Walmart vs Best Buy Budget Gaming PC Challenge!

[@aaronwasnich7257]

I like the double benchmark videos. Nice to see both of you play by each other.

[@CESOv]

was able to pick up the Lenovo Slim for $750 open box before Christmas and its been a absolute unit. such a good buy at under $1000.

[@AbimayoXD]

I got the Acer nitro 5 with a 3050ti and an i5-12500h for 850 in August of 2022. Named it Martin and very happy with him

[@Riptide2k]

What are the specs of it?

[@CESOv]

@@Riptide2ksame as the Lenovo in this video.

[@jadarose9954]

@@AbimayoXDhad the same model lasted 4 years for me sadly right now it says no bootable device and I tired so much to fix it but couldn’t

[@TheRealGoatVulxurexx]

@@jadarose9954 its fixable, i went to a local guy to fix mine and i think it was the problem with the ram or your ssd + battery, just check those

[@mt-ze7bd]

I love you guys doing the 2 laptops at the same time. Please do more videos like this.

[@Syvre_]

Love watching these because it’s professionally shot but still feels like a few guys having fun

[@lukefortyfive]

I would love to see a video where you build a complete set up, including each part of the pc, but each individual component should cost less then $50, and see how good you could make the setup. Just thought i would share the idea. Love your videos!

[@kenktheGD]

I like how these are both laptops I bought early versions of 2 Christmases ago (older gen even then), one for my kid and one for me. Interesting to see what 2 years getsya.

[@PrudentSoul]

Love the Dual Benchmarking! Surprised how great those laptops did.

[@SCT_6997_Tombstone]

Even though I’m just now watching it the first little bit of this was exactly what I needed today. It was very funny.

[@mikejames6588]

It's not that they don't have a charge out the box. It's a tamper protocol from all the OEM's put into their devices just in case someone has tampered with the box and device. Any new laptop you buy has that tamper protocol in the device, if you're laptop turns on with out plugging it in the first time means that laptop has been used already.

[@DustinDSM]

Now we need a 300 budget micro center trip

[@darkkingastos4369]

The walmart laptop had twice the storage so you would have to spend 50 or 60more bucks and tear down the laptop to add an equal amount. So I'd say the Wally world took it.

[@nhbountyhunter]

Eh. Lenovo imo is better built, has a better screen, better I\O, and imo way better customer service.

[@Joreel]

Plus Lenovo makes it easy to get to the memory and storage for upgrades. Bought a Lenovo for our son last summer and it has a door on the underside you just unscrew and change things out.

[@sweetsurrender815]

Lenovo had better everything basically and the 4060 is so much better. Also 8GB of VRAM over 6

[@Mr.TechnoWiz-ts3cb]

You guys seem tired, if you need to take a break then do it. We can wait for the next video

I think the cheapest gaming laptop as of now is the MSI Cyborg 15 on sale you can find the 4050 and 4060 version for $800

[@forestgiliad3504]

0:20 Absolutely brave of this couple to take their adopted son to buy his new laptop

[@avengence]

Not sure if you have done it before but a pawn shop challenger would be cool. Just got my son an 11th gen i7, 16gb of ram and 3050ti laptop with 144hz screen for 280.

[@97JoMiller]

I have a Legion with the Ryzen 7 processor and man, it's a freaking tank. I don't even have to crank it up to max performance to really get a good gaming experience... now if only there was new games out that were worth playing 🙂

[@SensibleClem]

i was hoping for you guys to open up the back panel to see its upgradability~~~

[@shinefake48]

1 thing with buying laptop is the power management thing that’s locked by the manufacturer, like some laptops with 4060 is priced at the 4060 price range but the gpu itself is power limited and performs like a 4050, and that’s a bummer

[@preludetwofast02]

Loved the double benchmark!! Do more like this!!

[@Reaper1008]

Noticed the Kentucky Hoody.. Nice to see someone sporting my Home state.

[@Toad1488]

That irl content is super nice ngl

[@firstjusticegaming]

also on the latop on the right there is a button on the top right that can make it go into performants mode that may give better FPS to the game as well

[@AndronicusKomnenos]

Glad to have these guys back.

[@ToxicgamezT]

Thanks so much my favorite KZbinrs for this amazing content you guys helped me a lot how to build pcs and do a lot more how to arrange and do gaming setups I even started working at tech and IT pc software and fixing because of you guys inspiration thanks so much believe me

[@bubbafrie9001]

You guys should do a pre-owned challenge. Set a price limit of $500 and see who can get the best gaming laptop for that price

[@BREEZYM6015]

That would be a good challenge. How much power under the hood can you get for $500?

if the acer is using ddr5 (i dont know for sure), but ddr5 can be a double channel on a single stick of ram, so it could have 2 slots with one populated with a dual channel stick

"Budget Gaming Laptop" "The cost is $1000" Bruh

Nowadays $1000 is a budget gaming laptop.

[@zukhilmie7867]

wouldnt really get views without that word lol

[@chadhowell1328]

Find a decent gaming laptop worth buying under 1k these days is a challenge. If you want to buy a laptop under 1k then ok but it won’t be worth a damn for gaming

[@nicholaswatson999]

And the Best buy laptop is already up $300

[@taylorkraus9491]

From Best Buy I got the last gen version of the Walmart laptop and I love it

I got a ASUS TUF Dash Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz Display, Intel Core i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Backlit KB for 1k is that good

[@mhnz785]

I got my hp victus from microcenter for $879 after tax ($809 before open box) it has the 13700HX | 32GB | 1tb ssd and 4060 8gb, not a terrible deal but it does has some wonky stuff. I cant get it to wake from sleep mode for some reason, and you have to use their legion hub software to unlock the cpu power by default which sucks. Its locked to 35w no matter the power plan in windows without that software, the gpu is not but idk why they locked the cpu, you can at least undervolt and change the fan speed with the software.

[@LincolnSmith-dj9kx]

Oh my gosh, you were just about to get the pc I own. I was so excited to get a review from you guys, but then you got the laptop instead😢😂

[@rygyy2.0]

Do you still think the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with 8 gigs of ram is still a good laptop?

[@Joreel]

Depends on what you're going to use it for... General day to day computing and regular video watching then sure. But for gaming, probably not unless it's got a dedicated GPU now.

[@o0Silverwolf0o]

Gaming pc challenge becomes getting whatever is open box laptop challenge.

[@phr3dmcc0y]

Best bang for buck: well, is the lenovo able to hold 4 sticks of ram?

[@justinmoore106]

The nitro has a software called nitrosense that can increase the performance of the gpu, also it has a higher tdp for the gpu than the slim which is common in slims. I have that laptop I got it on sale for 860 on new egg upgraded the ram to 32 gb of 5600, and installed 3tb worth of extra storage, got the mouse, headset and controller to match and kept it at 1000 dollars making it a better deal than that slim

[@familhagaudir8561]

Very nice laptops and good performance. But "budget" isn't over $1000 though.

[@maxwelltaylor5699]

I have a 16:10 laptop now and will never, ever go back. I'd happily pay more for the 16:10 without question.

Do Best buy vs Frys electronics. They both have a massive section for computer products

​@@jponz85Thought they went out of business 3 years ago.

my friend own one of that lenovo, well the camera shuttle spoil quite easily just a heads up ( we use the laptop for school)

[@RobotPorter]

Historically, January is a bad month to buy computers. Whereas some products get crazy sales after Christmas, computers usually don't. Plus, better, newer models are often on the horizon, making it unwise to pay sticker in January.

[@icehousemuzik]

Thank you brother I I'm so anxious and money is burning my pocket for and upgrade laptop. I have been watching the Asus Rog G16. Preferably want QHD 4060 at least and the nebula display they are boasting about. When do you suggest is a better time to shop.

I have an acer nitro that looks like the one in the video but with a R7 7840hs and a 4060. Has been great.

[@ColShlawg]

Enjoyed the vidoe but I have a question. How does one fix a 100% disk usage problem?

[@jonm4206]

If your computer is using a hard drive, you probably need to swap it out for a solid state drive. Lots of older windows PCs get capped by their hard drive speed today. SSds aren't very expensive and they are easy to sitch out on a desktop, harder on a laptop but also possible if you watch a tutorial. (While you have your PC open probably a good idea to make sure you have 12 or 16GB of ram, as 8GB is starting to be a bit low unless all you do is browse the web, and it is also fairly easy to swap out) - Worth doing if your CPU is at least an i3/i5, but if it is a Celeron/Pentium/Athlon its probably more worth it to upgrade to a newer computer. (If you saw your disk utilization was at 100% you should be able to see how your CPU is holding up as well in task manager)

[@ColShlawg]

Thing is I'm already using an SSD

[@jonm4206]

@@ColShlawg The top things I would expect is 1) your computer might be installing an updated, and it might improve once that is done 2) you might have some heavy program running in background 3)if you are maxing out ram it might be using SSD for page files or 4) if the SSD is almost full it might cause problems. I'd say keep checking around on the internet and if nothing helps you might backup your files and do a factory reset, though thats no sure fix either.

[@Joreel]

If your SSD has less than 10% space left, that's gonna cause it to start swapping out files and that'll push the system to 100% usage quite often. You should never overload an SSD like that as it'll wear out the poor thing faster according to PC Jesus at Gamers Nexus.

[@smile612]

Got a nitro 5 with a 3050 ti and a i5 11300h cpu****and it’s a beast ngl. It wasn’t for me but it runs so good.

[@hmmuncultured]

Yo, i was wondering if the RTX 3050 is still a worth while buy. I know the RX 6600 out performs the 3050 by a good bit for cheaper, but where I live, the 3050 is actually €50 - €70 (around $55 - $77) cheaper than the 6600. Would this still be a good buy? Oh and the used market isnt really an option for me because when i go to places like EBay for gpus, they are all coming from the US and that makes it cost a ton more with shipping and exchange rate. Shipping usually ranging from €100 - €250 (around $110 - $275) and facebook is no help to me because not meany people are selling pc components and the ones who are, they are over pricing them and Ali Express is viable but a lot of the time it doesnt ship to my area and ive had bad experiences with Ali Express in the past. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@hmmuncultured]

OK, so just a note that I found a RTX 2060 Super for the same price as the new RTX 3050. Would that be more of a better option?

Hey Toasty Bros Im wondering if you have a recommendation for a laptop that's under 300 that can run red dead redemption on maybe 30 fps?

I feel like the title should be changed to budget gaming laptop challenge since you're saying budget gaming pc and all you bought were laptops. EDIT for all you butthurt replies: the title is extremely misleading because when you google "budget gaming pc" what shows up? ALL DESKTOPS and not a single laptop result
