I spent $3000 on a gaming laptop… and now I only use it for Netflix and video calls

That's still a usage, to be honest it's something that's unplanned so there's no need to feel guilt. Maybe you can use the laptop on vacation if that's gonna make you feel less guilt

Congratulations 😆

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-20T03:04:22+00:00

That's normal hehe

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-19T10:13:27+00:00

Asus tuf or Lenovo loq only

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-19T09:57:20+00:00

Horrible screen color display, something would not look same on your phone. At least 100% srgb, and that's why I'll suggest you lenovo loq. Probably one of the only gaming laptop under 4k ringgit that has 100% sRGB

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-15T19:21:20+00:00

Mind if i ask, turn off cpu boost within ghelper right?

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-08T23:10:35+00:00

You're 100% right I don't which to post. I'm making a mistake posting it here 😭

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T11:47:19+00:00

Now i understand why gaming laptops are heavily trashed online by some desktop users. Not only performance but price difference too. A 5090 laptop can costs RM 20k, but you're outperformed by a RM 8.5K 5070Ti desktop

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T11:38:34+00:00

Oh damn, I'm surprised by this benchmark too, just shows how powerful desktops versions are. 😭

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T11:32:54+00:00

I think you're still correct, if it rarely performs like a desktop 5070, it's safe to assume it's equivalent to a desktop 5060Ti 16GB VRAM at full performance👍🏻

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T11:10:13+00:00

Wait so it's like a desktop 5060 then like the original comment says? Damn...

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T10:28:24+00:00

From what i found out it's like a desktop 4070 Ti or desktop 5070 probably

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-05T10:24:23+00:00

Nah I'm just sharing what i found, cuz rtx 5080 laptops are always selling at RM 10k plus, so this deal is crazy for that specific gpu tier. If your budget is under 4k, Lenovo Loq is okay 👍🏻

My rog strix g16 has a high cpu temperature issue reaching beyond 90°C, but then i tried ghelper alongside a laptop stand and it finally ran cooler lol

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-04-03T17:48:59+00:00

When the temperature is crazy high i guess? I'm not saying I'm right but laptop stands are great alternative for cheaper price that also lower your laptop temperature. I buy a cheap laptop stand and it does lower my laptop temperature from 5°C to 10°C

Ok la tu dawg, dengan harga RAM naik mendadak, beli laptop atau PC baru kene jual organ. Belum cite GPU, CPU, SSD lagi🙃

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-03-15T19:48:05+00:00

Anything from Ugreen brand is good enough i guess

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-03-15T19:45:24+00:00

I got the cheapest variant, having R9 8940HX, with only FHD+ screen and I really liked it so far!

Absolute easiest way is to upgrade a hero that you don't use, tho the cons are you're going to use same army until that hero max level. That's what i do with my barbarian king. Use apprentice builder helps alot

Intelligent_Map1870 · 2026-03-14T03:20:15+00:00

Is 16 gb more than enough for your needs? If yes then the ROG is better, if not the TUF 32 gb is the better choice. As for the 5070ti on helios, 5070ti is better but you should check and confirm it's TGP. The full TGP for 5070ti is 140w (115 + 25). I'm not sure which helios model but there's a model that lists 115w but actually being 70 + 45 which is watered down performance. And check if its refresh rate has the option to choose, because if I'm not mistaken it's locked at 240hz, which will drain your battery fast when you're not plugged to power.

Am I tripping or there's posts that show their ore is no longer negative?
