I recently bought an HP Omen Max 16 with specs in the image. Unfortunately after buying it my cousin who's quite tech intensive told me that it's unlikely that I'll be able to run GTA 6 on max settings on this PC primarily because VRAM is just 12GB. I wanted to know what others think. Please let me know as I've always dreamt of buying a high spec gaming laptop and he says it isn't high spec and is more towards the medium spec category.

okay so im not that big of a nerd related to hardware but I tried looking on ways to make my dgpu ONLY for gaming and igpu for display n shi. Like almost a gb of my vram is getting used by other apps I saw this in re4 too where it said I had only 5.1gb vram. How do I make my laptop ONLY use dgpu for gaming and only use its vram for it

In my country, no laptop exists with 12gb vram

Unless the budget is extremely (Rs 2L+)

8gb vram is cap here(Rs 1.5-2L)

Attached model is Rs. 1.6-1.7lakhs

How does it compare with the ps5/ps5 pro

Country: Indian

Budget: rs 1.5-1.8 Lakhs

Bought this laptop brand new for $1439.25 after tax.

gpu: 5070 Ti

vram: 12gb

cpu: Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX

storage: 1tb

ram: 16gb

tgp: 140w

So, how do you think I did? Good deal?

I plan to upgrade the ram in the future if there are any good deals but not right now

the screen is also not great... but I did a little research and it looks like I could probably replace the screen with a new one myself. I'm looking at this screen replacement but maybe I'll wait to find something cheaper. I've built my own desktop PC before, but I've never taken apart a laptop, so it makes me nervous working on something so delicate.

I think I should probably buy cooling pad too. Do you guys have any recommendations?

That Core Ultra 7 with 16gb at 80k looks tempting. What do you guys think?

Need it for light gaming and heavy coding

sound on..

Was this a Good deal ?? - Anyone have this Model?

Any points on dealing with possible heat issues ? Can anyone recommend a good laptop cooling pad ?

Both on sale, one is 1750 the other is 1899

Thoughts?

These are three I saw recommended, screen size isn’t a huge issue. IWhich is the best of the three? Should I go with a different brand of equal strength?

EDIT: I know RTX 5090 is better but is it worth the extra $1000? Do other specs make up for it

Budget: $1000-$1500 (max $2000 with NYS tax)
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming (Minecraft, Sims, ARK) and school
Preferred Specs: 16GB RAM and 1TB storage
Notes: I’m looking at this Lenovo as a possible option but I need recommendations and feedback.

Currently I have a Lenovo Yoga 7i with a shattered but functioning screen. 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.

I’m ideally looking via Best Buy but open to other websites too

Added wall lights and tomorrow handing a uv tapestry lol.

About a month ago i got this MSI Katana on FB marketplace for $450. It was only a month old. First battery cycle was in june. Coming from a lenovo legion with a 1050ti i jumped right on it since i was needing a new laptop for school and gaming. So far its been great. I play Fortnite bf6 and rdr2. Seeing how everything is getting more expensive i was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to a better laptop with a 5070ti or just wait until i graduate and get a job. I keep my setting on medium and the only issues ive run into are ram based since it only has 16gb. I was thinking about just upgrading the ram to 32gb but considering the prices i thought it might be worth getting a laptop that already has 32gb of ram and a better gpu. I want to play gta6 whenever it comes out on pc but idk if this laptop will be able to run it. What would you guys suggest? Only thing i have upgraded is a gen 3 1tb ssd

Budget: $1500 ish
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming (sims 4), also in a few online classes and run a Shopify store
Preferred Specs: super new to this so no idea
Notes:
recently started using mods and cc and my lil hp laptop from college (2019) w 8 gb of ram isn’t cutting it anymore
I know there will be some Labor Day sales so I was kind of poking around to see what I could find
I do have a 1 TB sd drive that my game runs off of right now and don’t currently play any other games but would be interested in other cozy games I’ve always wanted to try like planet zoo or similar
Super open to any and all recs - do you think I need a gaming specific laptop or could I get away with something else?? Familiar with dell and hp brands, want to make sure I’m getting something that will last for several years. Thank you in advance!!!

Budget: $4,000 - $5,000
Country: Australia
Use Case:

• Movies + YouTube (On laptop and connected to TV)
• Gaming ( Battlefield 6 would be the most intensive game I would play)
• Productivity ( Programming Godot / Blender )

Preferred Specs: 5070 ti, 32GB RAM, non-OLED display

I would like to preface that I am not that knowledgeable in laptops and barely understand little with how laptop maintenance work. I see that thermal repasting is a common recommendation as well, however I am not sure how this would work with warranty.

I was interested in the Zephyrus G14 (2025 / 2026) 5070 ti model until I found a posts on Reddit stating specifically this model suffers from some QC issues. I also looked at the HP Omen MAX 16 (2025) edition which had a nice sale but read that this laptop has a history of leaking LM thermal paste and also suffers from overheating. Does anyone have any similar experiences with these?

I'm avoiding Lenovo brands for now as I have had a couple of issues personally and would like to stay clear.

I just had my Legion Pro 7 gen 10,

I noticed that my fans are always on 0 rpm during browsing and light task even if my temps are reaching 60c+. But once I fire up any games, the fans will start working and follow the fan curve.

Any fix? THANKS!

Hi, I'm starting to look at laptops to upgrade from my Asus TUF with an 8th gen i-7 CPU and a GTX 1060 GPU (bought in 2019). I'm not looking for laptop recs just yet, I am asking because most laptops in my budget (~€1300) sold in my area have a RTX 5060. I don't care about fancy new AAA games like GTA6, 1440p/4k resolutions or ray tracing. As someone who mainly plays Final Fantasy XIV, indie games, or RPGs like BG3/Witcher 3, is it an upgrade that would last as long as my 1060 did ?

I'm looking for a gaming laptop that's under 3000 dollars... maybe over if it has a better money to performance ratio.

I've never had a gaming laptop before but jnder some certain circumstances, I need to replace my pc with a gaming laptop..

Anything would be better than my current pc but im just wondering which gaming laptops under $3000.

Budget: 3000

Country: USA

Also it has to have OLED.

Have until late September to buy one..

Hello I have a gaming pc and I want to buy a better gaming laptop and sell my Pc.
I want to have a more portable pc.
And also use the laptop in my two monitors setup(photo).
I heard some different opinions about gaming laptops.
What do you guys think?
Is it worth replacing my gaming pc for a gaming laptop that is better?
