Lenovo laptops are such great bang for the buck this year, although I wish they had USB4/Thunderbolt ports on their midrange models. Seems that feature is exclusive to higher end laptops for Lenovo.
I just recently bought the Lenovo - Yoga 7i 16" WUXGA 2 in 1 Intel Core i7-1355U - 16GB Memory - 512GB SSD and it works wonderful for me.
Coming from a Razer Blade 15, I took a chance on an Eluktronics MECH-17 GP2 with the LPP. It has excelled in every aspect I thought the Blade was lacking for my use at a much more affordable price.
i still have my mech 15g3 from 2021 and its performing absolutely amazing still. Hasn't aged a day
I'm still on my 2020 Asus G14 with no chance to upgrade in the next few years, but I still love watching all your laptop videos.
Thanks I appreciate it!! How has it been hokding up?
@@MatthewMoniz I just need to clean the internals like every 8 months and it’s good to go. 👌🏻
Same, I've been using it nonstop for almost 4 years, even dropped it from 5 ft on the concrete, and it still works fine 😂
im still using mine from the end of the 2018😂
My favorite laptop this yeas is the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 with AMD processor: Pretty balanced specs, great screen and good price. The Framework 13 AMd is also a great choice if you need more portability than power.... I'd keep an eye on the Framework 16 next year.
Nice video as always. I want to ask that should we need antivirus in our gaming laptops. The pre-installed McAfee antivirus has expired, should I renew it or windows defender is good to go
Great vid which do you think i should pick with same price for 4-5 years legion slim 7 or zephyrus m16 both specs are same i some with not much trouble
Got a used 2021 Asus G14 for €780, R7 5800H, RTX 3060, 512GB, and most importantly 10 HRS OF BATTERY LIFE! This laptop is the perfect package for the price I paid.
I had light to casual use bought the Mac air m1, amazing value for money product totally agree with you
@Matthew I think you should fix that mistake on the 14 inch category. Everyone keeps asking you about the Legion Slim 5 14" Oled because you just put the 16 inch version in that category and the other is actually $1150 not $950. You should check your video before commenting on other's asking for the 14 inch version.
Wow amazing thanks for sharing!
Great video! I wish you did a category with stylus&P3 for creators, like digital artists :) and a category for upgradability with the Framework 13 in it :)
I think the MS Surface 9 pro is also a good option for a business laptop. Also, when considering budget or business laptops, Chromebooks and Google Plus should be considered too.
I am still using acer nitro 5 bought in 2020, it has 1050 with 3 gb dedicated memory, played a lot of games on it, including red dead redemption 2 and cyberpunk 2077. Previous year if not mistake the winner for best budget laptop was acer nitro 5. This year it is sad for me that they lost it
This is the fantastic video by Mathew with his mature and true opinions,sugessions regarding buying laptops. I am sure everyone of us would get help from his effort 👌.
Thanks for watching!
@@MatthewMoniz
Hey MatthewMoniz,
For how long will the M1 Macbook have the support?
Is it worth to buy and expect 5-6 years of support?
Also what do you think of the Galaxybook 360/ pro 360?
I like saving my notes on something digital now. But thought the Macbook with a pen tablet might/should to the work. Obviously it is not cool as the Tab s9 ultra wit it is features, which i also wanted to buy, but i think long term the money is better invested in a laptop.
Could you do a budget creator section next time? Like for maybe a hobby photographer or new UA-camr. Someone that dreams of getting a $3000 MBP16 one day but right now is just looking for something in the $1000 ballpark with good Adobe performance, good display, and decent battery life.
What is the best laptop if I need it to also have a lot of storage space? I'm talking 2TB or more if none come with this much then a laptop which has slots available for internal drives.
I don't see Rog x13 here? Any reasons? If included where would you put it?
i am confused between legion 5i pro and legion 7i slim which one should i go with for gaming
The Dell Latitude 9410 2in1 is a pretty good mac alternative if you can find it used, it gets 15+ hours of battery life and has ports/touch/windows
do you think the dell xps 13 is good for graphic design and regular video editing?
Hey Matt, did you get a chance to look at the legion slim 7 AMD?
I've got MacBook Pro 16-inch with M2 Max chip and what he said about battery life and workflow performance is true. I couldn't believe my eyes. I never expected such efficiency from a laptop.
It's tooo good
Hi Matthew, I would really appreciate if you could reply to this comment. I am looking for a trading laptop to view charts and run platforms such as DAS Trader, Sterling Pro, or Thinkorswim I did buy Asus Zephyrus G16 couple weeks ago but I am looking for a laptop with number pad. What would you recommend, please?
I'm planning to upgrade g14 storage with Samsung ssd 990 pro
I'm worried about the heat and you the controller side will it face the mother board !!
Good note, anyone looking to buy and is okay with purchasing a used laptop. Open boxed stuff is the way to go. I bought my Lenovo legion slim 7I for about $600-700. Usually retails for more than $1,200.
Buying open box is a roll of the dice. I bought an ASUS laptop that way and it was nothing but problems for the 3 weeks I owned it.
Wifi card updated and refused to connect me to the internet unless I plugged in. Screen flickering would happen randomly. And most importantly, it overheated after 45 minutes of gaming. The power brick was hot enough to scorch my floor. My house could have been burned down if I kept the thing.
So there could be a very good reason why the original buyer returned the product and you may find the same issues they did. Or it could just be that they decided to buy sonething else instead. You are rolling the dice with open box.
@@SeemsLogical oh yeah 100%, but that’s why I usually buy items from Best Buy with that return policy in mind and I also clean the unit and repaste the CPU.
As for budget, I'm personally a big fan of refurbished products. The do get reduced warranty (1 year or so) but the product itself is basically new most of the times. Here in Spain laptops are priced way too high and you get to appreciate these refurbished products. Got an ASUS TUF A15 packed with a 4060, R7 7735HS, 16GB@4800MHz and 1TB for around 900€, really happy overall. Amazing vid also btw!
Never had good luck with any refurb products in this space. I don't recommend it unless you're getting a massive discount.
I'm very much biased towards Asus scar mini led rtx 4080. But everyone's saying to go for legion 7i pro
May i ask a specific region where legion is better than asus
got a legion pro 5 with a ryzen 7 7745 hx 32gb ddr5 5200hrz 16' qhd 16:10 165hz paired with a rtx 4070. I got this setup for $2100 CAD. insane quailty and pricing right. noticed it sold out fast. I love this laptop. I couldnt justify $1000 cad more for a legion 7 with a 4080 and a bit better cpu
i heard AMD new 8000 process is going to be launched, and first laptop with that processor will be acer nitro 5,should i wait or buy lenovo loq
What do you thnik about the LOQ 15?
My question is why would I want a laptop? I can buy a cheap Dell Optiplex refurbished that has the efficiency of a laptop but with what option of supporting a standardized PCI graphics card.
Hi Matthew..have watched several of your videos...trying to learn about the specs I should look for for a much needed new laptop. Im an artist/illustrator/ surface pattern designer and also create teaching videos. I use creative cloud apps. Im currently using a 2015 imac but need speed storage ram and mobility. I would go 16" maybe even 14" with the ability to connect to a large screen. I would really appreciate your help! Thanks
That isn't enough information to give recommendations you should give the specific programs, this is too generalized. You should probably just use his mac recommendation since you already work in that environment so there's really no reason not to continue doing so if it works for you given the benefits you'll gain....so, yeah just do that...this is probably the easiest laptop recommendation, overthinking this stuff when you have something that works and can just get a better version....well, just get the better version cause overthinking it won't payoff.
@@Cerbyo thank you for your reply..I mainy use photoshop and illustrator. I have a desktop imac 2015 and need a laptop for travel that can keep those two apps and video running well. I would opt for the 14" M2Pro if available with the specs I need, but I dont know if it can connect to a large screen? If so, would it have to be a specific screen?
The rog scar 17 is fantastic. Is not crazy expensive and the performance is amazing. That and the razer blade 18 were my favs this year.
Ya AMDs X3D processor is a monster
The screen and ribbon cable position are enough to sink it though.
needed this video! transferring to a University and need a laptop
I am trying to write my thesis and the macbook air with 8gb ram really sucks. just chrome tabs alone can be enough to cripple it. once qualcomm and oems starts making arm laptops and they are some how afforable below 1000 usd... then we will have a real discussion about mac os vs linux on arm chips and I know what I am going with. Apple charges 200 usd to upgrade the ram to 16gb and I can get a 16gb ddr5 sodimm ram for 45 usd and 2tb samsung ssd for a 100usd.
There could be a segment for best 2 in 1 s
how are there no timestamps??
I think the 2 in 1 category has gone missing here on purpose? Or it’s something else ?
There should be a category for a do-everything laptop. Another for laptops / convertibles for artists. Otherwise, it is easy to overlook brilliant products like ROG Flow.
ROG Flow x13 / HP Spectre X360 / iPad would be my picks.
Do-everything laptop is an excellent category! That's pretty much why I went with a gaming laptop: productivity, gaming, media consumption, creative work!
@@MatthewMoniz Yes I was thinking of mentioning HP Spectre next to ROG flow as an example of the latter category.
Thank you Matt for your expert opinion!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!
What about the best pick for professional programmers?
Can you please tell me which one I should buy among these two laptops.
1) HP Victus 15 i5-13420H, NVIDIA RTX 2050, 16 gb RAM, 512 gb SSD, 144hz refresh rate (2023).
2) Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 16 i5-13500H, 16 gb RAM, 1 Tb SSD, 2.5K display, 120hz refresh rate (2023). 0:01 0:01
Hi guys..please I could use some advice. I have an offer right now to buy a legion 5 pro, 2022 model with intel 12700h and nvidia gtx 3070ti, in a barely used condition for $1050 from a private seller. I would like to know if that is a good deal, or if i should try to bargain more to bring the price down a little further, maybe below $1000.
What do you mean they nerfed the Asus RoG G16?
Surprised there was no Alienware X14 R2 on this list, great laptop.
I've had very good experiences with ASUS products, including a VivoBook S15 that is still running flawlessly since I got it in 2019.
Nice!! thats good to hear
Bro can you mention the Intel gen and year of this version model?
@@vatzvisionSure. It's a 2019 S15 S532FL with an i7-8565U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and discrete MX250 graphics.
Correction, Slim 5 14 inch is 1150 not, 950.
How about helios neo 16 i7 4060?good?
that x1 carbon 's Fn key placement is dealbreaker 10:21
Fantastic!. what do you think is laptop for youtube video editing under 500 dollars I wanna edit like 2 videos every week what do you think with a good amount of storage!?
Go for second hand macbook
Hey! In 14" gaming category you are showing us 16" Lenovo instead, that should be a mistake.
Hey why don't you guys mention the new PC laptops coming out like NEXT WEEK which might well change all of this, including prices on what's out there right now?
The ones coming out next week will be on sale but you probably won’t receive them until 2024
Another Amazing Video
You are the best
With no budget Legion 9i for the win! I love it!
I just got the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X for a heck of a deal...$899...Ryzen 6900HS 32 GB RAM and RTX 3050...and you cant beat Costco's return policy if you dont like it
Great Review, Can you give us the best 2 in 1 laptop, for me its the best choice and I am still confused about finding the best one with the best innovative and battery life and all this factors.
I really like the hp spectre x360 but it depends what you’re using it for
Nice video. I think it's fair to say the M16 is better than the Slim 7... but it also seems to be quite a bit more expensive. I paid $1930 CAD for my i9/4070 Slim 7i while the M16 seems to run about $2500 CAD at best for the same config. I think the AMD/4060 Slim 7 in particular is a great pick for lots of people at $1300-ish USD.
For that price id go wit the slim 7i as well!
Is the Lenovo yoga 7i (14in intel) on sale for 600$ with 16 gigabytes of ram, Intel i7 1335u, Intel Iris Xe graphics good for a student in middle school?
Absolutely!
Thank you for answering my question
Legion Pro 7i with RTX 4080 🔥
No HP Omen 16 in 2023? This year it is a very solid gaming laptop! I have one with a RTX 4070 and Ryzen 7840HS.
The OMEN 16 is ok. The build quality is not as good as Legions unfortunately but of course if you can score a good deal on it that changes everything.
Can you please give me the laptop that you are not using, I'm a student living in London Ontario.
I got the Legion Pro 7i and the laptop is EASILY the best value per performance if you want an RTX 4080 on your laptop. I’d highly recommend it to anybody.
Did you laugh your ass off 'listening' to the built-in speakers and frown furiously at the IPS display? Bot much
@@Cerbyo Imagine actually making a comment about laptop speakers like you’re not gonna use a headset? And the display doesn’t have to be an OLED/MiniLED display for it to be good. Stupid much?
How expensive it is? I am also looking forward to buy this laptop but it costs more than 2000AUD right?
The price you showed for the legion 5 is for the 16 inch version not the 14 inch that one goes for 1150 on best buy.
I was gonna say that. That 16 inch version should've been mentioned in the other category
In Germany you have to AT LEAST double those price tags
Loved your reviews on laptops all year Matt! Was able to get the Blade 14 4060 for $1400 on Amazon used on black friday, I've had pretty good success with their used laptop market and can go environmentally friendly/reduce E-waste. The temps while gaming on it have been fantastic, just wish they went even higher with the battery increase
Thank you!! That's also a great deal!! I'm glad you're enjoying the Blade 14 its a solid laptop
Value Winner. $699 Best Buy - Lenovo - LOQ 15.6" Ryzen 7 7840HS with 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB - 512GB SSD. this combo performs better than most 4060s at $250 less. 7840HS is one of the most powerful processors out right now. powerful with a track record of reliability
Unfortunataly didn't get a chance to review that one
The screen on that one wasn't too good though right?
@@Morasby correct, for better screen you would go with the mid winner I posted
@@lgnfve yeah that's a killer laptop ngl
The Intel one is better
If price was not a factor which 16 inch laptop would you recommend
watch. the. video.
HP Zbook G8 or G10 perfect for engineers..
HOW ABOUT ASUS G16?
Lenovo is quite ubiquitous across all the segments we have here..damnn
G14 is an engineering marvel. It's such a wonderful laptop. Have you been using it for 6 months. It can deal with it anything that I have thrown at it from productivity to running code to Blender and games. It has been pitchh perfect. On top of it, it has great battery life and portability, which is amazing given how powerful the machine is.
I was going to buy MBP M2, but I am so happy that I went with G14.
Which colour do you have
@@IamBatman.02 I have the white one.
@@AbhishekChaudhary-uq4xodoes the white version gets dirty with time
@footballfan200 it is easily cleanable, and if you clean it weekly, then it will remain stain and dirt free.
How's the fan noise? And does the machine heat up
Is LENOVO the best laptop Maker of the year?? Many of the videos I've watched always seem to recommend a Lenovo whether it's for gaming, office or general home use.
Ya for PC's id lean towards Lenovo overall for 2023.
@@MatthewMoniz Why? The IPS displays are horrible looking. ROG probably has the best looking IPS displays and they still are meh. The speakers are a comedy sketch. The trackpad is....I don't understand how this is acceptable for any trackpad..u cant even use it with the keyboard it freezes up periodically(a problem with lenovo laptops for a decade if not more). The keyboard is nice....the arrow keys awkward though for coding/typing/writing idk if u can get used to it personally mbe u can(good for keyboard gaming tho.....but few games use it and fewer 'need' to use it). Couple it with cooling issues and disgusting velcrove strap it ships with and the fact u can't even place it on your lap. It's only for people who move between desk setups...it's a tower u can put in a bag.
weren't you using legion slim 7i?
Yup! Still am for gaming/work but if its strictly work travel I use the MacBook Pro 16
no slim 7i
thanks bro.
You're welcome!
Please add chapters!
Bro you showed the 16" version of legion slim 5 in the 14" gaming category
WHY for crying out loud if the ASUS ProArt Studiobook never featured on these categories, i mean it ticks of all the boxes
Where’s the best 2-in-1??
I wish it was true, but unfortunately, the Lenovo slim pro 9i only goes up to 4060, not 4070. great video though...
You are correct
I choose Asus ZenBook 14x for every category. 😅
I will never regret on legion 9i. Spending that much bucks...was a real consideration but I am really happy.
I think Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14 deserved to be included
And it was
@@MatthewMonizit was not, you picked the wrong laptop in the video. You had the 16 inch version for 950 when the actual 14 inch oled is going for 1150 at Best Buy.
I don’t know how you can recommend the Lenovo Legion 9i with the Advanced Optimus issue where the screen will lose half its brightness when you turn Optimus off with the Mini LED screen and also the Acer Predator Triton 17x is way better than the Lenovo legion 9i paying over 4.5k for a laptop with a screen issue and not even a high refresh rate screen for that price and gen 1 low speeds with usb-a ports also just average/low sd card reader speeds and the screen is only 16’.
Also I don’t know how you can recommend the Zephryus M16 when in that very thin chassis even with a third fan its thermals aren’t good and loses out on so much of its performance potential.
So right now at bestbuy, the Zephyrus G16 i7 RTX4050 QHD is $1399 (CAD) if you shop outlet, that's a great deal for a 16 inch laptop I'm guessing
did you not listen to the video? He talks about the G16 in this video and in other videos. Look at the fine print of the G16 specs, they are literally scamming you.
@@Cerbyo how so? Excuse my ignorance, I am just learning.
Gaming laptops awards
legion slim 7i
hey matthew i have a request for you
can you get me the asus a16 i'll pay you 729 as here in India the prizes are crazy
please matthew
suprise there's no legion slim 5 14inch
suprise there is nice try
@@MatthewMonizthe price you put is for the 16” inch from Best Buy
No zenbook duo or zenbook pro duo or zephyrus duo
Those are unique dual screen laptops of 2023
I'll take price into consideration... proceeds to select a mac.
9:28 Don't forget, everyone, that Acer has continued to do business with Russia after being the last laptop manufacturer to say they wouldn't: www.reuters.com/technology/taiwans-acer-ships-computer-hardware-russia-after-saying-it-would-suspend-2023-06-08/
A source familiar with details of the shipments, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue, said Acer's products, including PC monitors and laptops, continued to be shipped to Russia after April 2022.
The company told Reuters it was possible that importers in Russia sourced Acer devices from third countries.
Acer's Russian unit, in response to emailed questions, said "nothing has changed" since the April 2022 statement.
An officer of the subsidiary did not respond to requests for comment sent via WhatsApp.
Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs told Reuters that it does not comment on individual cases or specific companies.
Russia's Ministry of Industry and Trade did not respond to a request for comment.
Wow Asus zephyrus g15 was the best and g16 is the worst, how?
Why I feel like this video has been sponsored by asus
Editing videos on laptops...seriously can't seem to watch a review video without this niche use being used to rate laptops. I'll take fan noise and shorter battery life just to avoid macOS... no problem.
Weird thing is that despite intel dominating laptop availability and design wins, somehow AMD managed to gain MS 😂 I guess those handhelds sold really well
Tx matt
You're welcome!
I feel Asus tends to sponsor the laptop reviewers.
You know you can just ask? No this video is not sponsored by anyone
Know that asus will come with wierd issues that you wish giving lenovo 100-200 $ more for stability
