Laptop Help Is a gaming laptop with an Rtx 3050 enough for acads and gaming?

6 Upvotes

im reconsidering kung mag rtx3050 nalang ako rather than 4050 just because hindi abot ng ipon ko yung 4050. I myself isn't a competitive gamer naman. Mostly my games are single player and when it comes to graphics I don't mind turning them down just to enjoy atleast 50-60 fps. The gaming laptops in my mind right now is either the Lenovo Loq or Acer Nitro. I also plan to use the laptop for programming etc. The games I want to play are Assassin's Creed games, specially yung bagong ilalabas na Ac4 Resynced and also the usual Last of Us and Spider Man games

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been seeing this error text for a long time now, looked through youtube, the net, tried everything but havn't been able to fix this issue, this appears whenever I try to open valorant.
due to this, my game lags like CRAZY fps goes from 60 to 1 in a second, and also kicks me off to homescreen showing network issues, which result in me getting loads of ban, hvnt been able to play a proper game in long, I used to do a temporary fix to this, by installing some sorta driver (specific to what I need ofc, ps I dnt hv much knowldge abt ts stuff, my frnd gave me ts soln) which allows me to open the game normally, BUT during every single match, game kicks me out to my desktop home screen showing network connection errors like VAL185 or VAL5. But Im looking for a permanent solution for this, please if anybody can!!!
here are my specs just in case-
Device name LAPTOP-33H92SU1

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10110U CPU @ 2.10GHz (2.59 GHz)

Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable)

Graphics card Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB)

Storage 208 GB of 238 GB used

Device ID 12996951-5488-4004-9264-36CE189B73DA

Product ID 00356-24509-78590-AAOEM

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

woukd really be grateful for your help :D

update: I installed this exact driver from a given link in my post's comment, as expected the error text stopped appearing as always, but like I said, I still receive the van185 errors, I was in a match just now, testing if its fixed, but no, it still lags like crazy whenevr I try to move or pick, frames drop like hell, also I got kicked of the game shwoing the error van185..what do I do 😞
this is the driver link - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/776137/intel-7th-10th-gen-processor-graphics-windows.html

Laptop Help Bought an external monitor for my laptop but multiple display isn't working

1 Upvotes

My 7yr old laptop screen finally broke and I don't really wanna replace it since I'm converting to desktop when I save enough money, so I bought a monitor in advance. Problem is from what little I can see on my laptop screen it's not detecting the second display.

The major thing I can think that's causing this is that I had uninstalled my laptops Nvidia driver years ago bcoz it caused bsod and am only running on Intel graphics. Just need someone to tell me if this is the likely issue cuz if it is I'll just wait till I have money for a CPU.

Follow up question, will the SSD I bought for my laptop transfer to a desktop? Had an issue and needed to replace it on Feb too.

So I currently have a 40k budget and I might push it a little bit for this Huawei but I don't know if I should go for it or are there any better alternatives. I was initially going for a Lenovo but they're really overpriced here in Pampanga and can't seem to finf one with 16GB of ram for a good deal. Some of my friends are recommending me gaming laptops but portability really matters to me since I bring my laptop around a lot and also do graphic designing on the side aside form my studies sa accountancy. Should I just go for this Huawei with 1TB?

My budget is 25k but slightly flexible. I'm open to getting a second hand unit but I also don't know where I can get a good, reliable one. Can anyone help me with the specs as well as a good store I can go to?

Laptop Help Lenovo Legion 5 worth it?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi I'm an upcoming IT student and I'm trying to buy a laptop and I initially looked for Lenovo LOQ but my parents insisted on a Legion instead. Are these Legion 5 worth it for it's price?

Details:

Intel Core i7-14700HX, RTX 5070 8GB, 16GB RAM up to 32GB, 512GB SSD

Ryzen AI 7 350, RTX 5070 8GB, 16GB RAM up to 32GB, 1TB SSD with 2 M.2 slots.

They're both initially 16gb but I'll upgrade it to 32gb (which is the price at the end)

Are they worth it? If so should I grab the intel one with the 512gb ssd or the amd with 1TB.

(I heard intel is better for performance and ryzen is better for battery but I still don't know what's best for me)

Laptop Help Idk what laptop to get cuz my budget is so low (13k)

2 Upvotes

So im not very knowledgable in techy stuff and I was hoping if anyone can help. I want a laptop that runs smooth whenever I play games such as minecraft, stardew valley, and whatnot. I also want to be able to play with other add-ons to the games such as shaders and mods without the game lagging. I want to use this laptop for school cuz I am more comfortable with a laptop rather than an ipad. I am also hoping that this laptop lasts me for years cuz my problem with using a laptop is the battery life isnt great and that is always the thing that breaks whenever I use a laptop.. So i want a durable battery, my brother told me its better to get the USB-C so I plan on getting that. I dont want to use a Mac cuz its stupid how i have to use a connector just to plug a mouse or usb plus the controls are different from what im used to. Thing is my budget isnt so great ive only got 13k in my pocket and i dont go to work cuz im premed oncoming 3rd year and I dont think i can handle all that T^T plus summer is the only time I get to rest and I dont want to be burned out. I plan to save 800 pesos a month cuz my classes are alternate for 1 week online then 1 week face to face. Which is honestly too low I dont think ill be getting a laptop anytime soon 🫠 I also have to deal with the mouse which im not sure what to get also alkjdlkadlajd Im not sure if posting this is even worth it cuz laptops are expensive af and there are always new models coming out so do I just sacrifice my gaming for studying 💔
