MSI advised me that this can happen if the rear corner screw is not in. After checking my laptop, the screw was in and it appeared to be all the way, however it was about one full 360 degree rotation from being tight. After tightening the screw, this no longer happens.

Thanks for 2022 reviews Jarrod! I watched a ton of your videos making up mind on a laptop around April - June this year as I wasn't in a huge rush to purchase. Was sorely tempted by the Legion 16:10 QHD models for the screen primarily but the availability in Australia sucked even went so far as to get in touch with Lenovo business team. The Asus TUF A15 came just in time as I was desperate to upgrade by that point and I've been very pleased with battery life for work purposes and the graphics when gaming with the RTX 3070 (non-Ti) model, thanks for funding that review model out of your own pocket. It's annoying the Asus TUF QHD model wasn't readily available in Australia either but definitely no regrets here. All the best for the Holiday Season.

Also ask any laptop repair shop how many Lenovo Legions they get - spoiler: a lot.

[@itstherevolution]

Great round up. I was glad to see the Legion 5i pro on the best list as I bought the 3070 ti model on black Friday! It wasn't the absolute best deal, but learning how much better the graphics card was from previous comparison videos here, and the screen for the work I want to do, informed my decision. I have to say, researching the best laptops to get without knowing anything about CPUs, GPUs, ram types, etc etc, is f***ng painful! Fortunately I learnt lots from the comparison videos here (thanks!) and component comparison tests online, so it's totally doable for the uninformed to get a good deal!

Hey Jarrod, just wanted to say your vids helped me choose a gaming laptop and I went with the 5i Pro 3070ti, it’s perfect, thanks for putting out your recommendations and other content!

[@MarioSantoso]

Spot on about Lenovo and MSI. I used MSI before and their high end laptops are increasingly overpriced while their budget range laptops build quality getting worse. Switched to Lenovo 5 pro last year and very satisfied. It has without doubt, the best ports arrangement and keyboard layout. The keypad and arrow keys are spot on! Spent weeks considering my options and glad I decided on Lenovo. Jarrod’s reviews helped a lot. Lenovo is my benchmark when considering a new laptop.

[@DocHudson420]

I have the Msi raider ge67hx with the 1440p oled 240hz panel and 3070ti + i7 12800hx. It was 2150. I think if you look for good value then the company doesn’t matter so much as the individual price point/performance range you’re looking for. Always just pick the best in that range :)

One thing i apreciate from Acer this year is that they cleaned up alot of their laptop design and make them look less gamery. Like the Nitro 5 and the Helios which i always been a fan of how they look from the front but absolutely hated the back panel design, i mean it still look gamery but you can bring them to a work place without your boss thinking you play Valorant all day. Unfortunately I already bought the 2021 Nitro 5 model since laptops are pretty low on supply and pricey where i live so now I'm stuck with this Lego Spaceship looking thing.

I know slim and portable gaming laptops usually don't make it onto these lists but the Legion Slim 7 is insane. I'm a college student and I don't want to lug around a monster of a laptop everytime i go to lectures.

I’m a student and I picked up a Zephyrus G15 for myself this year cause of the portability and other fantastic reviews I’ve heard. I highly recommend this if you are a student looking for portability but also want a bit larger screen. Battery life is also pretty and lasts me long enough. My only gripe is that with my model I recently found a dead pixel but it is barely even noticeable and I also have a warranty so it’ll be alright to replace. Other than that I have no complaints!

If only Lenovo sold it with Nvidia GPU

[@cameronbosch1213]

@Ashyouknow That would have jacked up the price, caused issues with Linux (I use Linux and Nvidia runs horribly with Linux, but AMD is smooth), and hurt AMD Advantage in the long run. Sure, Nvidia has CUDA & DLSS, but FSR is pretty much equivalent (except in Control, SOTTR, & Watch Dogs Legion, but that's the game developers' fault) and for just gaming without ray tracing, the AMD Radeon 6700M is close to an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti or sometimes slightly ahead. So unless you need top performance in content creation because Intel or Nvidia's CUDA, the Legion 7 AMD is more than fine.

[@joy211191]

I'll add something, the Legion 7 AMD is actually pretty good with an all AMD system, it's pretty fast for the price. You can get the top model at half the price of Legion 7i.

hey jarrod, i recently picked up the legion 5 with the 6600m gpu for 1100 dollars where i live. After downgrading from windows 11 to windows 10 and installing new drivers, the laptop had some serious issues and had bluescreen issues to the point that i almost refunded it. however now i got it working by making the laptop go back to its factory settings. it does seem to be worth the price now that i think about it. Thanks alot for your help! it would be nice to make some videos on things to do right after you buy a laptop so that the consumer may find any defects immediatly. again, thanks alot ( not sarcastic btw)

[@salahelhaddad4872]

Very smart idea Just out of curiosity, why did u downgrade to windows 10? And these drives u installed , do they automatically start downloading or u have to look online for them

[@udaria6696]

if the laptop comes with factory windows 11 then don't downgrade to windows 10. You don't have to fix what not broken. Plus most new laptops don't have windows 10 drivers. Only windows 11 which suxs

Video Idea : Every laptop brand's bios and control panel softwares ( For laptops you tested ) I think the bios and control panels of these laptop brands might take part of thinking what laptop to buy.

[@mightyquattro]

About a month ago after long research and watching tons of videos on Jarrod's and other channels, reading several in-depth reviews, I have decided to go with the Legion 7i - model with 12800xh CPU, 32GB RAM and 3070 Ti - I just don't think that extra performance of 12900hx and 3080 Ti worth 1000 EUR. I've got it for approximately 2800 EUR and spent some extra on Alienware AW 2721D display (which is honestly stunning!), 2TB Samsung SSD gen 4, Alienware keyboard and mouse + huge SteelSeries mouse pad. My biggest disappointment this year was Alienware x17 R2 - not only it's impossible to buy it officially in many smaller markets in EU, only via some middlemen with their crazy additional price (like +400 EUR), but also the notebook's performance is rather mediocre for that kind of money - especially CPU, which is very important for me as for a software developer (and hence HX processors make sense for me). I've been a big fan of Alienware, but this time I've decided that at least this year they are really behind the competition and thus I have to look elsewhere. After putting everything together - Legion notebook and Alienware perepherals I've had no buyer's remorse and been very happy with the final result🙂 There a couple of things which are not ideal in Legion 7 like lack of Windows Hello, complexity of disassembling (though I've had that iFix it toolset, it was an extreme pain in the butt to put additional SSD into the NB), weird feeling from the keyboard (it's not bad, it's just different and not necessarily better feeling in comparison with Alienware 17 R4 keyboard) - but these are fortunately minor issues I can leave with. It's a shame though that Lenovo doesn't have 17 inch version of these Legion series notebooks with beefier cooling, raised TDP and far-better versatility for some people (albeit with worse portability).

Hey Jarrod! Thanks for doing this video. I’m currently looking for a 12th gen intel laptop for producing music given the stronger single core performance this year, but also some casual gaming. I’m struggling to find one that has a battery that i can trust to last 8/9 hours minimum just for netflix/youtube when travelling. Are there any recommendations that spring to mind please? I’ve looked at the 2022 legion 5i but have heard battery life can be awful at 3 hours or so.

I'm shocked Asus TUF F15 (Gaming, not Dash) isn't here. It's a beast. I'm also surprised it's not mentioned that the TUF has a horrible coloured screen (144hz variant)

[@TheRenegadePlayer]

Being a MSI GF63 user, I'm somewhat uneased with this. It really is not the best budget gaming laptop ever, but for the price, it's okay for some casual gaming and for my studies. The build quality is fine for me, since I use an external keyboard to game, and these days I only use the laptop keyboard since I don't game with my exams nearby. It's still a definite improvement over my 11 year old HP Pavilion g6, although I'll surely either upgrade after 5-6 years or build a beast machine myself (although highly unlikely with the skyrocketed cost of living here) and I'll be relying on your videos for the best choice. (Had I seen this before buying this, I would definitely have gone for that HP laptop you mentioned.)

I own the Aorus 17 and it works great. What makes having the worst laptop on this list less painful is that I got it on sale for 40% off MSRP. It was a 17" 3070Ti with 1tb ssd In the same price range as 15" 3060/3050 with 512ssd. At that point, I can't refuse the value.

[@abdullahgun]

With a good deal it is absolutely great laptop for the price 👍🏻

[@loganwhite5467]

Similar, got the 15" one with 3070ti and 16gb ram for $1200. I use an external monitor 99% of the time, so the mux switch really doesn't matter to me. The specs are great and runs amazing. Definitely at full price it would deserve the F-tier, but for this price, probably best value you can get if you don't mind the mux, garbage software, and odd placement/lack of ports.

Hello again Jarrod. Thx. I prepare my own video on these theme, because new year is coming. I will do my own video about choosing Gaming laptop 💻 based on your facts. But I have some another view on some points. But like always I will put your channel in the description and ad your channel. So I see one issue in your video: I think you can add prompts to your video. When you publish or now in settings of your video. I think 💭 not only for me it be more comfortable to watch another your video or page on you site. And it will be cool to push on the prompt in the right corner and watch compare table specs of laptops on your site or etc. And not try to search 🔍 it in the description of the video. And I think this thing add views to your videos. Thx again. Your videos are magnificent! Good luck 🍀 P.S. I think videos about How to choose best portable laptop and how to choose portable workstation for 3D or video editing will be interesting. Because in that case’s priority are different. And MSI for example has big line of laptops for the creators ❤🎉😊

Brilliant video! Based on your recommendation, i currently have your top 2, a Lenovo legion 7i 2022 (16", i9-12900, RTX3090Ti 16GB, & 32GB DDR5 4800 RAM), and an Acer Helios 300 2022 (17", i7-12700, RTX3079Ti 8GB, 16GB DDR5 RAM). The former is £2,800 in the UK with the latter at £1,600. I have just over a week to decide which to keep, with 1 option being to upgrade the Acer to 64GB for about £200. I mostly play RPGs like New World & strategy games like Valheim. Originally I was planning on the Acer then building myself a top of the range desktop next year when the RTX4090Ti & AMD 7000 3D VCACHE CPUs come out. But I'm contemplating keeping the Lenovo & waiting on the RTX5000 series to setup for true 8K gaming. Any advice please? I currently have an LG C2 48" OLED TV for gaming on.

[@Samdevay]

Check and compare thermals and cooling. Better the temperatures, good it is. For a laptop, I personally recomend nothing more than i7-12700, RTX3070Ti. Anything more does not add significant much other than heat and causes breaking down of components in long run and mind you- low battery power. i9 is not worth having unless your workload demands extra cache and cores. Jarodds already made clear in many videos the most person can go is 3070TI in a laptop ( restricted cooling) For really to take benefits, need great cooling and larger 17.3 inch machines for 3080 Just to add: 4080 and 13th gen are even power hungry and Alienware is teasing 18inch because no sense in putting those in 16 inch .
