Got my first gaming laptop

That robot monitor thing is so cool. Nice purchase. I suggest using your laptop plugged in to preserve the battery life. Lenovo has a ‘Conservation Mode’ that might be similar to what your brand offers, which helps extend battery lifespan by limiting the charge to 75-80%.

Does the Predator series have this mode?

Yes, I found it in the Predator Sense settings.

Great deal! How much did it cost you including taxes?

With the 3-year care package from Currys, it totaled £1469.

  1. Clean your camera lens. 2. Play some demanding games that utilize that RTX 4070.

Any game recommendations? I’m planning on playing Marvel Rivals and might have a free copy of Assassin’s Creed Shadows too.

Check out the free games on Epic Games, they give away a new game every week. As for other options, it depends on what kind of games you like.

I’ve never pirated games before. Is it easy?

@Jamie
It’s relatively straightforward if you know where to look. Check out the piracy subreddit for tips and use recommended safety measures like uBlock Origin.

Thanks for the advice.

@Jamie
Try Stalker 2, it’s a highly demanding game. Also, consider Silent Hill 2 and the new Indiana Jones game for a good mix.

In the UK, the VAT is included in the price. The laptop was £1200, and an additional warranty was £269, so about £245 in taxes.

Bought a new gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 just to play older games, lol, but I do the same.

Why are the icons blurry?

I went overboard and got a 4080 to play Counter-Strike Source!

Setting your battery to charge only up to 80% is a good practice. I have different power settings for various uses like outdoor or gaming to maximize battery life.

Does disabling the system boot animation and sound speed up startup times? I just noticed that feature.

I got the same laptop from an Acer giveaway. It handles games like Hogwarts Legacy with max ray tracing just fine.
