That's very brutal results especially in 4k which im not surprised then again 4K is a waste on a laptop anyways. Also the desktop High end GPUs uses GDDR6x unlike the laptop high end GPUs. Im still surprised that the 3070ti and 3080ti doesnt use GDDR6X at least. What a missed opportunity Personally i dont expect laptop GPUs will ever keep pace with desktop GPUs, The gap will keep expanding every generation with laptop GPUs being stuck at 175W. I agree. I said this in another thread that its barely a market for it anymore and that OEM's will cater to causals instead of enthusiasts because it'll make them more money. Same goes with T&L gaming laptops which have terrible heat management and soldiered components.

I expected at least 200w for the laptop version but that too much to ask it seems like. The Laptop versions will keep getting neutered while the desktop versions will keep getting more powerful increasing the gap between them. Its very doubtful that OEMs will make power bricks over 330W in order to handle a higher wattage laptop GPU because it'll lose its portability and it'll make more sense to buy a desktop instead. Back then you'll have to use 2 powerbricks in order to handle it or it'll power throttle. Sadly the days of socketed GPUs are over unless you get a workstation.

Yea, having 99% sRGB is great for professional image work

MSI Titan GT77 Full Review Before it was a good reason to futureproof a laptop but now its kinda pointless. A Ryzen 7 and Intel i7 CPU will last for several years and its doubtful that future generations will improve performance that much. As for GPUs it depends if you're going to play games on 1080p, QHD, or 4K which is a waste on a laptop imo. A RTX 3060 GPU will last for several years especially with DLSS and FSR which a lot of games use these days. By the time you need to upgrade your laptop it'll will be on its last legs through years of use and abuse. Back then the average BGA gaming laptop will last about 2-3 years because the GPU can no longer handle the latest games anymore and it was the main reason why true DTR laptops exists including MXM and LGA CPUs. But now its barely a market for it anymore so ofc OEMs will cater to causals instead of enthusiasts because it'll make them more money I am against T&L laptops because they cant handle heat much especially when they're stuffed with a powerful CPU and GPU and plus having soldiered basic components like RAM, WIFI and SSD. Also in a couple of years they will overheat and die.

I'll suggest the ASUS Zephryus 14 since its one of the best 14" inch gaming laptops in the market.

As expected in the laptop sector https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-Lovelace-AD102-RTX-4090-to-have-800-W-power-limit-laptop-variants-tamed-at-175-W-could-result-in-wide-performance-deltas-compared-to-desktop.629527.0.html We have been speculating that Nvidia's upcoming Lovelace generation of GPUs would have higher power consumption than Ampere. Rumors so far suggested that the upcoming flagship RTX 4090 based on the AD102 GPU may have power consumption pushing past 700 W or even 850 W. Nvidia will offer both desktop and mobile variants of Lovelace, and now we are getting to know what could be their likely power targets. This information comes via @kopite7kimi on Twitter who has been quite accurate for the most part when it comes to GPU leaks. The Lovelace lineup will have GPU offerings starting from AD102, which is the flagship chip, all the way down to AD106. AD102 is expected to have a mind-boggling 800 W power limit, which obviously means it will not make it to laptop form factors. This is not unlike what we've seen with Ampere wherein the top-end RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU was based on GA103 and not GA102. GPUs from AD103 onwards will come in both desktop and mobile variants. While the desktop AD103 will have a maximum power limit of 450 W, the mobile version will be capped at 175 W similar to the RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU. AD104 is touted to have a power limit of 400 W on the desktop but will be restricted to 175 W on mobile. This is a good uplift from what we've seen with the RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU, which has a TGP of 150 W (125 W TDP and 25 W Dynamic Boost). Finally, AD106 will have a power limit of 260 W on the desktop but will work at 140 W in laptops. The RTX 3060 Laptop GPU offers a range of TDPs from 60 W to 115 W, but it is interesting to know that its successor can be pushed all the way to 140 W. We do not have power limits for AD107 yet. A point worth noting here is that these figures are maximum power limits for a particular GPU and not actual TDP or TGP figures. These numbers serve to indicate as to how much a GPU can be pushed under the right cooling and overclocking conditions. They also give us an indication of what could be the extent of a momentary spike in power consumption under load. The RTX 4090 cards are thought to hover around 600 W TGP. However, a more recent spec leak puts the RTX 4090's TGP at around 450 W, which is still a good 100 W higher than the RTX 3090's 350 W rating. The mobile Lovelace cards look to be using similar power limits as the current Ampere generation. The wide power limit gap between corresponding desktop and laptop Lovelace SKUs indicates that the performance delta between them could be huge. Having said that, pushing Lovelace any higher than 175 W would probably require large investments into chassis and cooling redesign R&D, which is unlikely a near-term goal for most OEMs. Some Alder Lake HX laptops are pushing a combined 250 W from both the CPU and the GPU already. That being said, the increased CUDA core counts and other specifications should still lend a good performance uplift with Lovelace mobile, but it is too early to speculate.

Internet Explorer is officially dead. Enjoy the memes!

I posted about this laptop in my thread but again this is worst than a soldiered CPU/GPU because it make upgradeability very difficult to do because you would have to remove the motherboard to do so. Thin and light gaming laptops are already bad enough but add inverted motherboards to that with soldiered components and you're pretty much screwed.

Its been the trend for laptops for years now. Most OEM's been copying Apple trying to be as thin as possible and having every component to be soldiered to the motherboard. Professional companies often use business type laptops which are much better than consumer based laptops, Better durability, better warranty and not to mention their features as well. Dont expect any consumer based laptops to receive the same treatment as business type laptops. Here another controversial laptop trend that hasnt been mentioned yet. Inverted motherboards!. To me its worse than a soldiered CPU/GPU because its makes upgradeability very difficult to do because you would have to remove the motherboard to do so. Dell been doing this with their Alienware series. Example: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Predator-Triton-500-SE-review-Slim-gaming-laptop-with-RTX-3080-Ti-and-Alder-Lake.627537.0.html

Update on Honeywell 7950SP Well after a month of using the paste the temps started to spike up to 97C when playing GTA V and when i ran cinebench it went as high as 100C so i decided repaste again, I wish i took pictures of what it looked like but i was in a rush but setting the paste and letting the heatsink to spread the paste kinda fail as there was some bare spots on the cpu die so this time i decided to spread the paste myself but again this paste is pretty thick so even using the spatula was hard to spread so i used my finger to do it with the finger glove that came with the package. It was kinda messy but i managed to spread it to completely cover my CPU and GPU die. I expected bad results but i was wrong i ended up having better temps this time lol. I did back to back runs on cinebench and here the results. I also played cyberpunk 2077 for 15 mins and the temps stayed cool. Mid 70c's on the CPU and upper 60c's on my overclocked 1660ti. Hopefully this time i wont have to do another repaste anytime soon and after being a guinea pig with the paste version i would recommend of getting the pad version instead.

It shouldnt been made in the first place because the trilogy ended almost 20 years ago but then again money trumps all i guess. Also the main actors who played Morpheus (Lawrence Fishbrune) and Agent Smith (Hugo Weaver) didnt want to be part of it. Yeah it currently has a 5.7 on IMDB atm and i think i know the reason why and its a big spoiler. Anyways the first movie is the best of the trilogy, the second one had a lot of action/fighting scenes and the third one was kinda boring but it closed the trilogy the right way because it ended the war and Neo fulfilled his destiny.

Sadly the era of MXM is dead and i wish it wasnt the case, Even if they bring it back it going to cost way more than its worth. If you think the prices for desktop GPUs are bad the pricing for MXM cards are going to be double or even triple the cost depending how long inflation will last. Anyways imma leave this here. Dynamic boost ruins it.

Finally seen The Matrix Resurrections on HBO and it was bad as i thought. It started out decent but then it went downhill after that. The whole story made no sense whatsoever and its a insult to the trilogy and especially to the first matrix as they tried to rehash certain moments from it.

Haha. What makes it worse is that the Intel Arc A770M is weaker than an RTX 3070 which makes it a mid range GPU technically. Also Intel's GPU drivers are pretty bad so it'll affect performance more. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Arc-A770M-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.613274.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/First-Intel-CPU-GPU-Gaming-laptop-Clevo-X270-notebook-with-Intel-Arc-A770M-GPU-breaks-cover.624990.0.html

That just plain nasty. I still dont see the point of it, Even if a CPU uses like 25w when gaming it still should use its full turbo boost clock speeds. Even in my current laptop when i play low demanding games my CPU uses like 10-15w and it still be at its full turbo boost speeds. I havent seen any proof of it improving gaming performance at all. Like i said before people are getting screwed hard and they dont even know it.

I havent been following the trial much because i been busy and plus i dont care about celebrity drama but im glad Johnny Depp won because Amber Heard is a example of evil women that willing to lie and manipulate to get what they want and sadly you have a lot of women who are like her including a past Ex of mines. Its more cringe worthy that the media was defending her even though the fact every time she opens her mouth she openly lies and its obvious to everyone who was watching and plus her evidence was clearly photoshopped to make Johnny look bad plus her leaving poop on the bed is some crazy sh*t. I seen the clips of the trial and it was pretty damn bad for Amber, She was doing everything possible to destroy this man out of hate and im glad Johnny cleared his name and restored his reputation . Overall it was a clown show but at least the right person won.

The Legion 7 with a RTX 3080 was on sale on walmart in this thread but its sold out now which is not a surprise But i found another good deal for a Legion 5 Pro with a RTX 3070 for only $1400 https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/484883807

Looks like Cyberpunk will finally get its first expansion pack https://www.notebookcheck.net/CD-Projekt-Red-accidentally-leaks-the-plot-of-the-first-Cyberpunk-2077-expansion-pack.622653.0.html

I dont know what desert heat feels like but i bet it feels better than what we get here on the east coast because our dew points gets into the 70s making it feels hotter than it is. 90F+ weather can feel like over 100F here and you'll sweat a lot. Gotta keep yourself hydrated through the day if you going be out in the sun and have some sunscreen as well. At night at times its worse than the day because of the high humidity and it feels like a oven, Worse if you dont have an AC. At least in the desert it feels cold at night!. We have all 4 seasons on the east coast, Northeast to be exact. We have cold winters and hot summers, Its a good balance besides the snowstorms and severe thunderstorms at times..

That's crazy and an overexaggeration lol! When i used SYY-157 it was easy to apply, Plus they'll give you a tiny spatula and cleaning wipes in the package

Yea that is bad, i noticed that on the videos when the GPU is almost using its full power that the clocks on the CPU drops almost to stock clock speeds. A CPU is not going to use its full wattage when playing games but there no excuse for not using its full turboboost clock speeds, at that point you mind well disable turboboost but also it'll cause some stutters while playing games at times because of that. People are getting screwed hard and they dont even know it. The future of gaming laptops is pretty bleak.......

I use Honeywell 7950 which is used as stock paste for the 2021 Lenovo Legions i think. There are two versions of it the pad version and the paste version, The one i am using is the paste version. I think the pad version works better as i heard on reddit. Paste Version: https://www.ebuy7.com/item/641009621899 Pad Version: https://www.ebuy7.com/item/632208664079

That is a very good deal for a full powered RTX 3080 Legion 7 and a Ryzen 9 5900HX! They must be trying to get rid of them before the 2022 models get released

Update: A full week after repasting my Legion 5 with Honeywell 7950SP i gotta say so far this is the best thermal paste i used on a laptop. Any game i played are getting great temps, like mid 70Cs and at times with games like RDR2 even in the upper 60Cs range with spikes to the lower 80Cs range after an hour of gaming, Same with Cyberpunk. Also my GPU stayed in the Upper 60Cs range despite the overclock. Im not sure if the pads will have better results than the paste Cinebench: This time I broke my record score with no change in temps.

I used SYY-157 which was the 2021 version, It was good at first but then after a week to a month my temps started rising again and at times over 100C+. Im not sure about the 2022 refresh version though but still i think it depends on the laptop so you wont have the same experience as me. It wouldnt hurt to give it a try
