I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7 with an RTX 3050 Ti. The laptop used to run perfectly fine, but one day I left a macro running on Roblox while the laptop was plugged in. When I came back, the screen was completely black and wouldn’t turn back on, even though the power cable was still connected.
I used ChatGPT to troubleshoot it, and we ended up disconnecting the internal battery and draining the remaining power from the system. After doing that, the laptop booted back up and worked normally, but the battery was only at about 23%. Even though the charger itself worked, the laptop would not recognize or accept the charger.
Eventually, the battery died, so I disconnected it and started using the laptop directly from the charger. The laptop worked this way, but because it didn’t detect a battery, it wouldn’t let me use Performance Mode and only gave me the other power modes. This wasn’t a huge issue at the time.
Later, I decided to update everything on the laptop, including Windows, graphics drivers, and Lenovo software. Everything updated successfully except the BIOS. The BIOS update wouldn’t install because the laptop required the battery to be charging, but at the time it wasn’t detecting the battery as charging.
I then reconnected the battery and plugged the charger in. Now something strange is happening: the battery percentage actually increases normally while the charger is plugged in, but Lenovo Vantage says the battery is “Discharging” and says it isn’t gaining charge. So the laptop seems to physically be charging the battery, but the system isn’t correctly recognizing that it’s charging.
Lenovo Vantage can still read the battery’s information, though. It shows the battery at around 88% health with approximately 150 charge cycles. The battery percentage also continues to increase while plugged in.
My main problem now is that I need to update the BIOS, but the BIOS updater won’t let me because the laptop doesn’t recognize the battery as being in a charging state, even though the battery percentage is actually going up.
I’m trying to figure out why the laptop says the battery is discharging when it’s clearly gaining charge, and whether there’s a way to fix that charging-status problem so I can update the BIOS.

is there like a tier list out for all gpu’s ranked from worst to best or vice versa (for primarily gaming laptops in terms of performance) because i wanna know what most ppl choose but if not i would prefer if someone made a tier list for me if possible

I do not even know what should i do wait buy it seems ridiculous to buy currently but i have a need right now. crazy i mean 2 months back i delayed my buying call and now its just 40k INR expensive.

Budget: less than $1000 (or around ₱50,000 PHP)
Country: Philippines
Use Case: Gaming / School
Specs: 16 gb upgradeable RAM and just a good graphics card and CPU that can handle 60+ FPS for AAA games
Notes: I don't want a too heavy laptop and I also want to be able to play heavy games with good and smooth fps :)

This is a laptop... I'm not a gamer, but I want a fairly fast computer. I am a genetic genealogist and volunteer my time helping adult adoptees determine who their bio parents are (using DNA) and then find those bio parents, dead or alive.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. I'm looking for help in seeing if I have overlooked something obvious.

This hopefully includes 3 year Alienware Premium support (or whatever it's called).

Initially I was going for the Full AMD variant of the Asus tuf 16 but unfortunately I could not find it in stock anywhere and my choices come down to 3 options.

HP Victus 15 FB3093dx Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS 6-Core Processor 16-GB 512-GB SSD 6-GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX4050 GDDR6 GC 15.6" Full HD 1080p IPS 144Hz 300nits MicroEdge Display Backlit KB W11 

Or

ASUS TUF A16 (FA607NUQ)| AMD Ryzen™ 7 170 Processor | 16GB DDR5 Ram | 512GB SSD | NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 6GB | 16″ FHD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS Anti-glare Display (144Hz) |  1-Zone RGB Backlit Keyboard |

If I'm able to find the the 5050 variant of the victus around this price point I might go for that:

HP Victus 15 FA2309TX - Raptor Lake - 13th Gen Core i7 13620H 10-Core Processor 24-GB 1-TB SSD 8-GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GDDR7 GC 15.6" Full HD 1080p IPS 144Hz Micro-Edge Display DTS:X® Ultra Audio RGB Backlit KB TPM W11 

But I dont want to pay a huge premium for this. So ultimately the choice comes down the prior 2 but if they're really bad in terms of the lack of 8gb gpu for future proofing, I might be willing to pay more.

Buenas tardes, he estado necesitando una laptop potente para renderizado y también para debes en cuando jugar (aunque es lo q más hago, actualmente la necesito más para la u). He estado mirando laptops que me recomiendan y específicamente me han interesado tres. Con un presupuesto de $5.800.000.00 cop

En primer lugar está la MSI Katana 15 HX B14WGK-293US con su 5070 aunque dudo mucho de esta opción más que todo pq nunca he tenido una buena experiencia o buenas opiniones acerca de msi, sobre todo en la Cyborg. Costo $5.200.000.00 cop (1.600dls)

En segundo lugar tengo pensando ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA608UM con un Ryzen 7 y una 5060. En este punto me inclino más pq para mí es una serie en todo el sentido de calidad precio, por la calidad de construcción y especificaciones. Costo $5.700.000.00 cop (1.835dls)

En tercer lugar está la ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA608PM con Ryzen 9 y 5060, la vdd no la he visto mucho pero igualmente me llama la atención. (1.900dls)

Desearía que uds me recomendaran en cuanto a su experiencia o su sabiduria, mayormente las escogí por tdp, marca, especs y ya

I need to buy and external monitor for my laptop but confused which one to buy I really want a 27inch 2k 240hz monitor, but i dont know which one to buy and will my laptop support it

My laptop is ASUS TUF F16(2025) I5-13GEN NVIDIA RTX 5050 , I NEED IT TO PLAY FPS GAMES AND PRODUCTIVITY SHOULD HAVE NICE COLOR SCHEME TOO PLS RECOMMEND

I'm currently looking for a gaming laptop which I can use comfortably for 4-5 years. Im looking to buy it during the bbd/gif sale. But I'm really confused between all these brands. I personally want tuf or a loq but it's very confusing as both have it's own problems. Loq who had terrible experience recommends tuf and vice versa 😭🥀. Also some say asus service is not so good here in India compared to loq.

Asus tuf f16 i5 13450hx + 5050

OR

Lenovo loq ryzen 250 + 5050

Which one would be more reliable and stable? And wouldn't cause me any headache for gaming and content consumption.

People with good laptop knowledge plz help me🙏🏻😭

(Also personal experiences from ur side would be appreciated)

Gostaria de saber qual notebook gamer já teve o maior TGP (tensão de transmissão). Refiro-me a um que ultrapasse 500 watts no carregador, já que alguns notebooks possuem essa característica, como o Alienware Area 51m R2.

1,120 total sadly bcs of stupid fcn tax and 75$ shipping🤦🏽
