Avoid This Gaming Laptop CPU

AMD has a "new" CPU for budget gaming laptops, the Ryzen 7 7435HS, but it doesn’t have integrated graphics. I’ve tested how this lack of iGPU affects battery life, CPU performance and gaming performance to find out if it’s worth buying.

Title "avoid this cpu"
Entire review "everything is fine with it and it can keep up with higher tiers of cpu. Just that battery life is bad"

Who the hell even comes up with these stupid titles ?

[sativagirl]

a couple of 100ft extension cords can address the battery performance issue *UNLESS* you absolutely must game naked deep in the forest.

[swasho]

one thing i didnt expect to see: Jarrod NOT recommending a Lenovo laptop 🤣

[TEDdeMedici]

"Turns out teaching sand how to think is a trickey process". Best tech quote I've heard. Well done!

[galahad]

You are getting 4050/4060 at the price of 3050 by sacrificing 30 minute battery life. 😂 Why should we complain?

[Joker-nofz]

time to buy a new heavy metal shirt Jarrod

[anandakrishnan]

My heart skipped a beat with that title. Thought it's going to be my laptop CPU😂😂😂

[nomercy]

I honestly never use my laptop when not plugged in. And my battery life sucks anyway because the monitor can't change from 165 Hz xD

[skepthicc]

Most of the motherboard issues are actually found with those with Intel processors, you're safe to go with the Amd Ryzen processors.

I ordered this laptop with same specs but with more ssd. The reason I don’t care is because I wont be existing where there are no power outlets. Yes it is nice to have more battery life, but those laptops that given considerable battery life (and have higher screen resolutions) cost several hundred dollars more. I want to use it at several places, but I have power outlets and external monitors there.

So I have to critique your title as too click baity.

I just bought this laptop two days ago I swear to god, be fine

[VerneRock]

The only criticism seems to be battery life which at 2:10 is shown to be approx 3.5 hours. it is then not contrasted with an IGP LOQ 7735 4060 model but with LOQ's running different CPU/GPU's that get 20% longer battery life. Do they have the same battery mah? How does battery compare when actually gaming? Not sure the title conclusion chimes with the otherwise great review. My summary would be "Bargain budget gaming laptop (20% less battery when non-gaming)". I've seen people claming 6+ hours by turning everything down on similar non IGP setups? Interested to see a re-review focusing solely on battery life of the 7435 chips with "tips and tweaks for battery eeks" as it's low price makes it highly relevant in the budget gaming arena. It would also be handy if the charts showed the release price for each laptop to check we're not comparing apples with oranges.

I have a laptop i9 from a few years ago, the integrated graphics failed and was creating crazy glitches, lucky I figured out the problem and use the laptop permanently on discrete graphics without any problems.

"Teaching sand how to think" is my personal quote of the year. Love it

[LaptopDealsEU]

Glad you mentioned it, because I was sick of explaining it to other people shouting: “Look at the price!”.
I already informed my audience a few days ago that I would not post any offer of a laptop with Ryzen 5 7235HS + Ryzen 7 7435HS processors.

M using this laptop, and so far i dont miss the igpu. with some gpu undervolting, and power saving mode, i can do intensive work for 2 hours, and less intensive work for 3.5 hours... If you play games, this is beast and temprature is also very very low due to lack of igpu cpu runs cooler. backup is still more than my previous nitro 5 with 5600h. display is amazing and gsync & 100%srgb really makes a difference. i dont notice any ghosting or motion blur while playing games.. You can just buy a 65w or 100w charger and charge it anywhere via type c if concerned about battery life.

[hermiandroid]

While the intel 13+14 Gens problems even reached the mobile cpus, I would recommend better avoiding them as well 😂😅

[new]

Holy cheese. I just dodged this one by buying 2023 model with 7840hs + 4060 which is at the same price ($900).

[bikdav]

I’m more concerned with performance than battery life.

Don't know much about computers, but after watching your videos extensively I just bought a Lenovo Loq 15 with Ryzen 7 PRO 7840HS CPU and RTX 4060, hope its a good computer and I can play ETS2 and ATS on ultra graphics :) keep up the good work man & congrats on 700k!
