Hey guys,

Check it out!

I know, I've been posting a lot about my new HP 15s laptop, lately. The thing is, it's got a lot of views on my youtube channel and also a lot of questions about it and laptops in general. Sometimes, it's a bit irritating because their question shows, they never actually watch the whole video.

I don't pretend to be an expert or anything, but I've owned a couple of laptops and desktop since the mid-90s. I can't even remember what's the brand of my first desktop. It comes with windows 3.1 and costs more than a year's bonus. lol

Anyway, one of them asked me to 'research' which laptop should he buy, the Tuf FX505DDT, or my current HP 15s laptop. He wants to be able to play PUBG on high 60FPS. Also, going to use it for school to learn to program.  

For a guy, going to school to learn, I assumed, computer engineering or coding, it's kinda weird, he's asking me to do research for him. Especially, when it's pretty obvious, which laptop is better for gaming or for school.

I can play games on my AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon X Vega 10 laptop but, most of the triple AAA games, I tried playing can only play on low-medium settings. I've checked some of the Asus Tuf gaming laptops, and most of them have a GTX graphics card.

One thing for sure, they cost more than my Hp laptop. Not, everyone is into gaming so, for them, a laptop with my kind of specs will suit them. Also, if you have a certain budget, this is below $1k. I post an article yesterday about the Microsoft Surface Go laptop. And, it's almost the same price as my HP laptop. Only mine has better specs.

Asus, actually have a couple of interesting gaming laptop. There's one with an extra screen above the keyboard. At first, I thought that's weird and probably useless. But, after looking at it again, it might add extra screen space.

The reason, I've changed my mind about dual or even triple monitor on a laptop is after I started using my portable monitor as my desktop second screen. Being able to watch youtube or having a separate window for separate tasks is pretty useful.

If you want a high-end laptop, you have to be ready to pay the dough. With this kind of price, you definitely need a reason to buy and a return on investment. I can definitely see professional musicians, photographers, or artists using this. 

For the rest of us mere mortals, we can only dream. :p

Hey guys,

For me personally, 8gb of ram is the minimum for today's Windows 10 laptop or PC. I have a gaming pc and I bought it with Intel i7, GTX 1060 with 16gb of ram. That was a couple of years back. And, I'm typing on the pc right now. What I like is how smooth everything still is. That's what you want.

I also have an Acer laptop with Intel Celeron N4200 with 4gb of ram. It stutters once in a while. I immediately, upgrade the ram to 8gb. I wanted more than 8 but, 16gb was way over my budget. I think it cost around $100+, then. Can't really remember. Now, it runs a bit better.

My HP 15s, AMD Ryzen 7, came with just 8gb of ram. As it was on offer, I thought it'll do for now. I can always upgrade later. Currently, it runs pretty smoothly. So, I've no complained. My only complaint is the Radeon X Vega 10 graphic card.

I was pretty disappointed when I tried playing Dirt 4 as I thought, the graphic card will be able to handle it. Silly me, I thought it would be on par with my gaming pc Gtx 1060. Turn out, it's only half as good. I had to go all the way down to ultra-low to be able to play the game.

One thing I learned when I upgraded my low-end Acer laptop is that after I upgrade my ram from 4 to 8gb. I can now play some games smoothly. With just 4gb, you can't really do much. I'm not a technical expert but, that's why I say 8gb is just great for minimal laptop or pc task.

The other day, my ex-colleague told me that his wife wanted to upgrade her Pc ram from 8 to 16gb. Her pc is running out of storage and things are starting to lag. She doesn't game and uses it for her work. Just another proof that 8gb of ram just doesn't cut it anymore.

If you can afford it, get the maximum specs that you can get so that it can last you for years to come. You don't want the hassle of having to upgrade once, everything starts to slow down. Especially, when you need your computer for work.

Talking about the hassle, it was really a hassle to take out the back cover of the HP 15s laptop. I actually had to use a prying tool to take it off. I don't remember ever having to use a prying tool to upgrade ram or a hard disk. Whoever designed the laptop must think it's a good joke. 

I actually thought of just ripping the bloody whole back of the laptop. That's when I decided to search on Google for any kind of tutorial instead.

After looking at a tutorial that almost looks like my HP laptop, I decided to pry it open. It took me a while to discover the easiest way is to start from below the touchpad. I was really afraid of scratching my laptop and chipping or breaking the cover. It's still just a few days old!

While cursing at HP, I finally, managed to slowly pry open the laptop without scratching or breaking anything. It was all worth it, as I discovered that there are two slots for the Ram. So, I can easily replace them whenever I want to. 

Now, my thought is to either just buy an 8gb ram or if it's really cheap, I can get 2 x 8gb ram to make it 16. I think I'll just buy an 8gb ram and add it to the 4gb ram to make it 12gb ram. Which isn't that bad. Another 4gb of ram would do wonders. Especially, if I want to game on the laptop.

I won't do it now though. The thought of having to pry again the laptop really scares me. If anyone at HP is reading this, fire the idiot that design the back cover and making me use a prying tool just to open that damn back cover of the laptop!

Dell cheap gaming laptop you can buy today

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Gaming Edition 7567 15.6-Inch Full HD Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 1 TB Hybrid HDD, 8GB DDR4 Memory, NVIDIA GTX 1050 4GB Graphics, Windows 10

Hey guys,

Check out my latest free-to-play Digital Combat Simulator World gameplay video!

Not much of action happening as I'm just trying out the game. I had some problem setting up the game at first. It's available on steam and, apparently, some gamers been having some sort of technical problem with it.

I've read that you must at least have more than 8gb of ram and to upgrade if possible. Lucky for me, when I bought my aftershock gaming pc last year, I decided to get at least 16gb of ram, would have bought more if I had the budget, to future-proof my gaming rig.

In any case, i've been admiring some of dell latest gaming laptop that have almost the same specs as my gaming pc. And, it's also way cheaper. If you had subscribe and watch my youtube channel, you'll see lots of sample games that I've tried playing on my pc.

Check out these dell laptops that have the same or almost same specs as my gaming pc:



Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming Laptop: Core i7-7700HQ, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD, GTX 1060 6GB, 15.6-inch Full HD Display

If you're on a budget, check out some of these lower price dell gaming laptop. Doesn't have the same i7 or rams but, you can always upgrade later on.

There are already news of an i9 gaming laptop coming out. That will definitely blow out the water of the latest i7 but, most games can already be played on these specs. If you're on a budget or in school, and don't need all the bells and whistles, these would suit just fine.

I've been asked a lot about my acer spin 1, which are pretty cheap and it's not even a gaming laptop. It only have an HD505. I put up videos playing street fighter and torchlight. It plays pretty smooth. Of course, the games aren't really graphic intensive and even then, I've put it on low settings.

My best bet, if you're on a budget or looking for a gaming laptop beside already having a gaming pc, then I'll recommend the dell 7000 series that have a pretty good specs relative to price. Although, I'll upgrade to 16gb of rams to top it up!
