Why are People Buying This $339 Gaming Laptop?!
Рет қаралды 121,600
Күн бұрынThe last time we tested a laptop like this it crashed constantly…. We are hoping we got a lemon before because a lot of people are buying this laptop! This is an eBay special that is a refurb/used special, featuring a Nvidia Quadro graphics card. Is it any good for gaming?

While maybe not the best for gaming, this will outperform most $350 laptops in performance and build quality. Really not a bad choice if you need a solid laptop for every day stuff and light gaming

TBH at that point you are better off just getting a Steam Deck installing windows on it, and using that with a BT keyboard + portable monitor/Dock. I literally stopepd taking my laptop to work meetings abroad and bring my steam deck with a bt kb/mouse and use that for replying to e-mails etc.

On the side that's not a "compact flash" but an express card slot. It's for add-in cards like additional USB ports (like I got my older Thinkpad USB 3.0 with that), WiFi cards, card readers and more. I really miss those on modern laptops. You asked: Yeah, I prefer the trackpoint over the touchpad. Feels a bit strange in the beginning but you get used to it pretty quickly. Lenovo is the last brand with trackpoints on their Thinkpad series though. Dell and Fujitsu dropped them. This and the good keyboard really make Thinkpads THE option for me. Plus it's good to know you can spill water over it without damaging it. Yeah - you might get more raw performance for less money but even then I just play games that run on it. Starcraft II, Final Fantasy XIII (and all the ones before), NFS Most Wanted (2013) - yeah, not a competitive gamer myself.

I find the thermals on the CPU quite concerning. I'd really check if proper contact is made between the CPU die and the heatpipe, maybe there's an issue with the thermal paste, like it probably dried or something. In your tests, the CPU was nowhere near from being used at 100%, yet it was 30 to 40°C hotter than the GPU which WAS pegged at 100% for most of the time. I run similar hardware on my 2016 Lenovo laptop (17 inch Ideapad Y700, i7-6700HQ and GTX960M), and the CPU has NEVER been thermal-throttled before the GPU. I don't think I ever managed to make it thermal-throttle, even. I partially blocked the exhaust and yet I struggled to get it over 80°C and no signs of throttling when I played Genshin a few years back with both CPU and GPU usage being evenly matched.

Honestly, the price doesn't seem too bad for a refurbished mobile workstation and considering the specs. I was looking into buying something similar a while ago for working with Blender and Unity, unfortunately local refurbishers in my country tend to list similar laptops at almost 1000 EUR. In the end I ended up buying a new gaming laptop for not much more.
