I spent weeks looking for a decent gaming laptop

Laptop Recommendation

I spent weeks killing myself trying to find a good dev/gaming laptop with a maximum of a 4080 GPU, but my wife, tired of my frustration, surprised me with one (128GB RAM version).

I LOVE MY WIFE.

Nah. It will do 11fps at best

I know this is a joke but it worries me considering I just bought a gaming laptop specifically because I love the game

Don’t worry, there are many guides to tweak the settings for a nice experience :slight_smile:

I’m interested to see how hot a 4090 laptop gets

Maybe it’s kind of like OLED where 120 Hz gives 15 times faster response than IPS panel

i’m just guessing because I don’t think they would pair up a shitty screen with 4090

You’re right, they really didn’t. It’s the same beautiful screen that’s in the Titan 18 hx. Jarrod covered it in his video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1VeFfm-tTg&t=1168s

It’s definitely not for everyone, if you’re really into your online shooters the 120 Hz is probably a deal breaker. Though if you’re like me and want to just play Space Marine 2 and similar games on a beautiful 4k mini LED screen at 100+ FPS, then it’s perfect.

It’s MSI. You would be surprised

At that price, the company doesn’t really matter. It’s just the reliability and cheaper.
