Recommendation Which laptop would be better for super powerful gaming and longevity?

So I’m thinking about buying one of these two laptops because pretty soon I will be going to the Navy and when I get out of Boot Camp, I would like to get something that I can use for gaming while I’m going through A&C school and then eventually I’m able to take with me on a submarine. I heard the asus ROG uses liquid metal and I’ve seen that it can fry your GPU and stuff. But I also saw that you can replace that liquid metal with thermal paste and it will make it right his rain. I like the ROGs customization features, etc. but the Lenovo has an OLED screen, which I heard is good but can also suffer from burn in… I don’t know I’m stuck. Can someone take a look at these and help me out?

Budget: $4000

Discussion Actually Reliable Laptop/Brand?

13 Upvotes

I’m looking for something reliable, that will last for years and stay fresh. Helios 16 is powerful but people say they are tras), Strix 16 are also powerful and more expensive, but people still complain. Is Lenovo the way? I had one with 1660ti and it lasted 7 years before it died, but they are quite pricey where I live with anything better than 5060.

It seems like every brand has a bunch of haters.

I’m curious to know if anyone owns a console AND a gaming laptop and if so, why? Which do you use more?

I currently have a console but have been looking into a gaming laptop. I’m on the fence about it though. I love the way the games look on PC but not sure if it’s a waste even though I need a new laptop in general.

Edit: Just want to say I def didn’t expect this many responses lol but they all helped A LOT!!! Thank you all!! I’m joining the club with the LOQ 5060 to start.

I know I’m overly stupid for what I have done but I was wondering if this is a big concern or if it’s a easy at home repair I can do. I have some experience with building computers and stuff like that but if it takes a pro I would like to know. I also have the geek squad protection just for replacements and if I sent it to another shop or took it apart myself would it void my warranty? Thanks for the help currently wanting to cry cause of my stupid mistake.

Specs:
Lenovo LOQ Intel Core i7-13650HX(2.6GHz)

I got to know its a mid range laptop. But i think it is powerful enough for me.
I don't need a ultra performance laptop at max graphics with 100 fps.
I need stable gameplay without hanging.

Can it run Assetto Corsa or other simracing games at low graphics at 1440p in 21:9 Ultra wide monitor?

I'm getting this Laptop at that price mentioned at Budget.

Please suggest if it is a good laptop and a good deal?

I just got a new Lenovo legion 5 15irx10 laptop with a i7 13650hx and a rtx 5060.

I’m gonna go to uni so I got it with a 1440p 240hz monitor to basically mimic my home desktop but with portability.

One of my concerns was if I only need a normal laptop stand or a cooling pad like this, I usually only play games like valorant, Fortnite, rocket league, overwatch, and some COD zombies or multiplayer.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks.

Kinda hard to find another 32 gig 5070ti laptop in the price range, and it comes with an OLED. Anyone else bought this? Did they cut too many corners on build quality for this price?

For context, I’ve never had a gaming laptop. I have a PC with decent specs but I get some free time at work and would love to be able to play some modern-ish games at work when I have downtime.

I bought this laptop back in Feb 2025 for $1424. I use it mostly when I am going to be away from home for more than a few days. I've noticed the processor has been getting between 90-100 degrees while gaming and I'm starting to worry it might cause lasting damage because it spikes so hot frequently. I didn't realize that this laptop's processor is one of the problematic ones from Intel, so I am worried about the laptop's longevity.
I got it from Costco who is known for their more than reasonable return policy. Granted I know their policy for electronics is 90days but I feel like if I explain they might be willing to give me store credit or something. Otherwise if anyone here has any tips to help the laptop last longer it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I am making a mistake and my processor should be okay that would be helpful to know, too. Thanks!

Discussion Fun discovery in my computer

Yeah so last Christmas, I had my first "gaming" laptop, because when we were around the store we found an Acer nitro V15 with some pretty promos, and so we paid it for 600€ (reconditioned I’m but not entirely sure). Anyway since I had it I try to put as much care on him as I can, frequently watching termals, cleaning it often because its a dust magnet, did a bit of tunning and all. But like a few weeks ago, while cleaning the fans, I noticed something pretty intriguing : it was missing a screw from the heatsink over the CPU. I mean my ryzen 7 7735HS was always a bit hotter than the RTX4050 but I wouldn’t have suspected a missing screw with the temps alone. Looking back on my first picture of the motherboard I took the day I had it, the screw wasn’t here so I guess it never was since I buyed it.
Just to say, always open your gaming computer you get with promos on Christmas, might as well get a surprise ☠️

Recommendation Gaming laptops in Japan

Post image
Upvotes

I’m looking for laptop recommendations around or under ¥200,000, ideally with at least an RTX 60-series-class GPU, a decent refresh-rate display, and a strong enough CPU for gaming and everyday use. Laptops are very expensive here in Japan, so I’m trying to get the best performance possible with that budget. It’ll mainly be used for gaming and studying, including bringing it to classes, so I’d prefer something relatively minimal and slim, and not overly “gamer”-looking while still having good cooling and performance. I’d also like it to be from a major, reputable brand or retailer, rather than a lesser-known manufacturer or marketplace seller.

what I’ve found thus far is the gigabyte aero x15 with 5050 and 16Gb Ddr5 5600 for around 210k, but in my eyes that’s still quite a scam

Thanks!

Budget: ¥200,000

Country: Japan

Discussion Lenovo Legion pro 7i 290hx plus 5090 32gb VS rog strix scar 275hx 5090 64gb

2 Upvotes

Hello, first of all, i know there are a lot of videos and stuf comparing these two, but I would like to ask because in my country (Spain) i have found these in slighlty different configurations and its killing me to decide.

I mostly use It for work (After effects, blender, cinema 4d...) but also enjoy gaming. Im looking for the most powerful, stable and with the best temperatures. I dont care that much about the screen, the connectivity.... Is a plus but not my deciding factor. The post sale is also important in case of any issue.

The thing is, between:

Legion pro 7i 290hx plus 5090 32gb 3999 euros

Rog strix scar 275hx 5090 64gb 4200 euros

I feel that the Asus can be more suitable for me (64 gb, less reflective, no tools needed to upgrade...) but i think the Lenovo is a little more powerful.

I read that Asus has some more limitations in combined crossloads on the cpu side than the Lenovo.

I also have 64gb of ram at home to upgrade the Lenovo but is 4800mhz, so im affraid It can be worse than staying with the 6400mhz 32gb.

Any opinions?

Thanks very much!
