Gaming Laptop Deals & Offers

Is AMD just as good as Intel? I’m lost, can anyone explain the difference?

If you're happy with refurbs, equivalent spec hp omen 16 has been about £650 fairly recently.

Just return the Lenovo 5 with virtually the same spec. Found it really janky on the frames like 30fps to 150 fps just walking and updated everything I could think of. But could be totally different on this

Hadn’t seen that but from a quick look at reviews the USB-C isn’t powerful enough to stop the laptop discharging while under heavy use (gaming). So you still need the power brick if gaming or making it work hard.

Any of these on offer with the code that have numpad buttons and also that don't look ridiculous?

I did it’s not uncommon think the called it battery expansion- happens with old or liquid damaged batteries apparently . I probably should have changed it when it started getting as hot as the sun about 4 years ago it was nearly 12 years old,,,, That said ripped battery out it now works fine just plugged into the mains and the track pad just clicked back in not broken so hoping it lasts another 12 years

I’d contact Apple, as it shouldn’t do that no matter how old it is!

Thanks for sharing @James_womble

Go to the HUKD d search and type ‘3060’. You’ll see what has come up in the past. To the best of my recollection Lenovo have had their 3060 Ideapad for around £530 twice before, and usually (look over a few years’ worth of deals) those Lenovo ones repeat 3 or 4 times across the year. In reference to your ‘What Lenovo’ just use the HUKD search for 3060. No idea about the build quality of this model vs other brands, horses for courses I guess depending on use cases etc.

Warzone is so poorly optimised, so the a system like this won't get you the highest frames to start with, couple that with how RAM hungry it is, the 8GB ram will then cause frame drops, making the game very difficult to play. This can be upgraded ofc, but costs money, which may be better invested in a better system to start with.

No more difficult than most laptops, as always use gentle pressure, so you don’t snap the plastic clips.

The point is they are different versions of the 3060.. but ok, no worries. I then briefly explained why and the main reasons (in my opinion) why one would buy one over the other. Figured it would be helpful to someone :)

Can anyone who has this laptop recommend a good sleeve for it?. It looks to be bigger than a standard 15.6" laptop, so don't want to get caught out.

I’ve got no idea what your point is. Someone else stated that this was a good price for a 3060 laptop, and I pointed out that 3060 laptops have been £150 cheaper. I wasn’t saying anything else about any features or models or ranges or build quality or TDP or whatever, I was just pointing out that laptops containing an RTX3060 chip have been much cheaper.

Yes cheaper models because lower powered 3060.. 90w tdp I recall?? Vs the legion's 130w tdp (rough figures). The cheaper models like Ideapad, have no mux switch, so can't unlock that extra power of the 3060 card. I presume the screens are similar based on the specs. Some claim the benchmark difference for various AAA games in real terms, were so small between these models, they recommended to buy the Ideapad actually. Price to performance ratio..value etc. The issue is the legion is heavier due to it's higher power AC Power supply/brick, to give you that extra performance.. so that, plus the questionable display (for both models above) isn't everyone's cuppa tea.. Like most things, it depends on your use :)
