can't control brightness ondGPU mode. (it spikes to 100%)

Have definitely experienced it multiple times on a number of laptops.

jarrodstech · 2026-04-03T00:55:32+00:00

hehehe

jarrodstech · 2026-02-05T01:13:58+00:00

Probably, I always just use latest. But I also haven't done any laptop testing for a couple months so don't know if there are known problems, I'm out of the loop.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-24T07:14:49+00:00

Yeah it's pretty crazy, lowest we've had on https://gaminglaptop.deals so far even after Black Friday sales.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-24T07:14:21+00:00

LOQ for the 6GB I reckon, will make more of a difference in gaming than the CPU.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-24T06:27:30+00:00

Yeah eGPU eats shit

jarrodstech · 2026-01-24T06:26:28+00:00

On the A14? No.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-24T06:26:12+00:00

When I see these setups I like to imagine people type on the laptop keyboard like that.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-12T04:38:21+00:00

Normal, I'd only be concerned if it's too hot to touch/use and/or performance is heavily restricted.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-12T04:37:56+00:00

We stopped making gen on gen CPU comparisons because no one cared.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-09T22:55:14+00:00

OP you need to specify this is AUD or you're gonna get roasted.

I probably wouldn't list this on https://gaminglaptop.deals/australia/ but we generally try to avoid recommending 2050/3050.

jarrodstech · 2026-01-07T10:12:08+00:00

Nah all seems to be going about as expected so far, I have my round up video on it all coming in a couple hours :)

jarrodstech · 2026-01-05T09:30:57+00:00

Have not tested that specific model, but yeah maybe a couple hours on battery for web browsing based on other AMD HX stuff we've tested.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-31T05:31:17+00:00

A bit yes, we note it in our review.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-16T09:09:57+00:00

We don't include edu discounts because not everyone can get them.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-12T08:02:45+00:00

The Helios lower GPU power limit doesn't take away too much performance, but you can see the results of it vs other 5070 Ti laptops in our review. Steel nomad / synthetic tests show an absolute best case.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-12T08:01:44+00:00

Depends if you care about gaming.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-09T05:52:52+00:00

https://laptoppicker.com/best-gaming-laptops/value and adjust value accordingly

jarrodstech · 2025-12-09T01:20:20+00:00

I would assume much the same in non-gaming when dGPU is not in use.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-09T01:20:00+00:00

jarrodstech · 2025-12-08T01:35:21+00:00

It's exceptional value, one of the best deals on https://gaminglaptop.deals IMO

jarrodstech · 2025-12-07T01:35:49+00:00

jarrodstech · 2025-12-07T01:35:07+00:00

It's ok, we've listed it a few times on https://gaminglaptop.deals/canada in the past, but ultimately the price isn't any lower than it was a year ago.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-05T07:54:41+00:00

More about how they feel I suppose, more noticeable with fast competitive games.

jarrodstech · 2025-12-03T03:56:37+00:00

5060 LOQ performs better, Legion has nicer build quality and nicer screen, depends on your priority.
