@sh-bm3islast year Glad to see more Budget laptops features on the channel....keep bringing them more often 46
@

@MuhammadArshad92last year Awesome review as always! I wonder if you'll be reviewing the tuf a15 2023 with 7940hs?since last year's was high up your recommendation, would be great to see a review of this. Also there isn't any Phoenix Point APUs review yet on your channel this might be a good contender! ... 6
@

@viniciusfreitas98last year On my country,Acer has launched the 16' one with a few changes on the specs,it's a 120w 4050,a 100% sRGB screen with the same resolution from the model you've talked about in the video with a higher refresh rate,165hz, and an i7 13700H.
I want to buy a laptop with a 3060,but,a 4050 will get more longevity in the long term,I think,and even though is expensive,it might be more worthwhile.
A brazilian youtuber had mentioned you on some videos and I came to your channel. ... 77
@

@justforkicks7779 months ago Also with the cool band t-shirts nice vids been learnings quite a few things getting ready to upgrade to a new laptop my main concern is the heating issue
@

@lostskull7467last year I wonder how cool this laptop runs considering the wattage limit 14
@

@MoRDekai1364last year So glad to see a video of Nitro series. 1
@

@Meczoxlast year Another banger, still waiting for zephyrus g16 and legion slim 5i 😂🎉🎉
Btw will u also be reviewing msi studio 16? 1
@

@mohit9206last year Good one, would also like to see a comparison between 4050 and 4060 to decide if 4060 is worth $200 or so more especially for the extra 2gb vram 30
@

@excessmateriallast year I know its based on when you could get one, but I'd love to see a review of the ASUS TUF A17 (2023) specifically with the Ryzen 9?
I never see anyone reviewing the Ryzen 9 version on here. 2
@

@the-aviatorlast year Acer almost never disappoints with their nitro 5 lineup! It's a great budget gaming laptop 312
@

@joelconolly5574last year Acer Nitros are few of the best budget machine to release. It's better in most features for it's price, but not more. At least the updated design keeps the components cooler. Overall a great budget device. Definitely get it if you want an affordable gaming machine. ... 9
@

@gabor-tothlast year Hi Jarrod, is there a chance you'll be able to review the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i (Gen 8)? Where I live, a 4060 Slim 5i costs about the same as a 4050 Pro 5i with the same config (13th gen i7, 16 GB, 1 TB) and I wonder why. ... 2
@

@edigarr4964last year Would have been nice to see the gpu temps. 26
@

@calebgolding2744last year Looking forward to the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i Gen 8 review 3
@

@GreenHAWG6last year Awasome! could you reveal Gigabyte G5 KF with 75W 4060? It seems like the best option for that category 4
@

@allyance88466 months ago Thank you for these laptop reviews. Greatly helped me to shortlist few laptops which I’ll be needing for university work+gaming. Plus points for wearing metal bands’ t-shirts! 2
@

@AristelCrowleylast year Jarrod can you make a video on the new ideapad gaming 3 that has 7535hs cpu and rtx 4050 gpu? I'm trying to buy it but kinda scared it might be not worth it. 2
@

@khmayu2377last year Hey Jarod, thank you for your review as always.
Is there a chance you will review the newest Acer Predator Helios 16 too in near future? 1
@

@tigeralpha7600last year Hi Jarrod what's your take on the cyborg 15 with 4060 and sword 15 with the 3060, how will they compare to the 4050 considering they are about $1000, as you showed in your video that after 85w tdp the performance remains the same, also what is your take on the aorus with 4060 it just about $1100 will you review that? ... 7
@

@eightleafgaminglast year Hey man, would love to see a video showing which laptops perform the best on battery power only! Awesome content as always 8
@

@TabalugaDragonlast year Isn't this the proof that msi could have installed a second fan and made the laptop more powerful for the money they are asking?
Thanks for review. What about thermals though? I'm guessing they should be different this time due to Lovelace architecture. ... 1
@

@sampletext9455last year Glad to see they are improving esthetically
@

@unionofslavstanrepublics2317last year An actually decent wattage RTX 4050!
Definitely don't buy the cyborg 15 or GF63, buy this! 77
@

@micha8701last year I'm quite supriced it's so much faster than 2021 version with rtx 3060 80-95w. I know rtx 3060 need to be over 100w to beat 4050(if both same power lvl), but that diffrence is still large. 12
@

@adipramono1666last year hey i was wondering since ROG g16 has just released, can you do comparison between its core i5 13450hx and core i7 13650hx ? i;m curious in its battery performance. and from what i heard, the i5 is comparable to the previous gen 12700H ...
@

@jaimemigueltorres4890last year Yeah still really happy for what I bought which is Asus TUF A15 2023 having the same graphics card and also the build quality with a better battery. 7
@

@nokshidongotdeletedlast year I have been tempted to get the acer nitro 5 many times. But, it's display is what holds me back everytime. Hence, I have to go with a higher budget laptop like Legion or so. 53
@

@That_One_Guy115last year I wonder how it would compare to the Asus G16 equipped with an i5 13450HX and an RTX 4050 2
@

@Sir_Sensei6 months ago I got the Nitro 17 for $850 very recently so with you saying this I don’t regret the purchase.
I have a pretty feasible desktop build but this is my first “gaming” laptop
@

@na3687last year U should check out the ROG Flow z13(2023) RTX4050, it’s pretty beastly too 2
@

@iLLmaticV3last year Love your reviews bro!! Always extremely helpful 🫡 5
@

@kingmarx810last year Thanks for the video. I saw this laptop on sale and couldn't wait to hear your thoughts on it. Glad to hear it would be a good value gaming laptop.
@

@infernal-toad4 months ago It was a suprise that the Acer Nitro laptops are now splitted into 3 models with this being the last one of the original Acer Nitro 5 laptops. But I really wonder how good the Acer Nitro V 15 would be since this is now the entry level gaming laptop while the 16/17 are now mid-range. ... 1
@

@alexzanderhero3708last month Hey Jarrod, what would you recommend? This model or the Lenovo Loq?
@

@Nersiuslast year Really confused atm:
To me, an Acer XX50 laptop should be 800USD, w/ the premium XX50ti w/ more storage/ram being around 1000usd.
But that paradigm was set when screens were only 60hz. 4
@

@kentchristianmartinez3352last year @Jarrod, we want your review for Helios Neo 16, Helios 16 and New Nitro 16. 🥺 2
@

@therealbilaal8758last year would you say the 4060 tuf a15 for $1200 is worth it over the 4050 nitro 5? 1
@

@proto_4813last year Hey Jarrod, will you review the new Lenovo LOQ Line-Up as well when you get your hands on it ?
@

@K1RBY_ttvlast year Quick question I’m buying a starter laptop to cloud game on and play small games like minecraft it it’s specs are:
Intel uhd 600

Windows 11 home
64gb eMMc storage

@

@jcmolero712 months ago I've been looking and I saw a Nitro 5 similar but processor is i7-12650H and 4060 of graphics for 899 bucks, is it a better deal, right? (AN515-58-78BT) 1
@

@ashwinganapathy223last year Weird that 4050 series laptops are already dropping prices now. I expected the 3060 will be cheaper but still they are not. 3
@

@tysage1473last year I got the Acer 5 17.3 inch it's on sale on micro center I bought the MSI katana the screen was just not good enough and for two hundred dollars more I get a Qhd screen and a 13th gen i7 instead of a 12th gen i7 double the storage and double the battery life with the same 4060 ... 1
@

@LTLoudpack71006 months ago I had one of these a couple years ago, and my main gripe would definitely be screen brightness.
@

@FizzleNickel9 months ago @JarrodsTech can you possible either do a vid or just straight up tell me is the acer(2022) 3070ti 165hz 1tb 16 gs laptop on your laptop deals page worth it ? 1
@

@K24Blast year Can you review Ideapad gaming 3 4050? It's interesting to see what Lenovo will offer in 4050 lineup.
@

@Keiara-vx5cq9 months ago Is this the same as the Nitro 16 Phoenix? I got a pretty cheap deal for a Nitro 16 Phoenix but still wondering 1
@

@Admeowlast year Will you review the ASUS TUF A15 2023 version soon? 1
@

@philipgabatino442211 months ago This nitro 5 or lenovo idea pad gaming 3(also rtx 4050). Almost same price. Thoughts?
@

@gorunmezninja731411 months ago I am in between dell g15 and acer nitro 5. Which one do you think is better?
@

@MegaLoquendo2000last year Can't wait for it to arrive at my country with a slight 30% price hike, its vram pool of 6gb seems like a risky purchase nowadays, with the ps5 pro/series whatever coming soon, future games will be more demanding (obviously) aside from being optimized more poorly, the latter being the bigger problem, I for once praise AMD for putting 16gb on a 500 dollar card; poor rtx 3070 and 3080 buyers ...
@

@bairaqarpinker7460last year I wonder does 30 series have same power limits as 40 series? Like is it better to buy 3070ti Nitro instead of 4070 one for example
@

@hardcore0taku655last year Hi jarrod please includ a performance test on games like modern warfare 2
@

@imkayjaylea2 months ago There's a listing for a 4050 Nitro V at Harvey Norman for the same price BigW has a Steamdeck OLED.
It looks like it'd smash it out for gaming on itself and a larger screen through HDMI 😊
@

@unbotheredchicolast year Is this laptop compatible enough to run music production softwares? Example Protools, cubase and logics
@

@heatherguzman434last year Please do a video on the msi stealth 17 105 4090. Do you think it’s good buy Jared !???

@

@moonglaive5686last year please do one for helios 16, wanna know how much better it is compated to last year's helios 300
@

@lonenh2last year Hello Jarrod. I'm thinking of getting the asus tuf a15 ryzen7 6800hs with 3060(6Gb) but I'm also inclined towards the new acer predator helios neo 16 with i7 13th gen and rtx 4050(6Gb). There aren't many reviews about it so idk if it'd be a good pick yet.
P.s : this would be my first gaming laptop,I'll be doing college work(coding) and i also intend to do content creation with this so it'd be really helpful if you can give me some advice soon :)) ...
@

@LifeTweakerlast year Henlo Jarod, please review Acer Helios 16 ... Do cover i5 4050 variant if possible ❤️
@

@jezreeldanecon102211 months ago Do you have a comparison between this and the Asus TUF series?
@

@GewelReallast year honestly, if I were shopping for 4050 laptop, I'd rather get a low power version 5
@

@ColJack1008 months ago Dear Jarrods,
I was wondering if you could recommend me a laptop out of those:
1. Acer Nitro 5 Gaming; 2. MSI Thin GF63 12VF-290; 3. HP VICTUS 16-r0175ng and 4. GIGABYTE G5 KF-E3DE313SH.... I struggle to decide as for me all 4 seem the same. Most important for me is that it isnt loud.
thank you :) ...

@

@Almazmii10 months ago In my country there's the Acer nitro but with an RTX 3060 and a 12th gen i7 with same ram and storage and rgb keyboard with windows 11 but it's $1000. I mean a PC would be much better for that price but I don't really have space to put a PC in my house. Do you suggest I get this laptop or get a PS5 with great performance and much cheaper? ... 1
@

@davianfoster866111 months ago Hi jarrod... New subscriber.. But I have watched a lot of your videos before... If you haven't already i would like for you to review Asus ROG Strix G16 with i7 13gen and RTX4060.. Is this good laptop for my first gaming laptop? ...

@

@doubleshot944810 months ago Man I was just watching this video for the 3rd time (been doing a lot of research) it is a great deal at $949 from new egg, and the performance reviews. This was after a lot of research into laptops. I decide to buy this. Now I check his list the Acer nitro 5 2022 QHD with 3070ti 8gb vram, AMD 6800H 16gb of DDR5, 1TB nvme, on sale at Best Buy for $999. Yo I legit just returned another laptop I was doing research on to see how well it ran D4 (good btw) at best but yesterday. My god if I saw that deal I probably would’ve ordered it right there, instead of the nitro 5 12500, 4050 6gb, 16gb ddr5, 512 nvme, that I just ordered like 2 hours ago. Considering canceling my order now lol! Does have a 30 day return. Those may be gone by then at that price. ...

@

@nori6237last year You can always trust Nitro with price & performance + cooling too
@

@leledumbolast year MSI was playing the time to market game. They were the first to ship RTX4050, and nobody else have the idea of how the pricing should be. Now the game should be over if they don't cut the price signficantly.
@

@ACitaro5 months ago got the same one except mine has an i7-12650h, it's awesome
and to add to the greatness i apparently got a silicon lottery one
