ETA you gotta get more in touch with your viewer base. $1400 is a very substantial amount of money for most people and definitely not affordable. $500-750 is maximum to be considered budget or affordable these days

[@CaptainRex332]

That’s so expensive I’ve found a laptop with a better cpu and 16gbs of ram for 1130 cad

[@godwhomismike]

I'd even say under $1K is more budget these days. $1400 is just absurd, especially for a 4060. I recently saw a gaming laptop with a 4060 on sale for $899.

[@HernasRoom]

It's insane. I play mostly indie and retro games. What I look for in a laptop isn't raw power, it's reliability. Whenever I read one of his titles I think I'm going to find a good deal. Something with decent build quality, solid battery life, and a nice screen to make that pixel art really pop (Wifi 6E and BT 5.2 are also nice to have)... But no. It's always some super expensive overloaded device. Why would I ever need an i7 with an RTX 4060? There's nothing "budget" about this.

[@iitzfizz]

[@coment80]

I've had it for a few months - it works great. It's really not loud for gaming. This is an economical gaming laptop that cannot be seriously criticized for anything. I had HP before - and this one is no worse made. Case is plastic, yes. But it's stiff enough (I carry it in my backpack). The speaker plays loudly, but with poor quality sound. But it's enough to watch movies. The screen seems a bit faded, but after one day you get used to it - it's the weakest part of this laptop, but it's not a disaster. It does not heat up (about 70 degrees on the GPU memory). Everything runs at 60FPS+ on maximum settings in FHD. The keyboard 'feeling' is quite nice - no worse than in more expensive laptops. Overall, great equipment for its price - fast CPU, fast GPU, fast refresh rate, not too loud, not too hot. Oh - and there were no problems with installing Windows 11 from scratch and adding other RAM.

I got a 4060 laptop, Lenovo LOQ, for the past 3,4 months. I sold my 3060ti, ryzen 5500 desktop for ~550USD. Got this for around 1k USD. I saw before that comparing them both would result in pretty similar performance. The big selling point was that it would come in a smaller form factor, a decent screen (my desktop one was on the verge of breaking) and new hardware (old desktop was atleast 3,4 years old). I'm happy. Runs games just fine, adjustment period to a laptop from a desktop. This example of the 4060 is a tad over priced. I'd say stick to 1k range.

It's a Clevo rebranded laptop. You'll see similar models from various companies soon. At $1400, it's too expensive for a laptop with a 4060 GPU and a 1080p screen, particularly when you can snag a RTX 4070 laptop with a 2560x1600 display for the same price.

Okay so i just want some clarification... i see that the CPU TEMP is reaching almost 90°+ with HORIZON, are these temperatures normal? And are they designed for long gaming sessions? Is there any sort of risk of damaging both the GPU and CPU? I would be eternally grateful for any help 😊

[@Berserkism]

Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD don't start to throttle until 95'C-100'C. GPUs about 85'C. They can run at these temps as they are designed for it, won't hurt them, but it's always nice when things run cooler. Noise vs. Cooling, which would you prefer? Laptops are bring made thinner as well, which makes cooling more difficult.

[@foxack]
