Thanks so much! I saw this right in time for my little brothers birthday and he is gonna be so happy!!!
wow I was looking for the budget gaming laptop for my sister and you're right on time
I just bought the Ryzen 5 4600u version with 1650. Works great for me. Love the keyboard
Finally a tech reviewer who can actually game he's damn good.
I love your content helps me learn a lot
I love this laptop I got yesterday it runs amazingly hope you have a great day
I got the version from last year, with the Ryzen 4600H and 1650Ti, only bought the extra 8GB of RAM and it´s a beast.
i have this exact laptop (except for the proccesor its an i5-11300h) and i absolutely love it! its my first high-tier laptop.
Just snagged this for $520 at best buy, granted it was "Open Box -Certified" but brand new it was only $550. Super excited for it to get here. Definitely a nice upgrade over my 8 year old gaming PC I built. I never thought I'd be going to a gaming laptop after recommending against them to all my friends for years, but this time, portability is going to be a good QoL over my desktop and for $520 having a significant upgrade in specs is also going to be awesome.
Any heat problems?
Ey dude imma just ask, what is your old pc specifications?just curius
I've been rocking this for almost a year now, never regret it ever since. Upgraded the RAM with an extra 8 GB stick and slapped a terabyte of NVMe and it's better than stock
How do you like the display? I saw this at bestbuy and the display looks poor with low color accuracy and low brightness
I'm glad that you guys made this review, I've been debating on buying this laptop but haven't really found a good review that shows me it's performance. Definitely will be buying this!
Hp victus better
@@Trashplayaer that's also been on my watch list. I'm just tryna get whatever one is more affordable by the time I get the money
HP and Lenovo both almost come at same price point at least from where I am. But consider heating issues when using AAA game titles. Temperature on this laptop goes above 80 easily. And it's gets hot more than HP pavillion gaming But if you have AC room to use laptop when u game then i think it's no problem which one you choose.
@Yagami LW RAM, replace the hard drive with my last one so I can keep my stuff and whatever else I can upgrade to make it better
@Yagami LW I think 32GB is the max from what I saw, I'ma definitely go with that upgrade since I'm coming from a Acer Nitro 5 2018 model
the main issue with the fortnite review is actually the game runs significantly better after removing high resolution textures in the game downloaded files in the epic launcher. Another good tweak is also setting your frames to unlimited as well for better latency.
It's a very solid budget gaming laptop. If you can upgrade the RAM and get a external monitor, it literally smooth game play.
I don’t even really think a external monitor would be required
I think just 16G of ram is more than enough
I got Lenovo Ideapad Gaming version with GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, i5 11300H, got it like few days ago, everything works smooth and fine, no laggs, no overheat
Same except mine is ryzen 5 4600h
I have the version of this laptop with a 1650 inside of it and it runs great. I actually upgraded the SSD and got it to 16GB of DDR4. I love this laptop.
Current day gaming laptops perform incredibly well even in lower end configurations. I got a laptop with a 3050ti because I couldn't afford any of the other variants and I wanted to make use of DLSS to extend its usable life.
@@misanthropus9703 DLSS is awesome. but AMD's FSR is catching up too
what is your laptops name?
Do you know how to fix the ram usable like i have 8gb ram but it only says (5.86gb) usable.
@@ErenYeager-xm7iw you can't. your system RAM is shared with your integrated gpu. you might be able to lower the amount of RAM used by your integrated gpu but that's it.
This is a SUPER late reply, but by default the iGPU in the 5600H is allocated 2GB of system memory, which is why Halo was peaking at 5.6GB and having such a hard time. You can go into the BIOS and drop it down to 1GB (with a single 8GB stick) or even 512MB once you've got dual-channel installed. That will give you back a bunch of headroom and you'll see performance recover accordingly.
More budget laptop videos please!
I've had to instruct clients to order the SSD install kit (ribbon, sometimes a cage/holder) for 2.5" drives...the fact they now include the ribbon to do this is huge to me. This is a great and this laptop is such a great in its price class, if its in stock. Had the same problem with stock and price fluctuations with the $650 Gateway w/ RTX 2060 and i5-10300h budget laptop I checked out a long time ago.
How large of a SSD does the 2.5 SATA support up to? 1TB ok?
I do think 120 Hz will be the standard, I mean we got mid range phones running at 120 Hz as well.
Yes as my 250 pound phone has 120hz
My IPhone XR runs at 60 Hz. I don’t know about you but IPhones above 10 aren’t mid range.
@@AHT.Zone. no there not mid range but phones from Samsung show more for the price
@@markbarratt8938 i mean no iphone technically was sold as a midrange, they just completely rip you off with the pricing now ngl.
True
i honestly would have preferred full size sd to ethernet, because i bet a lot of people will use this for video editing too. plus, you don't use ethernet while moving anyway so having a dongle for it is way less annoying than an sd one, and quality ethernet dongles are generally cheap. either way great port selection but i don't really know why ethernet was chosen over sd.
Watching this video on mine that I updated with 16 gigs of ram. To anyone reading this please upgrade to dual channel, the performance gain is astronomical! The Halo Infinite example in particular you go from around 38 frames to an easy above 60 with higher settings.
Can you share the link or model or the RAM you put on? I'm planning to upgrade my RAM too
@@gabrielrobinson7769 Hey man I actually got my ram from a friend but my model is 15ACH6. Any DDR4 laptop ram at 3200HZ should wprk out. On amazon in the questions on ram alot of people ask about this laptop so you could find more help there. Hope this helps!
@@SageTech2 sure, that helps, have seen some options actually, just curious of which one you used exactly, so you add another 8gb right? How much is usable with the 16gb dual channel? I'm planning to add a 16gb one to have 24gb actually and see how much is usable
@@gabrielrobinson7769 Yeah I installed a second stick of 8gb. According to my system information of the 16 13.9 is available to use.
Would 8GB ram be okay for the sims 4 or minecraft with shaders?
I have to same laptop but with a ryzen 7 and rtx 3050 and has 16gb ram and the gaming performance is insane
I JUST got this laptop, and I swear it is the best piece of kit I have ever had. I can run everything I want on the very highest settings, without a single bit of stutter or frame drops. I upgraded to 16GB of RAM and installed my old 1TB HDD, but everything about this machine is amazing. Unless you just want the most screamingly fast machine available, I can't imagine finding a better value. I love everything about this machine. Easily the best gaming investment I have ever made.
Does gta v run in smooth
@@parvshah849 That is one of the only games I have not tried yet. But, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, all of the Kingdom Hearts games, Sims 4 with all of the expansion packs, and everything else I've thrown at it works perfectly on Ultra or High settings.
How's the battery life sir? For non-gaming purposes
@@jrbp8875 Not amazing. Even on dim settings with half sound and battery saver, you'll be lucky to get more than five hours on a single charge.
How was it upgrading the ram? I'm pretty new to this tech stuff so. Also how much was it and where did you get it from. Thanks
I upgraded my msi 1GPS. 11800k with 3050ti to 16 for about $65, since the same thing it was 8gb single channel. When I did upgraded seen a boost in some games in fps.
Should have got the MSI Katana GF66 i7 11800h with 3060 and 16gb ram 144hz
Great laptop, If anyone getting it for gaming, update storage right away to at least 500GB. GTX 1650 now is a king of budget level.
How do you update storage?
@@gerofitz3055 look for a YT video
Looks very nice, you guys can get it for a really good price compared to in the UK it seems! Will have to keep a look out on prices here and see if they drop to anything like this :)
The 3060 version was on sale for £540 recently in the UK. Its even better than this one.
@@RimzoSky where, I bought this laptop for 780 £
@@danditheyesman848 There was a deal on the lenovo education store.
I jsut got this laptop for £425 in the uk excellent refurbished
Hmm, seems promising, but how about the battery tho? Does it last around 4 hours?
Would you recommend this or the legion 5(the stats are pretty much identical but it has a 3050)?
I bought the 2021(?) version last month and damn is it dope. Pretty lucky that my country sells the "better" version of this skew with a Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3060 and 165hz good color acc panel for PHP 72K or around USD 1,400. Some notes about my skew version though is that it only has space for 2 M.2 drives but with better battery life and 8 GB on board. Spent another extra PHP 10k /USD 200 for an extra TB of SSD Storage and 16GB of RAM making the setup pretty good. I highly recommend this laptop for countries that have this skew like the Philippines since it's very good for the price especially for the display, connectivity, and keyboard this Laptop has!
Lods tanong lang nag iinit din ba ideapadgaming3 mo?
Yung akin kasi umiinit sya tapos yung GPU nya kahit 0% yung temp umaabot sa 42°c nakalagay sa task manager normal langbayun? First time ko kasi magka laptop kaya nagtatanong tanog ako😅
@@jonsheet0000 Normal lang yun bro. Mas mahirap kasi mag cool ng laptop kaya mas mataas usually ung temps. Kapag idle (0-10% CPU) usually around 30+ to 50+ C° talaga yan tas sa GPU normal lang na around 40 to 48 C° kahit no utilization kasi powered parin siya for quick use. Best practice lang talaga na ma internalize mo na mataas talaga ang temps kapag laptop unlike mga Tower PC na may malakas at malaki na fans + maraming airflow. Edit: Add lang tho, if on idle, like desktop lang tas no background apps, pero mainit yung keyboard, like unbearable na mainit, then try mo puntahan ang Lenovo service center, baka old thermal paste lang or blocked lang yung airflow sa fans (make sure to clean once a month or every other month!). Hope nakatulong ako bro! Sorry sa tagalog ko kasi taga mindanao ako xD
@@adrianbonpin Salamat ng sobra bro, ngayon alam kona HAHAH Nakaka kaba kasi minsan, Thank youu thank youuuuu
How the battery on average for normal stuff thats not gaming?
The fps drops in fn were concerning but when you first play a game on a laptop it's gonna take some matches to get the fps stable
My brother bought this laptop around late 2021, it runs game pretty well!
Yes it runs every game well
Yes it runs every game well
Yes it runs every game well
Nice Star Wars shirt, also did you get around to watch obi wan kenobi?
I just bought the version with the RTX 3050, itll get here on wednesday, I am pretty anxious about it lol
If I get this at work I may actually recommend it to some clients
I'm on a lunch break skimming thought this video. Excited, I might get this laptop. Do any of you peeps that own it have a good idea of how long the battery lasts with non-gaming?
Intels 2010-11 laptop panels had 110 refresh rate support but it wasn't an enabled option
Hi love your videos
No wayyy I just bought this laptop like a month ago I'm so glad y'all think it's amazing for it's price. I'd say it runs pretty good and no issues besides it getting pretty hot even with a cooling fan but I think that's just how they are 🤷🏽♂️
Been playing valoraint (my first PC game ever) and I've been loving it. I'm terrible but it feels really good on that game
Debating on this for my son so I can get him off my PC lol 😂
@@maus198663 Just depends on the games he wants to play, valoraint, CSGO, ect worked pretty well but I had a couple issues when playing cod warzone. If you do get him this PC make sure it has 16gb ram
I saw this video on youtube that disables cpu boost and I've been playing 20c cooler from 80+c down to 60+c in Elden Ring.
Its from a youtuber called TheDavePhan with a title like bring temps way down gor 5600H cpu. Try it it definitely worked for me
I am thinking of buying the lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with the rtx 3060 and ryzen 5 5600h with 16gb ram and a 165hz display Should i do it if u have any suggestions in the price range do tell
I have a question what is more worth it the Lenovo with 3050 ti and r5 or the 3050 with r7 i would appreciate it if you guys would answer thanks. oh wait i watched it again for more detail and you littrely said it that 3050 is better than with TI so thanks
ordered one a week ago, coming in a few hours today
Have fun 👍🏻
How was it?
I got this with the 3060 in it, very promising performance.
Where intro please
same lap with ryzen 7 was here. should I be concerned about heating because of the ryzen 7 processing power? can this lap handle that kind of a processor
Will this be good to console play with an elgato? My son is not going to play games on the laptop but on his PS5 with a monitor - he wanted to stream and record. Will this support that?
Pls do the review of Lenovo v14 G2 r3 with adm graphics
Just got this thing. Im getting 300-400 fps in cool math games. I love it.
You guys should check out the Msi Sword 15.6, the specs are a i7 11800h, rtx 3050ti, 8 gb ram, and 512gb ssd. The rtx 3050ti performs better then the other ones for some reason. (Fortnite benchmark 8gb ram, 300 fps in creative, 16gb ram dual channel 600 fps creative)
But is it 600 dollars?
not "budget" bro
@@skygen6757 well it’s meant to be a budget laptop
is it below $700? no. and not all from around the world can afford what a person from UK, US or america can easily.
i like how the didn't notice the temps on the CPU where going all the way up to 90 degrees. i was wondering why they weren't getting as good frame rates as i thought a 3050 ti and ryzen 5 5600H would be able to get
The RAM is the problem
@@SkullTrooper-kb7hm ram wouldn't help the 96C that I briefly saw
@@SkullTrooper-kb7hm the ram isn't actually the problem. Remember that this is a cheap gaming laptop so expect it to have poor build quality since this laptop is all plastic and thermals aren't that great.
@@calvinilkay1067 Most gaming laptops are designed to overclock themselves to the limit and only slow down at a specific temp limit (usually 90-98c). Look at how far its boosting, that laptop actually has pretty decent cooling which is how its sitting at or above 4ghz the whole time. For instance I have a over the top ROG laptop with a 3080 and a 5950h in it and it also sits around 90c+ if I have it in a performance mode. The whole laptop is liquid metaled and has crazy cooling so it boosts a ridiculous amount and runs faster than my desktop 5700x (fans don't even spin up if I don't let it boost and sits around 60c)
How is the other idea pad in the description compared to the actual one in the review?
Looking into playing some older games, nothing crazy in terms of graphics, I don’t care about super HD stuff and pretty much any fps like ps2 is good enough for me (last console I played) I think I’ll be buying this one unless there’s a better option?
hi toasty bros, im intrested on buying a gaming laptop. i just dont know which gaming laptop i need to buy. im intrested on the asus tuf dash f15 2022 with i5 12450h with rtx 3050ti. would you be able to review the laptop?

Hi! Which one would you recommend: IdeaPad Gaming 3 AMD Ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3060 6 GB GDDR6, 120 Hz or Legion 5 Ryzen 5 5500H RTX 3060 6 GB GDDR6, 165 hz? Both with 16 GB RAM (8+8)
Can you guys make a best OBS settings for us streamers!
Is the mouse in the way, if you want to put your hand on the laptop?
I had the version with the 10400f and the 1650. Whenever I loaded up any game I got the bus screen of death. Very unhappy about ut but the company I bought it from offered to trade it in for a 1650 super desktop with a worse CPU.
I bought this laptop like a month ago, and I can tell that the performance issues are related to drivers
Thats true my fps was capped because of the drivers i had to reinstall the nvidia drivers to get higher than 260 fps in minecraft
so you need to update all the drivers? or reinstall them manually
@@skygen6757 Just reinstall drivers via geforce experience and choose custom installation

What is best gaming laptop for life span. My desktop is on it's 11th year and still works great so I am hoping for a long lasting gaming laptop which I will use as a desktop
I own the 165hz late 2021 model. Got it for 800$ last month. Although i love everything about it 300 nits and 100% srgb the only thing that bothers me is there is no rgb keyboard and only plain one. I am not complaining there should be sacrifices made just for the display.
I keep my rgb off on my hp omen lol
Is the Ideapad Gaming 3 the same as this Ideapad 3 Gaming? I just bought the Ideapad Gaming 3 from Best Buy and the only difference is that it's a RTX 3050 no Ti
What do you use to benckmark your games?
what should i reconcider getting this laptop r7 16ram 3050 4gb or the omen 15 with 3070 6gb i7 and 16gb ram thanks i would eppreciate it cuz im looking for the first budget gaming laptop that could play MC valorant and fortnite thanks
Not sure about older models but newer ones have anti ghosting keys
US always gets the best laptop deals. This would’ve almost double in price if it’s in our country
have a 10500h and 1650 for my laptop and can play halo fine so i'm not sure what the issue is with this laptop glad I didn't pick it up over mine.
thats like 1100$ in our country lol, i wish shipping cost wasn't high so i can like buy it with no probs
i got myself a 16GBx2 RAM and Samsung 990pro but it ain't enough...star citizens maxed out 32GB ram and RTS processor. Its mind boggling how much resources star citizen is taking on my Ideapad Gaming with Ryzen 7 6800 and RTS 3050...overall its still able to run. Not bad for a laptop
I got the 3050 non ti version of this laptop, Lenovo failed to include the m.2 screw and nit required to mount it, so unless you have your own ssd screw, you won't be using that second m.2 slot. Plus the temperatures are almost constantly above 90°C on the CPU and GPU when playing games like GTA 5 and dying light 1.
How's the battery life of the laptop ? For non-gaming purposes?
@@jrbp8875if properly set up, (limiting the CPU boost, switching off the external gpu, reducing the general power draw of all components) I get around 4-5 hours of general browsing and video. Keep in mind that I have the shorter battery, you can get the bigger one, but you forfeit the extra HDD/ SSD upgrade potential (you can still use the 2nd m.2 slot though)
I went to best but and they put my 1 tb ssd in and I use both drivers. I just got the same version last week
eprfect timing i was looking for something for my younger brother and all i gotta do is upgrade the ram

Can someone explain the difference between the gaming version and the non gaming version?

Do you think Arma 3 would operate well??
My HP omen with a ryzen 5 4600h and a 1660ti can do 60 fps easily with no stutter on high settings in Halo infinite although I do have 16gb dual channel ram. Maybe the ram is the only thing holding that laptop back in running Halo. I mean my 4600h can run it so why not a 5600h.
