The 3050 is better than the 1650 and it has dlss supported for even better performance. On top of that the price jump between the two isn't even that much depending on where you are. The 3050 might be a low end RTX but at least future proofs your laptop for future titles better than the 1650.

[@hatchet646]

Idk. The fact that it can run current titles faster than a 1650 doesn't mean it will run future titles faster because it will suffer just as much from low vram as the 1650 and the performance diff beetween the two will become negligible.

Battery life benefit of the 3050 is key when evaluating lower-specced laptops like these (as well as DLSS support of course). I'd argue it's much better to buy an AMD CPU in such laptops given the much better battery life and the fact that any performance benefit Intel might have in games would be nullified by the lower end GPU.

[@billy8461]

@@hmmm5300 Hello, Ok after 3 months of having this laptop here is what i have to say: Problems that i have found: 1) The battery is really bad. It lasts arround 3 hrs in power saving mode while watching videos on yt or doing similar tasks.(for example coding). For gaming is big no it wont even last 40 minutes and the performance drops significantly. To me this is not a problem tho cuz i use it mainly for my work and it stays on more than 10hrs a day with a second screen so the battery doesnt matter. No problems during daily usage. (There is a setting that prevents the battery from charging to 100% in msi center) 2) The screen brightness is not that great compared to other machines but to me its absolutely fine. Productivity: I have tested it in programs like photoshop, illustrator, Dreamweaver, Unreal Engine, Unity, Visual Studio, Access and Microsoft Office in general. It can handle anything you throw at it. The fan noice is barely noticeable, unless you are gaming it will not bother you. The thermals are ok during productivity the cpu stays at around 35 - 45c and the gpu arround 40 - 45c. I should mention that i have locked the cpu to 2.6 ghz for better longevity and battery life. So if you run it at the maximum settings the temperature might increase depending on the task. Gaming: Well the only games that i have played are Horizon zero dawn and Control. Both very demanding games i should say. On hzd 1080p medium settings, dlss off. I get 50-75 fps and on Control same settings 50-60fps. With dlss i get arround 70-80 fps. In longer sessions(4hrs +) i have noticed some small fps drops tho. The gpu goes up to 85 degrees. (i havent seen it go beyond that) and the cpu reaches 95 degrees so yea it gets loud. Undervolting is a must in these kind of games. Thats with 8gb ram. Insides: - It has 2 rams slots with 8 gb ram installed in one slot (SAMSUNG) and the other slot is free for upgrade, - It has 1 ssd nvmie m.2 slot occupied by the pre-installed disk (KINGSTON) - Also has an empty slot for ssd or hdd SATA3 for more space in case of upgrade. - It doesn't have Dragon Center, it has MSI Center (it's the same thing). I run windows 10 home. W11 offers nothing more than w10 and it is a little bit slower from what i have seen. Overall it has a very beautiful design. The screen is very nice for the price. The keyboard and touchpad appear to be well made. The only negative thing I can say is that if the keyboard needs to be changed, the ENTIRE laptop must be disassembled. + I like the shortcut for fan turbo mode after hours of gaming it lowers the temperature instantly + Easy shortcut to turn off the camera + The laptop speakers are fine. The Nahimic audio software is nice it has many interesting settings but i didnt dive into that. Feel free to ask any other questions :)

@@billy8461 I'm planning to use it indoors so screen brightness should be fine I think. Short battery life is to be expected with Intel CPUs. I saw it personally and the design and weight are awesome for the price. You did confirm my concerns with the cooling design though. Nvidia GPUs thermal throttle at 86°C so that's why you don't see it past 85. The single stick 8GB of RAM is definitely causing some underutilization so with dual channel 16GB it will probably run even hotter/throttle more. The cooling solution is inadequate I assume.

@@arijit1809 yeah it should. But physically inspect the laptop first regarding its weight. Just so you know 1650gtx was launched in 2020 and i5 12th gen is available now. So dont get discouraged by the reviews. Cost is generally our main concern and there is no way i am able to afford anything above this. I might get acer, asus and lenovo cheaper but i have never used these laptops so i dont know how they wil sustain since i am a heavy gamer and i use the laptop very rough. Hp and dell can sustain it. So keep these things in mind because they will pitch 2080 RTX or 3080 RTX..both are superior to 1650 but the advantage is not that big if you are ok with 1080 mid setting gaming or running software at mid speed. If you can shell out 10-15k more than you can sure go for them. RTX is superior than GTX in general.

I have an older version of the Lenovo Legion 5 which has Ryzen 5 4600H and GTX 1650, and it's been with me for almost 3 years now. I haven't had any hiccups with performance and I even work and stream on it as well. I do have it hooked up to an external monitor and I have AO enabled. It hasn't let me down, and it's been doing the job great for me. So I think I'll stick with this setup for at least a couple more years, though I do plan on building a PC with at least Ryzen 7 and a 30 series card in a year or so since I want to start using this laptop for just solely work purposes.

Unfortunately this video illustrates what can be summarised in a sentence; The 3050 outperforms and has more features than the outgoing, previous 1650 model. I thought this would be obvious. However more annoyingly the video title "Dont buy" is clickbait and bad advice, it's like saying don't buy a ford when you could have a ferrari just because it's faster. When making any purchase you should consider much more than performance only, including price, availability, practicality, size, your personal needs as a user or customer and potential resale value if you plan on selling in a few years Case and point I've just bought a 1650 and 8gb ram laptop within last 6 weeks and it does everything I need it to. I've actually been very impressed with it's performance. I made a compromise on some of the hardware for other features such as the display and portability of the device and so far I'm very glad I did!

[@JarrodsTech]

Clearly the video is needed given you came to the wrong conclusion lol. Let's summarize. 3050 has better battery life, performs better in games, gives you DLSS, has ray tracing, potentially goes up to higher power limit, IS CHEAPER. Yeah, 1650 is totally worth considering 😅 maybe if it's WAY cheaper sure, which is exactly what I said in the video. Just because you spent money on something doesn't mean you need to feel personally attacked about the title of a video.

[@oliverhall671]

@@JarrodsTech tbf lad I don't feel personally attacked it's just dangerous to make such sweeping and generalising statements, a more appropriate title for the video would have been 3050 v 1650 mobile comparison or along these lines... I understand the clickbait title, your revenue is directly affected by your number of viewers and subs so I understand why you do it but my point was people should buy what's most appropriate for them that's all. The original video title suggests there is something inherently wrong with the 1650 when there is isn't, it's just a little older now but it's still perfectably serviceable. The video itself like some of your others I've seen is very informative and useful and you do go onto explain your views well but for somebody perhaps younger and more easily influenced, especially by KZbinrs such as yourself, who may not watch the entire video, by using that title your influencing them with your own biased opinion. Just because you wouldn't buy a 1650 laptop now doesn't mean other people wouldn't. But it's no biggie, just take it as positive criticism from a fellow techie and someone who has watched a few of your videos.

Maybe because it is now very close to a gtx 1060 in performance, and was close to the 3gb 1060 in performance soon after launch. It also ate just 50w of power and costed around $600-$700 at launch. Infact, the gddr5 gtx 1650 on laptops packed better specs than the desktop gtx 1650 and didn't compromise on vram either. The rtx 3050 on the other hand didn't beat the gtx 1660ti despite using more power (95w vs 80w). It also has less vram than it and less vram than its desktop version as well as worse specs. And lastly, it costed at least $200 more than the gtx 1650 laptops and nearly as much as rtx 3060 laptops, something it still does even now. So I'd argue the rtx 3050 is a even more pathetic card than the gtx 1650, which on laptops was at least alright.

A better alternative to GTX 1650 is Rx 5500m in my opinion, atleast as far as just gaming is concerned. Wonder why OEMs aren't pushing 1650 super or 1660 to replace 1650 in this very scene...

Well, I needed a laptop for on the go. And the 1650 was almost €300 cheaper, had a much much better CPU and monitor than any laptop with a 3050 (at least: 3/4 months ago when I purchased it and in my country, dunno about US). So my choice was incredibly easy to make. I wouldn't recommend it as your primary machine, but if you already have a good PC and just need something for on the side... My choice was the best choice I could've made at the time of purchase. Also it's a g15 strix with a quite decent 144hz panel, most laptops in the same price range were this ugly, extremely cheap feeling laptops like: Asus TUF (yeah, take my word for it: strix is better especially if it's cheaper and suits your needs, I'd even take a VIVO over a TUF, just because of it's sheer appearance, TUF has become the cheap stuff from asus.. nothing TUF about ti anymore), acer or HP omen. Not to mention the potential for issues you most likely will have with entry level laptops from those named model/brands. Also it was on sale and I kept quite a big amount of change in my pockets, so yeah: best purchase I could've made even though it has a 1650 and not a 3050 (honestly on the go / at friends I only play games like: league of legends, starcraft II or world of warcraft arena, so a CPU like the Ryzen 4800h it has - for 1080p - was sooooo much better than an i5 sporting a 3050 for almost 300 more, especially considering what I play when I'm not at my primary PC).. If you know what your needs are this video is actually quite bad advise, good advise for entry level enthusiasts though. This g15 was literally €675 vs any 3050 of at least €950 (with mediocre CPU compared to this 4800h, Monitor or just a brand that felt extremely cheap for that price point.. I didn't want to shelve out 950-1050 for a laptop I wasn't sure what firmware or driver issues it would have when I got home, entrylevel/budget laptops like acer or hp typically are infested by small bugs/glitches or firmware/drivers that simply doesn't work right.. Not to mention the potential for bloat you do not want and thus having to clean sweep the laptop before even being able to play.. Can't go wrong with something like an rog strix for 675 on sale, really.. especially if you don't want to deal with crap brands like HP and Acer will give you for the same (or even more) price ), seeing what I play... I couldn't have made a better choice, also: given the price, I was quite lucky to say the least... It was during an get ready for school/outlet sale at some small pc boutique in my country, really for the price I paid I couldn't have found any better laptop. Especially not with a CPU that is atleast something comparable to a 4800h (for 1080p and wanting to sometimes use blender on the go, yeah best CPU for the price in this laptop). I was looking to spend around €1000 but only if I'd feel happy about that purchase, but when I saw this deal ... I didn't have to think twice about it and took my girlfriend to a fancy restaurant after.

@@drthbn true bro . But I thought of buying a laptop just for fifa , and will try to buy a PS5 or else xbox series s for regular gaming

@@RingmaiWar fifa runs fine even on a toaster so you are good there

[@RingmaiWar]

@@drthbn worried about the new fifa 23 as it is generation one . I guess 4gb graphics card will not be enough

[@drthbn]

@@RingmaiWar in that case wait for the benchmarks

I love the title "don't buy a 1650 laptop" when to some people it's just IMPOSSIBLE to buy the other one.

[@Reegareth]

I mean... I got a laptop with the 1650 and a Ryzen 5 5600H for just $290 USD. It only had a 512GB M.2 Sata Drive and 8GB of ram but at that price I added a second NVME 2TB ssd and upped it to 16GB ram and kept the total price at $450. I would say it was totally worth it at that price point especially since my GF didn't want me spending more than $500. I don't think I've seen many if any options for a 3050 that is less than $500 USD.

[@Bitsadola]

Its always good to see a well done review by our friend Jarrod, but Full Hd in a 15.6 display and above 30 fps is enough for me,enjoying the games like the ps1 era! do not let minor things ruin your pleasure of gaming..

[@mohitvanderwala169]

My budget is around $600 i dont think 3050 is my options i would still have to buy 1650

[@EdzonPusing]

1650 is good I'm telling u that. I just bought my 1650 Acer Aspire 7 and it does the job well enough.

[@shamsielshahar120]

If you really need a laptop now, go for it. If not, just save some more money.

[@siyzerix]

I'm assuming you're in India. If so, just get a refurbished gtx 1650 laptop. Should run you about $500. Even less if you go for exchanges and deals.

[@WASD-MVME]

Gotta love Nvidia gimping performance without letting people know they are paying the same for less & DLSS at 1080p 🤮

[@jonathanenrico445]

What do you mean by that?

[@SeikoKKJ]

I wish I could get one with 3050, but I’m not finding it anywhere in the stores of my city 😔

[@jamesrenz77]

Loving these videos mate. Support informative and helpful for buyers. Also, noticed that you've worn a Children Of Bodom shirt and now InFlames. Next I want to see some Drowning Pool, Disturbed and Deftones shirts 🤘

Hei Jarod it is interesting to see this kind of comparation. I got my Swift X with RTX3050 35w (it says boost up to 40w but I never see it go up 40w) and I safely to say it comparable to GTX 1060 Desktop minus 2GB Vram (From various Videos that I saw). The DLSS surely nice feature even though it wont offset the lack of VRAM (Spiderman and Watchdogs go up 40xxMB VRAM Used and stutter bit and goes back to 39xx MB)

[@dusk5927]

Does it run out of vram even at low settings? I don't know much about Spiderman but I knew Watchdogs at low settings needed like around 3gb or a bit higher. If I had one or these gtx 1650 or rtx 3050 I would still go for medium or low settings for sure to avoid vram limit in the future games as I prefer the boost in performance more than the graphics.

[@m.ariefw3536]

@@dusk5927 From what I see, Low setting wont be much a problem as long as geometry and texture around Med your fine. I got my self run at High it hover around 38-60fp. The game bit weird, I can go down to 25fps when in combat or roaming on the street at times and goes back again to 40-60 in couple of minute latter.

[@m.ariefw3536]

@@dusk5927 Regarding Watchdog Legion, I am playing it at High Setting with texture on Medium (despite its says more than 4gb or vram) it still run smoothly around 40-55FPS depending in scene. It becomes problematic if texture set to High only if you using highspeed car or bike other than that it fine but bit stutter at times (monitoring its vram uses, it go up to 4096mb stutter and goes back to 4000mb territory). Unlike Ac Valhalla that has impact greatly on average with 4gb vram on High Texture. Btw RTX 3050 better than 1650 because it has DLSS. How about Ray Tracing? Forget it, it just a gimmick for 4gb vram. It can do ray tracing sure, but with that kind of vram, either you lower down all setting and turn ray tracing on or go for med-high setting than turn raytracing off. For me standard Screen Space Reflection is good enough for most game.

[@m.ariefw3536]

RTX 3050 35-40w is akin to GTX1060 Desktop, or RTX 2060 Maxq or 1660 ti Max q or RX 5500m. So seeing those of benchmark (as long as the game wont use more than 6gb Vram) in KZbin can give you performance you can expect out of RTX 3050 35w.

[@flightsimaviationentertainment]

Yes the 3050 is good but the 4gb vram limits it alot so just get a 3060 laptop xd or 1660 laptop I have a 3060 laptop rn it's a msi gf 65thin 2021 model with a i7 9750h and 2x 8gb 2933mhz for only 1.2kusd (I live in india)

[@GorriminSilvam]

Nvidia cards labeled with a ??50 are designed as the budget model of that nvidia series card and will quickly become underperformed. The 1650 is aging very quickly. So I would agree with this video.
