What about this one? ASUS ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Core i9 11th Gen Link

R7 5800H is better than i9 11900H, except for gaming & few SC tasks. I mentioned i7 12700H earlier, 11th gen is expensive & offers little extra over Ryzen.

Hello, all knowledgeable forum members and experts; Just one quick query

Which one is the more powerful config :

(1) 5800H with 4GB RTX 3050

(2) 12500H with Irish Xe Graphics

(3) 1240P with Irish Xe Graphics

A dedicated GPU is always powerful than inbuilt GPU

Depends on usage, laptop chassis & other specs. Assuming same chassis running the CPU at 45W (usual case), first option is the best as dGPU is a big advantage + Ryzen is more efficient.

Nowadays most important consideration is whether you want 14" or 15.6" screen & after that start selecting because 15.6" models are in minority nowadays when it comes to variety.

Should be fine, has a free RAM slot, if I remember correctly.

What about 15.6" ones with "non-gaming" looks?

I mean, I will prefer a compact size for multimedia laptops.

I think both HP & Lenovo 15" entry-level laptops with R5 5500U have TN panels.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? For multimedia, bigger screen is usually the better option for most.

Yeah nowadays I won't suggest anyone to buy a laptop with TN panel though I thought many models from HP even ~40k price rane come with SVA panel(no IPS but still better than TN).

14" vs 15.6" is not a very big increase for screen estate IMO but for footprint it is. I will prefer a smaller more portable laptop over bigger ones for non-performance tasks. I like the size of my 13.3" office laptop.

I actually find 14" screen noticeably smaller than 15.6" but then I on an avg avoid all small screens(incl mobile) for long duration watching of multimedia content.

To each their own, but for those budget laptops, HP 14 has IPS panel + backlit KB over even HP's 15" model.

Yes & that's why I always ask ppl to first decide on screen size because for someone fine with 14" screen has many more options to choose from compared to 15.6" screen nowadays. I still remember acer 15.6" model with ryzen 2200u, 256gb ssd & ips screen selling for around 38k before corona lockdown.

Hello Experts & Knowledgeable members;

One quick que,

• A system Intel 8750H + 2 x 8GB DDR4-2666 / PC4 - 21300 can take 2 x 16GB DDR4-3200 / PC4 - 25600 module ?
• Is it going to be a complete rejection? or run at a lower speed?

As per the official spec above machine can go 32GB @ 2666 MHz.

If max supported ram is 32gb then it should run at DDR4-2666 while using DDR4-3200 modules but wait for others to also confirm.

Some laptop won't even POST if higher MT/s modules are used. Best way is to confirm with the OEM for supported RAM modules.

Assuming that you're swapping out the 2666Mhz memory for the 3200Mhz kit. Well, if this were a PC, then you could easily do away with higher frequencies. However, with proprietary motherboards from OEMs (like Dell, Lenovo, etc.) used in laptops, there are no promises that it will work fine. It should be down clocked to 2666Mhz, but you should expect some BSODs and system instability. Check with your laptop vendor before purchase. Crucial has a memory compatibility tool, consider checking that as well.

1. Yes, in 99.9% cases
2. Will run at 2666 as 8th gen laptops were all limited to 2666, no XMP in most laptops

Edit: For point 1, all Intel laptops supporting 2933MHz RAM actually use 3200MHZ RAM sticks as no one bothered to manufacture 2933 as 3200 was being by AMD & Intel was eventually going to use DDR4 3200, which it did in 12th gen. AFAIK, these days you can get DDR4 2400, 2666 & 3200 sticks for laptops.

Thank You all for the reply, My thought was exactly like DestGod SaiyanGoku's reply - That Laptop will not boot - A Complete rejection..... but this time whitestar_999 & omega44-xt both are right, Even the above post let me go further....Everything worked perfectly.
