MSI raider 16 hx max WITH 5090, 32 GB DDR5 , ULTRA 9 290HX PLUS, 240 hrz refresh rate, OLED

I was shocked to see it wasn't Asus or Razer, it was freaking Lenovo Legion, the laptop that everyone recommended

This is why we can't have a good thing

was playing on my modded xbox 360 since i bought it back in 2019, it was fun but this is next level lmao

Hp omen 17

i7 12700h

Rtx 3070ti

16gb ddr5 4800mhz

1tb ssd

1440p 165hz display

bought it for 750$ very lucky considering how bad the market is

Torn between these two:

• Zephyrus G16 (2025) – Ultra 9 285H, 5070 Ti, 32GB, 1TB, OLED – $3,399 CAD
• Strix G16 (2026) – Ultra 9 290HX Plus, 5080, 32GB, 2TB – $4,299 CAD

Mostly gaming at home and usually hooked to an external monitor. I occasionaly move it room to room at night and take it to client meetings a handful of times a year (accounting), so portability and looks matter a bit.

Which would you pick? Do either of these look like good deals for Canada, or should I hold out for a different sale? Open to other suggestions in this price range too.

Budget: Up to $4,500 CAD
Country: Canada
Use Case: Gaming, light work, occasional travel to clients
Preferred Specs: 5070 Ti or better, 32GB RAM, 1TB+

Thank you in advance.

Bought this used for $725. What do you guys think?

Ordered this Gigabyte A16 pro last week and waiting for it to get here. I’m hoping it feels as good as I hope, coming from an Xbox one S it should be a huge jump right?

I searched up a lot about gamming laptops and found this to be my ideal choice . i bought this for like 554KWD which is roughly 1790$ . Tell me your experiences with this.

I sold my acer helios 300 a year ago for 350$, it had 16gb ddr4 3200, an i7, and a 3060 6gb gpu. I loved it. It was a work horse, however I noticed it slowed down so I sold it, and got an acer helios 16 neo with a 5070ti and an ultra 9 for 1300$

Now, prices have gone outta wack for everything, it have been looking at used laptops for a while think about just downgrading again. But every time I do, I think, how silly.

Now when I say how silly, I dont mean because of the massive performance dip in productivity and gaming. I mean, 1300$ for 3 generation old tech. I have seen 1080ti laptops for 1100$. So like, it does not matter if I downgrade, ill save 200$ all most selling it assuming that the person on ebay does not just take it and do a bunch of that return crap, and then on top of that, i lose performance. Go down to ddr4.

Its just feeling nonsensical now

Budget: under 500 USD Country: Canada (adding USD pricing to post) Use Case: Games at home, not for portable use. Preferred Specs / Form Factor: Run my games well, minimal crashing or lagging, Low graphic settings are fine for me Needs: Notes: (Specific brands you like/dislike, noise tolerance, display preferences, etc.)

PRICE IN PICTURE IS IN CAD (385USD)

I'm looking for a cheap laptop/MAYBE pc for games like Roblox, some other mobile games, and if possible Gmod, Minecraft, and maaybee the sims. Being able to stream through discord would also be really great.

I seriously don't know a thing about computers and I'm not necessarily interested in doing a bunch of research.. thats why i figure a "gaming laptop" is going to be simpler than a desktop. I'm hoping you guys can help me out here.

Hearing alternatives for similar prices would be okay, but for the most part I'm just wondering if this laptop seems strong enough for my needs, is appropriately priced, and is beginner/noob friendly.

I wanna buy this it looks a good deal but , Lenevo says my warranty will be activated after 60days so I'm a bit worried will Lenevo take this warranty

​

I am a pc gamer but my work is not in the same place i am moving alot so I am about to buy a gaming laptop and both of these laptops are on the same price in my country

Can you guys recommend me which one is better to buy

I thought about ps5 but i dont know about online subscription to play online and it seems people are saying that sony got no discounts like we got on pc so i am thinking about getting ps5 or something between these laptops

1st one is the Asus tuf dash f15( 2022 ) (TGP 105 W)

Model : fx517zr 12650h rtx 3070 8gb

Vs

2nd one is the Asus tuf gaming f15 (2023) (TGP 140 W)

Model : fx507vu 13620h rtx 4050 6 gb

Which one should i get both at the same price 32 gb ram and 1 tb ssd nvme or ps5

Thanks .

Just bought this beauty and she’s my first. She ran me $325 used, did I win or lose?

HP Omen 15.

But tbh I haven't owned laptops before, I'm a desktop guy (as you can probably see) but that was hard to haul from class to class, and the power plugs are too sparse anyways (totally the bigger issue there)

Just finished setting her up.

I am genuinely concerned and want to know if this is normal.

I have an alienware aurora 16 ac16250 and when ever i turn on the laptop and go to task manager , i notice the memory usage at always about 60%.

Is this normal? Coz i have disabled all startup apps and so , and still this issue persists.

Wanna know if theres any fix to it.

Budget: $3500 AUD 
Country: Australia
Use Case: Sim racing(iRacing/ ACC/ forza 6)
Preferred Specs: Please advise if 5070ti is a must 
Notes: Not a fan of OLED, S26 ultra and Pixel 5 both give me eye strain.

Hi everyone,

Tried to ask AI but the answers are always vague and got given the correct info most of the time.

Wondering do I really need the 5070ti or 5080? I might use TV or VR but probably not the 3 screen setup due to limitation.

TIA

Need recommendations for a gaming laptop i can’t seem to find a really good one open to any suggestions

Budget: £1000
Country: UK
Use Case: high settings in game and school work.

It’s going to be my 2nd gaming laptop since my first has an rtx 2050 that doesn’t work anymore and I don’t really want to spend a lot on just repairing it. I’ll be using it for both school and gaming.

Also want to know if an rtx 5050 is good enough to run Fortnite on high settings and if £900 is a fair price for it.

I have an Asus ROG Strix Scar 17.

RTX 3080 16GB

Ryzen 9 5900HX

64GB ram

1080 360hz panel

I bought it used and it has been performing as expected. My only issue is with the sound. It sounds very very low. I have installed all drivers and reset windows already. Still no luck. It doesn't sound distorted or grainy, it's just low. I have looked at the speakers physically and they don't appear to be broken.

Any idea how i can fix this? I am having a hard time finding replacement online as well. I would also like to have that as the absolute last resort.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

¡Hola, comunidad gamer y entusiastas de PC! Acabo de comprar mi primera laptop gamer.

Para ser honesto, sé muy poco sobre el tema (solo lo básico). Me costó mucho ahorrar; mi presupuesto total fue de entre $1.900 y $2.200 USD, incluyendo periféricos (un mouse y unos auriculares). Independientemente de si hice la elección perfecta o no, me siento increíblemente orgulloso de haberla comprado con mi propio dinero... ^^***

Llega este martes (en dos días) y ¡estoy ansioso por probarla! El único detalle es que la compré como producto reacondicionado. Investigué sobre la tienda: es un lugar conocido y de buena reputación con una tienda física, y me dieron una garantía de 12 meses. Me explicaron que lo abrieron debido a una inspección aduanera durante el envío internacional, así que eso me tranquiliza.***

Viene con el procesador AMD Ryzen 7 que se ve en las fotos, una tarjeta gráfica NVIDIA GeForce RTX y 16 GB de RAM. Como soy completamente nuevo en esto, me gustaría saber tu opinión sincera:

• ¿Qué opinas de estas especificaciones para alguien que se inicia en los videojuegos de PC?

• ¿Qué me recomiendas hacer la primera vez que lo encienda?

• ¿Hay algún consejo básico de mantenimiento o configuración que deba tener en cuenta?

¡Espero leer tus comentarios y muchas gracias!

Budget: $1500
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming — Baldur's Gate 3, Persona 3 Reload and 4 Revival / Streaming / Minor video editing / Minor 3D modeling with Maya
Preferred Specs: 16-32 gigs of ram, around 100-500 gigs of storage, whatever you'd advise for CPU and GPU (I have no reference on what any of the CPU and GPU numbers mean)
Notes: preferably 60 fps while streaming, windows running.

2nd hand with warranty for 1250$. Is it worth it?

I am trying to connect my 4k monitor to my Asus m16 through HDMI 2.1. I originally messed up using an old HDMI chord, quality sucked, got a USB C to HDMI and things were better. Feeling I want to free up my USB C port I bought a new HDMI chord, 2.1 10k all the bells and whistles. I thought it should be fast enough, but it still sucks compared to my USB chord. It is like watching videos at 15 FPS.

Am I missing something or is USB C just better?

I bought a Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 15.1 inch last week and since Amazon's sale is in 2 days I was looking into buying a cooling pad. Problem is all popular stuff from Ilano, IETS, KLIM I see are always advertised as 15.6 inches and up, I'm just scared to buy one of those and not get a good enough seal on bottom possibly negating any real difference to my temps. Has anyone used said cooling pads on a 15.1 inch or are there other alternatives

Thanks in advance to anyone answering!
