This vid helped me do big girl computer stuff on my own which I’ve never done before, so thank you!!😊

[@p3t3mit]

Thank you, friend. Took me 20 minutes, everything worked a charm. I didn't even bust the plastic.

[@alegreviews]

Congrats, now it is much better

[@blackraven85_1]

I don't know about calling it a cheaper model when the 2024 laptop is 979 dollars. I just bought it and the model can handle anything I threw at it. Very capable for a mid-range.

[@alegreviews]

$600 at Walmart + RAM 4050 is basic videocard of new generation, desktop’s bottom one is 4060 which is probably closer to laptop 4070. And desktop CPUs are like level and a half above. It can handle stuff but it’s kinda basic. There are some cheaper ones for $500 that have 3050 or 2050 but that will be much slower

[@MrCalarie]

You just bought it for $979? Return that asap. Walmart has this exact laptop for $600.

[@blackraven85_1]

@@MrCalarie Actually, I didn't pay $979 and got it for the discounted $623 because of state tax added 23 dollars. Got it at Walmart during the school sale. I was talking about the actual cost of the laptop

[@riverwalkhomebuyers]

It's 599 at walmart. Looks like the only real corner they cut was the RAM amount. Build quality is solid.

[@blackraven85_1]

@@riverwalkhomebuyers Exactly. Even then I am able play Hellblade 2 and a lot of games on max settings. The only game I have a problem running was Witcher 3 at Ultra settings with RT. I was able to do it on High with RT.

[@ww2069]

I have same pc and got 8 gb ram added for now. I only pay $20 so real cheap!! Later I will go 32 or 64 down the road. Love it!!!

[@MrTurtleThief]

I just completed my RAM upgrade a few minutes ago. Here are my thoughts: 1) There's no way I could've unhinged the plastic prongs without my new prying tool. I also had used the mini screwdriver to hold each corner up to be sure they wouldn't click back into place, but I was just nervous. I suggest getting the prying tool rather than the mini guitar pick ones because the leverage is so much better and it's around the same price as the 10 packs of picks. 2) When inputting the RAM sticks, insert at a diagonal and gently push down until it clicks into place. I got two 16 GB sticks to be sure 100% they are compatible (anyone want my extra stick from the build lol). I didn't insert the second one at a diagonal before pushing down, so it didn't click into place. Removing and reinserting was a hassle. 3) Unless you are also replacing the SSD, there's no setup once you turn it on. I'm pretty happy with my purchase, I'll be using this for college so I'm glad everything worked out. I choose 32 GB of RAM to be 100% sure there's no issues in the future, but I don't see the need to increase HD space with cloud storage. I'll probably only play a few games at a time on here anyway, so I don't mind reinstalling games.

[@alegreviews]

Yep. I agree, good job. I used just my nails to open 2 of these.

[@babaswrld8239]

Which 32 gb ram did you get ? And from where

[@MrTurtleThief]

is the RAM stick from the build 8GB??

[@babaswrld8239]

@@AngelxAngel no it’s 2 sticks of 16gb so adds up to 32 gb when installed

[@mikedave4376]

Just got the Victus 16 2024 model and the specs are a Ryzen 7 8845hs and a RTX 4070 with 16gb ddr5 ram for 899 from Best Buy!

[@alegreviews]

Yep. That’s the cheapest RTX 4070 deal. It’s amazing

[@TrueBlueMajikDewd]

I just got this and slammed in a 32GB myself. Playing RE4R on high settings at 60FPS and it's using 62% of the RAM. This is a real good deal for the price.

[@alegreviews]

Yep, in some games 16gb is not enough. With 32gb - you ll never ran out of RAM

[@DrcuriousYT]

I see at Best Buy they have the same specs as you but with a 4070, for about 899

[@alegreviews]

For 900 it is best gaming performance. Awesome deal !!! Only downside is 512GB SSD

[@alegreviews]

I took 8GB from one of them and put into another to make it 16GB. And I put 2x16GB Crucial 5600 into the first one.

[@johnathonready9347]

Bought the laptop today from walmart, and ordered a 16gb stick off amazon. Gonna rock 24gb of ram for now, and eventually get another 16gb stick and a 2tb samsung drive. The ssd in the laptop is miles slower than the one on my desktop, and its been kind of a drag. Its also annoying seeing this thing cap out with only a few tabs open with 8gb of ram, I havnt had this little in a decade.

[@alegreviews]

8gb of ram nowadays = send email or play roblox. SSD speed generally doesn’t slow down anything by much. Unless you copy from one to another. I tried to put games on samsung 980 pro and on old SATA SSD, wasn’t noticeable difference. 24gb might be just enough. Just see if anything needs more - and if not - just stay at 24gb

[@johnathonready9347]

@@alegreviews I’d get a Samsung drive not only because of the speed, but 500gb is just not enough for really much in today’s world. But as far as the 24gb of ram goes, I may stick with it lol.

[@alegreviews]

@johnathonready9347 I absolutely agree

[@fuentesjuanjose90]

I got a Lenovo loq for the same price in best buy the other week had 8gb ram and 512gb. Upgraded that to 32gb of ram and two nvme ssd of 2tb for a total of 4tb good deal.

[@DodiSmokin]

So I’m thinking about getting one of these with the 32gb ram. Should I boot up the system first and do Everthing before installing the ram ? Or can I do it before I boot it up to avoid redownloading windows or something ? Idk I’m new an answer would be very much appreciated

[@alegreviews]

It should not influence Windows. But I like to do it before first powering a computer

[@DodiSmokin]

@@alegreviews ok thank you !

[@EmuManGo]

Can u please demonstrate the performance after upgrading to 32gigs

[@johnathonready9347]

Toasty bros did a good video, they only did 16gb though. Its a huge performance difference, it takes away all stuttering. Also makes warzone playable, and lets Fortnite get triple digits.

[@shahrammaleki4532]

I just bought this. I want to use it for some last gen games and light VR. I know it won't be a powerhouse. Do you think I'll notice any difference with 32gb of ram? How about if I add a 16GB stick for a total of 24? I want to play Star Wars Squadrons, hopefully in VR, Halo Infinite and similar titles

[@alegreviews]

8gb - bad 16gb - good 24/32 might be a bit better somewhere Adding 16 might be a good idea, so it costs twice less than 32gb and makes it 50% more ram than 16gb. And those a few extra GB might just what you need

[@Phoenix-jd4yf]

Hey i was wondering if you used it with its original windows install or did u do a clean installation? Ive heard online its better to do a clean install to remove bloatware from the laptop but im curios to hear your opinion before i do anything EDIT: also a video comparing the 16GB vs 32GB would be nice as im still considering if i should get the same 8gb stick from ebay or buy a new 16x2 set I got a score of 4239 on Furmark (8GB)

[@alegreviews]

I m not really into testing. They won’t show any difference I think. It’s a matter of programs/games you have on, if RAM is enough - it’s good, if not enough - lagging, freezing - very bad. Clean install is more work, I only do it if I swap the SSD. I remove a few dozen apps after Windows installation and that’s good enough. Otherwise I can recommend clean install only for really advanced users who know what they are doing.

is possible to add 16g ram to the 8g ram of the laptop?

Yes. You will have 24gb. Better to have matching sticks. Just make sure that added RAM is 5600 and good timing. Don’t buy cheap non name brands. Get Crucial or better

How is the ryzen 5 8640h different from the ryzen 5 8645hs? I found the same laptop but with ryzen 5 8640h

[@alegreviews]

If first 3 numbers are the same - 5 in the end just means it is a bit better than 0. Just a bit better variation, I think usually a little bit higher speed. Maybe 5% difference in benchmarks, not really gonna be noticeable.
