hello mr whose the boss

Wish you didn’t skip from $70 to $500, I think the $300 range is a really important budget sector for laptops and its extremely competitive
Or the $200 range even though it may not look like much
The 700 dollars and 1000 dollar range is also a big leap, but than this video would be really long.
Yep. I have a $250 laptop that has a Ryzen 5 and a FHD IPS Display, and a $1200 Lenovo with a Ryzen 7 and RX6800M D-GPU. But to be fair, the video is just giving a rough idea of some average laptops you can get at those price points, not comparing laptops at those price points. I do kind of wish they'd been a little bit more comparable, or kept the middle two (both of which are more reasonable prices a normal person might spend) within brand, like using the comparable AMD Lenovo Legion instead of MSI's Intel/nVidia version.
Should have also had the $127, $234 and $378 dollar ranges. No, wait, $454 as well. Any more?
@@norfabatonas You're missing the point. None of these laptops are "exactly" some price. However, there are some pretty big jumps along the way that these models miss. In particular, many models adopt at least IPS displays earlier, and the jump to a even a low-end dGPU makes a huge difference as well. In other words, the jumps should really be more by the major features, not necessarily price.
The cheapest, 70$ laptop *STILL* somehow manages to be better than my laptop
Ikr, same for me 😢
Dam it hurts cuz I know what u mean
True
Well i streamed on my pc recently... Which is worse than that 70$ laptop, it was- somewhat smooth lol. 😅
the only reason i have a mid laptop is cause My mom got it for my schooling.

Just a quick note, the downward facing speakers are meant to be used with the laptop on a desk, they should sound much better that way, otherwise they loose some power and bass
I can attest to that,as I use my laptop on my bed which totally muffles the sound. I still think though OEMs should provide front facing speakers on the sides and remove the numpad entirely instead.
I use a glass table and the speakers are damn LOUD so yea ur right
@Mihir Shetye I wish I lost my side speakers and got a numpad, it is just so much more important. If I want good audio, I'll use headphones
@@minion0470 Yeah,but personally I have no use for the numpad,in contrast it takes away valuable real estate when typing and of course leaving no space for side firing speakers.
@Mihir Shetye makes sense, I just have an unnecessary level of frustration whenever I try to enter an alt code and can't. Aparently, Framework has done market research and found a near 50/50 split in people wanting/not wanting numpads.
Cheap $70 laptop more like school laptop

Not detailed enough compared to specialized laptop reviewers but still ok
@@cosek Yeah yeah. But he was primarily a phone reviewer and those ones are done beautifully. For a first laptop video, this is really well done.
jarrodtech has competitor now 😂
@@zyanchuah not even close😭😭🤣🤣
Kids are calling him laptop reviewer 🤡🤡
After watching this video, I bought the GT77HX. I have been using it for 2 months, and It really didn't disappoint me. Among all 4090 laptops I chose this because it itself is equipped with a 4K144Hz Mini-LED screen (I think it a pity if we don't go for 4K with 4090, but I don't want to go for an extra screen). Plus, it is safe. In my country, very few people can recognize this one. For most people this is just a heavy thick $1500- laptop. However, if I went for any Alienware it would be completely different. But I don't think anyone should sacrifice what they really wanted for the jealousy of others. That's not the reason why we buy a high-end laptop. Still, the per-key RGB keyboard is great, and you can customize it using SteelSeries GG. I set the keyboard RGB to respond to keypress by changing the key's color. It's really a nice experience! This laptop is well worth buying for anyone who would need it.
Rich gig of a man
bro how rich are you
Not to be that guy but I could say the same thing but it doesn’t mean I’m not lying so proof?
@@santydoesreviews767what type of proof do you want though?
@@Hawkenix more than that
Hi Arun! Your budget and other mobile reviews are really good. Can you do something like that for laptops? I find your reviews very useful - something like that for laptops would be amazing for students like us who also value the user experience more than just numbers/specs
Honestly, the $70 laptop is quite nice. I wouldn't mind it as a second mobile rig (especially with Linux installed on it).
whats linux
@@fraggerfn1212 it is an operating system like windows, macos or android it is free and open source meaning anyone can modify it and redistribute it and it's free most web servers use it, also android and chromeos use it behind the scenes, and it has a pretty large community though it does not run ms word or adobe photoshop or some games with drm the steam deck runs linux also also pretty nice overall but you need to choose the right distribution and desktop enviroment, because linux is not actually a single os but something other OSs use to work and they all look very different linux desktop is usually criticised for being a bit hard to use, not having 100% compatibility with some laptops, and other things it is fairly easy to install also
@@fraggerfn1212 its an operating system
Celerons perform decently on Linux and I just saw a recent video on Windows install and it took 75% of the storage after the update on 64GB. I can have most of my programs like Kdenlive, Audacity, GIMP, LibreOffice, Transmission, yt-dlp, ffmpeg, Gedit etc. All of these with the Linux install would be 20GB max.
@@aquaponieee Who asked so much things about this crappy os
The Msi Katana is like you actually using a great pc. Like with that kind of graphics to be playing on it’s sick. I’m considering buying this to upgrade from my own thank you for the great review!
Very friendly and informative video! I currently have Lenovo V15 G2 ($500). I'm upgrading to a $2000 laptop, (I don't know now which one, I'm thinking about an Asus ROG Strix 16) which should be better than a $1200 laptop in the video, so it actually made me happy, as I am now sure about the performance gap I will have.
@@Arealpersona Yeah and the worst thing is I'm using Linux, so I need to run almost every game with Wine, thus it doesn't even have the same performance as it should :D
I just bought a Lenovo Thinkpad e15 Its alright but it isnt for gaming i guess@@KILASONIA
two red flag: 1) using linux for games 2) buy a laptop at 2k get a rog ally and it will do the job better@@KILASONIA

Around the $1000 price point is where diminishing returns really kick in, imo. A new $1000 lt is generally amazing.
Almost the price of a desktop graphics card. =P. Almost, but not quite, card alone still more expensive now.
yeah if you're spending more than 1000 on a laptop you should probably be buying a desktop (even if you just get portable peripherals for the desktop) instead.

Really clever how you tested the gaming performance with a heavily modded game! It’s a lot more effort but very fun to watch because nothing quite brings a gaming pc to its knees than a lot of texture mods with a hefty enb
That wasn’t even heavily modded man that was only ENB and it looks like shit compared to QuantV or nve
Would be better if it was rdr2 with max settings with some crazy graphics mods
rdr2 isnt even hard to run tho@@TheACTIONZ
@@spqdz it is pretty hard, you'd need to have a 3060 ti level gpu to get over 60 frames. And I Said with graphics mods so it'll be even more intense
@@TheACTIONZ i have a 3060 and ultra preset is 70 fps
you should plug it in, gives better performance because while charging it doesnt use battery saver which kills the performance
I want you to test the Lenovo Thinkpad T530! This is the laptop I am typing on right now, and trust me. It's actually pretty good for a budget laptop.

.....and school laptops 0.03$
Yet they charge like 500 lol
It actually insane especially during the pandemic because my school had to buy like 300 dollars more for then just because they bought many, I suspect that was to actually get them prioritised buy HP, to get them in time for school but still. So the total price for each laptop was like 1200 - 1300 thousand dollars, disclaimer I live in Sweden and we did use programs like Fusion and inventor, blender and other stuff, so we needed the power, but still insane what the school system gives the Swedish high schools to spend, we have a CNC machine, 10 or more 3d printers and a laser cutter. And it is private owned don’t know how they make profit but boy they do, I looked up the company’s profits and they were very big.
@@Xamentle mine are made from a Chinese company and they go max 2fps and super cheaply made and cost like maybe around like 20 bucks each it think

Wow, another video so soon? It feels surreal! Remarkably, the production quality remains consistently high. Keep up the fantastic work.
nah the meatriding crazy
“This is an ips panel” not Mille doing a photoshoot and modelling with the laptop 😂
the $70 is still better quality then my $1000 laptop 💀💀
Wow, this video really shows the stark contrast between the cheapest and most expensive laptops in the world. While the expensive laptop definitely has some impressive features, I'm blown away by how well the cheaper option performed in some tests. It's great to see that technology is becoming more accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Thanks for another informative and engaging video
Damn yeah even the $70 is enough for a normal person with normal tasks so it's accessible to almost anyone..That's a great perspective that you saw!
Even so, that RTX 4090 is gonna have to run at a fraction of it's full potential if the CPU isn't idle for thermal reasons.
The biggest thing is there really isn't a huge difference between a $2500 and a $7000 laptop. Even 5 years ago, there was a pretty significant performance jump between a premium, a "super premium", and an "ultra premium" laptop. Now the biggest thing you tend to pay extra for is performance in a smaller form factor and even that's better than in the past. Before the last few years you never even really had the option to choose performance in a smaller form factor, if you wanted a smaller form factor you usually got mid-range performance at best.
came here to say this@@jnousiaine
@@jnousiaine it actually is lol
14:17 for those who don't know, it's the 13th gen intel core i9, the most powerful processor intel offers at this time
Nope, at that time the i9-13900k was out and it is a bit better than the i9-13980hx
If the performance tests were done at the same time then they're swayed. If one machine is equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and the other isn't and you have a Wi-Fi 6 router and the Wi-Fi 6 equipped machine will be prioritized over the other one which will actually take bandwidth support from the other machine and "focus" more on the wifi6 one.
Omg. So random that you tested the katana gf 76. I love this device for its fast download speed. But you have to open it after 1 Year to clean the vans up because it can get very loud.
Man, I have never been this excited on a KZhead video. Your creativity is on a whole other level rn! Everything was perfect 👏
That MSI Katana look like a $500 laptop. I used to have a gaming laptop like this one (price = around $1000) and I hated the weight and look. I then went for the MSI GS65 ($1999) and it was a beautiful thin gaming laptop, but I never gamed on it so I went over to the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 1st gen last year ($1200) and that laptop look like the most premium laptop I've ever owned, it's not as fast when gaming, but the Evo chip makes it feel like the fastest laptop I have ever owned on normal usage like turning on the laptop, internet, youtube etc...
MSI KATANA i got for 900 uk pounds new still got it probably no the best quality materials but inside with i7 12th gen and rtx 3060 its still meeting all my expectations

You should've gone for Acer laptops, for 1000$ eq you could get a good Nitro 5, and for 4000$+ you could get a good Predator Helios. I don't know much about warranty and after sales service, but I'm pretty certain that extending the storage capacities does not void the warranty.
5:51 all fall put fans got a flashback to the expo for fallout 76
