for laptop performance works great but not the best battery usage [Dec '18 BurntTech]

MORE DETAILS

It's good for a budget laptop around $900~1200. i5 is very suitable for most games. But will not able to handle modern 3D games more than 120fps with GPU that comes with laptop such as GTX 1650/Ti/MaxQ. I would recommend getting i7-9750H, as it has 2 more cores for multitasking and has better CPU options such as GTX1660ti and GTX1070 [Apr '21 Gamejang]

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Best User Rated

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
