Manufacturers will do anything to save a buck or two.

I'm pretty sure it's not single-channel vs dual-channel. It's the doubling of the memory. When he was playing without the upgrade the RAM usage was consistently near 8GB, the maximum. This causes large amounts of disk swapping which bottlenecks the CPU.

@@jameswang7362 it is dual channel vs single channel cuz dual channel doubles your data rate -.- It's not always about the amount but about the speed of information exchange between cpu and memory, which gets crippled down nearly twice with single channel ram. Of course, exceeding RAM capacity is an problem too.

DDR5 fixes this issue with laptops

My older Dell 7567 was a stuttering below 5fps in origins, after dual channel performance was increased by 20%, now the stuttering was completely gone.

No mention of what power profile was set in Armoury Crate. I think it defaults to Performance which won't let the GPU reach its maximum potential, gotta go to Turbo mode for that. That makes the laptop even louder though in terms of fan noise. On my 3060 machine I find the Performance setting to be just enough to get me by, and it's better than having the fans running at "jet turbine on takeoff" speed.

@@OnTheRocks71 i dont get the fan noise thing on portable pc just get a good headphones

@@ronank2432 no

@@ronank2432 Do you mean that you literally don't hear it with headphones, or do you mean that you don't understand how it's an issue for some people?

@Ronan K agreed never cared if my fans are loud even on my tower. Lmao

Did you get it from that amazon discount atm? How is it doing so far? The build quality? Performance? Any problems you occured?

@Anthony Noelson yes, got it for the Amazon price. It's a great laptop at that price point. The biggest pros are the specs (5800u 3050ti) it jams into a weight you can hold in 1 hand. It has half the power as my main PC and can play mostly all games at medium to high settings. With the 60hz display, anything over 60 is overkill on the main display so most games come out smooth as butter. The performance of the Acer Swift X is actually insane for the size and price you get. 14 inch ultrabook gaming. Another huge plus is the amazing IPS screen it ships with. Has amazing color accuracy because the laptop is marketed towards creative professionals. My biggest gripe would be the speakers and keyboard. Speakers were cheaped out and are bottom facing, making them muffled on a bed or table top. Keyboard has really strange placement for the power button, sleep button, and pgup pgdown buttons where you'll end up accidently pressing one all the time. No big deal to me I can get used to it. Another gripe would be the color scheme. Silver and Gold gets dirty easily. Bottom line it's an awesome laptop if you need a thin and light laptop that has power to do productivity or gaming. It works perfectly as a college laptop.

@@zhon5311 okay cool. Thanks for your review! Very helpful

​@@kael2965upgradable cpu was there back in the 3rd gen days. From 4th & 5th gen it all went bga because everyone wanted to slim the laptops down. And a socket adds few millimetres of height.

it the bios is like the older one I have it's kind of useless to even go in there since there are no usefull setting inside :\

There are no XMP settings in the BIOS on these laptops. They were built to run at JEDEC standards, and 10th Gen was 2666 MHz at the time.

@@jahyeet1137 yes, why?

are you a CS major by any chance? which laptop did you buy for uni?

​@Windows Media Player honestly, you don't need an extremely powerful laptop as a CS major. Most programs that you would write for a class can be done on a potato and there are usually computer labs when more powerful computers are required. I'm graduating in 2024 and I've been able to do all of my programs assignments on my crappy duel core laptop from 10 years ago. I recently bought a lenovo ideapad gaming 3 used for $600 because I'm studying abroud next semester and can't bring my desktop. Obviously, having a better laptop makes things more efficient and quick but it's not necessary to get a gaming laptop for CS. Now, for stuff like game development, you will need a more powerful system, if you're uni doesn't have a lab for it, but that's a compleatly different subject

@@loganricherson3749 i see! i’ll be moving to canada this fall to study computer science as an international student. guess i’ll bring my potato dual core there and see if i can get by using it. otherwise i’ll maybe wait for some good warehouse deal on some samsung 2-in-1 laptop with an i7 and 16 GB RAM, they seem quite appealing to me and can be bought for around 950 CAD

Yeah. I don't know why they use that cheap Aliexpress thermal paste stuff. Does it actually cost that much more to use decent stuff? That's so hostile towards the consumer, and they save what? Half a cent, cent? Remove a couple of hexagons from the box and they are even.

@@barryj0413 Well it was this or one with a Ryzen paired with a 1660. A quick check online showed the Ryzen on offer actually bottlenecked the 1660. So I went with the one with the i7 and 1650. Mine also has a 120hz screen while the Ryzen one was 60hz.

ive got the rtx2050 version and i put the 8gb extra in it for dual channel. runs really well. i cant fault it.

Hey bro

Literally what I got. Price and all lol

I can agree because I myself have the exact same model shown. You can solve the fan noise issue by going into ARMOURY CRATE in your laptop and select silent mode. Or, you can press and hold on the FN key and click F5 and you can see either silent, performance, or turbo mode. (turbo mode will show if plugged in to AC).

the laptop 3060 is really just a glorified 3050 though but it works fine

I remember that episode. Quality hackery.

Yo! I've missed that one... Imma check it out 🤣

I had a Dell in recently that the customer thought needed a new fan. It was really loud, fan going like the clappers, temps off the charts. Looked at the bottom, big intake vent area...what's the issue? Took the bottom plate off...the whole intake area the fan sucks up from was covered with a thick black plastic sticker. The kind of stuff you get wrapped round a laptop HDD. 5 minutes with a scalpel cutting out the slots and the laptop was purring. I do wonder if these companies really know what they are doing sometimes.

It is not thermal throttling because neither GPU or CPU are running at full speed 😆All the bloatware taking up RAM serves as sort of passive cooler 😆

Lol I was also shocked 🤣

Well, not that surprising. That CPU is 4 cores and 8 threads, somewhere in the ball park of an i7-3770.

there should be a thermal limit... no modern 4 core CPU can really bottleneck a 1650 laptop

@@jesusbarrera6916 I did some search online and the I5 10300H is a perfect CPU for 1650 I think it would be a driver issue sir something

And undoubtedly, both sucked 🤔 And this after their "denying" there was anything wrong, with the first iteration or the follow up 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

This is mostly lack of RAM, not single channel problem. Difference between 2x8 GB and 1x16 GB is few percent.

@@thetalesofdaneandco nah I have the 1650 ti version

IT Tech here too. I disagree. This laptop uses the same design as their more expensive tuf laptops (upwards of 1,100). This laptop actually came with a “lifting screw” on the front right corner where it stays in place and lifts the bottom cover up from the case. This implies they want you to open from the front. Also the cover toward the back part of this laptop covers the vents. It’s almost impossible to open it from the back. I’ll say it’s designed good but executed badly. The clips are too tight. I’ll rather open this than laptops 5-10 years ago. Where everything is UNDER the keyboard. On Dells and Lenovos that I normally work on, you can open however you wish lol. The clips are carbon fiber and very lose.

Nice job
