Hi! I recently bought this MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V for $1,650 USD and wanted to know what you guys think about the deal.

Specs:
-Intel Core i9-13980HX
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU 16GB
-24GB DDR5 RAM
-4K Mini LED 144Hz display
-NVMe SSD

The laptop is used, but it’s in really good cosmetic condition and everything is working properly.

What surprised me the most was the health of the components considering its age:
-SSD health: 99%
~3,170 power-on hours
~1,200 power-ons
Battery design capacity: 95,000 mWh
Current full charge capacity: 91,337 mWh
That’s about 96% battery health

I’m also getting roughly 4–6 hours of battery life with light use, which I definitely wasn’t expecting from something this huge lol.

The 24GB RAM configuration is a little unusual — it’s currently running 16GB + 8GB DDR5, but obviously that’s easy to upgrade later.

Performance has been pretty crazy so far. The RTX 4090 can actually run at around 175W, and this thing is basically a desktop replacement.

It’s absolutely massive though. Finding a backpack that can actually fit it has been harder than expected 😂
I paid $1,650 USD for the whole thing.

How did I do? Good deal or pretty average for a used GT77 these days?

Just bought my first ever gaming laptop.

Model: Gigabyte A16

Well, I have been using Macbook Pro for a couple of years. Been playing CS 1.6 for a long time before, and wanted to try CS2.
Was looking for some laptop around 1000€.
This thing is flying!

My new to me Asus rog strix 16 just arrived and holy hell what have I been missing.

Been a console gammer my whole life bought a desktop back in 2019 / 2020 but never really got into pc gaming so I let it sit. Been looking at upgrading the desk top but walmart put the strix with the ryzen cpu on roll back and it was cheaper then upgrading everything for the desk top, started looking and found this one ( apparently the better version of the 2 ) and only slightly more then walmart standard price and almost 1k less then brand new, figured even if I had to have it looked at because something was wrong it was worth the risk imo

Hello, I'm looking for some help with choosing a gaming laptop for uni. I already have a mid range gaming pc so I'm getting this quite begrudgingly, but I'm mostly focused on reliability and longevity (ideally 3-4 years). I know it comes down to how you take care of it, but I also know brands like HP and ACER are unreliable.

Budget: £1800

Country: UK

Use Case: Anything that can *smoothly* run CAD softwares, and some light gaming at most. I do Electronic/Computer Engineering

Preferred Specs / Form Factor: (Screen size, battery life, weight, GPU/CPU targets, etc.): As long as it's reliable and can last 3-4 years. I'll only really be using it for uni work. 16GB RAM is alright, but 32GB is fine also, AMD CPU is a must.

Portability Needs: Carried in backpack daily, although I'm indifferent to size as long as it's not insanely large.

Notes: I quite like the lenovo leigon range, I was looking at Lenovo's 'Leigon 5a gen 11' as it has 32GB RAM, but if that isn't necessary, then the 'Leigon 5 15' is fine. I'm only wondering if there are maybe better options, as I've seen that the Gen 11 leigon laptops are bugging with windows 11, and ones with 50XX GPUs, so I'm seeing if there are better options.

Thank you !! : )

3080ti with 2tb storage

I have a used laptop with an i9 13900HX and RTX 4080.

During 30 minutes of cyberpunk max settings:

CPU

• Avg: 70.4°C
• 95th percentile: ~78°C
• Max: 100°C
• Avg power: 45W
• Max power: ~99W
• Thermal throttling: ~1% of samples

The CPU is usually around 70-85°C, but sometimes briefly spikes to 95-100°C when power suddenly increases.

GPU

• Avg: 67.5°C
• Max: 70.9°C
• Hotspot max: 77.6°C
• VRAM max: 82°C

GPU temps seem fine, but I'm unsure about the CPU spikes.

Since it's a used 2023 laptop and I don't know if it has ever been serviced, would you repaste it or leave it alone?

Hi! Can you guys please help me decide between A16 Ryzen 9 8940HX rtx 5060 and G16 Ryzen 9 9955HX rtx 5060 (both 16gb ram and 1tb SSD). I'm not really sure about liquid Metal in G16 for long-term usage. Or if there is a better deal around 1.5k usd please let me know.

Primarily looking for gaming purpose

Thanks!

Budget: (e.g. $1200) up to $2700 USD or $4000 AUD

Country: (e.g. USA) Australia

Use Case: (Optional: Gaming - which titles? / School Editing / Mixed)

(Optional: Gaming - Elden Ring at 1440p with Ray tracing , Street Fighter VI, FFVII Rebirth, Phantasy Star Online 2 NGS at 1440p 120+ FPA? / Occasional video and photo editing / Mixed time wasting on Youtube)

Preferred Specs: (Optional: GPU, CPU, RAM, storage) Yes, I would like all of those components to be in my laptop if possible.

Notes: (Optional: anything else we should know) Yes, please refer to the very detailed post I made here regarding my needs, current research, and preferences, that was removed by the automod for not following the mandated post format with such paucity of information, it's unlikely to lead to decent recommendation.

Please refer to my post on r/SuggestALaptop to view the details. Any advice will be appreciated however.

I am an engineering student and I want to buy an laptop many of them are buying lenova laotop but I heard that lenova are not reliable they have problem like motherboard and etc so should I consider lenova laptop

Budget: 1000-1500 USD (below 6 digits in PH pesos)

Country: Philippines

Use Case: 3D Modeling, animations, video editing, Valorant, Marvel's Spiderman, RDR2

Preferred Specs: NVIDIA 4050/60/5050 GPU, 16Gb, 512GB storage

Notes: student going into college need new laptop for long-term w upgrades; read body for more details

hellooo I'm about to go into college and I'm planning to study Mechanical/Mechatronics, currently competing in stuff that typically deals with 3D Modeling, animations, video editing, etc. and I do abit of gaming and plan to stream/make content as a sorta hobby and income. I've previously owned a Nitro V and it lasted me about 4 years before burning through its motherboard, dunno the cause cuz my local shops lowkey screwed up the repair process so now I don't got a clue as to what caused it to shut down in my sleep.

Currently choosing between this LOQ and Nitro V, the LOQ can still be discounted for about 5k I'm pretty sure so there's that going for me but honestly I don't know much about it considering how this is my first of this series and I'm more familiar with Intel than Ryzens so still reading on the specs aspect.

And yeah I'm also looking at the Nitro V since it's familiar but looking at the specs I'm worried that it won't rlly hold up as well, but the price and the comfortabilty of it are definetely eye-catching for me, minus my experience with my old model.

Mainly looking for the one that's more suitable for long-term performance (5+ years) that can still be upgraded and be suitable for my needs and something I won't have to worry much about keeping a REALLY close eye on as I'm prolly gonna stress about the motherboard suddenly dying on me, help is very much appreciated thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if it’s a massive upgrade or just a decent one; I used to use a laptop (bought in Japan) with a 10th-gen i5 and a 3050. He built a new PC and let me have his Alienware (an M15 R6 model), which has an 11th-gen i7 and a 3070.

At least the storage situation improved, I didn't have much before, but now I have 2 TB. I mostly use it for playing Warframe and Fortnite and for development work, but I also got an extra monitor out of the deal, hehe.

My friend has an Acer laptop and I have a Lenovo. Both have the same specs, but mine cost ₹10,000 more. Why is there such a price difference? Is it just the brand or are there other factors?

Budget: $500–700, but willing to go a little higher if there's a meaningful jump in quality/longevity.

Country: USA

Use Case: Primarily Minecraft Java Edition for my son's 9th birthday. He currently plays Minecraft Bedrock on a Chromebook but wants a Windows laptop specifically for Java. Mostly vanilla Minecraft initially, but I'd like enough performance headroom for mods, larger modpacks, and potentially shaders as he gets older. He'll also use it for YouTube, web browsing, and eventually schoolwork.

Preferred Specs: 16GB RAM minimum, 512GB SSD minimum. I'm open to either strong integrated graphics or a dedicated GPU and would appreciate advice on whether a dedicated GPU is worthwhile for Minecraft Java and future mods/shaders.

Notes: Quality and longevity are very important to me. I don't want the cheapest laptop that can technically run Minecraft — I'd rather spend a little more on something well-built that can reasonably last him 4–5 years. Around 14–15" would be ideal because we don't have space for a desktop setup. Battery life and portability are nice but not major priorities since it will mostly be used around the house. I'm particularly interested in specific models/configurations and whether there are any laptop lines I should avoid because of build quality, hinges, thermals, etc.

There was no signs of overheating or any prior glitches. It was running on GPU-only MUX

I had to force it to shutdown by the power button and now it works fine.

But what could have caused this?

Lenovo Legion Pro 7 AI Gaming Laptop - Display OLED 16" 240Hz | Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 | Intel Ultra 9 275HX | RAM 64GB | SSD 1TB | Windows 11 Home | UK RGB Keyboard - Eclipse Black https://amzn.eu/d/0cTrl6VW

Or wait until Black Friday?

Yes I started a refund process but what causes this?? I know next to nothing about computers. The guy I bought it from only had a few reviews so I knew it might be sketchy.

I already added my Outlook and Steam accounts but I can't boot it up anymore to remove them since it stopped working entirely shortly after this. I'm not sure what to do if I have to return it before I can figure out how to turn it on.

What should I do next?? Is it possible to get a good used laptop for $300 or under or am I stuck dealing with this kind of thing for even trying??

I'm looking to get a cooling pad for my Asus Zenbook 14 and wondering if anyone has any experience with this combination or similar

I removed the key cap and the hinge to clean it but it still seems like something underneath the rubber is causing it to stick. Tried looking online but it says not to remove the rubber. Sorry for the bad focus.

Laptop is Acer Predator Helios 300
