I have this same laptop. Shoved a 1tb drive and another 16gb ram in it out of the gate. Plays everything i want it to just fine

I just got this laptop from BestBuy for the same sale price and it works great. I replaced the Memory with a Team Group Elite 3200mhz ddr4 2x16gb dual kit and the new results are phenomenal. Laptop ran Warhammer 40k Darktide at decent framerates and overall quality. Laptop gets a lil hot though like any other laptop.

got this model but with 16gb of RAM about 6 months ago for a killer deal of 499€ new! Great laptop, have been writing my masters thesis on it and playing on work trips and for the price its amazing. There is an option to set -30mV CPU undervolt in bios which helps a bit with the thermals, mine can go way lower than that with throttlestop BUT having the throttlestop (see edit below) or hwinfo or anything that reads the sensors kills the battery so that doesnt help too much with the 48wh battery thing. Lowers thermals a ton while gaming with charger connected tho so thats good! Just a simple cooling pad also does wonders and helps with the ergonomics. Also it is possible to turn off windows modern standby and use regular S3 sleep on this machine.

EDIT. Realized how stupid the throttlestop thing sounded. There actually is an option to stop data which fixes the battery drain issue completely while letting you keep the undervolt stuff. Increases battery life and also lowers temps under load, just set it to automatically start with windows and you are good to go!

Great video. I've been battling along with an older non gaming AUS laptop that surprisingly will run Fallout 4, Skyrim and Farm sim 22 in medium graphics modes. But today got myself an F15 and looks like it will be an amazing improvement on my current laptop.

I picked up a asus tuf 10300h 1650 ti for $300 at a pawn shop. With to bestbuy and grabbed 1tb m.2 and 2x 16gb 3200 ram sticks for $160. Probably the best laptop I've ever own.

Bought my son the f15 11800h 3060 version for 885 a few weeks ago on amazon. Regularly is 1200 to 1300 USD. Granted it was amazon warehouse but thing was brand new when I checked it out. Should serve him well in college

[deszaras]

$599, that's great, in my place they go for 700-800 Euros

The Ryzen processors that come with these laptops are fast as well.

The one I've got beats my water cooled 9900k at hammer compile, not a small feat despite the age of the 9th gen.

I purchased the 3050 16b GB 1tb ssd for £700 with bag and mouse from Argos in the UK a few months back . And it plays games amazing I can't believe how good it is.

Ordered today. Can't wait for it!

[soddit]

I just picked this up for 850 cad, looking forward to it arriving!

[Chemy.]

Not bad for the 600 USD price, with a few more buck upgrading RAM and storage it would be a great laptop.

[katieadams]

The Rog Strix G15 Advantage deal is also an insane deal, less than 1500 for a laptop with close to rtx 3080 mobile performance

[StaceyAyodele]

I have the F17 model. I love it to death. It's a wonderful gaming laptop, even though I just play PS2 games with PCSX2 and 1080p XD
LOVE it a ton! Runs Linux quite well.

I wish the plastic casing had more 'holes' for bottom ventilation. I do have concerns about over heating and a noisy fan.

[gaminggeneration]

I got this laptop but I have upgraded the ran to 32gb and I replaced the off brand paste with thermal grizzly aeronaut and the cpu temp on resident evil village went down from 86c to stable 78c

[jctocino]

Buying one already bro! Great review 🎉

[Official_RagingGamer]

He literally had the same laptop and the same live wallpaper like me

Please do more of these, mobile gaming is really going up now since both Nvidia and AMD sucks this generation on their desktop side
