    1:12 meant to say Triton 500, the Nitro 5 is plastic.
    The 2070 max-q version of the Triton 500 may also not have g-sync, it might be the 2080 max-q only.

      @Geo Tech News All in all I am very happy. I only tested one game so far, Devil May Cry 5 on high settings, on average I got 110 fps while gaming.
      Only 2 things I want to warn you about:
      1) The fans can be noisy even during non demanding tasks, such as watching a video
      2) The sound from the speakers is really really poor. They are place on the front bottom, which means that by placing it on any surface (a table, a bed and so on) will result in muffled sound. I am forced to use an external speaker. My 5-year old Asus laptop with B&O certified speakers is miles ahead.

      @@chayseferrier3793 ooh didn't get a noti. It's still an amazing laptop because it can run any game you throw at it and you'll still be able to play comfortably. And I still get surprised to this day how all of this power can be packed in a laptop. One thing though. This laptop has pretty good cooling (so temps will be 60s-80s depending on the settings you play on) but the thermal limit for the CPU is 75C. That's the biggest downside of this laptop. Unlike the intel variants, the amd version throttles at 75 from 3.2ghz to 1.98 ghz. It's not that big of a deal since it keeps the temps low but you will lose a LOT of fps in cpu demanding games like fortnite. I also recommend you to upgrade to 16 gb dual channel as the ryzen apu is ram hungry. And you'll need to optimize the laptop quite a bit because I find that stock windows settings are very stuttery in games. And one last thing. Since its a budget laptop, everything is made of plastic and can be broken pretty easily. I've NEVER taken this laptop out of my house (like to a library in a bag) and it's always been on my table. I only open and close the lid twice a day but the screen hinge still managed to break. (and that's mainly because its made of cheap material). So now I have to be very careful opening and closing the laptop screen but it still manages to stay upright. Other than that, if you're not going to take this anywhere and you're not expecting esport level performance (even though it can manage to get 130 fps in fortnite and around 144 in csgo), this laptop is great for you.

    I just got my Helios 300 last week, and I LOVE it. My model has the following specs:
    9th gen Core i7
    16 GB of RAM
    256 GB NVME SSD + 1 terabyte Hard drive
    RTX 2060
    144 Hz display, RGB Lighting
    Though I think a bigger battery instead of the extra 2.5 inch drive slot would have been a better choice, I still love how easy it is to upgrade the Helios 300 and the massive amounts of storage and RAM you can put into the Helios. And battery is still decent, still able to get around 5 and a half hours of use doing almost any other task.

      Since it has 2 nvme slots and 1tb SSD out of the box (at least mine configuration), larger battery would be far better choice and i is pretty much the only thing I would change on this laptop. You can always use external HDD if you run out of that 1tb (most people wont) if you are desperate and not willing to buy second ssd. Like seriously, who would use HDD nowadays when ssd is so much faster and relative cheap.

      @@eurovlad I have had it since May last year and its great. I do tend to put the fans at max whenever I play for extended periods just to be on the safe side as the processor can get really hot even with the now stock 0.10 undervolt. I wear sound isolating ear phones so the noise doesn't bother me. It stays reasonably cool with peaks of 96 degrees celsius while 'average' is around the mid eighties when playing titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 at max settings. The GPU doesn't much break a sweat when using max fan. Cooling just seems to work really well for such a thin light laptop.

What I have found by seeing the reviews and replies on Reddit, is that Y540 during normal circumstances or daily usage (non-gaming), the fan is not that loud, plus the aesthetics make it a better choice for me. Regarding, the Triton500, I have seen the reviews on Amazon, that it has screen blackout issues. Though I like Triton500, the reason being its semi-gaming design i.e. its between the Y540 (casual) and Helios300 (gaming) look. But that blackout issue is serious for me.

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  4 роки тому

      Cheers! Out of the box I'd expect the Helios to perform better, as turbo mode overclocks it and it's undervolted, but you can of course do these things yourself to the GP65, so it will probably perform similarly afterwards. It's hard for me to say differences in terms of things like thermals and battery life though, as I've never had a GL65 to test.

    Hey Jarrod, great video! Quick question, I was stuck in between choosing the Y540 and the Mag 15. The Y540 has worse battery life and build compared to the Mag 15 but the Mag has a noticeably louder fan. When gaming is there a large difference between the loudness of the two fans? Which laptop is better overall? Also, which laptop has the better thermals? In comparing the two screens of the two laptops, is there a big difference in quality and which one is better?

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  4 роки тому

      Thanks! Honestly I can't recall the difference in fan noise as I didn't use them side by side, so you'd be able to check by reviewing my videos on both. I'd go for the mag 15 if you want to spend more money to get the bigger battery, Thunderbolt, mech keyboard and SD card slot. I also can't recall thermal differences at this point, but yeah again you can refer to my full reviews of either and compare results as I've done the same testing.
