bad dealer in my country, next gen released, last year laptop price is still the same, price only reduced 50, REALLLY?
This for sure! Got a 2023 m18 r2 with i9-14900hx, 4090 175w, 64gb ram, and 4tb ssd on sale for $2800 new. Couldn't be happier, set for the next 4+ years ez 😁
I managed to get a razer 14 with 3080ti for only £1499 in the UK, why pay £2,699 for a 4070 which practically performs the same…

Quick summary :
Ryzen 8000 is basically ryzen 7000
Intel 14th is basically 13th
Intel core ultra's igpu is basically ryzen 7040 igpu (same performance)
Core Ultra can be really attractive to quite a lot of people though. Its iGPU performance is far better than anything Intel has ever offered in the integrated graphics scene, and the new core architecture seems like it's very efficient, compared to the old Core i3/i5/i7/i9 CPUs.
No es lo mismo, el ryzen 8000 va a venir con mas velocidad de memoria de 6400MHz a 7500MHz y de 45W TDP baja a 15W, mas eficiencia, la iGPU tambien se beneficia de la velocidad de la RAM. Superando de 8 horas a 12 horas que es ideal para trabajos de productividad.
14th gen very good,

Yeah, 100% definitely agree with this video.
More OLED and MiniLED screen options this year is great to see but with no Ryzen 8000HX CPUs yet and other CPUs and GPUs really just refreshes, its definitely tough to otherwise justify buying a 2024 laptop.
OLED technology is a nightmare, enjoy your burn-ins down the line.

I discovered this channel like 3 years ago, and I remember being obsessed with wanting a Legion 5 Pro(2022) variant with a 3060 on it. But here I am.. Guess it ain't for everyone.
Informative thx 🙏
Can you help me making this decision :
Would buy TUF A15 (2022) with RTX 3070 TI or TUF A15 (2023) with RTX 4060 for the same price
ps: the laptops have ryzen 7 6800H and ryzen 7735HS respectively
what about the new Legion 7i? got new better cooling and screen options. And also at least in the UK (easter sale) price for 2024 model is cheaper then 2023 Legion 7 slim
I find old models going for very high prices as well make no sense
I like important insights like this. I rarely find reviewers who discuss this.
They want to get paid so they're gonna sell ewaste 365 days a year, really terrible some people fooled by them.
Duck face yolo!
I got a 2022 Dash F15 with the 12th Gen i7 12650H and an RTX3050 gpu with 16gb DDR5 (4800). Should I consider something with a 4060-4070 with 13th gen Intel? I use my laptop hooked to a colling pad and external peripherals as a workstation, and I play racing games (casually).
Thanks Jarrod! I love your videos!
Yeah I upgraded for a MiniLED screen... probably didnt need for sure but my old 2070 Super laptop was starting to show its age so felt like time and didnt want to wait another year.
Hey there, Jarrod.. your advice on this matter really helped me finalize my purchase. I got a 13980hx / 4080 18" laptop, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all yourr hard work.

Nice video. How is the HP Omen Transcend 16 2024? Is it a good buy?
#5 - Not many people probably knows about this, but since AMD released FSR the community have already developed an FSR mod which give you basically free fps in your old laptop with old GPUs (like RTX 2000s/3000s, anything below isn't really preferred).
I know this because few months ago I was searching for a new laptop (a replacement to my Legion 5 Pro 3060 that I bought 2 years ago) because games have been increasingly demanding, but thanks to this mod it basically extended the lifespan of my aging laptop for like another year or 2.
FSR3.1 is also coming this year (integrated into some of the newer titles).
If you've got an Intel 11th gen/newer, or Ryzen 5000 series/newer laptop, I doubt they need to be replaced at all. Just my opinion.
@@HandleIsNewAndBadNot 100% true but I partially agree. If you play AAA games like me you will start to notice that games are catching up with the laptop hardware recently especially my laptop's specs (eg. Horizon FW in my laptop can't consistently keep the fps on 60 average - w/o framegen but with DLSS). I fear that I won't be able to run Ghost of Tsushima aswell.
If you play AA or Indie titles then true, you're good for atleast 2 - 5 years more.
Hey jarrod looking to buy the rog g14 w 4070. Would you then say 2023 model is a better choice than 2024 model ?
i wanted to upgrade my 3070 omen 15, after doing so much research i settled on upgrading to the 50 series if it is good. im not missing a thing. my 3070 works great for my video editing job and entertainment.
what would you suggest instead of the zephyrus g14 2024 ? i need a thin gaming laptop i can take to university, that also has a long battery life
Hello Jarrod,
I'm thinking about buying Asus Tuf A15 FA507UI with AMD Ryzen 9 8945H and an RTX 4070.
the other option is HP Victus 16 with Intel i7 13700H and RTX 4070.
What do you think?
Thank you very much Jarrod. I almost bought the Legion 7i but I really wanted an OLED screen so I decided to wait. I'm curious when you will start to hear what the 2025 models have in store? (July???)
I ended up buying an HP Omen 16 (2021) with i7 11g and RTX 3070 in 2024. 😂
Plays everything I throw at it at Medium/High settings in 1080p/1440p on average.
How much did you get it for? A discount I hope

Hello. Thank you for the videos about laptops...
Can you suggest me something, please: Which is better for me "Lenovo LOQ Laptop, 16 i7" or "Acer Nitro 5 i9"? ...For my wife if she is civil engineer that is use programs like Photoshop, InDesign and other graphic/scheme drawing software. Screen colors are important for here too. She says that Lenovo is good but 512Gb could be not enough, so I am watching between those two that you already viewed recently.
Well, about me, I can only play some not very heavy games like platformers or RPG games like Diablo 3.
If we have Acer in our nearest shop, should we catch it or it will be better to hunt that Lenovo in online shop, because we haven't it in our Province(Canada).
Quick question: Does it pay to buy a Vector 17hx vs GP78 Hx with same RTX 4080 for around 300 usd difference? Supposedly the 17HX "fixes" the low quality monitor and the processor is new Gen. I don't thinnk there are any other improvements.
I have a 2023 Asus Rog Flow x16 on the way now. I'm upgrading it with better harddrive and more RAM. It has the RTX 4060. My question now is, should I buy the XG Mobile 3080 version, or just "future proof" and go for the obscenely expensive 4090 right away? Or, should I just wait for a newer version to hit the scene? What do you guys think?
What's up, Jared. Great reviews! You're my man on UA-cam. Is the Legion pro 7i (2023) a good buy right now? ...and do the i/o ports light up in the back. Serious minds want to know!
So as someone who is in the market for a laptop for video editing and some gaming (BG3, fallout 4, etc), would a 4070 in a 2023 model be a good pick?
What's the best for both rendering and gaming laptop for 800-900? Thank you
The question is, is it a right time to buy laptop at all now? I have 2060max-q. Still working but I am looking at 4070, only 100$ than 4060. But would that be right move or wait for 5000x series?
Hi Jarrod! Thank for all the hard work and info you put in your reviews. Love the content! Huge shout out from India!
I have one question. I got under 1,000 USD budget, could you give me your best recommendation? Can you give me 2-3 option.
I am planning to buy Acer Nitro V with the specs :
I7 13620H, RTX 2050, DDR5 5200MHz
But with 10$ more i can get
MSI GF63 THIN
I7 12650H, RTX 4050, DDR4 3400MHz
I dont really know how to tell which one is better, since theres little to no review about the Acer Nitro V, im planning to use this laptop as a secondary gaming pc (since i have a pc which i will most likely play on it more often), but i also want to do coding which i know both of these laptop will do just fine. Any suggestion on which one i should buy?
I recently bought a new Dell G16 7630 (from your deals link) and while I could have waited for new 2024 models from different brands to go on sale, I jumped at the chance to grab a laptop with an I9,4070 and 32gb of ram for the same price as most mid tier set up's. Really excited for when it finally arrives!
Loud & clear. Thank you Jarrod.
Hey, Jarrod how long will it take for the g14 oiled price to drop please?
Should I buy the Asus vivobook 14 X
Rtx 2050 & Intel i5 12450?
Jarrod, any thoughts about buying after AMD releases Zen 5? Supposedly it's coming out around Q3 of 2024.
Hi jarrod, are you going to review the Legion pro 5i ? If you are going to review it, how long will it take for the review video to arrive?
Great timing. I have been hesitant on getting too excited on some of the 2023 gaming laptop deals already out there due to seeing the newer CPU models arriving. Now I feel better about snagging a deal when it feels right. Cheers!
Glad I could help!
Hello Jarrod
I would love to know what you think about snagging a 3060 model in this day and age?
I have been watching your videos since 2021 and you have always said that the 3060 was the sweet spot for gaming back until the 4000 series came around. The prices for the 2023 model here are bad and what's even shocking is that the older 2022 and even 2021 models for godsake is still terrible. Literally 1000+$ for an rtx 3060.
I still haven't bought a laptop but I feel like my current non gaming one will die out very soon. @@JarrodsTech
@@jupiteruniverse8683if u don't need it right now, feel free to wait for next gen launch, for some reason rtx 40 series helped by frame gen not by raw performance
But if u need it right now rtx 3060 still quite good
I'd like to upgrade to rtx 50 series next year from my rtx 3050
@@jupiteruniverse8683I have 3060 HP Omen. It was purchased two years back for 1300 USD. It still works like new. I only play Halo Infinite which it is capable of running at medium settings and high enough frame rates. Game runs well. Heating well controlled. Gaming on a budget. It has only 6 GB VRAM so it cannot run modern heavy graphic titles at fancier high or ultra graphics settings. But still , considering that is a luxury as is gaming in itself, 3060 is alright and I believe need not to spend more, unless one is a professional and does competitive gaming. Medium graphics also look beautiful. If you only have to play games then better get a desktop than a gaming laptop, better performance at lower price.
Thanks, I know not released yet but I've been waiting for the Intel 14gen which has many more cores (as April MSI only put into the Raider so far I believe). Am I missing something?
Good tips. I somehow bought an open box Asus G18 4080/13980hx/64gb ram model on eBay listed for $1995, but eBay applied a coupon (definitely some error)! And the price was reduced to $1633. Definitely a lucky snag and happy to pay much less than the 2024 gaming laptop premium.
Also what is ARM on Windows doing this year? The GPU on Snapdragon X Elite wount compete with Radeon or RTX most likely.
Hi Jarrod. Please help me with your wisdom!
I am buying a gaming laptop and i have the Legion Pro 5i 2023model (i7 13700hx / rtx4060 / 240hz) and the Asus Rog Strix G15 advantage edition 2021model (ryzen9 5980hx / Rx6800m / 1440p 165hz) both at $1499.
I dont know if the newer laptop is more worthy than the older all-amd laptop comparing merely on gaming performance that is the main purpose. Any advice or comment from you or the audience will be very appreciated!

I'd like to buy a Lenovo Legion 7i Pro gen 8 but now gen 9 has been released don't seem to be able to find one anywhere.
It's at least €500 cheaper for gen 8 putting it within my budget, any ideas what to do?
Hi Jarrod, what laptop would you recommend for long term use, I have 2 options one of them is a Lenovo legion 5 pro with 4060 and other is Lenovo legion 5 pro with 3070. The 4060 one is noticeably more expensive. I want to use my laptop primarily for gaming and a little bit of blender as well.
3070 is 15-20% faster in 1440p depending on CPU and laptop. also better 1% lows.
Honestly valid points, I was thinking of getting last years M16 as opposed to this years g16 anyway
I got this years g16 rog zeph, i9 and 4090 with OLED 240HZ and its amazing
As thin as a macbook and so powerful
And u great battery life 10-12 hours
How do you get 10-12 hours of battery life? Also how are the temperatures on idle and gaming?@@D4RKCOMETPLAYS
Bought Asus Zephyrus M16 4080 and I’m glad I did after seeing this video!
@@D4RKCOMETPLAYSThose look nice... screen is great, but seems that games benchmark lower than others with the same specs is why I didn't like it. I don't know if its they use lower wattage, or it just has to throttle more for cooling, but there is always a draw back to being too thin and light when you need more cooling.
@@D4RKCOMETPLAYS That's true, but a 4090 in such a thin chasis is going to perform horrendously and at a reduced factory speed due to thermal throttling. Don't buy 4090 laptops, use a lower powered GPU like 4070 instead.
what laptop model is that on your right hand? the semitransparent with the lanl on back...thanks
Is 3000 series even worth it if prices are close with 4000 ? (Im considering 4050/4060 or even 4070)
i was waiting for the '24 zephyrus g16 to be released on my country. waited too long and i assume it will cost a lot so i bought the '23 legion slim 7. not surprised that the exact spec on the g16 cost 50% more
What would you say the best gaming laptop would be for me spending 1,300. I want at least rtx 4070. What kind of cpu do I really need if all I do is game
Hey Jarrod, I plan on getting a gaming laptop soon and I can't pick between the HP VICTUS 15 FB1013dx and the HP VICTUS 15 FA1093dx, the 2nd one is a bit more expensive (around 60-90 dollars) but has more VRAM - a better cpu and gpu, so what do you recommend?
Note: I can't spend any more than this
I don't know what spec those are, but if it's 4050 vs 4060 I'd definitely spend that much more for the GPU alone.
Alright so I'll list the specs quickly, the first one has an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, it comes with 8gb ram upgradable to 32gb (DDR5 4800 MHz) and comes with a 512gb SSD upgradable to 2TB. It comes with an RYX 2050 (4gb) around 50W TGP.
The 2nd one however which is a bit more expensive is the 2023 model which comes with an i5-13420H RTX 3050 6gb VRAM 75W TGP, aside from that it comes with DDR4 instead of DDR5 - everything else is pretty much the same. So is it worth spending 60-90 more dollars on it or would I be better off getting the 2050 AMD Ryzen 7535HS? I'll have to use this laptop for the next 4 years. @@JarrodsTech
Dell G16 vs Lenovo Legion Pro 5? Which one would you recommend? (i9-13900HX, RTX4070, 96GB RAM, 4TB SSD)
Jarrod would you say it’s worth getting a 2024 G14 over last year’s?
I’m considering this years really only because it has amazing battery, although on some forums I’ve heard last years battery life has improved with software updates.
Which years G14 do you recommend?
Stay away from oled, and if you have enough to spend on an oled just go ahead and buy a mini led. You can watch comparison videos, miniled is almost oled quality without the danger of burn in.
Hey quick question, I'm getting Lenovo Legion pro 5i with i9-14900hx cheaper than i9-13900hx any reason for the 14th gen being cheaper??
In my country there's only limited last gen ones and most are the cheaper options but not the higher end SKUs. So trying to find older model is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Hi Jarrod! I have a deal at a Legion Pro 7i with i9 RTX4070 at the same price of a Slim 5 AMD RTX4060, should i go for it? In my country(Portugal) prices are wayyy up at laptops!
So after hours of research I can’t really decide between a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i with 32GB Ram or ROG Zephyrus M16 with 16GB both have i9 13900H and RTX 4070.
I have a Legion 5 Pro with 5800H/3070 and I really want to upgrade but I can't find any new laptops that fit my needs since 4K laptops are pretty much not made at this point (I get that it doesn't make sense since a 4K screen is hard to drive on a laptop)
Basically what I want is 16+ size screen and 4K+ screen with a refresh of at least 120Hz - it doesn't even need to have a dedicated video card or powerful CPU since it's mainly for media consumption.
Go for the msi laptops
That can fulfill your needs
Agree with those Jarrod, my top one related to #2 is that mainstream screen res went to 1440/1600p and most of those 40 series cards are limited to 8gb VRAM, my constant complaint I drone on about. And we're still on Covid pricing, as new cpu's and 50 series gpu's come in, the 40series versions will finally hit 'normal'/proper pricing, it's just silly right now and reflecting their stock position
Wow, nice information Jarrod, thanks.
I almost pulled the trigger on Scar 18 which would've put be back 1000 dollars more than the 2023 version. In the end I ended up getting neither because why not just wait for the new GPUs and CPUs?
Why? Because I'm getting poorer as time goes on
I have rog with ryzen 5900 and 3070 - year 2021. I am very happy with it and don't think for change - even more as rtx line 40 is not a big upgrade above 30 line.

I got my acer nitro 17 at the very end of 2023. Wasn’t sure if it was a good decision because I figured new laptops would come out in a few months and I would’ve just ended up regretting not waiting. Glad to see I made a good choice and I’m totally happy with it.
@Jarrod’sTech i love the oled screens but deciding between g14 2024 and lenovo slim 5 14.5 …which is better to get if at same price
and what's about the new Intel Ultra processors? Isn't that an interesting development, especially in the laptop sector? Or are expectations being raised too high...?
I update my laptop every other GPU generation (~4-5 years). I love my Asus M16 3060 and not looking to update until 50XX or AMD equivalent, so that's at least one more year.
yeah, I think some people look to upgrade too often. I have a Legion with a RTX 3080 in it from 2021, and it still slays everything I've needed it to... never felt like I needed something better yet. I'll probably be looking more at 2026 for an upgrade.
Same. My Legion 7i with 3080ti is pretty decent even for today's games. I will probably upgrade when the 6080 or 6090 comes out. But then again, I might have a desktop by that time.
My laptop is about to turn 4 years old so I’m looking for an upgrade atm.
Is the 50 series nvidia gpu really that big of a jump ?
I'm really debating wether to get this year zephyrus g16 or just wait for the 50 series next year
It's more that 2024 models aren't really any better than 2023 models, so you might as well buy one of them for cheaper. We don't have any info on what we can expect from 50 series yet.
@@JarrodsTech thanks for the advice.
But I'm not in the u.s so pricing is different, we just don't have discount even after a year haha.
Btw, what 2023 4080 laptop do you generally recommend ?
Thank you, once more, for enlightening us... I was eager to spend some $ on the new MSI Titan and forget abt upgrades for the next 3-4 yrs to say the least, but last years models seem to have done better, considering the benchmakrs.
They are fresh so they cost more money. Performance increase is minimal. Most of them come with win 11 installed. There are no good ones yet that hit that bang for your buck spot real nice.

2024 zephyrus g16 is worth it imo. I found the 4070 for $1750, and the only reason I went 2024 instead of 2023 is the new 240hz oled sync panel. To me the panel upgrade is worth the few hundred $ difference compared to a ips 2023 version

Yes I think it's quite good, we have a full review on it here: ua-cam.com/video/ubdhf0HNVDE/v-deo.html
Bought a Gigagbyte Aorus 17 YE5, the one with a 3080 ti, 12700H, 32GB DDR5, 1TB roughly 3 weeks ago. Competing at the same price for newer models were either 14th gen intel with a 4060, 13th gen intel with a 4070, or Ryzen 5XXX with either GPU. All the newer models, however, came with only half the RAM and storage and no additional nvme m.2 slot.
I know the Aorus is not good value, but compared to the newer offerings, it seemed like a bargain.
Jarrod, what do you think of making a video regarding temperatures on gaming laptops? I think this topic has always been in in so much vagueness.
Gaming Laptops have improved so they don't die out as they use to buy getting 'cooked'. But Gaming Laptops seem to have motherboard issues to this date. I still think though, that normal notebooks and thin and light laptops are the better choice for most people. Gaming Laptops have rather become very good, but they are clumsy machines and still niche. More a portable desktop. Now even laptops are old school and tablets and smartphones, and may be in future VR are going to be the dominant devices for the masses. Otherwise enthusiasts still build custom PCs.
I am waiting for laptops coming with eGPU like the Asus Rog Flow. I saw that in China people are using the Lenovo Thinkbook as laptop and connects external GPUs through the Pcie of the laptop. So i am waiting for that to become more professional
Thank you so much for this video!
thankyou for making this video , i was almost about to orderd 2024 asuz g16
well watching this after selling my i5 12th gtx 1070 w 27inch 144hz monitor,after i just bought lenovo legion 5 r7 5800h rx 6600m with 165hz it was cheap only needed cleaning and repaste now works like a charm only thing im not rly used to is keyboard and 15.6 display
I'd be so disappointed if Zen 5 gets a significant efficiency bump since I just bought the new G14 for its good battery life for a gaming laptop. Also, btw Jarrod, how did you and other reviewers manage to get 10-11 hours with the 2024 G14? I'm only managing approximately 7-8 hours in UA-cam playback and light web browsing at 30% brightness and volume in eco mode and 60Hz, what am I doing wrong?
I was glad to be able to get a 2022 Lenovo Legion 7 (with AMD Ryzen 5900HX & NVidia RTX 3080) for only $1,700+. The current pricing of high-end laptops is getting absolutely ludicrous.
Thats a great laptop too, I wouldn't worry about upgrading that for a few years. I have a 2021 model and its still going great.
Which gaming laptop would you recommend? That would be capable of handling pretty much everything?
i am not gonna wait ANOTHER year. i'm just waiting for march and buy a beefed up 2023 model for a lowered price. i've been procrastinating for 4 years now. my laptop had a gtx 1050ti. its OLD.
I’m holding on to my 2022 Strix Scar 15. The 3070 ti in it is still kickass. There hasn’t been a game yet that I can’t run at 1440p high settings at 60fps minimum.
