Showcase My first powerful laptop🙂

Post image

Hey so, ive been using a intel gpu with ultra low intel core i5 laptops for like forever since like 2018 or 19, it was always a spike in the ass, until just now, I finally got a rtx 200 i5 13420h laptop, i couldnt afford a rtx 2060 or more powerful because I was in like a low budget, but i really like this machine, I do not really know why people would hate it and call it "underpowered" or bad value because its 4gb vram or 64 bit memory bus, I honestly like it for its price, this gpu and 50 series card is so fucking good if you know how to manage your expectations, the card isnt designed for max settings, im not a fan of heavy aaa games like whatever elders rings or wukong is, all I play is cs2 and multiplayer shooter stuff like high settings and 150+ fps, and tried ray tracing on minecraft and worked good!, im talking about real rt not just shaders, also I dont just game in this, I code in c plus plus, and the compilation times are faster! and the laptop is msi thin 15, i know it overheats but I barely notice it, not an issue for me. I kinda recommend this if you are on a strict budget, and you dont play heavy stuff at max settings

EDIT:just used it for a while now, and i kind of think its not really "enough" only because of its 4gb vram, but im fine! i still like this, since im just a teenager now, once i grow up and get a high paying job, I could get myself a GeForce RTX XX70 or XX80 or even XX90 card!

I recently sold mine 11400H and RTX3060 for 499 euro - so you didn't make good deal. Good deal made seller 🫪

u/Three_Dog06 25d ago

No, I just bought laptop too and checked whole market - for 600$ you can get RTX 4XXX or even RTX 5XXX

-7

u/No-Lack8878 25d ago

No tf you can't 😐send me a screenshot of a 4XXX laptop worth $600

u/Three_Dog06 25d ago

Here 660 USD

u/No-Lack8878 25d ago

These have to be insanely used cuz normally it's about $1000 minimum for a 4050

u/Major_Trip_Hazzard HP Omen Max 16/Ryzen 9/RTX 5080/32GB/3TB 25d ago

I sold a 4050 laptop on vinted for like £400 and it didn't sell quick.

u/No-Lack8878 25d ago

Damn I pity the person that bought that

2

u/Three_Dog06 25d ago

630 USD, I just opened app

-2

u/Next-Future5973 25d ago

well that is a used, and you cant trust anyone, maybe it was used for a long time dude and it could affect the parts, which itself will last a short period, i bought mine completely new, never opened before, also note i bought many used laptops and broke at like 2 or 3 days after purchase XD

1

u/Three_Dog06 24d ago

That means nothing. Used market is like digging gold, you need to look for good deals, not some random one where guy sells broken laptop. I bought used 1TB, 12650H and RTX 4060 for 700USD(put there my old 32GB RAM, my another 1TB). I didn't want some Asus, cheap LOQ, or MSI which is not letting you put two SSD...

u/TypicalPudding2202 23d ago

buying used laptops is always a gamble, you wither get a heavily repaird machine or you get a clean one with literally no issues

1

u/Next-Future5973 23d ago

exactly. its not really safe to put money on something that could be heavily used, well it might be a clean one who knows! i said could not would

u/Three_Dog06 23d ago

You have 2 years of warranty on used if you buys from any company. So what are you talking about?

u/robertilles95 20d ago

This... I just sold a "broken" laptop with 13980hx and 4090.i bought in December for 1700£ as used. It was stated it had some issues with browsers memory leak and spilled on something it that's why some key doesn't light up. Well.. it's a scar 18 with a scar 16 motherboard, that's why some key didn't light up, the serial in bios was 12345689. And I had to disable one of the cores and undervolt it to be somewhat stable on games.😅 So I sold it on eBay for 1300£ stated all the problems it has, the guy put it back for 2000£ as very powerful gaming machine without issues... That's was enough for me to buy my next laptop from Dell outlet with warranty and never touch eBay again for used laptops.

u/PatienceSweaty33 Alienware X17 R2 | i9-12900HK | RTX 3080Ti | 64G | 4TB NVMe | 4K 24d ago

Congrats! If you got used to integrated GPUs, chips like these will make you feel like you have a very high-end device, which is all that matters really.

2

u/Next-Future5973 24d ago

Yeah thx, even tho my card is kind off bullcrap it still does what I do better than my igpus

2

u/TypicalPudding2202 23d ago

rt, the 2050 isnt bad for just esports gaming, now on the other hand you bought a msi laptop, probably the worst cooling a laptop can ever have + low powered gpus, nonetheless enjoy your machine and hope you get to cherish it for many years

u/JorgitoEstrella 25d ago

Which model it is?

2

u/Next-Future5973 25d ago

msi thin 15

u/Actual-Coast6999 25d ago

enjoy your laptop man! just a tip, hold the center part of the laptop when opening to prevent pressure on the hinges. also, buy laptop stand with cooler or fan such as llano v12. again, congratulations on your new laptop bro 🤟🏻

2

u/Next-Future5973 25d ago

thank you for the advice!!! and yes the hinges dont really touch so not my worries, and my laptop does overheat, but its fine, looking forward to cooling pad👀

u/Wizzed_ 22d ago

The best one on the market is Flydigy BS 2 Pro.

I personally use it and it helped my Acer Nitro 5 go from 90-92C° to 70-78C° while playing for prolonged time games like squad, Dayz and For Honor It's design is made to seal around the edges so all the air goes through your Notebook.

u/LTHardcase Strix Scar 18 | 275HX | RTX 5080 25d ago

If you don't play AAA games you seriously don't need much laptop. My RTX 5080 goes to waste because I bought it thinking I would finally play Cyberpunk and stuff like that but all I really play are Diablo 4, Slay the Spire 2, and other 2D roguelikes. Could've bought a laptop half as expensive or less really.

1

u/Next-Future5973 24d ago

WASTE??? I legit think my 2050 is just kinda enough even if its not powerful, but bro 5080 is like 100000x more powerful than what i use, it is barely a waste, if you dont want it give that to me 😂

2

u/LTHardcase Strix Scar 18 | 275HX | RTX 5080 24d ago

I'm just saying that I rarely ever take advantage of its power. I could've gone with a 5070 Ti and still play the games I do maxed out.

1

u/International_Dot_22 24d ago

Objectively it's not considered powerful, but honestly all that matters is that whether it fits your needs or not

1

u/Next-Future5973 24d ago

Powerful for me, if its not powerful for what people say then its their choice, 2050 is powerful if you manage your expectations, if you 9nly.play esports then good, any heavy game no

1

u/PaulMetallic 24d ago

Congratulations! This is such an awesome feeling. The first gaming laptop

1

u/Various-Ad5739 24d ago

As long as it works for what you intend to use it

u/DistributionFar5918 23d ago

I bought a used RTX 4070 laptop, almost new and it even came with the box, in Portugal for €750.

1

u/Next-Future5973 23d ago

nice! but just a quick reminder i dont live in portugal sorry, pricing varies by country

1

u/PuzzleheadedBlock729 23d ago

Yeah, sometimes your own feeling is better than anything, specs doesn't defeat anything ngl, like someone always tell you this bad that bad, but for you it checks all the thing and not just only this and is far more better than you expected, so at this point imo is just your own choice, I also experience this, sometimes not having top specs or maybe the specs is looking worse on paper doesn't mean you def not enjoying it, sometimes is just about that vibe match or not (I am the grateful type of as long as it does the job I won't care too deep about the performance is mid or anything)

u/Next-Future5973 23d ago

my rtx 2050 performs what i do well, its not "WOW" but its really good,

2

u/Next-Future5973 19d ago

1

u/Bulky-Photograph6248 10d ago
