so much this
gaming laptops aren't a bad deal like they used to be
they are powerful and well built from the manufacturers instead of pieced together by some amateur
ditch your desktop before it becomes a headache and just start gaming with the reliability of a laptop

Shitty bait thread
Gaming laptops are memes and always will be
Don't bother replying to me, you have already lost every argument against this simple fact.
you're all posted outdated information from gaming laptops from 10 years ago
MODERN laptops don't have these issues and you're just fooling yourself and wasting money and time by going by these outdated concepts
>breaks down
>can't replace parts
how exactly did it solve the problem shill?
>MODERN laptops don't have these issues and you're just fooling yourself and wasting money and time by going by these outdated concepts
Acer is still using cheap Niko mosfets.
ASUS is still making low quality VRM designs where they die all the time because their gimmick all in one VRM chips.
Lenovo just sucks cooling wise.
HP is HP.
Dell still has moronic DRM on the charger and cooling its meh at best.
look at this kino cooling
Not exactly "kino" but its not bad, SSD is lacking cooling but i like the M2 splitter.
>DRM on the charger
What the frick even is this?
You can only use chargers from Dell, no 3rd party ones.
Wait, so their laptops have no usb c charging options at all?
They limit it to 65w or at least used to
DRM in places you don't expect isn't new.
HDMI is literally DRM and degrades quality if it's not sending to an approved display.
>High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation[1] to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Types of connections include DisplayPort (DP), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as well as less popular or now deprecated protocols like Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF) and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
>In order to make a device that plays HDCP-enabled content, the manufacturer must obtain a license for the patent from Intel subsidiary Digital Content Protection LLC, pay an annual fee, and submit to various conditions.[5][6][7] For example, the device cannot be designed to copy; it must "frustrate attempts to defeat the content protection requirements";[7] it must not transmit high definition protected video to non-HDCP receivers; and DVD-Audio works can be played only at CD-audio quality[7] by non-HDCP digital audio outputs (analog audio outputs have no quality limits). If the device has a feature like Intel Management Engine disabled, HDCP will not work.
You will own NOTHING.
Dell will limit the speed to the lowest possible (Usually 400 or 800MHz) and will refuse to charge the battery if the EC/Super IO doesn't detect the charger ID.
Note that the charger ID chip dies all the time inside the charger and in the motherboard.
Also the cable used for the chip is like 32 AWG so it breaks all the time.
Dell also has DRM on which SSDs and RAM it will allow on modern systems.
Spoilers: It's unmarked Crucial parts.
yes laptops definitely don't have very limited space for airflow
you stupid c**t
i have a 2022 gaming laptop. it cooks itself so bad i cant even play newer games the laptop can run
Laptops are shit but you might want to try changing the thermal paste.

ah yes the world famous pc building expert dave merklehein
Why would someone call themselves a 'PC building expert'? It's like a skill you can pick up in an afternoon, all that cable routing and fan placement autism/elitism literally doesn't matter.
Literally every nontrivial aspect of existence takes more knowhow than building effing PCs. Like fixing your bike.
Strange. I've built 3 computers in my entire life, and the only issue I ever had was my CPU fan dying
Same and usually you just need to put oil in the fan which i bet 99% of people don't know about.
excellent
> I'm moronic so everyone else should wear moron hulk gloves just like me!
How do you break a desktop beyond pouring water on it? It's not difficult, literal children build them, 90% of the peices just snap in and everything comes with a manual and online video guides even my grandpa could follow.
I assume he bought AMD
It's more common with new builders, they assume all electronics are created equal and have no frame of reference on reliable brands. Therefore they buy the cheapest parts and are shocked when caps pop or some other consequence of cost-cutting kills their system. If you have the OCD you can avoid that stage by thorough research, but in any case someone who supposedly has 20 years of experience should know how to build for reliability.
he has a closed loop water cooler, that's a huge failure point right there.
Thats just water...right?
where do you live that has opaque green water?
No, refrigerant is often dielectric.
>Water cooled system
I thought it was gamer water
>he doesn't cool his system with mountain dew
>makes anime noises as it squirts
never understood why people like to use fixed piped instead of loose hose, not only is every single joint a potential failure point, you also increase the stress on said joints with fixed tube
Be honest with me Ganker. Is water cooling actually worth it when shit like this can happen?
Liquid cooling has to be the biggest moron trap I swear
There is no reason a nonprofessional consumer would ever need, let alone benefit, from one
I mean, I can see the advantage of it: temporary spikes in cpu activity are absorbed better by the water and dont cause fans to speed up/slow down because your cpu has crossed a fan curve point for a moment (which is something I've had happen a lot with my 3900x until I changed fan curves to basically ignore any minor spikes in temperature until 70c or higher for 5 seconds), but the comparable failure points are just too high for me to consider it properly.
>pump failure isn't something you can immediately notice, and is pretty much guaranteed to occur, probably within 5-6 years
>mounting it wrong kills the pump much earlier than normal
>water leakage can just kill everything
>performance degradation due to inevitable liquid evaporation
Compared to a standard ass cpu cooler where if a fan is on its way out, it's usually noisy as frick, and chances are you cpu cooler has 2 fans on it anyway so it'll still be cooled, just worse than before with an easy fix. In saying that, I've had noctuas running for almost a decade straight and they still run just fine with no failure in sight.
I own a gaming laptop. Please don't fricking pretend that it's the right choice for everyone.
I needed a single PC I could bring with me so a laptop was the better choice but I won't act like this is going to be everyone's use case.
It is worth mentioning that the majority of people who read that article probably lack the technical ability, tenacity, and troubleshooting skills necessary for PC building (and don't give me that Lego building meme bullshit because you know that doesn't apply to the average moron) so in that regard this is probably decent advice for many
>laptop breaks
>can't even replace the parts
yeah nah op is moronic
I’m not OP nor am I a laptop gay but wtf are you talking about lol
>gaming laptops
Literary for schoolers. Here, let me list a few reasons why gaming laptops suck dick hard:
>Tiny ass monitor built-in along with your lap, constrain yourself to low height since that monitor can only be set along the table, no arm or monitor stand to adjust it.
>Anytime you use high-power applications, it'll heat up all components, including the keyboard because the manufacturers trade good ventilation and cooling capability for mobility aka you gimp yourself.
>Hence parts and components will wear down faster since they're all way overheat and throttled.
>Then parts and components will break down, needs replacement which you have to go to the manufacturers of that laptop's brand directly. Replacement from the aftermarket is hard to come by and likely with a short cycle time in production.
There are just a few points. I can go on and on about how hard and limited to upgrade compared to a normal PC.
GO FOR A REAL PC AND BUY A NOTEBOOK FOR SCHOOL STUFF, LAPTOP GAMING IS A SCAM.
*always, frick me.
I fix computers for a living, Laptops are the worst.
Lead free BGA was a mistake that makes all laptops unreliable then there are the badly designed VRMs without cooling in 90% of the laptop that will throw 19v to the CPU once they fail killing the CPU or GPU for good.

No thank you.
it takes like an hour to make sure none of those things are problems. can you tie your shoes?

To fix a laptop you need:
Bench PSU: $40-500
Soldering station: $50-500
Hot air station: $100-400
Good flux(Real amtech flux not chink vaseline): $20
Multimeter: $20
Leaded flux: $10-50
Thermal camera: $250-1000
Replacement parts or Donor boards: $1-10 per part and a week or month waiting for it to arrive.
>i've spent 20 years failing to learn how to build pcs
No, I don't think I will.
or get a clue and learn how to build desktop pcs yourself.
literally the only reason you'd want one is that you're constantly on the move/do not have the means to carry a desktop computer when moving places (somehow?)
it's very simple logic that the reduced, packed build of a laptop comes with huge drawbacks that cannot just magically be poofed out of existence
ITT: Cope
I bought a 2017 Gigabyte GAYMING laptop for about 650 quid in 2018 because the salesman in the store wanted to off-load the one he was using and get the latest model on his staff discount. I've had 0 problems using it aside from the HDD eventually dying and needing to be replaced, which took less than 10 minutes. The 1060 6GB and i7 6700K have both held up surprisingly well despite being downgraded due to laptop specs and I'm only just reaching the point that I need to upgrade now. When I'm at home I just plug it into a cheap 23" 1080p display I got from Facebook marketplace and use a normal mouse and keyboard. When I'm visiting friends in other cities or moving to a new country (done 4 times since buying it) being able to put it in a normal backpack has been incredibly convenient compared to needing to worry about shipping an entire case+monitor+peripherals. There is no reason to buy a desktop PC unless you are desperately concerned about price:performance ratios and are utterly convinced you will not moving within the next 5 years. As such unless you have a mortgage or are a NEET you'd be remiss to not consider a laptop, especially considering how overpriced GPUs are at the moment.
PS: Upgrading for Starfield and Darktide, but mainly looking forward to the jump in performance that 7 CPU generations and 3 GPU generations will bring.
I have gaming laptop and the biggest problem is CPU heat
undervolt and turn off boost
it will last 7+ years
I don't care about it lasting 7 years, but some games start stuttering after couple hours.
I bought this last night
>3060
>3060
>laptop one at that
going with those integrated graphix amd chips would unironically be just as good
Huh, laptop 3060 is actually almost as good as desktop version, of course it depends from laptop to laptop because they have different clock speeds.
Literally outdated 2 years before you bought it
What should I have gotten for $1200 with 2 tb of storage, 32 mb of ram and a 3060 RTX graphics card?
I think I still have that ancient wallpaper somewhere
Should i buy a legion 5 with 3070? The come with ryzen5/7. I want to buy, but at the same time i think they should drop in price alredy, since 40xx cards are out already.
My gtx580 build is still going strong at my grandparents place. CPU cooler is a closed system and still work fine. Haven’t opened it up since I built it.
I bought a cheap gaming laptop for around 600 Euro but only to use it for emulating old games up to PS2 and gamecube. Not interested in modern games.
show me a laptop that has
>8TB+ NVMe
>128GB RAM
>GPU performance on par with a desktop 7900 XTX/4080
>7950X3D or better CPU
>doesn't overhead like a motherfricker under any kind of load
>less than $4000

No further comment required.
>Just stick the cpu in
>Why doesnt this work
I knew journalists were morons, but surely he could have worked this one out
To be fair, doing that with a simple bios settings reset should be all that's required, no?
Yeah, all he'd have to do is download the latest bios from the manufacturer site, f12/del into bios, install the update then install the cpu. Takes longer to unscrew the computer and install the parts than to update.
in theory, couldn't you even just skip the step of installing the update first? I know new mobos are capable of booting with no cpu present at all, so wouldn't booting with an unsupported one result in the same end state?
I havent encountered these yet so I cant say. You should always check motherboard, bios and cpu compatibility before throwing down for parts anyway

>After my rig broke again
I've been tinkering and building my own PCs since the 90s and can count the number of times something failed on one hand. Also working in IT the failure rate of even enterprise-scale computer fleets is still very low. This homosexual is just doing things wrong.
if you want a gaming laptop, don't buy a gaming laptop. buy a refurbished productivity laptop with a decent CPU. it will be able to run / emulate all of the good games of the yesteryears. you will have more fun than trying to find a machine that won't melt itself trying to run the latest AAA slop
I've built 2, first my GPU died and because I hadn't upgraded in like 5 years basically the whole lot was out of date so I built another new PC without a GPU because they were overpriced at that time and scarce stock, then before I could get the new GPU my old CPU cooler started to fail so I replaced that and then finally got a new GPU since then I've had no problems.
Honestly there's really not that much that can go wrong on a PC?
>cpu - you will know about it
>hdd - you might start to see odd crashes in games or other things just run SMART and see how it looks this is how I caught one of mine before it outright failed, RDR2 kept crashing and not playing right turns out the HDD had bad sectors
>ram - same sort of problems as HDD, but I've never had them, you can run a RAM tester to check though
>PSU - it won't turn on so replace it
Other than that the only problem might be high temps but generally when I build the PC, first thing I do after start up is stress test it for 30 mins and if the temps don't stay cool then I re-do the thermal paste, once my temps were hitting over 100 very quickly, turns out I had the CPU cooler bracket on wrong it was 90 degrees off, when I put it on right max temp was in the 60s / 70s.
Its just a learning experience really.
>building a PC for 20 years
Sounds like a cascading failure of building a pc instead of starting fresh.
As someone who's too lazy to build a new desktop, DON'T buy a gaming laptop. Its performance is pure shit, it gets hot enough to melt the fricking sun, and it's way more expensive than just building a new PC. Don't be a moron like me.
I own a desktop and laptop of equal power, I travel just enough that it's nice to have both.
The problem with my laptop is that it's a lot harder replace parts or even try to fix it. It case is almost completely locked down and it feels like I'm breaking something when opening it up.
I can save old parts like my PSU, case, storage drives, monitors, input devices, and whatever else when I upgrade my desktop. I have to fully replace my laptop when it's time to upgrade.
It's possible to find replacement laptop parts but much harder than desktop parts and you pretty much can't upgrade most of it other than storage and ram (if it's not soldered).
Dunno this would be my recommendation as well if you are a normie or a casual gamer. Recent gaming notebooks have decent cooling + the fact that GPUs have gotten more efficient, you can get a laptop that can compete with midrange gaming PCs for like $200 more.
As for upgradability, it doesn't matter that much, if you care, buy one with replaceable RAM and dual NVMe slots.
Yeah you won't be able to upgrade the GPU, but CPU upgradablity is suspect as well, Intel tends to put out a new CPU socket every year, and you'll lose compatibility when DDR6 rolls out anyway.
If you're a normie or casual just buy a fricking console. Obviously you're just going to play unmodded triple A and FortCraft of Duty.
what is that, a screen for ants?
just buy a console at that point

>It's fine, the experts all agree
Intel CPUs for being shitty and AMD CPUs for going full moron with the X3D cache.
Ryzen CPUs have a extremely moronic CPU layout under the die, its almost time to go direct die and get rid of the IHS to improve cooling.
Ryzen CPUs have a extremely moronic die layout under the IHS*
For example Noctua is redesigning the heatsinks to cool the bottom part of the CPU since that is where 90% of the heat comes from.

You'll never get to fully utilize a gaming laptops specs as they'll overheat easily which leads to them throttling perfomance in an effort to cool down
just throw a bag of frozen vegetables under it and its good to go.
I agree people who can't help but frick their own shit up due to sheer moronation should stick to pre-made computers that don't give you the option of upgrading parts down the road so they won't be tempted to break their shit again.
It's only worth it if you have a traveling job.

What do you do. That sounds pretty fun, but something that gets old fast. Do you make it a point to leisurely explore/experience the places you go to most of the time? International or domestic only?
What the frick do they mean "my rig broke yet again"?
just tech illiterate morons not knowing how to fix basic computer issues so they throw the whole things out.
I've got laptop with 3070 during mining boom because I had no pc at the time and it seemed like a better deal. Ironically GPU is the strongest thing about it. Lots of power. no throttling, stable temperature in full load. Good stuff. But I can't tell the same about ryzen CPU. 5800H is literally a bottleneck in some games which pisses me off. I just don't get same frames as I could with something like 3600 + 3060Ti. Probably going to build PC again because I want to play some FPS and my shit drags.
Funny how it used to be GPUs that are the worst part of gaming laptops, but now it is CPUs.
I got CPU problems with my laptop too

There is no reason to build a PC when you can just buy a laptop, buy an external fan, and just leave it there, at your desktop forever until it dies.
The only laptop that has ever failed me before the 5 years mark, had an Intel CPU. Never again.

I had my 480 8gb die after 5 years… or so u though, i read some comments that the thermal paste was poorly applied in my model; changed it and gave it 2 extra years of life. Bought a 3060ti this year i can play Vr and 4k with no issues on it. Plan to keep it around for at least 3 more years.

There's a reason he calls it a "rig". It's a juryrigged monstrosity he threw together without even looking at a QVL or touching BIOS settings and never bothered to dust or perform regular maintenance tasks.
High likelihood all those 20 years were just him making a new hodgepodge "technically compatible" piece of shit, where the mystery lies in how it functioned for so long in the first place as opposed to why some part recently failed.
Cooling.

Please don't be racist against Apple users.
They are valid human beans just like everyone else.
I periodically build an entirely new computer every 8-10 years and never bother with upgrading existing parts so all that money can just be applied to the new one.
The worst thing about every gaming laptop on the market is the terrible anti-glare matte displays they try to sell as a feature. You're supposed to play games on them but they decide to put a coating on that makes everything look dull as frick.
Which gpu is better in terms of performance?
6650 XT in rasterization and certain titles, but the 3060 has DLSS and will likely remain the 'target card' for most of the generation.
The 'cynical practical answer' is the 3060 since the 4060 will probably end up performing worse.
Just got myself a memetop with 3070ti and 1440p IPS screen with 165hz for under 1k and slugger, I'm maxxxin errthang while lazing in my bederino and basically, ur fkn stupid

maybe he was just unlucky, but the only problem i had so far was my cheap psu not being able to actually deliver the advertised wattage, dont cheap out on the psu guys, believe me.
parts have fell down during assembly and another time when i tried to change the cooler, my cpu straight up fell and its an am4 too, nothing happened and my rig still runs as good as the first day.
I actually owned a Gaming laptop for a time. It was nice for the convenience when I needed it but I don't know why you'd buy a laptop if you don't need the mobility in some way. Buy a pre-built at that point from someone like Cyberpower or something.
>trust me, pay more for less
which laptop manufacturer do you think paid him off for this article?
Most laptops these days perform about the same. But I'll give you that they are a bit more expensive. When I bought my current computer a couple of years ago I was pricing a laptop along with it and I would have paid about $150ish more. Considering I also needed a monitor as well I guess you could say it's about the same.
I'm not convinced
Herb for techlet shit. Gaming laptops will always be an overpriced meme used to scam kids.
>my rig broke again
Autistic hands wrote that article. My gaming computers have never "broke" and I use them for 4-5 years, build a new one and give my old one to my son.
I definitely wouldn't recommend it over a PC, but we have reached a point where hardware gains have been outpacing software requirements for quite some time so a gaming laptop should be a lot more viable than it was in the past. It's why the Steam Deck is viable and able to play many brand new AAA games well, whereas a 2010 equivalent would not have been able to play very many, if any, 2010 AAA games.
>a 2010 equivalent would not have been able to play very many, if any, 2010 AAA games.
They could, it was just expensive. My $1500 laptop played pretty much everything from that time period and only couldn't play AAA starting from Doom 2016.
Laptops cost like $500 more than a desktop for equal performance. Mainly due to the heating issues all laptops have. You buy it for the mobility to play at work. That's it.
desktops are for virgins.
laptops are for sex havers.
I'd rather be able to easily service my own machine if I have a part fail. I've built 3 computers over the past 15 years and only had one or two parts die that I replaced. My previous computer actually is still a perfectly good gaming machine it was just starting to struggle with games at 1440p.
>Rig broke again
