If the laptop is not charging fully it might be the battery protection mode. It only charges to 80 % to prolong the lifespan of the battery. When you first use it turn that setting off then discharge and recharge the battery completely to calibrate the battery and get maximum battery life
Cooling performance and over all performance wasn't all that different. I'd still say I prefer the older unit, which didn't look as nice, but was as solid as they come and had a better screen
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a video on the legion? I’m currently debating between the legion 5i 2024 with an i7 and 14650 rtx 4060, and a legion slim 2023 with an i5 13450 and rtx 3050. Any idea which would run cooler and less loud in general? For light to medium video editing use
Depends for which model For the rtx 4060 models then the loq is better The 406l in the cyborg is not fully powered not and doesn’t have a good performance it’s just overall not worth it Also avoid the gf63 it just sucks
I got a low with rtx 4060 512 bg of ssd 8 gbs of ramen and rtx 4060 Alongside with a i7 and the same processor as you Are there any motherboard issues with this gpu and cpu? I’ve also heard the battery is horrible lasting only for 1-2 hours are there any problems so far?
The question I have is on cooling. I've wanted to get a gaming laptop for ages, but I despise having to use cooling pads. How warm does it get when gaming? It looks like it has good cooling, but it's difficult to tell with on-paper specs alone.
They all get warm and all benefit from a cool pad. The only real reason to go for a laptop is to have the convenience of mobility. If you are going to be in the same place 99% of the time then get a desktop
@@evetechtv Thank you, I would only ever use it for travel, when I have to visit someone for a weekend, or a week, and my PC is much too difficult to move around. I was hoping to get this bad boy, but only if the cooling is working well, as a cooling pad has often proven to be to either be too cumbersome, and an annoying point of failure.
@@GrandParzival It should be fine as all our tests were done without it but no notebook really runs in the 50 degree range. If you're happy with mid 70's which is perfectly fine tbh for its life time then get it

Did that twice and still had the same problem - previous model we reviewed didn't have that issue so was kinda weird but thanks for the advice!
@@evetechtvi tried charging it until 87% and it lasted for 3 hours while in full charge only max at 2

Much lovemy brother. Awesome as usual.

Im looking at y'alls store
What date of manufacturing are these?
Thanks for making this clip. What would you reccomend as far as the loq 2023 vs 2024? Does the 2023 run cooler due to different ram arrangement?

so this is better than msi cyborg?
Depends for which model
For the rtx 4060 models then the loq is better
The 406l in the cyborg is not fully powered not and doesn’t have a good performance it’s just overall not worth it
Also avoid the gf63 it just sucks
is there an AMD equivalent to this? let me know brudda, also have you encountered any problems with the laptop rn because of intel?
I got a low with rtx 4060 512 bg of ssd 8 gbs of ramen and rtx 4060 Alongside with a i7 and the same processor as you

I’ve also heard the battery is horrible lasting only for 1-2 hours are there any problems so far?
Battery is small but dependent on usage you can get like 5 hours or so. The chassis/MB hasn't given major issues afaik

Not at all! Right now this is the choice for bang for buck gaming and work so you've done well!
@evetechtv what about the processor issues, is it true? Do the motherboards really malfunction and stuff?!

@@Hardwork773 thanks, which laptop within this same spec and price would have a better battery
Generally the Intel Ultra series have the best performance vs battery life but also run up a lot more in price
Looking at this laptop, though I’d like to see how it ran a graphics needing game such as beamng or msfs
It should destroy in those titles no issues xD
@ amazing!!!! Now just have to explain to my parents why I should also upgrade to a Logitech g29…..
Hi I wanted to know if you could upgrade the ram and ssd I think you said that ssd can be upgraded but I didn't hear anything about the ram
you can
Yes you can upgrade RAM as well 100%
Would this handle running GSpro 🏌🏻♂️
It should be more than fine cause the base requirement is a 3060
I want to choose between LoQ 4060 and msi 4060 b13vfk
All the same but which one is better
The LOQ is cheaper in terms of upgrades so i got for like the best offer during this end year sale
Bro i bought a msi laptop last day. I'm a noob because it's my first laptop. My question is what percentage should i start to charge my laptop? And should I fully charge it at 100%?

Is the motherboard issues real i am so worried that after ibuy it it dies
i heard its mostly on the 13th and 14th gen
So far our tech hasn't had too many issues afaik
Is there any motherboard dead issue ?
Not in our experience
Is normal a little yellow tint on the screen?
Yes that is a side effect of IPS generally - does give a little bit of glow

Hello, is there a coverpanel in the back for the USB's?
Nope
Can we run LLM models with billions of parameters in loq-15irx9
