The whole top frame with keyboard is Metal while, The cooling is great, Rarely see it go above 70'C on GPU and 85 on CPu which is expected due to the Processor spec hitting 4.8Ghz on all 6 cores. can be toned down easily with undervolt. Laptop cameras have always been trash just get a dedicated one. if you're looking for a laptop that has superb cooling that you can't hear then you're going to get a ugly chunky 17" monstrosity on your lap.

Intel had been selling 6 core CPUs for a while on their HEDT platform. Guess where AMD would be without intel.

Intel literally sold dual-core i7s for laptops while selling 10-core i7s on HEDT and are selling i3s in the same lineup as i7s with all four cores or an overclockable laptop i7 (with same corecount) as i9. How does any of that make sense? Right it doesn't. It's always been about deceiving customers the upgrade is worth it even if it really isn't (not saying four threads is enough in 2017 or onward).

I feel Dave's frustration. Love the honesty.

Yes I think so, because he loves intel

[@fergushunt]

I understand the point of your video and all, but I still haven't gotten over the bass in the new intro, it's incredible. I've literally rewound the video just to hear it again on headphones. I love everything you do, and all of your sets are beautiful

I was going through laptops on Amazon. What I found is, either they make it super expensive or they put I5 with 3060 etc. Or they give lower quality screens at 60hz. Something is always missing under 1k which is my budget. So either you get non gaming laptop or get 1.5k plus laptops

Fantastic video. Even now in October '21, Intel are selling i7 laptops with 4 cores. Going with AMD!

[@muhammadrifqi5249]

How about intel i5 11400H 6core? Is it ok?

[@mediumkahuna]

@@muhammadrifqi5249 Yeah, 6 cores is decent. However 12th Gen i5 and i7 now have 10 and 16 total cores respectively.

[@astroidexadam5976]

In Mediamarkt NL they either sell 8 core i7 laptops(11800H) or 4 core i7 laptops(i7 11370H) but about the i5 all the gaming laptops they sell there with an 11th gen i5 they always have the i5 11300H that has 4 cores and no 6 core variant like the 11260H or 11400H

[@alonelychocolatebar1954]

Randomly been finding loads of KZbin vids and news articles on gaming laptops after buying my Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3. So far everything I've read makes it sound like I got a good ass deal. Even got it for a few hundred off, and could spend extra on upgrades and software. I'm not complaining.

Thank you so much for being honest and making this video. I was actually going to get an Asus tuf dash i7 with rtx3060 (intending to use it for 3D animation, game development, and other creative projects that require a strong computer, as well as some extra gaming on the side and various IT projects for uni)... I always thought that most of the time, intel is usually the "spend a little extra and get better performance". Bit guttered but glad that I know this now before making myself broke for quality I'm not getting. Thank you again

Tbh Dave is a much more authentic-seeming tech reviewer than most, at least to me reviewers like LTT and MKBHD seem more corporate in the nature of their channels and to me that seems less trustworthy regardless of how correct their opinions of the products they review are

[@ctrlectrld]

Bingo. My comment history is not working atm, otherwise I'd link you that video where Linus advises to not to buy AMD Renoir laptops, wait for Intel 11th gen ones and get those because they'd look better. Yep, you read that right. 4 cores at a premium price in 2021, but they look better! Unbelievable stuff, and people fall for it. The more they fall for it, the more he pushes it.

[@elijah_9392]

@@ctrlectrld He did not. He said to wait for 11th gen, to see how it performs, then decide.

[@ctrlectrld]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZfHZJaFZ8yJfqc The 9:20 - 11:10 segment is borderline disgusting. He even falsely claims that you couldn't find the G14 in stock anywhere; plenty of those in stock in my region (EU) at the time for example. He also praises in advance 11th gen performances: the video was published in Sept 2019, Intel 11th gen would come out in Nov 2019. We saw how it went. Flat out misleading, mindboggling stuff.

[@ctrlectrld]

@@elijah_9392 Check the link I posted. He literally held people off from buying a better product.

[@AmitSharma-lh3pm]

@@ctrlectrld Thin and light notebooks are very different from gaming laptops. I think you misunderstood what Linus meant. The laptop manufactures (not intel) were putting AMD processors in cheaper laptops while only intel was available in premium laptops. This is changing now, but at the time of the video that was true. Furthermore, intel's low tdp laptop cpus are actually comparable to AMDs 4000 laptop cpus.
