FIRST THINGS to do with your New Gaming Laptop (Tips and Tricks / Setup)

[@jimprix179]

Love the simple caption videos mate. They're interesting in a way that no other youtuber does.

[@Mr-Nuke.]

Thank you, Crimson Tech, for saving me from that building fire!

[@crimsontechyt]

HAHAHA hey no worries my man 😎🤙🏻

[@blazecutter0076]

Awesome video bro. I picked up the Asus Tuf A14 during December because of your review and love it!

[@crimsontechyt]

Heyy awesome, hope you enjoy it! :D

[@Just_Chicks]

Why don't you have 50k subs? You deserve so much more. I wish you the best cause your videos are great. Keep it up👍

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you so much! :)

[@MisF1998]

Perfect timing! I just had my very first gaming laptop. These tips are so helpful

[@TrusteftTech]

A couple from me which not all will agree with. First plug in the power cable to the laptop, then to the socket. Not the other way around. Unless you have a good reason and know what you are doing, don't install Geforce Experience if you have a Geforce card. You only need the drivers for the GPU to work. I know you already mentioned this, but it is so important I thought to mention it again. In your laptop's energy manager application (whatever it is called in your case), make sure to enable battery conservation mode so that after the first couple of cycles, your batter is not charged fully, if you are constantly plugged in. This will prolong the life of the battery. My Lenovo's battery from 2014 is still fine... For Mac users who switched to Windows' laptops. Unlike Mac laptops, 99.99% of the laptops out there need to be plugged in to operate at full performance. Else you will get reduced performance out of your laptop. Man...the first few seconds of this video is just perfect. Showing exactly how people (I) feel when you get a new laptop/computer, at least as long as you are not some pretentious ahole. Thanks for the video, I am sure it will help people. Also, guys get your games from GOG if you can. They have an optional client if you are sick to your brain to want a client, and their games are all DRM free. Save gaming and your sanity.

[@tvandever2010]

Thanks for the tips. Always useful.

I bought this laptop last week.

[@Amdofficial2]

I am goona get the msi thin15 soon this will help alot

[@samir.p240]

My helios neo 16 i9 is cmng tommorow lol. . Great timing 🤟

[@goldcoast8549]

I recently bought a G14 and I am loving it. Gaming performance has been a massive improvement over my previous laptop and battery life does seem to be way better than the alternatives. While away from a powerpoint, what are the best settings to ensure the battery will last as long as possible? My school hours aren't exactly long, I don't use the laptop in every class and I reckon it'll be able to last if I'm just using the basic Microsoft Word, search engines, watching the occasional video, etc. (and yes, this purchase has very much made me extremely broke lol)

[@Mossy_ribbit]

Thanks for the vid! Im getting my first laptop (lenovo loq 15' gen9) in about a week, and i was wondering what your opinion on system images is. Should i use a software like macrium reflect? And should i do this before or after updating lenovo vantage and windows?

[@CurryMuncher16]

i got the same laptop for a week now Performance is good just the battery is mediocre

[@aritzz10]

As someone who just got a new gaming laptop yesterday, I find this to be a lot helpful. Thanks a ton!

[@BenjaminRosen-ey2vo]

Great vid, don’t know why you didn’t mention to put screen resolution, refresh rate to max and turn of the assisted aiming for mouse’s in settings

[@amelyatech]

[@antonshynkaretskyi4077]

A very good video, keep it up! What's wrong with logging into Microsoft account right away and having Teams though? I can stand behind rejecting all the tracking features, but what if I have to use Teams? :D Never noticed it eating up all my ram.

[@TrusteftTech]

Well if you know you are going to use teams then obviously you are not going to uninstall it...right?

[@crimsontechyt]

It just makes sure you dont **start** with an aleays-online account :) You can always add one later, or log in to MS Teams seperately (same with every other app)

[@KinoAkina]

What percentage of max charge should I set my battery limit to?

[@crimsontechyt]

Healthiest is 80-85%, but if you use it a lot on battery, you might want higher

[@burbanana]

slightly off topic question: which laptops in the recent year do you think have the best touchpads? I need one that feels really good, not feel cheap / rattly / loud. Just want a satisfying and comfortable touchpad that is not a macbook lol

[@crimsontechyt]

The G14/G16 and Surface Laptops have the absolute best ones imo (In terms of quality). The TUF A14 and ProArt PX13/Flow X13 have the same touchpads as well, which feel VERY nice

[@burbanana]

@@crimsontechyt now there is hoping that there will be an x86 surface laptop 7.. Seems like only for business somewhere this week..

[@crimsontechyt]

@Burbanana Yeah... The Dell XPS lineup (or their new naming scheme) has some of the best ones too, but i havent tried them yet

[@burbanana]

@@crimsontechyt so Ive heard, Dell is just laughably expensive for what they offer + intel core ultra is whatever. If you dont want a 1200p 16gb XPS, better pay up 2200 euros for... a nice looking laptop I guess..

[@crimsontechyt]

@Burbanana Yep, exactly that xdd

thank u

[@DVei80]

Is it safe to use the cmd promp feature when first opening all the latest laptops? Cause I wanna buy asus g14 2025 model 😢

[@TrusteftTech]

You mean for skipping the online account for Windows 11? Of course, why not?

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, it's perfectly fine :)

[@DVei80]

@@crimsontechyt I know, but will windows home disappear or lost because it's not directly linked to the account?

[@DVei80]

Sorry that I'm completely a newbie at this thing.

[@TrusteftTech]

@ No, Windows will not disappear or stop working.

[@HuTao-q9r]

I hope you by new zephyros g16 and test that like before you do by last year model

[@crimsontechyt]

I will! :)

[@BanterYT]

Are there any third party software that works to stop battery from charging pass 80%???… this is very important for me. Thanks

[@crimsontechyt]

No, unfortunately not. It has to be built in to the laptop :/

[@TheDeathHusband]

Should I keep armory crate or just run g helper. Would both running be okay on the amd g16

[@crimsontechyt]

AC is fine, G-Helper is just a lot faster and easier to use :) You cant have both though. You have to uninstall armoury crate and myasus if you want to install g-helper

[@ramtabjulu5497]

I have enabled the battery charging limit to 60%, is it ok to always use the laptop pulgged in during browsing and less intensive tasks?

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes :)

[@joshpacker6635]

What laptop are you using in your vid?

[@crimsontechyt]

The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14"

[@andoakbar]

How? In my country geforce experience is no more. It turning to Nvidia App now after update😅

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, but when you buy a new laptop, there's a good chance there's still geforce experience on there. So it takes a while to change :)

[@user-ew1qi5iw1o]

I love your videos than I want to know what your gaming mouse is

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you! :) It's the Razer Deathadder V3 (Pro)

@@crimsontechyt thank you! I have one more question, what is your main laptop now? Is it still g14?

I’ve got a older laptop it has an i5 13420h with a Geforce Rtx 3050 16gb ddr4 with 512ssd. Sorry for all the extra information but I was needing help. So I play Fortnite on medium to high settings but when I charge and play my laptop doesn’t really charge but drains slowly. Is their anyway to help or fix that

Are you using the original charger that came with your laptop? Also, which model is it?

[@mrjungey]

Hey sorry to ask but can i get a laptop..?

[@diditgunawan4805]

Nice

[@VesperWR]

Hi I hope you notice this comment. I have the same laptop as the one you reviewed before, the MSI Stealth 14. Now while idle, the cpu temperature under 20% load is at 60-70 degrees celsius. Is that normal? I still have 3 weeks to decide whether to return it or not. Hope you can help!

[@TrusteftTech]

What's the room temperature? 60-70C under 20% load can be normal depending on the CPU and the overall design. How hot does it get when it gets busy? If it is only 3 weeks old and if it reaches over 90C when it gets busy (CPU temp), then I would say it's too hot. Especially if you are not in a hot room. Laptops get hotter the longer you use them, hours, days, months, years. If it is over 90C brand new, then I wouldn't agree that it is a good temp for it. Unless you have like 40C room temperature, in that case you should be fine.

[@VesperWR]

@ I have the ultra 7 155. So far for heavy loads its at 95C (tried playing marvel rivals at ultra settings). Room temperature isnt that bad as well. Probably less than 30C when the AC is off

[@VesperWR]

@ This laptop is actually ex-display since they ran out of the new stock. Been in display since September. So with that considered, do you think the temps are normal?

[@TrusteftTech]

@ 95C for me is too high. It's only a matter of time before it goes a bit higher and starts thermal throttling, If it was daily used since September there is a chance it just needs some cleaning of the fans and some new paste if the paste was not applied properly at the factory. It happens. Being a display unit perhaps it has lots of dust in it too. I would open it to clean it and replace the thermal paste, especially if the laptop is clean when you open it. Be careful though in case it uses liquid metal instead of thermal paste. It needs special attention when you deal with it. If it drops after maintenance, perhaps it will be fine till you need to do this again. If the temp doesn't drop then perhaps it's a flawed design and you should look at something else with better cooling. I don't have any experience with more modern laptops, the last one I have is from 2014 (poor and all), but my experience with computers since the early 1980s tells me the above. I could be wrong.

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, those are normal temps for idle to light usage. The Ultra 100 chips tend to run hotter during heavy loads so 95 degrees is perfectly fine too :) Nothing out of the ordinary

[@NasirCrazyguy]

Why not recommend a fresh install of Windows?

[@crimsontechyt]

A lot of laptops require seperately downloaded drivers to be able to function at all, so that's a big hassle for people that might not be very experienced with this stuff :)

[@NasirCrazyguy]

@ maybe a video idea for that? 😉

[@copymalty]

this video should've been posted a yr backk, lol

[@hollow314]

disagree on the letting windows update update your bios and drivers. Best case scenario you only got an old driver, wrost case it conflict with current bios and brick you laptop. It's better and safer to manually update + hide those update from windows.

[@Zephyrione]

thats my brothers birthday... are you tryna tell me something hahah

buy a brand new laptop to ur brother
