7:47 since you’re not talking about gaming laptops in this section, surely the best 14” laptop is the MacBook Pro. It’ll be faster and have longer battery life than that HP, not to mention a better screen, touchpad, speakers and keyboard. Plus it will be cool to the touch, will not lower performance when unplugged and have no audible fan noise during regular use.
I personally did not use any Macs this year so didn’t want to include them. But I do agree that the MacBook Pro 14 is an excellent choice. I bought a Mac Mini to test and I just can’t will myself to doing the video. I don’t like MacOS personally
ive read that next year snapdragon will be 30% faster and have a way better on board gpu,add to that probable surface refresh(early 2026) with oled screen,dream laptop.
I agree surface 7 15 inch x elite 32gb is (by far) the best laptop Ive ever used( I used desktop with 4080 for gaming). I bought the surface after your last video on it.
Love hearing that. Also makes me scared too that people make expensive buying decisions based on my videos. I don’t take that lightly. But glad you’re loving the surface laptop
thank you i will go with px13 (13inch of p16 model) 1. Because i can buy it with promo -10% off 2. I dont see how will I use 16inch screentouch panel (that also doesn't flip 180) 3. I want some portability 4. I think its well budget compare to my second fav Blade 18 with thunderbolt 5 4.1 I think blade 18 will not be long call - because for far future (next gen) games I will need to change all set to play at good setting and framerate. And thunderbolt 5 egpu will not save me. 5. 4070 option I hope will be enough being in the middle of ps5 and ps5 pro, so I will play some GTA6 and KCD2 (and 60hz display dont much bother me because most games and youtube videos will run with this specs (btw battery life will be better) and for rest i will find gaming 100hz+ monitor for cheap 5.1 And due to nice tdp package and how close gpu and cpu are combined on motherboard I expect nice speed of data transfer Maybe I fear that it will be loud and too small. But I got to wear headset all the time; and after 2.4kg macbook pro 16 - i'm done with walking everywhere with this this weight. mac air out of the option - i think its outdated and I want some games. If not games i will look for 14icnh mac pro m4 - Because its way better new surfaces with terrible small trackpad. Dell xps is too expensive. And generally I hate how much windows using sources for slim laptos - its always feel bad to work on windows with slim laptops (snapdragon too fresh i think and windows is terrible with troubleshooting - but haven't touch them). Sad asus haven't made 14inch 120hz unflip, no touch, glass haptic touchpad (like dell xps or mac), 4080-4090 of this - that will be a dream to buy. All other gaming laptops that maybe have better sounds, specs and PRICE - just not for me because I hate that terrible cyberpunk desing with rgb. also i think on sales: asus tuf 14 4070 will be even better that zephyrus
As in this Current moment saving for a new powerful laptop I think I’m going to buy the Asus Strix Scar 18 (2024) laptop or the Legion 9i would love to get the Alienware m18 as it has the same power and wattage output to the gpu as the Titan a full mechanical keyboard compared to half the mechanical keys of the titan 18 hx 20TB of SSD Storage compared to 24TB of SSD Storage on the titan and nearly half the price oh and better build quality than the titan literally all Alienware needs next year at CES is to launch a Mini LED or OLED bright screen than the Alienware m18 will be the best most powerful and the most affordable laptop if it just had a brighter better screen please Alienware if you’re reading this!
Alienware!!! If you want me to cover your laptops, you need to have better displays. I covered the m16 as a fluke and found myself liking it a lot. But have a hard time recommending it because the screen is mediocre
Please compare intel core ultra 2 processor vs Ultra 1 processor laptops in real life heavy usage like video editing etc... I'd like to see how Galaxy book 5 pro 360 performs wrt older devices.
I did a dedicated video on the channel recently. A lot of them can be used on any windows laptop since it's just windows apps. In the windows store search from Samsung and see what apps you can download. I did it with the buds app and the mirroring app with the tablet. But I felt it worked a bit better on the Samsung laptop
I bought the 4080 g16 with 32gb of ram for $2300 and the out the box performance was honestly horrible even after updating all the drivers. Had to completely uninstall armoury crate and installed g helper which helped but I feel like the performance I’m getting is not what I expected. I played Fortnite on performance mode and all low settings and I’m barely getting 300 fps I just want to know if this is normal or is there a bottleneck somewhere I’m not aware of
Which Laptop is Best for Architects in Early 2025? For an architect on the go using Autodesk programs, rendering engines like Unreal Engine or D5 Render, and graphic design software, which laptop gives the best bang for the buck?

Sounds like you're doing heavy GPU stuff. I have the proart and it's great for my day job which is number crunching and also making UA-cam videos. But for you the Legion might be better because of the 4080. But you'll need to be plugged on mostly and when you go on battery expect 4 hours orcless
I haven’t used a legion 5 in 2 years that’s why I didn’t mention it. But it’s a great option to get a legion 7 pro type package for less money. I’d say go for it.
@Not26416 the pro is smaller and has a vapor chamber for better cooling. But not noticeable once you turn on a game. And it’s the 4070 so it’ll be running mostly at 115 watts anyway. I think you made the right choice .
superlight has a very meh mousewheel, its completely unuseable for gaming I have had to unbind it from games entirely, it literally skips or fails to read its own knotches sometimes. the mouse is overpriced to the max. if it had a better mousewheel and all the bells and whistles it sells separately....sure whatever. that said its form factor is very nice on the hand, the clicks r solid, the limited side buttons r impossible to press in alot of games without ruining your aiming, but good for normal work. I use it daily cause its the only mouse I have right now, but oh my gawd does the scroll wheel annoy me sometimes. It's a good scroll wheel by logitech gaming mouse standards....so u got alot of ppl praising something terrible for lack of not knowing what good is. i dont want to give logitech any more money and their fanbase is just stupid so its no longer they keep getting worse. how do you design a limited button mouse that screams "fps shooter ideal" that has an unuseable scrollwheel and sidebuttons u can't press while aiming...typical logiteh design. the time delay to touching the mouse wheel is very noticeable, the delay is fine for normal work tho and just pressing mouse3 its fine honestly....but idk who this was made for honestly. the charging cable being made into a frankenstein that u can't use to charge anything except the mouse....why do u do this to ur consumer.
the logos on the mouse wearing off after a few weeks...typical logitech stuff. mine says "_uperLi.n..". in my heart of hearts its reading 'superlame' tho
I actually don’t use the scroll wheel much in gaming so I get your take on it. And I’m by no means an expert on gaming mice and I hoped I made that clear in the video. I just bought it on sale from Best Buy a while back and I really like it compared to the razer mice I usually buy.
thanks for the uploads

Amazing review love it by the way I'm still watching the video though, at that time, I am commenting this.

How many extra amsung ecosystem features are there compare to the normal Windows laptop?

Did you mean to say the Legion PRO 7i?
Yeah I kept forgetting to say the pro part
How is your netflix running on your Proart. Any fixes?
What was the issue again? I remember there being a comment about this but never had a chance to look into it
Nah...best 14 is zephyrus ...tripping with that choice of yours 😂
Thoughts on the Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX9 16" IPS QHD+ 240Hz (i9-14900HX/32GB/1TB SSD/GeForce RTX 4070?
I haven’t used a legion 5 in 2 years that’s why I didn’t mention it. But it’s a great option to get a legion 7 pro type package for less money. I’d say go for it.
@@consumertechwarehouse thanks mate, mine is on the way, about to receive it soon. I struggle to understand the differences other than the GPU
