Dell xps best looking laptop period!

[@houssamalucad753]

Not putting the G14 and G16 in the Gamers categories is weird? you can easily fix either the heat or noise issues by uninstalling Armory crate and replacing it with G-helper, then undervolting and making a custom fan curve, after these simple adjustment they become better in every way than the Omen Transcend and becomes suitable for creator use since they're so compact and light.

[@houssamalucad753]

@@oscarswazi6412 And worst in usability XD No real ports, low GPU wattage, heat and fan noise even worse than gaming laptops, the same stupid unusable FN keys that even Apple learned to remove, high price even higher than an equivalent macbook (the base version is useless with a terrible screen and no dedicated GPU) The XPS line is destroyed, it is what apple used to be from 2016-2019, great looking device, but completely horrible in every other metric.

DO NOT BUY AN HP LAPTOP! Trust me, I have a HP Envy x360, it looks gorgeous and I was very pleased with my purchased at first. I also asked the guy from the store about the hinges, if they would be resistant enough. He sold me some crap about hinges that were tested to last for thousands of times. It's a lie. The hinges broke... twice. Now my laptop is not covered by the warranty anymore and my screen cracked because of the hinge breaking free from the cover. I can't close my laptop anymore. It's brand new on the inside and a mess on the outside despite infinite care and precaution. There are countless stories of people encountering the same problem, HP know and do nothing! It's way more bankable to make buy a new machine every year. Don't waste your money!

[@Flying-Chicken]

I regret buying HP laptop as well. It's just suck

[@arihantbhattacharjee]

Same here. I have an HP Pavilion x360 and my first battery got killed, replaced the battery only for it to get killed AGAIN a few months later. At my third battery (less than a year old) and it's already at 0.15Wh of capacity AT FULL CHARGE. And it costed $1000 when I first bought it. Never trusting HP again.

[@SpiderLingual]

I've heard recently from a guy at micro center that HPs are usually same build quality as Dell (and have had great Dells for years), but anecdotally, everyone says HPs are a complete wash (and that's also been my experience borrowing HPs). Does anyone think it's a matter of which HP you choose?

HP have always had crap hinges. I thought they'd have fixed it by now but it looks like they haven't bothered

I bought the Yogi i9 the day it came available mostly because of Josh's reviews and comments about it. I like it and it is all of what he said it is but I would highly suggest that you don't get caught up in the excitement of a "New" laptop coming out and buy it right away. I waited from Jan when I first saw Josh's review until April when it was available to buy it. Now only 2 months later I see it selling for $1699. I paid $2100 two months ago. I would suggest taking all of his reviews and info and waiting at least a few months after it comes out so you can save the $400

[@jihadrouani5525]

I picked up Asus TUF A15 with a 7940HS + 4060 (140W) for just $1330, I'd say it's nearly perfect, the build of the frame is very strong, hardly bends, performance is outstanding, in light and medium tasks the fans are turned off, you only hear them a bit while gaming at around 40db in Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing (but with a headset you can't hear anything), the only downside is the screen being 1080p LCD (At least it's 100% sRGB, 144Hz), and battery life is okey-ish at around 5 hours of light use. I use it for mainly game development and gaming and it's been perfect.

[@uctrongnguyen9253]

Hi Josh, thanks for such another great video. One question: Do you think IdealPad Pro 5 14 (AMD) is the best bang-for-your-bucks 14-inch laptop, given that you give the 16-inch version such high praises? Or does the smaller chassis cause some significant problems?

I grabbed the Legion Slim 5 14 late last year for $1000 and it still kicks ass. I can’t believe how close to the upper tier of this list it is 6 months later and at that price point.

[@ashenwattegedera]

Cant wait for thin laptops to start adopting LPCAMM instead of soldering them onto the mainboard , would really make the purchasing decision easier.

[@Southeastern_Thrills]

Personally, the best value laptop I've seen and used is the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X. It has great performance but, it gets quite warm while gaming. The best part is that it's regularly on sale for $800 at Best Buy.

[@Domolinator]

Should I wait for Snapdragon X elite chips for professionals or should I go for the above recommended laptops?

[@JustJoshTech]

Snapdragon only affects laptops $1k and up and only for those not requiring dedicated graphics. Plus we don't know what apps work and don't on those yet. Anyway, if that use case above is you, then I'd wait a couple of weeks to find out. But if you do see a really big sale on one of these. Then, it's fine to buy also

Looking forward to your thoughts on the Copilot+ laptops Josh. Also, do you know if Asus is going to be releasing the Zenbook 14X any longer?

At this point, there is almost 0 reason to get the X over the current 8840HS or Ultra 7 offerings. Battery life is the single option, but everything else is better on the two other offerings. If you just need web surfing, get a tablet.

[@mrliberox]

I know the Honor & Huawei laptops are not that popular, but I was thinking to buy "Honor Magicbook Pro 16" and the reason why I specific want this one, because it's the new release proper Honor's gaming laptop, and the Ecosystem is really good for around 1550€ (RTX 4060 edition)

Between Computex next week, M4 MBPs launching in the autumn & CEX in January, the laptop market will have a whole new generation of models to consider.

[@superghd]

Such a great video, I really like how you guys recognise how difficult is to choose a gaming laptop nowadays. While you guys do not include it under the gaming category, would you recommend the Yoga Pro 9i with an RTX4070? I do not play the most demanding games (mostly FIFA) and I feel like the laptop offers the same premium feel as the G16 but with less fan noise (and a smaller price tag!). Also...how was the battery life for the Yoga Pro 9i in real life use? Thanks!

[@houssamalucad753]

As far as other reviews say the Yoga is a great option, as premium as the G16 but keep in mind a bit heavier, so the G16 might still be worth it if you're ready to do some tweaking to make it run quieter and cooler. But anyways, fifa is an easy game to run so even cheaper 4060 laptops would work for you just fine.

Or do you think that for those high prices a macbook pro would just be better? (a zephyrus g16 with a 4090 here costs almost 4000€...). I'm a creative professional. I do graphic design, video editing and like to include some 3d work and well, if I could I'd like to do some gaming on my spare time as well. I'm very confused as where to spend so much money...

I have to disagree with the review on the asus g16 oled vs the alienware m16 r2. I am using both right now and the alienwares fan is SO loud, I can even hear it humming during idle! The asus on the other hand is so much quieter.

Really. You have the R2?

@@JustJoshTech Yes, ive been testing both on diablo 4 and the alienware is very loud even after I tried messing with the fans in their software. the g16 is way quieter when compared to alienware m16.
