Gaming Laptop Deals & Offers

Oos

Believe me, even this good price is a bunch of money, having bad luck from the start is a good reason to stay away, especially when competition is huge. Had used many brands indeed and had an Inspiron in the past that survived for years, but wasn't impressed. With this new one, before it died I was disappointed by its weight and bulky form. It's weird how plastic feels, even if its made from metal. Touchpad is insensitive and buttons clicks, fan is very active when you do simplest tasks. If you have a dell, you want to hear good things about it, but for me, whilst hp, asus, lenovo and tens of brands are on the market, dell will be a no.

I'd argue you are probably the exception rather than the rule to be honest - much as I feel for you when a brand new piece of kit doesn't work right off the bat, I've owned a number of Dell laptops over the years and without exception they have been very reliable! This seems to be a very decent spec for the money - I would have liked 16GB of RAM and an SSD in place of the HDD but these are easily remedied! Main gripe is the 60Hz screen but you can't have everything at this price point!

I hope this deal helps some people, same as I hope that my comment will make up your mind too. Bought this from Dell, opened up, finished the setup, haven't installed any games or something, shut down over night, next day turned on the button, leds were flashing and fun were noising, but the display was death black for ever. Tried a couple of times over the day, packed back and sent it to Dell to get my precious money back. It may be an isolated case, but from now on I'll definitely choose another brand.

60Hz according to Currys.

There is a code that brings the price down once applied, you know... Do people not read the whole story? Not surprised same deals get posted again and again...

Yep, gone up a bit

Looks like this deal is over now. Listed for £1,149.00

This deals makes it a much harder decision between the g3 Intel19th with 2060gpu

Depends the wattage used by HP, and based on the 2019 cooling (not Brill to be honest, my cpu gpu used to run 90+ in gaming) The 2080super has a base 80w tdp and max 150w,so depends what hp are doing, and that can't see, as their bios doesn't allow changes etc. But from tech docs they are shipping the 330w psu with the 2070/2080 machines so theoretically they have headroom to run pretty hot. Who knows till we get reviews though I suppose. nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/gaming-laptops/

Traditionally Omen 17s have always had Max P and been about the best damn value gaming laptops you can get, I've had a few, although sometimes they have other issues like not best panel or not best optimised heatsink/heatpipe cooler layout. The 15" variants are always max q (which makes sense). Currently running the 2019 i9/2080 model.

The product page linked to in the Get Deal link says it comes with a 330W power supply. It also says to see Footnote 8 for further details on the graphics card... however for me there is no Footnote 8 on the page!

not a gaming machine with an AIO cooler 8) sound has always been an issue for me, don't think I'll ever be getting a gaming laptop :(

The 2019 did, but can't say for this, that was a 2070maxq with a 9th series i7. Tech manual looks like a similar heat pipe system, so I'd hazard that it too is fairly noisy, but hey all gaming machines with this spec level is going to be a bit loud, as it needs airflow to stay cool. Just par for the course really. support.hp.com/gb-en/product/omen-by-hp-17-cb0000-laptop-pc/26122176

Parsec which I also listed let's you go to any refresh rate your host supports: Pushing It To The Limit — Parsec At 240 Frames Per Second With Just 4–8 Milliseconds Of Lag - https://blog.parsecgaming.com/parsec-game-streaming-total-latency-at-240-frames-per-second-c0818cc0daa5 It's all just using x/h265 (or 264 as fallback) it's just an encoder it will encode as many frames as you want, just a lot of apps by default will use 60fps as its the current standard but it is in no way a limit on the streaming tech.

He’s not getting 120fps I don’t think, my IPad Pro is 120hz and it’s still 60hz, it flicks between 59/60 rapidly........he can run the info option to prove which he probable can’t, sorry but it’s not like upscaling hd into 4k like nvidia shield, steam link app throttles the bandwidth to ensure it’s smooth probably for the average connection, this is Steam even advising in the article also. I’ve seen a couple of reddit posts about phones and steam app (even if 300fps would be awful though on tiny screen?) and they have advised it’s not the case. There’s no magic stream in existence from steam or nvidia atm, not even aware of anything else, I wish it was so

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam_Link/comments/97wqh5/-/e4d3zgs Guy getting 120 fps on his razer phone, your devices on both sides need to support the refresh rate. Input lag is not really noticeable unless you have a bad connection, I've been playing dead cells and some other fps games with it without any noticeable input latency. Sure there will always be more than wired and direct but the convenience far outweighs the negligible impact. If you are a competitive gamer then this may have an impact, also if you have wireless device on your thin client will add latency). If it helps I also stream VR over 5ghz WiFi without problem to my oculus quest with this setup and have played payday 2 max settings in VR over WiFi and its been superb as well as other pc vr games.

You’re wrong there, Ive already tested steam link app, it throttles to 60 and displays this when you turn the info display on........ also https://store.steampowered.com/steamlink/about States the below: ‘Can I adjust my settings for better performance quality? Yes. There is an advanced settings menu option that allows you to tune streaming resolution and bitrate for the best experience on your setup. Over a 5 GHz network, our target is 1080p at 60 FPS with good quality for most scenes. If you have a powerful gaming rig, wired network, and a very good client device, it’s possible to stream at 4K 60 FPS.’ So your basically downgrading performance by using the app on your potato and it your to play online you’ll suffer some serious input lag too so online is ruled out (FPS mainly). Steamlink does work well for some things but the dropped frames is too much for me

Steam link hardware can't, steam link app can, and parsec can (as long as your monitor or virtual monitor dongle supports it).

Very nice spec, if you have a spare 2k to throw about go for it.

nah, I think it will be the mobile version bit less power and bit less frame rates at the end but still a monster.

all that for 1080p gaming?

Possibly a stupid question but is that 2080 Super the same as a desktop 2080 Super? Surely not... The size difference must be quite huge?!

Recommendation please: HP Omen 17 or this setup for £1700? CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS RAM: Corsair 16GB(2x8GB) 3600MHz CL18 Vengeance RGB Pro GPU: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming Pro OC 8GB GDDR6 :SSD ADATA 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe XPG GAMMIX S5 CPU cooling: SilentiumPC Navis Evo ARGB 240 2x120mm Case: be quiet!

If I remember correctly it was VIP code. Nocked down about £100 off original price.

£809 is a good price for this. Is this after any discount? What was the original price?

It was available at the time of the order.

Is this the IdeaPad gaming 3i? I don’t think it is available to order from the Lenovo website yet. Sales say it will be available to buy from their website in 3 weeks time.

If you bothered enough to ask here, what's stopping you? They'll be able to give you a definite answer as well.

Ok. I've bitten the bullet and ordered this. The gaming capabilities of this looks good to for the price

Clarifying a simple point here. As this has a Ryzen 4 series chipset, this is a new product. However, the confusion is, HP will be releasing "newer" models throughout this year (expected release date before end of June 2020). So in accordance to that, this is an "old" machine, but in fact its actually a new 2020 machine. Hope that helps clear thing up. With regards to Amazon, they're generally pretty good and generally only take payment when an item is ready to be shipped. So I'm not sure what's going in with orders. Final thing to note is, this deal will be scorching, very good specs for the price, but I personally will not be buying as I'm waiting for the new Omen to be released later this month. Voted hot, thanks for posting @Tacavas .

I always thought Amazon’s policy was to only take money once the product has shipped and that was a way they got around not needing to honour any mid-pricing.

I paid for one and the money was taken out of my account for a few days and then transferred back into my account. Order is still live on Amazon and I've not cancelled it so a bit confusing.

Yes it does about 5 days after purchase

Ahh typical I picked up the R2 from the dell outlet the just days ago. The R3 will be an absolute beast if this R2 is anything to go by. Given that the R2 & R3 share alot of the the same parts/build here are my thoughts. Pros- Display - "Opted for the 4K OLED" - like you get a choice... from the outlet. Those thinking they NEED a high refresh rate monitor I am firmly in your camp given the choice. But i am hardly mad I got lumped with this screen, the colour re-production is Phenomenal. 60hz 1ms is good enough for most FPS's for me if my kill death ratio is anything to go by. Keyboard - Very good considering non mechanical. Cons- Battery - Leaves a lot to be desired, 2 hours 45 mins max for me. OLED is to blame here. Footprint - Its a big boy compared to competition. Bio-metrics - The Alienware implementation of Tobii is missing the Windows hello feature the retail version has. Ultimately if you are looking at this you probably considering a £2,600 RTX2070 super Razer or the £1,800 RTX2060 ROG G14. The ROG is amazing but the screen @25ms response is DOA for me. The Razer looks great but the brand tax is a bit high for me and i have previously owned a stealth with QC issues. At this price the Dell is a steal you add Dell is a brand in the UK i trust to have the support i want if something were to go wrong.

is this still working?

Well your right, Its only going to be good in esports style games and the mobile cpu on top of the gpu is never going to push many games at this framerate, Tho your desktop is going to run super smooth I guess

For this price I would just buy a XSX PS5 and a desktop (ninja)

It means git gud :D

I’m looking for a home laptop with backlit keyboard and finding it’s mainly only gaming that have them. Would this be fast as a day to day laptop so lots of internet browsing and ms office use?

Think all gaming laptops when playing a game are loud, is it silent out of game thou, like just using desktop stuff like browsing ?

I have just finished setting mine up, I only play Runescape3 so no hardcore gaming. This is my first gaming laptop, everything from Excel, word email web browsing with multiple screens and playing my online game at the same time works perfectly. My only noticeable thing is the fan noise while playing my game but I’m sure all gaming laptops have this. I originally was going to buy Acer predator 300, I’ve spent less than half on this and very happy so far.

Decent, cheers. Mine is due on Monday thankfully, can't wait.

To anyone who's purchased it, what's your impressions so far? Worthy buy?

I haven't got this laptop, did you buy this recently? It doesn't sound right that the laptop is freezing every game you play. Does the laptop need a reboot every time you play a game? Have you made sure the drivers in the laptop are up to date? If you have the same version as advertised here: MSI Alpha 15 A3DD then I would first make sure to update the drivers to their latest version here: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/Alpha-15-A3DD

Hello I have now got this laptop and every game I try including gears tactics makes the whole laptop freeze and I am forced to do a hard reset have you come across this issue yourself ??

Don't think this is fast enough for VR.

Looking for something to use for VR would this be any good ?

Not really accurate, is it? this GPU should provide with similar FPS to those of a 1660 ti Max-Q and can achieve over 120 fps in medium or higher details in the following games Overwatch World of Tanks Rainbow Siege The Witcher 3 CounterStrike Go BIoshock Infinite Rocket League Fifa 20 Gears Tactics and more. So it is not

Mine did, you should get an email. It says tracking will be available after it gets to their Netherlands sorting centre from China.

The temps he got are wrong, it maxes out at 85°C His wattage figures are wrong as well. Also the screen supports Freesync, but he didn't have drivers installed correctly (he later confirmed in the comments)

At last, a half decent review of the Dell G5 SE but it's far from complimentary! This guy's conclusion is the machine runs hot....VERY HOT! I'd already decided against buying one on price grounds but this review has just made me think I made the right decision. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see the 5600m superseded with a more power efficient RDNA2 mobile GPU.

Anyone elses say shipped? When you click on tracking though, it just times out.

Keep in mind that this GPU + AMD's Smart shift puts the performance between an RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 MaxQ. For that price, this is insane. Shame about the build quality though.

That review isn’t filling me with confidence, spec sounds worse than the old version and it’s more money!

According to Trusted Reviews; the HP Omen 15 will cost £1099 for the cheapest version (https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/hp-omen-15-2020-release-date-price-specs-and-design-4035675) 4600H processor, GTX 1650Ti GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and Full HD display, That's pretty disappointing in comparison to Dell's offering

code not working

which is a better laptop for creating videos? Alienware, XPS or G3?

Any content creators considering this laptop? Looks like a beast of 4k editing maching

Keep in mind, the 9300H runs HOT. I'm talking 90-100C with the fans on full blast when gaming or doing any CPU intensive work. The 10300H will run even hotter.

That's not entirely accurate. They have the 9300H scoring 1617 in Cinebench R20, but I get over 2000 in my Dell G3

Open the back of the laptop and put an additional 1TB SSD or HDD.

how do you upgrade the ssd to 1tb?

No one serious uses User Benchmarks. It is run by an Intel fanboy. See the video from Hardware Unboxed, my point remains.

As someone who has this same machine with an upgrade to 16gb of ram I would say you can probably get more for your money.

I will do in future. Lol. Just waiting on cex to have decent stock and lower price. They put price up a little due to covid-19. And not getting enough stocks due to shops being closed. I think I paid £45 for my 2666mhz ram

Deals come here everyday and they go quick so its hard. Getting to know Ryzen chips myself. This 3550h is equivalent to an i5-9300h. At this kind of money I'd try go for i7 equivalent model which would be 3750h. I think the 4th gen chips are round the corner too and they are hugely improved so if you can wait then do this.. also the 10th gel intel cpu would be selling then too like the 10750h. I bought My HP Omen as I found it cheap on CEX website due to them pricing it with 500GB HDD instead of ssd. So I paid £740 for i7-9750h, 1660ti 8GB ram, 512GB NVME m.2. With the savings I put in anothr 16GB 2666mhz ram and a 2TB Samsung QVO 2.5 SSD to install all my games on. Playing GTA on it last night cpu heat was 100°c on cpu and about 70°c on GPU. When i play gta on my i5-9600k desktop the heat is below 60°c on cpu and GPU. I have tried a few other gaming laptops including an i9 alienware r5 laptop and they all have heat reaching 100°c in cpu. Aparantly its normal :S

I believe with RAM you’re better filling both slots with equal amounts, so might be a good idea to get another matching 16GB (y)

I stuck in 16GB on top to make it 24gb.

Definitely worth getting 1660 ti laptop (y)

Code doesn't apply

If you get laptop as said above go with 1660 ti minimum. Preferabky go for RTX 2060 or 2070. You'll be amazed with the framerates especially in 120 or 144hz. I prefer playing on my laptop screen now rather than my gtx 1080 gpu rig on a 60hz monitor. I will need to upgrade that monitor to 144hz after using the laptop (nerd)

unfortunately discount code doesn't seem to work on sale items

I'm wondering whether it's worth the extra for the Lenovo Y540 here: https://www.box.co.uk/Lenovo-Legion-Y540-17_2614918.html Definitely a 144hz screen and a 1660Ti which seems to comfortably out-perform the 1650 in gaming!
