The thing is I do want to game and building a gaming pc or PS5 would require me to buy a monitor, a table and all the other set ups on top of just the cpu. I am not planning on making those expenses yet and want to make do with laptop for the time being, which I need for work.
The 4050 is equivalent to a 3060 and both can run anything at 1080/60fps medium
The one with ryzen 7 7435hs and rtx 4050 falls into my price range. But another anon told me that 4050 is mid and min 4060 is necessary. Problem is most 4060 machines are over budget for me. Actually if I shell out $125 more than the 4050 variant I can get the 4060 one. 4070 is nono.
Lenovo are the best gaming laptops btw.
Ok. I'll check out the lenovo variants too. My friends could swear by tuf but they are not gaymers.
I don't own a monitor or a table. Plus I intend to pirate
TUF is sort of their lower end below ROG / Strix
Yes. I'm looking for a budget model that can still handle modern gamers relatively well.
Will this be your only PC / gaming platform?
For the foreseeable future yes.
Are you playing it on battery frequently/actually mobile or are you mostly plugged in with it at your desk/room? I
I don't intend to game much while on battery.
If you can go 32, do so.
All 32 models also have higher end cpu and GPU. Too espensive
You may need to get another SSD in the future, but II' suggest making your OS drive 2TB or 1TB at the minimum, as especially if you're not on Linux, Windows will eat up a fair bit of space!!
I already own a 1 tb hard drive. I'll only keep games that I am actively playing.
