Quote from: 8GB VRAM for 2200 on September 25, 2025, 10:48:20Which brings us to the core issue: only 8 GB VRAM vs the 2200 bucks price

Which makes the entire laptop market effectively dead for most people.

This is why people want arm so badly to succeed. There is effectively zero competition in x86 land.

On one hand we have this issue. On the other hand amd has effectively said, to not expect a significant leap in performance per watt @ 15w for igpus until 2027. So we're on steam deck performance for 5 years.

Combined with the fact that we've handheld OEMs such as Lenovo complaining that AMD isn't supplying enough chips for z2 extreme let alone for their strix halo which is barely available in any real supply. Not hopeful at all with Nvidia refresh either especially with current tarrifs. Pricing will likely be obscene.

Hey, grappig dat je dit deelt! Laatst was ik zelf ook bezig met wat ontspanning zoeken en stuitte toevallig op play jonny casino. Ze hebben speciale bonussen voor spelers uit België, wat het meteen interessant maakte om het eens te proberen. Ik begon rustig met een paar casinospellen, verloor eerst wat kleine inzetten, maar nam daarna iets meer risico en had ineens een mooie winst. Het voelde echt spannend en gaf me een leuke afleiding van de dagelijkse drukte, en sindsdien speel ik daar regelmatig wanneer ik even wil relaxen en plezier wil hebben in België.

Who is gonna buy this, if the FA608WV has a much better CPU and only slightly worse GPU?

Quoteold Zen 4 processor

To be fair, Zen 4 is still fine bc Zen 5 didn't bring much to gaming as most modern games are mainly GPU-bound: Which brings us to the core issue: The 5070 Laptop (= 5060 desktop GPU chip) and (hence) its only 8 GB VRAM vs the 2200 bucks price.

Quotealthough there may be limitations due to the lower 8 GB VRAM. 

Good to see it mentioned. Wait for next year's Refresh models, which gonna finally use 3GB GDDR7 chips, instead of the current 2GB ones (=+50% VRAM increase), which is already the case for all 5090 24GB VRAM Laptop GPUs, because the GPU chip used in there is the same one that is used in 5080 desktop GPUs, which, as we all know, only have 16 GB of VRAM due to using 2GB GDDR7 chips (256bit bus width chip/32bit per chip=8 2GB GDDR7 chips attached to the GPU chip).

The IPS display looks fine on the first glance.

Quotemax. 64 GB

This amount of maximum RAM capacity is not enough for certain open-weight LLMs and is future-proof anyway. Should be at least max. 96 GB RAM, better 128 GB RAM.
