Jarrod, which thermal paste is the GOAT for gaming laptops? If money is no object and all that matters is purely longevity and low temps, which one is the best in the market for laptops that we can repaste with?

i bought the acer helios 16 last year, 13th gen I9 and 4080rtx with the 250hz micro led screen. Besides predator sense being buggy with other RGB programs and my temps were high before I disabled intel turbo. It has been an amazing laptop, great build quality. I was able to pick it up on sale for 2100 on egg with retail being 2799 usd. One thing I did notice that it doesn't seem to be frequently restocked especially the 16 inch micro led version.

[@rikeshmaharjan350]

I bought this laptop with i9 14900HX processor with 4060 graphics. I am little concerned about the heat as the CPU tends to go to 55-70 degree Celsius while just using chrome or doing minimal task. Is this normal. How do you disable intel turbo ?

Very good performance in games is not a coincidence. The 330W power supply helps achieve this. The good thing is that it is not limited by a weak power supply. You can always use PD on the go 👌

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

My previous TUF laptop had a 240 W charger and the battery drained when CPU + GPU exceeded 150 W. This laptop is drawing more than that so it actually might lead to drain with a 240 W like Jarrod recommended.

[@elderman64]

The 330W power supply won't even increase the performance by 1% over a 230W one. The chasis just being big and a good thermal design is what gives it the performance

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

@@elderman64 Correct but it will lead to the battery draining in 3 hours while gaming if it's drawing the 170 W it is. Manufacturers never let the CPU and GPU consume the full wattage of the AC adapter. My Legion 5i Slim 2022 would have battery drain if the power went over 140 W with its 230 W so I returned it.

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

@@elderman64 I've gone through 4 different gaming laptops from different brands and had battery drain issues with every single one. It's definitely not a specific model issue, just a limitation of gaming laptops. I'm not saying it ruins the experience, but that people should have option to get a big power brick if they want the best performance without ruining their battery.

Recently purchased a Laptop that has been a pain ,returned twice to the supplier after the keys started falling off while using. This was fixed and first time I switched it on it would not boot so returned again. Asked to change brand and decided trying one of these after a few friends who had 2023 versions had given good reports. Certainly won't be returning to Lenovo anytime soon from my experience and this laptop has after my short time with it been spot on. My first Acer and though I game mostly on the desktop I will happily return to this thread if it gives me any trouble.

[@KiloByte74]

I think NVIDIA set the voltage limit low for the 4070, similar to the 4060 and 4050, because these GPUs are intended for thin and light laptops that have limited thermal capacity. The 4080 and 4090, on the other hand, were designed for larger laptops with better cooling capabilities. Despite this design intention, OEMs often opt to use the lower-powered 4070 in larger laptops to maximize sales, even though these systems are better suited for the more powerful 4080 and 4090. This decision is driven by profitability, as the less expensive 4070 GPUs sell more units, generating higher revenue for OEMs

[@joelconolly5574]

Cleaner design, more powerful build and a bit more compact. Now that's a gaming laptop worth a purchase.

hey jarod I hope you reply I have a max budget of $750-800 and in this budget I was confused of getting a laptop from these 3 1. Nitro 5 with i5 12450h and 4060 2. New Nitro V with ryzen 7735hs +4060 3. aero 14 OLED with i5-12500h +4050 I had also considered other options like gigabyte g5 and loq but backed off because gigabyte has terrible build, thermal and speakers and for loq I HAVE HEARD THAT THE MOTHERBOARD is failing on 13gen laptops please guide me would appreciate your help and btw awesome video have been following for more than 1/2 decade

[@spiritofpostpunk7207]

Ryzen is better

[@cameronbosch1213]

Loq is actually fine. I would go for that or the Nitro V.

[@KiloByte74]

Please avoid buying low end laptops especially low end gaming laptops, for your own good, if only you knew how bad some of them can be. Low end "budget" gaming laptops are notorious for having terrible build quality (i.e. hinges breaking, terrible screens that's so dim you can barely see how bad it looks, etc...), Horrible thermals design that constantly over heats and have extremely low power components that struggle to play even light games on lower settings. I once had an Acer Nitro 5 and one day the hinge literally blow up and break the screen it wasn't fun to deal with... If you want to use a gaming laptop that can actually handle playing games I would avoiding anything that's below a 4070 and an 13th gen i7 and if you plan on doing any intensive productivity tasks or playing any triple A games then you would need at least a 4080. I got decent a gaming laptop for around 1900$ for christmas and even with a laptop that's way beyond the low end ones your looking at it still has some big issues. My advice to you is to get a higher tier laptop I would personally suggest a laptop with a 4080 or a 4090(make sure you get a laptop with a 150W version). With 4080 or 4090 equipped laptop you will get desktop-like performance (I have a gaming laptop with a 4080 and I can attest to this). I have an Acer Predator laptop with a 4080 and I've never had any issues with running games smoothly. I would suggest you avoid getting an Acer laptop because I've had some issues with mine and I've heard that their laptops aren't good and instead look into a Lenovo or an MSi such as the Legion 7i and Legion 9i or one of MSi's higher end laptops such as their Raider or Titan line-up.

[@Quan5021]

the fact that I can max out the fans like that is great because of the low 70c temps and headroom for a overclock and that means I wont need to get janky with extra fans on the bottom to lower temps (the typical method of just using a cooling pad isnt as good as putting small laptop size blower fans with intakes directly over(/under laptop) the cpu and gpu. Using a cooling pad that just blows into the bottom or suck a lot of air will just mess with the internal fans and ideally you wanna be to use both)

guess I'm kinda glad I decided on this laptop. havent played any games yet since I just spent half a day yesterday setting everything up and installing games. but even while just watching youtube and setting it up I noticed the upgrade from my old Acer Nitro 5 from 2019. the screen looks incredible for what I'm used to and its way quieter. the only thing I liked more about the Nitro 5 is that the keyboard feflt more clicky. this one feels a bit softer, but I'll get used to it no problem. I got mine for around 1500€ with the 4070 and so far I am very satisfied. I dont care too much about the portability issues.

@@rikeshmaharjan350 sorry to say this but the i9 version is probably the worst you could buy of this laptop. the i9 famously gets very hot and is way overkill for gaming and most casual applications. but if it calms you, I am right now as of writing this comment in performance more (I always forget to switch it off), just watching some youtube and have discord open and my CPU is at around 50°C to like 65°C. I think thats pretty standard operating temps for laptops without cooling pads. With the i9 I'd be more concerned about its temps when it really gets going.

I bought this laptop with i9 14900HX processor with 4060 graphics. I am little concerned about the heat as the CPU tends to go to 55-70 degree Celsius while just using chrome or doing minimal task. Is this normal.

Hello everybody I want to ask what do you guys recommend razor laptops or the wire laptops.? And which brand laptops are good for a long-term Thank you

[@AdamGamingARK]

I do not recommend razer blade, they are the worst in terms of quality control my 14 inch razer blade gpu died,yes the rtx 3080 died after 1 month of use and it gave me error code 43, it happened to many people in reddit for some people the gpu didn't die, but the battery exploded, search razer blade battery bloat, you will see hunderds of reddit posts about it

[@herdelherrera6067]

Can you review the asus zephyrus g16? Want to see your opinion on it

[@sankalparya6861]

pls also test predator helios 16 and compare it to neo 16 and tell the differences :D

[@KahnJsu]

Can it do undervolt? I read reddit, among all HX processor just Acer can't do UV, is it true?

[@shivam2730]

I like the old blue weant designs

Does anyone know what program Jarrod uses to create his bar graphs? They're so clean.

[@JarrodsTech]

They're just done in Excel and then copied into Photoshop to save as an image.

[@pzark3638]

@@JarrodsTech appreciate it 👍

[@oceansraze]

Hello Jarrod can you please review Acer Predator Triton Neo 16.

[@mrshopper4846]

Now realizing that Jarrod says "Wifi 6E card" instead of "Wifi sexy card" and in my defense, i thought that way bc wifi 6E tech is really good this days. Great video as always!

[@dolordonpanda]

Hey jarrod is tongfang planning any new laptop model with the new ryzen ai 370 hx/360 cpu

[@sherlockholmes870]

Hey Jarrod we need a handheld vs laptop Like the one you did before Rog ally vs rog stuff or something I bought a several Ally's because of that Video 😂😂😂❤🎉

Is there any way to align your screen's output to the top of the screen when running a 16 by 9 resolution on a 16 by 10 screen??? (I've been searching for this for years)

[@none3242]

Sir, how to control fan speed and keyboard lighting of this laptop by using linux e.g Ubuntu ?

[@josh_uz1520]

Can it be undervolted?

[@silviofigliuolo2955]

hi, i have a question about the cpu wattage limit they introduced this year, is it limited to 60w also the i9 14900hx version ? hope someone can answer

[@MrIssa2021]

I'm not interested in a laptop anymore since I got my own desktop PC, but this guy's voice is cool.

[@TeodorStojkovski530]

Yo bro can you help me should i get a laptop with i9 12th gen and 3070ti or ryzen 7 7735hs with rx 7600s?

[@mr.owatson9150]

Does this laptop have Bluetooth? It's not listed as having Bluetooth capability on the sites I found it.

[@JarrodsTech]

Yes it has bluetooth

[@rollin5452]

Does the Helios 16 (non-neo) has the same build quality with this model of neo 16? I see they are similar in design.

[@JarrodsTech]

We haven't had it, but have briefly had hands on with it at CES - they felt pretty similar in that regard, both were nice, just a bit of a different visual design.

[@yuvrajsingh099]

When is snapdragon x elite laptop review coming?

[@Smart_boy2001]

I don't understand, why you don't benchmark laptops with 1600p?

[@70dark]

I wish the Predator software offered FAN CURVES and not static RPM settings Anybody knows a third party compatible app coz I can't find any that works with this (using 2023 version)

[@michaelxaviercanonizado7931]

How's this laptop long term? I heard that it's not the best in terms of it. I'm looking for a laptop that could last like 5-10 years. I'm okay with dealing with natural aging signs. But not unnatural things like it suddenly shutting down or not turning on. I heard that acer laptops don't last long. Is it also true that Asus and Lenovo laptops are better in this situation?

[@surendharank3128]

I don't know about Asus but from what I have heard about Lenovo, their products have good longevity.

[@danielc04]

I have a Predator triton 300 se laptop and it's battery degraded to 36% in one year of use, very disappointing in that regard

[@michaelxaviercanonizado7931]

@@danielc04 Exactly my point. There's so much longevity issues with Acer, even with their Helios 16. This is the main reason why im quite hesitant on buying from Acer

[@hirschlord341]

Its the best for 2000€?

Can someone please tell me where the microphone is and how to turn it on?

Why do you only review neo version and not the better one helios 16

[@joiboiii]

neo 16 (2024) and helios 16 (2023) is the same laptop, just refurbished and added rgb logo and diff lightbar
