I thought by watching this I might be convinced to go gaming laptop over desktop... I don't think I'm impressed with either of these. This is very informational, even if it didn't lead to a sale. Thank you.

[@Z4J3B4NT]

I have no idea why anyone would buy a gaming laptop if the only place they use it is at home, nor why would you expect a gaming laptop to impress you over a desktop. Either you're uninformed or delusional, which makes your comment that much worse. I work seasonally in another country and I go back and forth about 3-4 times a year when I'm free for a month at a time. Buying a gaming laptop for home usage is the equivalent of buying a mountain bike to go to your neighbors house. "I thought by watching this I might be convinced to live in a trailer instead of my house. But I don't think I'm impressed with these trailers."

[@emomorph]

@@Z4J3B4NT for example if you don't have place for a desktop

[@Z4J3B4NT]

@@emomorph If you don't have place for a desktop you should either clean up the place and rearrange furniture or keep your priorities straight and try to make money for a bigger place instead of spending €1500 on a gaming laptop. I lived in a small 1.5 room apartment with my girlfriend and we had 2 computers. Mine was hooked to a TV because of lack of space. Then we went to work to Austria and worked 4 seasons there and we sold the place and bought a 3 room one. At the end of it I had a 5 year old computer and I could afford a new apartment and a lot more, including a gaming laptop. Don't stroke your cock on the internet and you'll have everything you need.

Great video dude but you should add undervolted and overclocked results for both laptops since almost everyone does that and not many people just use a stock laptop without any undervolting and well the y540 will perform better than the nitro 5 when overclocked and undervolted(since it performed better than the helios 300)

[@randomesteven3935]

'Almost everyone does that' is not a true statement.. Many are afraid of what it will do. Many understands it but do not want to temper with their own hardware. Many just buys what manufacturers offer and stay away from tuning to 'ensure longevity of their machines'. And many more look to reviews like this to see what their hardware can do out of the box. If he adds those variations and the average consumers buys these and uses them out of the box, they will be disappointed, and go hunting on the web to do these tuning. And if all go awry, they will be panicking as to why it doesn't work for them.

[@JarrodsTech]

Undervolting is definitely niche. I did include undervolted results in the thermals, assuming you're talking about game performance I'm always going to use best stock settings. I do cover a few different games with undervolt/overclocks applied in the full reviews though.

I have the Y540 and it is much cheaper here in Croatia than the Nitro. Same price difference like in Australia. I got a 3 year warranty and I used it twice now to get a new charger... 2 charger replacements in a year. The charger just dies and I suspect it has something to do with the high performance power plan in Windows. But on the up hand I got them by mail in 2 days time from my repair service. First time they got a look and the second time it just took an email to get one. Other than that it is really a mean machine and it performed above my expectations in almost all games except Cyberpunk... But then again, it is Cyberpunk we're talking about. Lenovo Vantage is a fantastic piece of software and I'm honestly surprised you didn't delve deeper into it. Great review brother.

I bought the 17 inch y540 and I'm loving it. Simple aesthetics but with great performance.

Nice, good to hear!

When we talk about KZbin viewing in battery life test, how does that translate in regular use (tabs, Word etc.) ?

*Question:* For programming or running some VMs, is the Y540 a good choice? Or is there more options? *Help :v*

Should be fine, I did those tasks until recently on a much lower specced machine without issue.

What about 3d design, AutoCad, Revit, etc. Which one do you recommend?

With the same GPU doubt you'd see major difference one way or the other, that said I have zero experience with any of those apps.

Pls do review of Acer predator triton 300 ..and one suggestion pls also do compare the budget segment of the laptops i5 9th gen GTX 1650 as most of your viewer are students and can't afford the high range laptops..thanks

[@JarrodsTech]

I'm trying to get it, still waiting on Acer to have it in Australia.

[@laserspewpew_7175]

Watched lots of your videos dude and helped me narrow down what to get. Had both of these on my shortlist. I’m also in Aus so with Lenovo throwing in some good discounts I went with the Y540.

[@Dev.Naliapara]

This is the best reviewed video ever on yt

[@Abhi-cb7eh]

Can you do a video on Predator Triton 300 vs Legion y540. Also Triton 300 vs Helios 300. It will be so much help if you do.

[@JarrodsTech]

It depends what specs I get the Triton 300 with, still waiting on Acer to have one available to lend me.

[@normaldude6699]

Nitro 5 is veryyyyyy cheap compared to the y540

[@JarrodsTech]

Depends on your country, in some places it's the opposite.

[@japzone]

Yeah, Lenovo's US website seems to have a sale or coupon every other week. Plus they have fast free shipping if you're ordering a pre-built SKU.

[@Savager98]

In my country, they have almost same price

In Turkey Y540 is about $300 more expensive. No idea why

[@TomaszKrokosz]

Thank you very much for this video. I am exactly at the point of deciding which of the two laptops I would choose. Despite being a Lenovo fan (right now I own a Lenovo Ideapad Y700 I think I will switch to Acer Nitro 5. The lack of fan speed control is one point. The other is the two M2 slots. And here in Poland the Nitro 5 is cheaper. Thats enough for me to choose the Nitro 5. I really appreciated how professionally you compared the two products taking into account a lot of theoretical and practical data. Once again thank you very much.

[@JarrodsTech]

Thanks! Yeah sounds like the nitro 5 would be the better pick in that case 👍

I do like it it’s a good laptop after about 3 to 4 hours of use it begins to heat up. But I think it’s still a good laptop.

Previous month I managed to pull my first five figure check ever!!! I've been working for this provider using the internet for 2 yrs now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most important thing about that is that I am not that tech-savvy, they just required standard insight into internet and plain typing skill...The best thing about this gig is that now I have more free time with my family. I am able to spend quality time with my friends and family and look after my children and also going on holiday break with them very frequently. Don't ignore this opportunity and make sure to respond rapidly. Let me show you what I do... *worth48­.­c­o­m*
