that), but the resolution is still great for the size, so it still looks great.

@@s1d33q For Stylus review, there are two subreddits. Flowx13 and rogflow or something like that. In windows, I only use the touchscreen for webbrowsing in tablet mode or some solitaire. I have not yet encountered any flaws with it.
The gaming power (3050ti) is enough to run Forza Horizon 5 with decent settings (high) without stutter and thanks to the beefy CPU you can play Anno1800 without much problems (still mid-game though).
It does get loud though. To keep temperatures manageable, I run it in either Tent or with the keyboard on the downside, residing on the desk.
For gaming, an external keyboard is almost mandatory.
Still the best Laptop I have worked with and that includes the Thinkpads at work. It's just so darn tiny and mobile.

Now...Six months ago...Six months from now, and for the next 6 years till I can afford a new one.
Yeah and you have to buy a whole new system once it becomes irrelevant which is why you shouldn't buy a gaming laptop unless you absoulotly need to for some reason
@Logic_Encrypted yeah and do what sell it for a fraction of the price you bought it for or let it collect dust
@Logic_Encrypted never said everyone needs the newest and best but if you ever want to upgrade later on you have to buy a whole new system not to mention they suck in tons of dust and you have to constantly maintain them
@Logic_Encryptedstill losing money you want to purchase things that hold value like when buying a car
@Logic_Encrypted exactly it you can't upgrade a single part in a laptop you have to buy a new one if you want a new part
5:06 Geezus, talk about dongle-hell!
Thunderbolt, eh? I'm guessing that's still a wee bit above what I usually need/pay. I'd like it if you made a vid about how viable Thunderbolt is today because last time I looked it wasn't very viable (in the sense that you had a very small amount of options, to the extent that you had to chose between thunderbolt or some other functions) as well as how far gaming mouse industry is from changing to USB-C (or at least include an adapter), considering how the laptop industry seems to exclude the A more and more.
Apple : "The M1 is the most powerful processor in a thin and light"
Amd and Asus : *Hold my beer.*
Per watt, M1 still destroys anything x86 has.
our beers*
intel: am I a joke to you?
people: yeah
M1 destroys the 10th gen intel stuff in every way, including power consumption and surprisingly, price
@@elijah_9392 but in a laptop nobody cares about per watt. What people want is overall performance.
Well it always has been..😓

just picked up a G14 paired with a 5800hs and 3060 combo best bang for the buck I could find for a 14" couldn't be happier
I just recently got an X13 6900hs 3050ti on sale for $999 and I feel the same way :D
Asus is killing it!
@@evelezpuma can you mention from where you got it , it's a great deal congrats
That small boi seemed it can be light enough to cool by flapping it like a folding fan. 🤣👍
Fun fact: The thumbnail was just a blackscreen and now changed to doom

So I got my ROG Flow X13 with the XG Mobile and I'm finding USB via the XG Mobile is really unstable. It seems like the USB hub via the Type-C connection is likely the culprit as I've also noticed LAN being interrupted as well. I'm planning to reach out to Asus about this, considering the price that I paid. Other than this, the laptop seems pretty great.
As it turns out...it was a general USB issue. So far, after getting the AMD driver tool to update drivers, things seem to be more stable (had no random USB reconnects during an hours long gaming session), so maybe just a driver issue which can be resolved with an AMD tool. I suspect someone who doesn’t know better is going to expect to get this from Asus, not AMD, so worth noting. However, if I do notice the issue returning, definitely reaching out to Asus. They don’t make it easy since there’s next to no support info on their site for this bundle.
I have a question I got a pc with only 8gb of ram and want to upgrade it to 16 but the problem is no one is selling a single stick of it and it’s only selling in pairs. Could I put 3 sticks of ram into my mother board and if I do what will be the affects?
