Hi folks, my job is making me moving between 2 countries, and I need a portable but powerful machine to perform everything I already do but with one tool. As for information I already own a desktop PC (R7 3700x/2070supe32Gb of RAM) and a laptop (Dell Inspiron 15 7590/i5 9400h/gtx1650/16Gb of RAM), but now I realise I don't want to move my desktop pc back and forth and I really fancy a decent gaming/workstation that makes use of external monitors in both places I live in France & Scotland. The goal is to game (AAA games but currently mostly Elden Ring) and work (mostly Adobe and 3D modelling).
Since it's so incredibly hard to compare and understand the current selling proposition I'm asking here so thanks in advance !
​

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: 2000€, France (could be £2000 in the UK aswell), could be a bit more depending on how much an improvment it could be.
• Are you open to refurbs/used? No
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? Performance > Build Quality > Battery Life > Form Factor
• How important is weight and thinness to you? Mildly important : I will bring it with me most of the time but I don't mind it being a tad heavy/thick, thinness is more for style as a big beefy "gamer" laptop is a bit grotesque imo
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15 to 17"
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. CAD, photo/video editing, gaming. Softwares : Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, Keyshot, Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Premiere, Audition)
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Mostly Elden Ring rn, I also like a AAA time to time (RDR2, God of War). I like playing at high settings to enjoy thoroughly what the game can give me but Ultra 4k 360Hz is clearly not a goal. 120 to 165Hz at 1440p seems to be the sweetspot as I enjoy a good sight seeing experience with fluid animations. Also, Since I'll be using external monitors, I think 1440p is still a good option for them right ? or should I go with 4k ?
  
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Not really, my overall need is good to very good build quality
  
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I checked a bit and it seems the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and M16 could be good option (with 3070ti/4070), aswell as Razer Blade laptops or MSI Stealth line. What do you think about it ? is the 3070ti / 4070 a good aim for my needs ? overkill/underwhelming ? What about AMD Radeon mobile GPUs for the software I use ? I know the mobile version of GPUs tend to not perform as their Desktop counterparts as obviously the power output and heat are not the same levels
  

I constantly free up space, but that only lasts for 20 seconds for some reason. For example I free up 1,5GB of space by deleting software and clearing the trash can, but that only lasts for about 20 seconds. After that it get's filled up again. That's kind of annoying because I want to install a Windows 11 cloning program since yesterday which would allow me to clone my operating system and all my data to a larger SSD hard drive (a Samsung 2TB SSD). Right now my main "(C:)" drive is running on a 240GB SSD, which is way too small for my current needs, that's why I want to stock up. Unfortunately as soon as I want to install or open any of the data transfer tools it is giving me an error message all the time because there is always too little storage space for it to install or run it's components.
I noticed the rapid increase in storage space only about 2 days ago. Also, my system crashes very often right now with the error message: Bad Pool Caller. Sadly I can't even uninstall programs anymore right now - as I have just noticed - because that would create temporary files which my SSD apparently doesn't have enough space for. Error Message (translated): Error 122: There isn't enough disk space available.
Does anyone have an idea why this could be or has any advice for me? Thanks in advance.

Hey,
Specs:

ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A Ryzen 7 7800X3D TeamGroup Delta 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 

I've had this current setup for a few months now and have had no problems. My PC updated Sunday night and I turned off. Came to turn it on last night and had no display on the monitor. I looked at my motherboard and noticed the DRAM light was yellow.
Steps I've done to try and figure out what's going on:

1. Re-seated RAM in all slots, tried with one stick also in all slots
2. Re-seated CPU (No pin damage or burn marks)
3. Checked all power connections
4. Removed dGPU and tried using iGPU
5. Cleared CMOS by removing battery and shorting pins
6. Flashing BIOS using flashback

At this point I'm at a bit of a loss and don't know what to do, anyone got any ideas?

Nemam neki budzet da iskesiram odmah, ali mi je okej da placam na rate. Ideja je da slobodno vreme, kojeg na poslu imam na pretek, iskoristim da ucim/vezbam itd. Non stop sam u autu, tako da su baterija i dobro osvetljenje bitni, a ako neko zna da li neki od ovih moze da se puni u autu preko kabla za telefon (auto ima usb-c uticnicu sa munjicom, valjda je to Thunderbolt), to bi bio ogroman plus. Bilo kakav savet je dobrodosao.

Hey guys, I am looking to build a new gaming PC mostly for 1080p gaming that will last me a couple years. This is the build I have selected so far, I am looking around the €800 budget range. Any tips or changes you would make? I am currently upgrading from a RX480 4gb, i5 6500, 8GB ram, NZXT S340, 500gb samsung 750 evo, 500w psu. Is it worth keeping anything from my old build like the case or psu are just go for a full new build? (Or maybe worth selling anything?)

I'm shopping for a second SSD to put into my newly puchased 5 Pro 16ARH7H. It has a Ryzen 7 6800H, 3070ti 150w.
It came with a 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD. Can I put in a 2TB in the other slot, or is 1TB the max to put in the second slot?
And do I need to be sure to put in a PCIe 4.0 SSD? Could I put in a PCIe 3.0 like the Evo 970 Plus 2TB (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MFZXR1B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1) ?
I'd appreciate any recommendations for a compatible second SSD to put in the empty M.2 slot.
Thanks so much for your help!

My pc is having weird issues with lag spikes, varying in frequency depending on what I'm doing. There's almost always one right after windows starts, sometimes when doing varying things with windows settings or file explorer, watching youtube videos, and of course while playing games, but not all games. Youtubes "stats for nerds" menu wont always show the spike even though I can clearly see it when it happens, and while gaming it is measured by msi afterburner. I have a latencymon report from just watching a youtube video, and am unsure exactly how to fix the issue CPU is amd ryzen 5950x, and gpu is a rtx 3090, so Im pretty sure lag spikes shouldn't occur if everything is running right

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 181.70
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 13.567643
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 89.10
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1.237007

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: msmpeng.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 67
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 53
Number of processes hit: 5

Hey guys, I have a PC I use for rendering and video editing live footage. I ended up frying my old motherboard and had to update my power supply, mother board, CPU, and Ram. Those are all new components in the list below. I’m having issues getting it to output even the bios to any screen. The pc powers up the fans all turn on, and it turns off if I hold the power button. I’ve tried it with my gpu and straight from the motherboard hdmi output. No signal sent on either. I realized after research that my new cpu has issues with this board out of the box,so I learned how to use the “Q-Flash plus” feature to update the bios. Without the cpu and ram installed I followed the steps of that process. Still no signal output. No POST screen. No bios. I’ve tried it with all the components I plan on using and tried it with just with the bare minimum of the ram and cpu. The hdmi cable I used works for other laptops and my Xbox so I know the cable is good. Also it should be known that for some reason this board has no status LEDs for any of the components(insane and annoying I know). Should I just return this motherboard and try a different one? Or is there some other work around I haven’t found yet? Was looking at a msi for replacement: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9t7p99/msi-meg-x570-unify-atx-am4-motherboard-meg-x570-unify

Sold off my old pc a while back and now I'm putting together a new one! Trying to go for a white color scheme in the build though I'm looking for feedback on where I might be able to drop the price a bit. I know the graphics card is a bit pricy for a 4070 considering this model doesn't really get that much more juice. But I'm partial towards it just for the looks. I'm thinking the PSU is probably overkill though and there might be room to get a cheaper one. Also, does anyone know if the Lian Li case in the list hides the PSU? Looking forward to the feedback!

Hi everyone,

Please visit our website laptopsdeals.net for laptop deals, reviews, and lists!

My list is updated this month with all of the latest and greatest gaming laptops featuring new Intel 13th Gen processors, AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors, NVIDIA's RTX 4000 graphics cards.
You may have already saw my list of general use laptops. This time, I have an updated version of my general list of good gaming options. If you are looking for a general use devices list, please click here to view my list from May 2023!
As a reminder, this list isn't a definitive list to determine what you should get. It should give you an overall idea of what you should be able to expect in a given price range. If you have any questions about anything listed here, let me know, I will assist you!
This category applies to anyone who is on a tight budget, all the way to the most expensive devices. It applies to anyone who want to play lighter games, as well as demanding games. Here are some bullet points to refer to when looking for a good gaming laptop:

1. Look for a good processor! For gaming, the processor is definitely an important factor. It is more important than in a general use device, since games will benefit from having higher clock speeds and more cores / threads. Most of the U processors are not ideal for gaming, since they often cannot sustain their boost clock speeds. But, they can still make do on a budget. Here is the order of processor strength of the devices I will be presenting: i5-4300M < Ryzen 5 5600H < i5-11400H < i7-1260P < Ryzen 5 6600H < Ryzen 7 7735HS < Ryzen 7 6800H < Ryzen 9 6900HS < Ryzen 9 6900HX < i5-12500H < i5-13500H < i7-12650H < i7-12700H < i7-12800H < Ryzen 9 7940HS < i7-13700H < i7-13650HX < i7-13700HX < i9-13900H < i9-13900HX < i9-13980HX
2. Look for a good graphics card! This is the most important aspect for gaming! This is the main factor that will be able to fuel gaming capability. Here is the order of weakest to strongest GPUs that are available on this list: Intel HD Graphics 4600 < RTX 3050 < RTX 3050 Ti < RTX 4050 < RTX 3060 < RTX 3070 < AMD RX 6800S < RTX 4060 < RTX 3070 Ti < RTX 4070 < RTX 4080 < RTX 4090
   1. Please keep in mind that for this generation of GPUs, wattage matters a lot, often more important than the GPU model. For example, a very high wattage RTX 4060 may outperform a lower wattage RTX 4070 or RTX 4080. I have included all of the wattages that are known for the RTX 4000 laptops on my list. Before purchasing, I would recommend watching reviews on YouTube.
3. Pay attention to thermals! This has become larger and larger of an issue in recent times. These newer CPUs can consume a lot of power, but some manufacturers have decided to skimp out on cooling, meaning that these processors will happily run at 100°C, which really isn't ideal for long term use. So, you should search up reviews on the device you intend on purchasing for an idea about how hot it runs. If you end up with a system that has a CPU that runs hot, take a look at my tutorial video on how to disable turbo boost. It will decrease temperatures by 20°C to 25°C in games without affecting gaming performance.

This month's list is conveniently organized in a table on laptopsdeals.net.

A lot of these laptops are not necessarily on sale, so keep your eyes peeled for the deals that are regularly posted on the subreddit! If you're looking for a specific laptop recommendation, considering making a request in the pinned weekly request thread.
If you are looking for a general device instead, take a look at my Best General Use Laptop list from May 2023!

Good evening,
This is my first time posting to this subreddit, so please excuse my lack of knowledge about some terminology or common troubleshooting measures.
I have been trying to use qemu/kvm with virt-manager to create VMs that I can passthrough my RX 480 to, while using my Ryzen 5 3400G's integrated GPU on my Ubuntu host OS.
I have successfully passed my RX 480 to a Windows 10 VM, but am unable to do so for an Ubuntu 23.04 VM. I highly doubt the issue is with my setting up of the vfio-pci driver for the GPU. As such, the issue is likely with the Ubuntu VM's xml file, which I have placed below as well as the Windows VM's xml file.
When I start the Ubuntu VM, it only displays video on the virt-manager graphical console, not through the HDMI output of my RX 480, which is what I expect.
I have tried re-creating the VM with the same options, and changed the bus value of my RX 480 in the Ubuntu VM's xml to match the one in the Windows VM, which gives the error of "XML error: Attempted double use of PCI Address 0000:04:00.0"
What options am I missing or failed to enable in the Ubuntu VM that is causing this lack of GPU passthrough?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I just ordered the msi rx7900xtx gaming trio classic. I’m wondering if it will fit in my case and will any of my components bottleneck the gpu. I’m mainly a console gamer (ps5, steam deck, XBX) but slowly getting into pc gaming since I got the steam deck. I really have no clue on what I’m doing so any advice, settings, etc would help.
My current build: Case: corsair 4000D airflow MB: MSI Mag B550 tomahawk max wifi Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800x3d Gpu: 6600xt Psu: Corsair Rm850x Ram: 32gb Corsair vengeance Storage: 2 tb 980 Samsung nvme and 2tb sata ssd Cooler: MSI mag coreliquid 240r V2 (top mounted) Dual monitor setup (vertically mounted): 1 is a 28in 4K and the other is a 34in 1440p ultra wide. The 4K is only 60hz and the ultra-wide is 144hz.
I sometimes connect my computer via 20 ft 2.1 hdmi to my Sony tv since it can do 4k120hz and has vrr.

Hi,
I just built a new computer trying to stay within budget (~$600) and in between building a computer with a good gaming performance but also some machine learning capabilities. After some research this is my list:

1. MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard
   
2. Kingston NV2 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe Internal SSD
   
3. ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC
   
4. Apevia ATX-ES600-RGB Essence 600W ATX
   
5. TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic 10L DDR4 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB)
   
6. AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 with AMD cooler.
   
7. Cooler Master MasterBox MB320L ARGB Micro-ATX
   

Everything powers-up as I can see all the fans working, RGB lights, etc. The MSI motherboard doesn't show any diagnostics lights, i.e., none of the LED for CPU/VGA/BOOT etc. are on. Everything seems fine but there is no video, nothing. I don't see the BIOS screen. Of course, first instinct is to do a BIOS update. However, personally, I don't like to update the BIOS if I don't have to. From the S/N on the motherboard I see the manufacture date is March 2023. According the MSI the compatible BIOS version for Ryzen 5500, 7C95v2A , is March 2022, so one year before.
From this I am assuming that the motherboard does have an update version that should support my current CPU also, as I mentioned, there is no LED diagnostic light for the CPU. According to the MSI compatibility site and maketecheasier.com, all the parts are compatible with the disclaimer that the BIOS version should be 7C95v2A which, in my case, is one year older than the manufacture date.
I tried different monitor cables, monitor, unplugged and replugged the video card, RAM memory, etc.
I am far from being a PC expert but I have put together a few computers over years, I thought I was gonna get the RGB cables wrong, but I was not expecting having no video at all. I don't have spare parts to test much. My nuclear option is to do the BIOS update via Flash BIOS button but I think it is an unnecessary risk given the manufacture/BIOS version dates.
​
I would appreciate any advise, specially if someone has the same set up.
​
Thanks!
