Since its going to be used as a secondary drive/data drive you dont need anything special You cant do no wrong if you go with the Samsung EVO series. You can also check out TEAMGROUP MP34 SSDs if they're available in your country. Its the one i am using with my Legion 5, It's a underrated SSD which rivals the Samsung EVOs in terms of warranty and endurance.

They're insane for that... Personally i was thinking about trying out FC6 but the series went downhill over the last few years. I feel like playing FC3 again but its likely i lost my saved game since it was saved on their cloud and the servers shutdown this month.....

It does according to Jarrod and it drops below 50nits at 50% brightness 2020: (300nits 144Hz) 2021 (300 nits 165Hz): Its actually worse on the 2021 model with the 165Hz screen. I dont know what Jarrod uses to measure it but it seems only Lenovo laptops suffers from this. Like i said even at 40-50% brightness its very usable despite the lower brightness.

I was going to say this might make me finally update my NVIDIA drivers but the performance increases only applies to RTX GPUs and not GTX GPUs as well...... Im still looking forward to the results though if the claims are true.

Yea that true but it isnt a major problem if you're indoors anyways and/or not in a room filled with sunlight. Even at 40-50% brightness with my 2020 Legion 5 300nit screen when i am running on battery its very usable. You can always keep it at 100% if you dont mind losing battery life or if you keep it plugged in with conservation mode on

The Legions have good build quality especially the 2022 models. The Pro and the Legion 7s uses QHD+ screens with 500 nits of brightness. The Legion 5 can be configured with a QHD screen and decent 1080p Panels as long you avoid the cheapest panel especially in retail stores. You could try to look for non-gaming laptops like the HP ENVY, Lenovo Thinkpad, and maybe the DELL XPS with a dedicated GPU but you might have to increase your budget somewhat.

It comes in a sheet form look at @JeanLegi 's screenshots. The sizes you buy represents how much you need as a backup incase you wanna do another repaste in the future and incase you messed up. Every CPU and GPU have different die sizes and as long you cut enough to cover the CPU/GPU die it'll be fine. You can try practicing with a piece of paper For me i got paste version which isnt good as the pads but it still works pretty well but its a pain to spread because its thick

Ofc and as i said it uses advanced optimus. It uses the 130w RTX 3060(Last Year's) and not the new 140w version. It can be configured up to a RTX 3070ti

Yea it would be nice. GTAV and RDR2 takes up way too much space for no reason and i dont even play the online mode anymore since they're filled with modders and cheaters. Cyberpunk before the 1.6 update was around 40-50GBs i think but after the 1.6 update it went up 67GBs. Companies stopped listening to customers a long time ago and they gonna milk GTAVI online to death like V. I hope it flops since Rockstar/take two is no longer the same company they used to be and a lot of good people left like Dan Houser after RDR2.

Either one will be fine as you gonna measure and cut the pad yourself to make sure it covers your CPU and GPU die. It comes in a sheet form btw. 20*30 might be too little as you gonna need some extra as backup incase you make a mistake and if you want to do another repaste in the future

Update: Added Jarrod's full review Quick facts from his review: The Lid is made out aluminum and but the rest of the laptop made out of plastic Advanced Optimus is supported G-SYNC is only available with the 1440p Panel and the 1080p 165Hz Panel. USB-C 4 is supported for the AMD version so thunderbolt devices can be used but had BSODs when he tried to use his E-GPU with it, The Intel version supports Thunderbolt 4 Overall its a improvement over the 2020 and 2021 models.

Lenovo's BIOS updates are pretty badm I havent updated mines in almost 2 years because most of their BIOS updates are either buggy or bricking your system. Anyways It sounds like your problem is a hardware issue since you did everything you could at a software level and with the GPU flickering while running timespy and stuttering while playing games among issues with the touchpad. You should return it and either exchange it for another unit or get a refund.

You can check out mid-range gaming laptops within your budget like the Lenovo Legion series, HP Omen, Dell G Series and others since you're going to be doing heavy 3D tasks. Since battery life will be factor a laptop with an AMD CPU would be a better choice than Intel laptops but Intel's CPU's perform better in productivity tasks especially 12th Gen ones and they often have a thunderbolt port. Its a lot of choices within your budget.

Its real, Rockstar/Take Two confirms the leak/hack and are taking down any videos that people uploaded of GTA VI's gameplay including the ones you've posted. I saw some of the videos yesterday, most likely its a pre-alpha build from years ago and also people said that the hacker got the source code too. Also it confirms female protagonist from the article What a disaster, I never heard of any AAA game company that allows a hacker to get the codes and footage on any game that is current under development. At first i thought it was a angry fired employee who did this because its a common thing that happens with big companies. Then again i dont feel sorry for them because Rockstar/Take Two are no longer the same company they used to be and the people who worked on the GTA series and the RDR series left years ago.

I think its fair to make a separate thread for non-pro version of the Legion 5. Full Review:

I kinda agree. Cyberpunk's world is kinda lifeless and obviously GTAV's world is more alive, same goes for RDR2 The gig's in Cyberpunk are cool and all but a lot of them are kinda repetitive but so far i like some of the new ones

Firestrike is pretty outdated these days especially with Modern CPUs and GPUs. Timespy scoring system is a improvement over firestrike. I was bored so i decided to run it and i almost broke the record score lol Mind well post this too i ran timespy almost a week ago and my score increased for some reason. My scores is usually around 6300 with the overclock but end up getting 6408 my highest score ever: Havent updated my GPU drivers since my last windows reinstall almost a year ago.

Modders normally do a better job than the developers themselves. Most remasters are nothing more than a cash grab imo

They added a lot of things in 1.6, Some new gigs, random missions, new weapons, some perks and a lot of bug fixes. https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/45280/edgerunners-update-patch-1-6-list-of-changes With the new update they've announced a new DLC called Phantom Liberty that will be released next year Also they're planning to add FSR 2.0 well 2.1 now in a future update officially but dont know when. I been using PotatoOfDOOM's FSR 2 mod for a month now which works great besides the ghosting issues which FSR 2.1 addresses that issue somewhat.

Its pretty cheap now. You can also choose what size you need https://www.ebuy7.com/item/632208664079 Its worth it.

Cyberpunk Patch 1.6 Released 9/6/2022 https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/45280/edgerunners-update-patch-1-6-list-of-changes Also FSR 2.0 2.1 will be added officially to the game in a future update. You can still use the unofficial FSR 2.1 mod for now.

Intel and AMD laptops have supported up to 64GBs of RAM for a few years now. Since 2022 laptops uses DDR5 RAM its gonna be more expensive to upgrade to 64GBs of DDR5 RAM than DDR4. There are some reviews of the Legion 7 on youtube but not much info about the thermals

Agreed. Cinebench is the rest test as it pushes your CPU to its limit. @IamTechknow Glad someone else is testing out Honeywell 7950. Its a great paste especially for gaming laptops, The New Lenovo Legions uses a special version of it. The paste version i am using isnt as good the pad version but it works well. After 3 months my temps are still decent and they actually went down because summer is almost over here and the weather gotten better finally after a long hot and humid summer!.

Because of the Labor day sales going on. Its expected to go back to normal i agree. A 3080ti isnt much faster than a 3070ti and OEMs often overcharge for RTX 3080ti laptops, They did the same for the RTX 3080 laptops. Speaking of RTX 3070ti laptops https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Legion-5-Pro-16-Laptop-Intel-Core-i7-12700H-Nvidia-GeForce-RTX-3070-16GB-RAM-1TB-SSD-Windows-11-Home-Storm-Grey-82RF00DBUS/761504447 I still think this is the best deal i seen for a Intel 12th Gen/RTX 3070TI Laptop. The AMD version is about $50 cheaper.
