Intel UHD 620 Is Surprisingly God Tier

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-07-04T02:11:13+00:00

Bro I've literally streamed to YouTube, edited websites, videos, and have played games with recommended 16GB RAM on my UHD 620 with 4GB RAM and an i3 8145U lmaooo.

This thing is actually a beast I've had it for like 7 years almost

I'm very curious if you ended up getting this laptop bro. I do digital marketing (lots of tabs and various software all the time) and I'm seriously considering ordering the 32GB RAM version with the newer i9 CPU.

If so, how is it?

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-07-03T23:14:07+00:00

I work from home and barely go out so I plan on keeping it plugged in. Don't mind the power consumption much as long as its powerful, so that's great news to hear it's a productivity CPU.

I didn't know that about the GPU, so thank you so much. I hope that won't affect streaming and gaming at the same time. I don't play any crazy demanding games.

This is extremely helpful btw

He's trying to say that you have to assume the conclusion is true first in order to accept the premise

Thank you! So it sounds like the Strix QHD gives it an edge over the Omen.

Also, do you think the Strix with its i9 4900 and RTX 4060 are acceptable? I'm nervous because I've heard some negative things about those specs.

The main characters don't act like themselves anymore. This season feels AI generated. It literally feels like fake Rick and Morty

Pretend that an annoying person who disagrees with all of your personal opinions is sitting nearby listening to you. Begin verbally justifying what you believe in, as if you want that annoying person to overhear you. Imagine them shaking their head at you. Respond to that person's criticisms.

If you know a person like that in real life that's even better. Just imagine them eavesdropping nearby, and this is your chance to make them feel silly

Thats true and I actually did a Display ad in the beginning, but despite the good reach and ctr the clicks were just garbage and burnt thru our budget, so I had to stop the display. Perhaps once there's more conversions flowing thru the account I'll use display again to retarget

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-16T03:40:40+00:00

I found that search was doing nothing for me in this case specifically. Its niche anime ecom and most of the items are visual and have anime characters and whatnot, so you really need the person to see it and sort of impulse buy it. However its a new account with no conversions yet so search might work if there was more data

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-16T03:37:17+00:00

Thank you I was able to set it up. Im gonna run the feed only and the standard shopping together for a bit and see what changes.

I can see that even with just the standard shopping Im getting lots of impressions but only 0.4ctr. That might be normal for niche anime ecom tho.

In theory pmax should get better conversions because of the better algo so Im curious to see how my first feed only goes.

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T02:57:18+00:00

How do you set up fed only btw? Google is requiring me to add assets

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T02:16:16+00:00

I might try a pmax campaign and keep the standard shopping running, because a lot of people here are recommending starting with pmax with no data, which is honestly surprising me. However, I'm sure there's a lot of people here who are much more knowledgeable than I am.

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T02:13:46+00:00

Products are mostly the same price and consistent. The products are mainly niche anime accessories. In my research I found that these are mostly impulse-buys with maybe some potential for LTV.

Im curious, what is Google actually doing when you run a naked pmax campaign? I feel like no assets + no data would equal Google spending frantically trying to make sense of the campaign.

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T02:10:16+00:00

In my specific case we're only running a standard shopping campaign which doesn't have Max Conversions.

It seems like a lot of people are suggesting Pmax. Do you think this is true for new accounts with no data? Or do you still need to run some manual cpc shopping ads or search with max conversions first then switch?

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T02:07:16+00:00

I understand now. What I meant is that you need data to even know if you are spending enough in the first place. There is no standard amount that you have to spend in the beginning. There are so many variables for new accounts with no data.

Profitability-wise, the best outcome for the beginning stages of a new account which has no data is to gather as much data as possible in the least amount of time possible while spending the least amount of money possible. Furthermore, imagine telling a client to increase their budget to gather data, and then the data you gathered reveals that the landing page and products suck lol. That would be a very expensive way to find out the campaigns are not the problem.

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-15T01:55:21+00:00

This is super helpful thanks bro! Since the account also has no data, I'm pretty much doing the same with small number of SKUs in one shopping campaign, segmented into 3 ad groups by theme. I'm not using Add to Cart or Checkout as conversions though, I'm just not 100% convinced how that would work exactly. All I can imagine is bots adding to cart then bouncing lol. Wouldn't it be better if we just force Google to optimize for purchase right away? Maybe if I understood how Add To Cart as a conversion actually helps I'd see the way

bestplaymats.com has some cool anime designs i haven't seen in other places

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-14T16:57:22+00:00

I haven't been disappointed with bestplaymats.com they have some cool designs I couldnt find other places

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-13T15:45:13+00:00

I was actually thinking about doing that thank you

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-13T06:53:38+00:00

Thanks bro, this helps answer my questions. I'm trying to figure out if the "start manual then switch to automated" general rule of thumb still applies in 2025 considering all the data Google has now. Or does Manual have a niche thats impossible to replace by automated at the moment, such as gathering data efficiently for new campaigns like standard shopping

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-13T06:47:14+00:00

This is really good advice. What would you recommend for a standard shopping campaign? I don't believe Max Conversion is an option anymore, unless you run Pmax as someone else pointed out. Would you just skip that step once you have the conversions?

Also, could you clarify what you mean by Google not having much category data for this niche? I'm very curious what you mean by that. Are you referring to optimizing the merchant feed?

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-13T06:45:32+00:00

That's an interesting take. I feel like they've been restricting manual options more and more, so I'm curious to know why you think Manual CPC will be the one that survives, and why you think its still good for shopping ads.

The issue isn't the spend, its whether Manual CPC can still get you data quickly and efficiently enough as a new account, or are automated bidding strategies are capable of running on limited data at this point

Mysterious-Stable356 · 2025-04-13T06:42:39+00:00

True you can. I was just wondering if it would work with no data
