Budget end there actually wouldn't be a huge difference. So getting a good deal during Black Friday be better. But upper Mid tier and High end is where one should wait. That will see a huge performance gain with new RTX5000 series.

Hey Jarrod, your breakdown of the gaming laptop market and when to buy was really insightful! You’ve helped me weigh the pros and cons. I’d love to discuss how my agency can help you with brand partnerships, so you can keep bringing more content like this to your viewers!

[@typerightseesight]

I bought a zephyrus 2023 for $1000 cuz it had everything for less than half of the good laptops. But, then like a few weeks ago I double checked and brands like razers $3999 laptops are going for like $1999. I took a shot about a year too soon. I bet next year you'll be able to get 4090 tier gaming laptops for like half off.

[@jinz0]

more disappointing buying something that's instantly outdated and you payed above the price for once the price crashed few weeks later 😂

[@sighbrows]

for those workstation, power-users I'd say buy now. However, people who use laptops mostly for battery life and efficiency may greatly benefit from waiting for next year's chips, Intel's benchmarks for the series 2 ultra mobile chips show double the hours for battery life compared to series 1 ultra chips. If this actually comes to fruition, all the while running stable, the wait will not disappoint at all.

[@ngeorge9673]

@jinz0 I doubt the 50 series laptops are going to be that impressive. They couldn't even put higher VRAM in the 5070. A 40 series, especially a high-tier one, is not going to become suddenly incredibly outdated in comparison. The most you have to worry about is price drops, but if you are buying a laptop on Black Friday then most likely you are getting it for a good price anyway so a potential price drop wouldn't really concern you. The main point is if you are trying to wait for a laptop, then most likely you will always be waiting. If you wait for the 50 series, you are going to waiting over half a year for it to potentially be a good price, maybe even until next Black Friday. By that time, you are going to be told to "wait for the 50 ti series." By the time, you can reasonably get your hands on that, you'll be told to "wait on the new processors/cooling systems" or whatever people hype themselves up on. The point is get a new laptop when you need it. If you need a new one now, get it now. There's no benefit to waiting over six months. If you can afford to wait, then wait but if that's the case, you didn't need a new laptop so you shouldn't have been getting one regardless.

[@RoseInnn]

@@trxq7173It depends what games you're trying to run, if its games like valorant, fortnite, brawhalla, roblox (i.e. Non triple A games) then you don't need a gaming laptop. I recommend the Lenovo Yoga 7, it has an OLED touchscreen display, dolby front-facing speakers, a screen that can bend back 360º which can convert it into a tablet (comes with a pen), Great battery life and it's very slim and lightweight.

@@trxq7173 hey there, saw your comment, so the question is what will you be using the laptop for and what specs are important to you.

What are the most important features and price range you are looking for? Write out a list if that will help

I'm still using gtx1050ti on my architectural drawings and renderings and it still works like a charm.

[@KatRollo]

The sneaky tactic is to wait for the 5000 series to drop, buy 3070-3080 Ti at bargain prices, then call it a day. You can play Med/High at 1080p/1440p in most AAA games on average and an easy Ultra at 4K on lighter games. Happily walk away and enjoy the extra money in your pocket. P.S. Refurbished saves even more. Some manufacturers directly sell refurbished on their official websites. FOMO people are also going to be re-selling their 3000 series for the latest, so practical buyers can get some pre-owned deals during this time.

call me crazy but i just bought a laptop w/ the 3080 Ti (150w) and called it a day lol and i find the 12900H paired with to be jack of all trades even to this day. I've noticed many game studios continue to develop games with hardware that's still 3-5 years old, (look at the indicated recommended specifications). Anything beyond that seems to be poorly optimized unless you have the latest hardware, which I find unnecessary nowadays. I don't play games immediately upon their release; I still enjoy games that are 5-10 years old and don't require the latest hardware we've become accustomed to upgrading every couple of years.

Main reason why I bought a 4080 laptop to complement my 4090 desktop was the lack of vRAM on the 4070. I tried a 4070 laptop first, but quickly found out it was barely any upgrade at all from my 2080 laptop (same amount of vRAM, hardly any raster improvements). So, mission accomplished, I guess. Upselling their xx80 laptop cards. The 5090 desktop is reported to have 32GB of vRAM, yet the laptop "counterpart" is still limited to 16.

Strix Halo can be direct competitor for RTX 4050/4060 but knowing AMD they will make "award winning" chip that then will be "available" in 1-2 laptop models that may or may not be in stock world wide and the supply will be so low the prices will be inflated :D

[@Mr.Prōtagonistēs]

Just like RX 7900M and 7945hx3d.

[@Waxf0rd]

The performance to price is always an issue and the market will vary depending where you are in the world. Gaming on a budget can be tricky. But honestly, if you aren't too picky and only care about 1080p gaming, even RTX 4050 is good enough on a budget and at a cheap deal.

[@Baddmann1931]

60 and 70 series will have a vram increase ,if not at release then in a refresh but it will get a 3gb module upgrade

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

60 & 70 will 12gb vram, 80 with 16gb and 90 with 24gb is what i want to see + performance upgrade to match, let's see if they deliver.

[@roqeyt3566]

I've been impressed by 4060 laptops, I'm glad I got one and my friend has one too. They're generally quiet, which is something we didn't get much of during the ampere generation. Rtx 5000 (blackwell) will probably be a bit quieter and performant than Rtx 4000 (ada lovelace), but I think its well worth going for a new laptop now if the price is right

[@nosuchthing8]

Will there be any 24gb vram laptops?

[@aseal5163]

Jarrod I have a random question. First off, thank you so much for your incredible videos, you’ve led me to purchase a 16” legion slim 7i gen 8 4070 in 2023. I’m currently building my dream desk setup that would include my laptop and a 4k monitor (gigabyte m28u 28”). I would love to able to just plug my laptop into one hub or dock to connect to my keyboard, mouse, monitor, and charger but I’m worried that it’ll hinder my specs or charging power. I’m not too knowledgeable in these things, can you please advise me on whether I should get a hub/dock or not? If so, which one should I get. Sorry for the long comment 😅

[@tonytvj5vj613]

I want to ask is The VRAM 8 enough for gaming?

[@iqstar1666]

But In google it's showing that rtx 5070 laptops will get 12 gb..so I'm having some problem in understanding..will it have 8 gb or 12gb?

[@davitdavid7165]

I am thinking of a 14 inch and those typically dont go above the 70. A killer deal on the g14 should be good. Will build a pc later

[@unexplained_entity7514]

I think I’m honestly more excited for the ROG Ally 2 at this point. I’ve gotten so much mileage out of my current one to the point that it’s unexpectedly becoming a bit of a laptop replacement

[@Photo0021]

Rather annoying seeing the 70 series cards still having 8GB of vRAM. At least it reaffirms the RX 6800m being the best value laptop GPU like, ever, at this point. My next system will be a desktop anyways.

[@de-graftasafo-adjei4646]

I have the ROG G15 with the RX 6800M and still works like a champ. Your decision aligns with mine.

[@steveco1800]

@@de-graftasafo-adjei4646 Yeah, I agree it's a great GPU and I sometimes reflect on whether I made the right choice going with the Legion 5 with a 3070 because it was a few hundred £ cheaper and I needed VRR over HDMI. I was also a bit put off by the issues reported with earlier units. The 3070's also turned out to be a good choice for wireless VR compatibility with Quest 3, and I've managed with 8gb VRAM so far, but I'm sure your 6800M will be better in the long term.

[@mikemiles3077]

I was hoping to ask your advise. I just bought a MSI 16" Vector 16 HX with a 4090 and 1 TB of SSD for $2399 plus tax, mostly for VR. Do you think I should keep it or wait a little longer to see if there are any better deals. Thanks for all the hard work and great vids!

If a gaming laptop dies you pay 70% price of its actually price to get it repaired 😢. This is the biggest risk with these machines. Extended warranty is a joke.

[@ukraineforever1600]

If your laptop dies there are 2 reasons: 1. You chose a bad laptop 2. You did't take care of it (dusting off, changing thermal paste, cooling pad, temperature control, balance power plan) The device you take care of will last you a long time

[@invin101]

@ukraineforever1600 i have Asus tuf f15 i guess made a bad purchase. Every 3 months there is a new problem. I am using a hi raise stand and it's only 8 months old. There is no dust on the fans and I have limited battery charging to 80%.

[@ukraineforever1600]

[@coldnoodles2951]

​@@invin101With asus its better to spend a bit nore and go with the high end models. I got the scar 15 from 2021 with the 3070 and it works great, no issues, won't be replacing for maybe 3 more years. But my friend got the g 15 with the 3050 and has had issues multiple times. Lenovo might be better for mid range options.

[@mrmuffins4224]

Yes, the new best setup is mini PC with eGPU. I have Beelink GTi14 with the PCIE dock for my 4080 super. It has maybe 1-2% performance loss over a standard desktop with 4080 super BUT it's 2-3x smaller than even the smallest ITX build. I can easily fit everything into a handheld pelican case for traveling.

[@imglidinhere]

Right at the start, 0:23, gotta say... the jump from the 2060 to the 3060 to the 4060 was somewhere around 30% and then 15-20% at best, respectively. Unless performance is going to be either radically higher AND provide more Vram at the same price, I do not see a point to waiting. Unless the 5060 makes use of the denser GDDR7 memory to allow 12GB on a 128-bit bus as has been leaked and spoken of for a hot minute now, I would be extremely wary of buying any laptop with an 8GB GPU, especially since you know these things are going to be priced super high at launch...

[@zeronero9127]

Should i get an ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 ( i9-12900H 16GB RAM and 3070 2022 version) I only use my laptop for single player games like god of war ragnarok, ghost of tsushima etc and my old (2019) version with a 2070 Max q is struggling now.

Also I can't find any reviews for this variant online soo could anyone tell me if this laptop for this price or should I go for something else?

[@ThekillingGoku]

I've been trying (but failing) to buy a new 18" 4090 MSI machine. Wanted a Raider 18HX, but can't get one at all. Titan lvl hardware without all the fuss. Would've even accepted going for the Titan, but the overly excessive 128GB RAM version that costs over 5 grand is just too much and even then it's hardly available. And when I've seen them in stock, they're like gone before I manage to pick it up. Same goes for the Raider. It's CRAZY! So many people apparently trying to buy >3,5K EUR laptops. I really wasn't planning to, but it looks like I'm forcably gonna have to wait for 2025 hardware. That'll also mean I'll be without a laptop until at least next summer, since my current machine is on the fritz. Heck, probably until next oktober or something since the Raider 18HX model apparently only came out around august (at almost 5K then, now it's 3300 for the 4090 model) and the next Titan is gonna be excessively expensive again when it launches. Aaaargh this sucks.

Can you make a video on expected pricing for new laptops based on previous gen laptops. It would be helpful to make decision to hold or buy the 4000 series. Thanks.

[@bartus88]

It might have been worth mentioning that the RTX 5000 series is expected to use a transistor node from the TSMC N5 family, same as the 4000 series. So we will only see a small improvement in density and frequency if this is the case. It is to be expected the difference between 4000 and 5000 will be unremarkable overall.

[@ryanburnett8251]

It looks like they capped the TDP at 115 watts because the the stretch between 115 watts to 140 watts produces very minimal performance gains, that means less power draw overall and less electricity used. More efficiency. Sounds pretty good.

[@thatguykai479]

All through out the year there are Black Friday deals I quite literally never buy anything wholesale. Non stop price errors everyday on items worth 100s going for dollars .When they announce Black Friday it’s really just to notify everyone who does not catch the all year long around sale of course this can go from Best Buy to Amazon to other retail stores you really jus have to catch them at a good time. Like Black Friday the year long sales go just as quick if not faster during Black Friday they prepare for mass sale in products compared to when they mistakingly price something for few dollars worth 100s and they only have 30 of the items and end up selling 50.
