r/GamingLaptops

Finally got my first gaming laptop today. Super excited to play a bunch of games especially 007 first light next week.

Its stable around 95° C and I want to lower it down to under 90° C, what should I do?

Specs are rtx 3050 6gb, i5 12450H, 16gb ram.

Setting is medium with high texture quality.

Just delivered and unboxed so cannot give any comments on performance yet. But the build quality is so good and it’s so much lighter than expected. The touchpad and keyboard are also very smooth and definitely feel similar to MacBook. 😍😍😍

Budget: $2500

Country: USA

Use Case: Gaming. Titles: Escape from Tarkov. STALKER 2.

Preferred Specs: 32GB RAM, RTX 5060 or higher tier

Hi, everyone. Now I’m hesitating between these two. I know their tier and price range are different. I just wonder which one would be a better deal. My scenario is to play Escape from Tarkov (I aim to stay at 60FPS in the street of Tarkov) and STALKER 2.

Or should I wait until July 4th to buy gaming laptop since there’s no really sweet discount in major retailers now?

Based on the title, whether the laptop is hot or not, black screen occurs whenever I insert or remove the charger, is this normal or not?

In addition there is one time that the screen repeatedly have black screen, but it rarely occurs anyway. Prob because of the intense heat.

My laptop is Asus TuF A15

(I recently opened the laptop when I recorded this)

edit: for those who wanted the wallpaper, just look at the comment section for that one, someone already sent it lmao

Budget: $200
Country: USA
Use Case: Mixed, but mostly gaming
Preferred Specs: GPU, CPU Temperature
Notes:
I’m having a really hard time choosing which one I want, they say they are basically the same but the v12 has software control but the gt600 has a better foam that seals the bottom of the laptop (but apparently my laptop has a flat bottom so the seal is basically the same on both). I want the best one for my laptop since I’m only gonna need to buy it once but I just want to choose the right option. What do you guys think?

I got a:

ASUS - ROG Strix G16 16" 2.5K 240Hz
Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 HX - 32GB
RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 - 1TB
SSD

It's on sale for Memorial Day, so I bought it.

My current laptop is an Alienware M16 13700HX/4070, but I'm old and my eyesight struggles when playing competitive games at my lanparty. The 18" screen on the Scar looked wonderful.

Does anyone here have this model? Do you like it?

Been using this baby since 2020 for online classes, but compared to back then, can't play 2077 that well even on low, Fortnite is nearly unplayable without massive stutters, and don't get me started on Rivals.

Was wondering if she can still be salvaged and used for games or if it's high time to get something new.

If it is time to switch out,

Budget: RM 2500 - 3800

Country: Malaysia (the one down the hall, to the right of Indonesia)

Use Case: Gaming - Cyberpunk, GTA V, Marvel Rivals, OW, FC, Arkham games. Just somewhat heavy games, can run really smooth on lowest, and still look good but somewhat playable at medium at least. Also for university work, with the occasional 3D rendering and programming.

Preferred Specs: wtv you guys believe is best, I'm not smart with the whole laptop/PC stuff

Notes: the general criteria is to play around the aspecs of a.) being strong enough for the aforementioned games, being cheap-ish (Willing to go a bit beyond budget), being light to carry around campus, and this one is totally ok if not possible, good enough battery that I don't need to constantly carry the charger everywhere, but like I said, just around the area of criterias.

Sorry if this isn't as in-depth as possible, like I said, not smart with laptops.

In the end, if I can run Minecraft on battery well (60fps), I can consider even that viable.

Muchas Gracia's.

It legit has everything I wanted got the warranty extension, has the Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5080 with 32GB Ram and 1TB SSD. Also came with the free Deathadder V2X Hyperspeed. Temps are great 60-70C GPU when gaming and 70C CPU while gaming (undervolted). No scratches or dents. Even had plastic on it.

Told my wife I didn’t want to buy a new gaming laptop unless a deal fell into my hands. Walked into costco and saw this display model. What you guys think ?

The uglier pic is the current internet card, I think. I used the device manager to find the type: intel r wireless-ac 9560 160mhz.

This is what's coming up (2nd pic), not a lot but I'd hate to buy this and it not be correct. I see some of the lines aren't exactly the same and I'm not sure what that means :^)
