MacBook Pro absolutely shreds SDX2EE

Wrong price in the comparison. The A16 can be purchased for $1700 at Best Buy. The M5 Pro is 9.7% faster at single core. That is not "absolutely shreds", particularly when you realize: This is the default M5 Pro for $2200. The Asus is $1700 in the U.S. from Best Buy. The A16 comes with 48GB of RAM T

Helldivers 2 optimization

Brother. I've been rawdogging my Helldivers on medium settings and oh boy what do you have to sacrifice to play it. I was dissatisfied with how they optimised the game itself. Upscaling + Lossless scaling only gives me 45-55fps depending on what biome you play. It can handle all difficulties, but Au

Move Over, M5: Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme Chip Crushes Apple in Our Benchmark Testing

Yeah that video did show how much software optimizations are everything, even if a chip is faster in raw compute, it'll lose in a lot of real-world scenarios. But at the same time, you can get the A16 for $1699 on Best Buy's website, so it's a pretty insane deal for $500 cheaper than the M5 Pro ($22

I need an AMD GPU

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition. Comes with a rzyen CPU and either a 7600s or 7700s. This is pretty much the last "modern" AMD laptop with AMD graphics. I have this model running bazzite and it works great. But it's almost impossible to find. I bought mine late October on eBay and the prices h

Bazzite 6 months review

Cool! It's not great on my asus tuf a16 laptop :/ I had a better experience on my old msi with a 1660.

Which of these gaming laptops is better?

Actually, that Lenovo is a total spec trap. While the 5050 has newer architecture, it’s paired with a Ryzen 5 220, which is a low-tier efficiency chip (only 2 performance cores) It’ll bottleneck the GPU The ASUS TUF A16 with the RX 7700S has roughly 20% better raw rasterization than the 5050 and it'
