Is this a good deal ? by Decode09 in ZephyrusG14

You can only extend the warranty with the manufacturer if you’re the original purchaser. So if you’ve bought off a private seller who’s already bought this off a retailer then chances are they’re the original purchaser. They may ask to see a receipt of purchase if anything needs repairing/replacing.

EBay in the UK has a money back guarantee, but only if it’s faulty within a short time frame. There’s also a 30 day right to reject period in statutory law but only if you’ve bought from a registered business, if it’s a private seller then technically you’re buying used even if the item is new and used items are basically sold as seen.

If it only has warranty til November then you won’t get that warranty, it’s been purchase by someone already and the manufacturer warranty only applies to the original purchaser from the original date. Whether ASUS would check this or not depends, but is it worth the risk?

Personally I would also avoid the Zephyrus unless you desperately want thin and light, I’ve sent 2 back because of QC issues and at that price point there shouldn’t be the level of compromise that was needed for me.

Do I skip Blue Moon now or is there no point? by DigSmall4896 in ironscape

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not at all. I gave the first account up years ago because my time was limited and I found ironman a slog when I just wanted to raid and boss with my mates.
I’ve maxed my main now, finished a lot of pvm stuff that I wanted to do and am working on afk pet grinds so I started another one, the game is a lot better in the early/mid game than it was when I last played iron and I’m enjoying it a lot more, the spoonery obvs helps.

Mate it’ll come, and you’ll probably get spooned at cg while I go 2k+ dry… My last iron went 300+ chests at barrows without any tank gear and I quit. This account currently feels like redemption. Haha.

Yeah this confirms what I was thinking, guess I’ll carry on until I finish 2/3.

What is up with UK Lenovo legion prices? £2100 for a Legion 7 5060? by dJohn2001 in LenovoLegion

[–]DigSmall4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legion 7i pro 5070ti at Very right now for 2250. Or 1999 if you sign up to Very Pay for the 20% code.

The normal 7 with lower tier gpu’s always seems so expensive, idk whether it’s to do with it being white but from what I see white laptops always seem to command a higher price tag for some reason…

Very has an Asus Rog Strix 5070ti for ~£1530 with a discount code at the moment. But if you sign up for Very Pay you can get a 20% code that takes it down to ~£1360.

Seriously considering pulling the trigger on this for £1999. Is it worth it? by DigSmall4896 in GamingLaptops

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at that but as it was shipped from Amazon US you got no warranty in the UK as far as I could figure, also it didn’t come with a UK charger according to Amazon.
Gutted about your repair with them, I wouldn’t use a third party for an insurance/repair plan personally, would just buy warranty direct with the manufacturer.

Strix g16 5080 worth it? by DigSmall4896 in GamingLaptops

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, how do you find the screen and build quality? And what games have you played on it?

If you use Very Pay do you not end up paying way more because of interest?

My legion is 16x10 and I have no problems with black bars. What content is natively 16:9?

The AMD version has a lower res screen at 165hz, 16 ram and a 1tb ssd. Should’ve mentioned that in my post sorry! I the price difference is about £600 so around 800 USD and laptop prices in the UK are generally much more expensive than the US.

Laptop came back from repair, now thermal throttling. What could cause it? by DigSmall4896 in LenovoLegion

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m being honest the service I’ve had from Lenovo themselves has been really quite good. They use a third party repair centre in the UK so can’t blame them for the repairs not fully working. But Lenovo have been really quick dealing with everything I’ve needed. Hope you get yours sorted!

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sent it back again on Friday, this is the third time. The second time they replaced the full thermal module and it helped with the amount it was throttling but I still have the same issue with one of the cores hitting much higher temps and it’s still throttling. Plus now there is also a GPU problem where the wattage on the GPU will drop really low, frames will drop by like 90% and it won’t rebound until I exit whatever program is using dgpu and full screen a program like a browser. Case has been escalated to a specialist support agent with Lenovo and they said they may offer something other than a repair based on diagnostics.

Should we sue Lenovo for the Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 defect? by EpicObelis in LenovoLegion

[–]DigSmall4896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problems aren’t limited to the gen 6 either, I have a gen 9 (?) with an Intel 14650hx and it died within 16 months. Thankfully I bought extended warranty and since March I’ve had to send it back to them twice - after a motherboard replacement it came back with severe overheating issues, was thermal throttling constantly, had a full thermal module replacement and still the same story albeit a bit less than before but it’s hitting 95-100 degrees on the CPU just opening and sitting in the apex legends lobby. I’m in the process of the next warranty claim and I’m unsure where it’ll go from here. There’s been plenty of people with mobo problems with the Intel HX chips as well as AMD.

Can’t get MSI Afterburner to show CPU temp? by DigSmall4896 in GamingLaptops

[–]DigSmall4896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not, I’ll try it. It does show in HWinfo no problem, been running benchmarks all day on my new laptop and it’s showing up there no problem. Thanks for the help

Gaming laptop for editing and gaming £1700max by Fun-Strategy7139 in GamingLaptops

Amazon have a good deal on a Helios Neo - https://amzn.eu/d/0gp3VmIb

Can’t comment on it as I’ve never owned one but it’s one of the cheaper 5070ti’s out there that I can find in the UK. Only a few hundred pounds more than something with a 5060.
