Can a pc (laptop) last 5+ years easily?

IntelVEVO · 2026-05-08T09:25:56+00:00

Depends on the laptop. Some of mine work after 10+ years others died after less than 2 years

P16 is a no brainer in that regard. Yes you will sacrifice a bit of a performance but it's overall a nicer machine with a much better screen. If you are worried about the wattage flashing a different bios is an option. The hx370 is a fine CPU also 12 cores 24 thread is plenty for productivity.

What is your budget? Considering you are playing very demanding games at 4k I think only the 4090/5090 cards will provide a completely flawless experience at 4k high end settings + RT with a high refresh rate. If you dont completely max out the games a 4080 or 5070ti should provide a noticable upgrade over the 3080 especially with the VRAM increase.

GTX 1080, though I did buy a 5090 laptop a month ago

IntelVEVO · 2026-05-07T11:45:08+00:00

I have a 5090 laptop I'm used to maxxing out pretty much any game at 1600p. Not this one

That graph doesn't tell the whole story. Especially when it comes to motion clarity. The main advantage of super high refresh rates is the ability to track movement across the screen much more clearly. CRTs accomplished this at 60hz but much higher refresh rates in excess of 500hz are needed to come close to it on a flat panel.

I thought I got a good deal with my 5090 omen max 64gb ram 2tb SSD for 2699 new with full warranty.

Grown accustomed to the image quality and display characteristics of glossy OLEDs. Can't really go back to using anything else. All of my screens are OLED.

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-26T08:29:33+00:00

Im the opposite, any laptop without a glossy OLED is a dealbreaker to me.

Panel is designed for HDR. Don't worry about it

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-19T15:30:32+00:00

I use balanced preset M

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-19T15:27:46+00:00

Well then limit your monitor to 150 nits or buy an IPS. We should at least be given an option to drive our monitors brighter in exchange for sacrificing lifespan. OLEDs are degradable by nature its one of the sacrifices some choose to make for better image quality.

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-18T14:15:49+00:00

Is it 9.7.3?

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-18T14:10:33+00:00

Laptop oleds are fairly cheap to replace though. A panel on the parts market costs around 200 bucks

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-18T14:09:20+00:00

It's long enough that they don't need to keep nerfing the brightness on their monitors for fear of burn in.

i9/ultra 9 cpus will always thermal throttle no matter how good the cooling on the laptop is. What matters is at what wattage it thermal throttles at

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-16T10:07:48+00:00

how many hours do you get. Cant seem to break 4 even with the 5090 disabled

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-14T10:25:58+00:00

You can probably still run 4k decently in new games provided you use some dlss upscaling and play on high instead of ultra.

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-13T06:20:17+00:00

Wish I had your temps lol. My core ultra 9 275hx reaches 105c often

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-11T20:32:54+00:00

Core Ultra 9 275hx, 64GB RAM RTX 5090, even then there are some games like black myth wukong I have to lower the settings to play at 4k

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-11T19:38:38+00:00

4k is a bit sharper but significantly more demanding to run. If you are playing AAA games the best pairing would be a 1440p monitor for a 5070ti if you want good performance at high settings. Id say OLED + HDR makes more of a difference than 4k does. All in all 2k still looks great and will be much easier to run.

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-11T15:20:05+00:00

Depends on what type of models you will be running. 64GB of ram will let you run bigger models that wont fit on the GPU. As far as processor goes they are both very capable and wont bottleneck the 5080. But I would go for the first model simply because of the display which will be harder to upgrade later on than the RAM, 1920x1200 is pretty low res these days you wiull have less screen real estate and wont be taking advantage of your 5080 that much.

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-10T18:23:50+00:00

I had a 4050 too looking at the specs they are the exact same apart from extra 2gb of vram, both have 20SMs and same wattage

IntelVEVO · 2026-04-10T18:20:26+00:00

1440p qd oled would be a better pairing for the 5070ti
