Man that 100 watt cap is the most annoying thing ever. Lucky that you guys hit 100 though. I got a 140 watt rtx 4060 and the highest Ive ever seen is 88 watts.

[@AdamGamingARK]

that's why I chose the 14.5 inch 1.75kg legion slim, since going thicccer, larger and much heavier doesn't increase performance, instead its just a waste since the bigger chassis has only disadvanteges and no benefits, except a larger screen

Thats tough to say rn, they might or might be not. There is no clear evidence for mobile (as they also use less power and "damage" might take longer time) but in general the higher the power the higher the risk on these models, intel just fd up there. If you want to be on the safe side just avoid intel new gen or get an i5(not 13600s).

Hey Jarrod, I really like your solid reviews on these gaming laptops. I was wondering if possible, can you please review the MSI Vector 16 hx laptop? I am thinking of buying this laptop since it's a little bit cheaper at 2700$, with 14th gen i9 and rtx 4080. But I haven't been able to find reviews on this laptop on the internet.

[@JarrodsTech]

Probably no point as far as I know it's the same as the 13th gen we already covered, and 14th gen i9 is basically a rebrand of 13th gen i9 - doesn't justify a week+ of testing sorry.

[@arnabiitmphy]

@@JarrodsTech Hey Jarrod, thanks for your response. I completely understand, you have other laptops to cover as well, so no obligations. But when you say you have already covered the 13th generation one, are you talking about MSI Vector GP 68? Because I guess Vector 16hx probably has the 14th gen CPU, and not the 13th gen. But if you're talking about the Vector GP 68 that you have already reviewed, I have watched that video, and you concluded in your video that the GP 68 has good performance, but its screen is really bad with poor colour reproduction. For the Vector 16hx I guess they have a new 1600p display, with 100% colour gamut, that's what is written on their website. So, will you recommend me to buy the vector 16 hx ? My budget is around 2700$ Also in vector 16 laptop the CPU power limit is 65 watt when GPU is running I guess, and the combined CPU + GPU is 240 watt. But for let's say raider GE 78hx it has a combined power limit of 250 watt (75 watt for CPU), and the newer ge78hx model with 14th gen CPU costs 3000$, so is it worth spending 3000$ just for 10 watts of performance difference, where other specs are the same? The older ge78 model with the 13th gen CPU is priced lower (2600$), which I had selected initially, but it's out of stock, so I had to change to vector 16hx. What do you think about vector 16 hx Vs Asus scar 18 (4080 version) since both have 65 watt CPU limit? Sorry for this very long comment.

Also, I wonder that can the fans be extracted without lifting the whole heat sinking because repasting(with ptm7950 and upsiren u6 pro) can be dangerous especially for those who are not experienced now don't want get trouble with the laptop which prices can be up to 4000 dollars easily For instance I bought my MSI GE67HX laptop 4000 US dollar ,despite release price of the laptop is 2500 us dollar in the United States.

Yo Jerrod, you're the laptop guru, can you help me, i would appreciate it. My friend wants to sell me his acer nitro 5 (2021) i5 11gen, rtx 3060, 64gb ddr4 ram 512gb ssd for 570 euros Or should i just buy new msi cyborg a12fv i5 12gen 16gb ram rtx 4060 512gb ssd 850-900 euros

Why no AMD options? Intel is just too hot and expensive and slower.

[@JarrodsTech]

You'd have to ask why Gigabyte choose to only make Intel options.

Not on the laptop side, where at 50W they have about the same performance.. The only reason why Intel seems hotter is because they can boost up to 120W or somewhere around that point, when AMD usually limits it to 80W, so less heat. Equal TDP generally means equal heat generation, so Ryzen at 50W will heat up as much as any Intel CPU at 50W, unless the architecture has an issue with evacuating internal heat. But regardless of the laptop, these max TDP (even 80W) can't be sustained and cooled efficiently in any laptop, unless you get one of these watercooled laptops or one with top-tier air cooling. + the fact the 14900HX here is capped at 55W and performs like any other 14900HX and 13900HX, so no, even here Intel doesn't need to push TDP up to 100+W. Last point : in some continents, Intel CPUs are the budget option in laptops. It has also been a while since I've last seen a Ryzen 5 in a current generation gaming laptop. (not counting the Ryzen 5 7535HS because it's just a Ryzen 5 6600H, which I have also never seen in a budget gaming laptop)

when i had my Ryzen 5 with legion 5, it seemed to me much slower than my core i5 ultrabook (lenovo as well). And AMD in my country has higher prices than intel. Don't know what u talking about. Besides, I don't think amd has resources to supply all OEMs, they are still small company and depend on TSMC, who has 3 more prioritized clients - Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm

@@JarrodsTech also the battery on the intel is abysmal, an 8845hs or 7840hs is so much better in battery life, that's why I got the slim 5 14

02:42 wtf. I will never buy this
