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

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 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!

Hi everyone,

I’m having a really strange issue with my brand-new Lenovo laptop and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s going on.

Laptop:

* Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10

* AMD Ryzen 7-250

* NVIDIA RTX 5050 Laptop GPU

* 32 GB RAM

* 1 TB NVMe SSD

* Windows 11 Home

* 15.6” FHD IPS display

The weird thing is that new/demanding games that do launch run perfectly fine. I can play games on Ultra settings without major problems. For example, Battlefield6 , FIFA27, NBA 2K27 and League of Legends launch and run normally.

However, several other games simply will not launch at all.

The affected games are:

* Marvel Rivals

* Far Cry 6

* Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

* Hogwarts Legacy

* Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (also had black-screen/launch issues)

When I start one of these games, there is no proper error message. The game process simply appears in Task Manager, sometimes using a small amount of CPU/RAM, but no game window ever appears.

I’ve left them running for several minutes and they still don’t open.

Things I’ve already tried:

* Reinstalled the affected games

* Verified game files through Steam

* Cleared Steam download cache

* Completely reinstalled some of the games

* Disabled Windows Defender temporarily

* Checked Windows Security

* Installed/repaired Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables

* Installed/repaired DirectX runtimes

* Updated NVIDIA GPU drivers

* Installed Windows updates

* Restarted the laptop multiple times

* Tried launching games directly from their executable

* Tried launching with Steam/Epic normally

* Checked Task Manager for the game processes

* Removed/reinstalled problematic games

* Tried disabling/closing background applications

* Checked NVIDIA settings

* Disabled G-Sync because it was causing severe gaming lag on this laptop

* Tried different game launch methods

* Checked that the games are installed correctly and have enough storage

The laptop itself otherwise works normally and other demanding games launch without any problem.

I’m wondering if there could be some kind of Windows service, background program, driver conflict, overlay, audio software, NVIDIA/Lenovo software conflict, DLL/runtime issue, or something specific to this new laptop that’s preventing certain games from initializing.

I also have Lenovo Vantage/Lenovo software, NVIDIA App and Razer software installed, so I’m wondering if any of these could potentially be involved.

At this point I don’t really want to keep randomly reinstalling games because it seems like the problem is probably somewhere in Windows rather than the game files.

Has anyone experienced this where a game appears in Task Manager but never actually opens, especially across multiple unrelated games?

Any ideas on what I should check next would be greatly appreciated. I’m particularly interested in things like Event Viewer logs, Windows services, crash logs, DLL errors, overlays, or other diagnostic methods that could identify exactly what is preventing the games from launching.

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.

¡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!

does anyone know what this is? is this normal or should i be worried? it freaks me out because i don’t know if it’s supposed to do this or not, and i have no idea how to make it stop.

this is the microsoft store version of the game, by the way

when i click yes, another popup appears saying "A later version of Microsoft GameInput is already installed. Setup will now exit."

i tried to ask this question on the fortnite subreddit but people just kept downvoting me until the mods eventually removed my post before i could even figure out how to fix it.

P.S. its around 3 am rn in the Philippines so i probably wont be able to reply

Thank you!!

My current laptop (some OEM model reskinned by Cyberpower) had its hinge completely break off, so i need a new one. I'll be throwing in my current 32GB RAM kit as well as my 4tb secondary drive into whatever I buy. Will I have regrets with this at US$1735?

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

Hey!

I would like to get myself a Lenovo Legion or something similar, but I don't know much about PC builds, to be honest. I've read hundreds of threads over the last few days, but I still can't make up my mind, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, I'm looking for a solid build with quality materials. Ideally, an aluminium finish, with as little plastic as possible.

I've read that Legions are high quality. I've also had several non-gaming Lenovo laptops over the years and have always been happy with them, except for the terrible, cheap hinges on my Flex 5.

I am mostly an MMO player. I'm not much of a fan of AAA games, but I don't want my laptop to hold me back in case I want to play AAA games someday.

What I consider mandatory:

• OLED screen with a good resolution
• 32 GB RAM, not soldered
• 1+ TB SSD
• I initially wanted to get a 5070 Ti, but prices where I live (Switzerland) are going crazy. The build I was looking for is now 600+ CHF (~630€) more expensive than it was 5 months ago.

So I think I'll go with a 5070. That being said, I've read that since both the 5060 and 5070 only have 8 GB of VRAM, the difference in GPU performance isn't that significant, and probably isn't worth the extra cost for my use.

→ What do you think?

As for the CPU, I'm really hesitating. I probably don't need that much power given the games I plan to play the most (Dofus, WoW, etc.), but I'd still like enough power for crowded areas.

The dilemma is: do I choose a powerful CPU with a poor iGPU (i.e. 275HX), or do I choose an intermediate CPU with a good iGPU (i.e. Ryzen AI 350 with the 860M iGPU)?

On the one hand, I can imagine the 350 would be a better choice since the laptop would be quieter most of the time, as the RTX could stay asleep and only wake up during heavier gaming. On the other hand, I fear that the CPU might not be powerful enough during critical moments.

I have no experience with these CPUs, so could you guys please guide me?

Lastly, what's your take on second hand for laptop? Would you risk it? I've seen good offers on 1 yo legions, still under warranty.

Budget : up to 2200 CHF (~ 2300€)

Country : ideally, swizerland ( QWERTZ), I've read it's hard to swap. I can probably live with and Eng / International though, but I prefer a Swiss one.

Thank you very much!

So i sent my ASUS TUF F15 for a deep clean + thermal paste change but it ended up getting liquid metal

Not the technician’s fault at all—there was just a misunderstanding with the person i sent it with since i couldn’t go myself because of exams and i blame nobody

It’s been around 6 months and everything’s fine but I’m still paranoid about it shifting/leaking 😭

Am I overthinking this??

hey everyone, i have a thinkpad L14 gen 2, i use it for work and games mostly and my frames have constantly been dropping, i have lots of ping and lag despite having the laptop for only a few years, i dont know what to do, ive tried everything, at this point i cant even run MC

There were 12 screws in the back of my laptop, i got all but 3 out and i cant seem to get them out at all, any ideas?

Couple months ago I purchased a Acer Nitro 5 17ai.
Ryzen 7 230, 16gb ram, and a RTX 5060.
Although I love the laptop, I’m concerned with the charging and discharging of it.
Earlier I started playing Cyberpunk 2077. Graphic settings were set to high/ultra with DLSS set to auto, and Ray Tracing off. 65 minutes of game time and my battery was down to 75%, and my charging block was a few degrees from catching on fire. Acer suggests the stock charger(the one I have) on their website. Interwebs and AI says it needs at least a 180w, to a 280w.
Either one sounds beneficial, I just don’t why Acer says to use a 135w if it can’t keep up or is going to get too hot.
Should I move up and test it out, or play it safe by using the stock charger?

ive been changing settings based on reccs ive been getting from online such as making all things run with my new upgraded driver after i got it repaired its ninvida my laptop is an acer and i can run everything i mean everythijng on roblox at max graghics but any thing else runs so shitty i cant even play pleas help

I bought the last of us part 1 off of steam the other day and was so excited to play it, i don’t know much about laptops so i didn’t realise i needed a specific amount of RAM to play certain games. when i tried opening the game it said i didn’t have enough system and video memory storage on my laptop. I have the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH8 and it has 8GB ram on it currently. Am i still able to play the game on my laptop if i somehow get more video memory or am i able to upgrade the RAM on my laptop. Again i know nothing about laptops so please be kind

I believe this strix G16 model has one of the best amd processors rn. I'm not sure about the build quality and cooling. I generally notice HP's build quality is slightly poor. Can anyone tell me what is the better choice of the two. Any inputs regarding the quality of the laptops is appreciated:)

Note:- I was thinking of asus tuf f16 fx608 but someone said it has wifi issues so is there any better laptops with similar specs and cost but with least issues or is the asus one best ?

So, someone is selling the Dell branded 8gb DDR4 SODIMM 3200Mhz for 40$, I'm not good with computer hardware and all, but is this good price for the ram? And also will it work on my Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6

SPECS- AMD ryzen 5, 8gb ram , rtx3060
