But then again Desktop is the way to go then Laptop. Not much of a surprise really - I knew this was going to happen again. We need AMD to start pushing out their mobile GPUs as well - some more powerful at that to really push Nvidia.

Consumer deception has been a practice of companies for decades and nobody will address the issue so it's best to do your research before buying any product.

This is why I primarily check multiple reviews before I make any kind of decision on buying a product especially nowadays since agendas are pretty high with Influencers.

skyfire Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yes indeed sometimes buying after 6 months of the release of the product is also good practice as you don't end up being a tester of product and buy only which has good reviews.

True. By then most of the bugs have been fixed and there are any long-term effects, we'll all be knowledgeable of it. Also, the price drops by quite a bit in that time.

Yes and another thing is that if you find out new models are often not getting the heat sync type of the issues which often take few months of usage to notice.

I was referring to the new models like ASUS TUF A15 and A17 which has heat sync issues and are not preferred, they would either refurbished or some people would go for F series which does not have issues. Waiting for review often saves you from such models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seriously, between the scalpers and crypto miners, I hope their motherboards fry and all their tech fails just for making every new product unavailable to us.

skyfire Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Z15 is based on intel i7 and i9 series. so yeah it has pretty good demand because those series of processors and also the make of zepherus is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, based on sales, it seems the Ryzen-based laptops are the top selling gaming laptops this year and it's no surprise really. The Rocket Lake cpus are really running hot this year.

Intel as a processor manufacturing company isn't all that competitive because AMD and Apple are the better CPUs for Windows and Mac computers.

skyfire Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Apple is restrictive so I wont even count them for normal public due to price and walled garden. AMD and INTEL for now have to keep playing 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of Mac users especially in the Youtube content creation space so it's a massive platform and with AMD taking over in the Windows PC market, Intel is starting to feel the pressure.
