Been watching you since about 2014 or so and it's great seeing how much you've grown the channel. Great work Ed, keep it up!
NOTE: After 2 years of use it still runs pretty well however you REALLY need to have books to prop up the laptop for cooling circulation. It can easily overheat so get some books or a cooling pad to maximise performance 2 years later.

I've upgraded mine with 64gb RAM and an NVME and I find the battery is being drained because the 200w adapter can't keep up with the power draw. Trying to find a solution, but I can only play 5 hours straight before having to stop and wait for the battery to recharge.

I’d disagree with gaming not needing 16GBs of Ram nowadays, 8 is a minimum but 16GB is pretty safe for gaming nowadays too. Playing Forza Horizon 4 or FF XV can easily get more than 11GBs of ram usage nowadays even when I have nothing else running in the background.

16gbs of RAM is the sweet spot for legit anything, especially intense things. 64 RAM is absolute overkill
@TwinTonyz
4 жыл бұрын
So this laptop will thrive with 64GB of RAM, like deadass run everything but I think I'm understanding why these things were under-powered from the factory. Toss in an actually fast NVME and enough RAM to keep the system from bottlenecking, then you'll find the battery dies when plugged in faster than most laptops do unplugged. Granted I run StarCitizen at highest settings and record it, I think they just can't get enough power to the boards without, idk, legit a second charging circuit?
@TwinTonyz
4 жыл бұрын
@@Dolvondo Also imo 16 is a bottle neck. The most RAM intense game I have, Star Citizen, would crash constantly before I upgraded. After the bump to 64, that game will regularly use 20+GB of RAM and that doesn't start counting in other things the computer might be doing. Even Modern Warfare can grab 12GB for itself these days.

A HDD is very big (3‘5 inch) mostly
Don't forget that gaming laptops like this will perform at 40-50 fps most of the time if you're gaming unplugged. Sometimes the fps can be below 30, so if ur gaming unplugged change the nvidia setting in the control panel to prefer max performance and turn off battery boost + go into windows power settings and change ur power plan, and make one with high performance regardless of battery life. This won't greatly decrease battery life but it is still worth doing if you get this laptop. I learned this the hard way lol. After doing this, its been a blast gaming on this rig.

Really nice review but I think I think it's kind of "misleading" to imply that having a 6 core CPU isn't gonna have any impact on gaming. Also buying a new gaming system in 2018 with anything less than 16GB or RAM would be a terrible choice in my opinion, especially for future proofing. Unless you're on a very tight budget, in which case you can always add more memory later.

Meh 8GB Ram can run literally any game and the only game I've seen that has had problems with a 4 core cpu is Black Ops 4 but that's due to the optimization being poor. He is right but obviously yes in the long run it will make a difference but for now you're perfectly fine. A dual core with hyper threading and 4GB Ram too can run most games as well

6 core is the future for gaming. Buy a good laptop now and hodl it for 5+ years. A few more extra $/€ buys you time to upgrade, no need for running after every 5-10fps. I bought a 8700k OC'd with a 1070, put some nvme and a ssd in it, 16gb ram. DONE. Enough space to upgrade for a 2. GPU and mir Storage. Cost: 1500€ but I gonna keep it for around 8-10 years. Don't buy for 2 years. You gonna be constant broke. Same with my PC: Gtx 560 Gtx 580 Gtx 780 Gtx 1080ti now till 2022 or longer. BUY BIG BUY ON SALE HOLD LONG SAVE MONEY

I feel like it should be mentioned that there are multiple models with two different chassis models with the same specs--there's the old and new design. The ones that are found at Walmart and stuff (ce series) has side io and larger screen bezels, but is built like a tank and have better cooling, while the one shown in this video is a d model, and is sold mostly online only.
Can I install this with a Linux distro like Kali Linux and still get the functionality of adjusting the keyboard backlight since i can't get the the Omen Command centre software compatible with Linux?
