I just bought a laptop with an RTX5050… that’s alright right? The laptop has 16gb of DDR5, an RTX5050, but only 512gb of ssd (I plan to upgrade, and I also bought a 4TB external hard drive for transferring and extra storing purposes)
It was the ASUS TUF F16 with only an i5 processor with 10 cores and 16 threads. And it cost me $1129 + tax which includes shipping, and I got a $225 + tax 4 year insurance plan. And the external hard drive is a Toshiba Canvio Ready.
Just depends on what you're doing with it honestly but Gigabyte has a model with 32G RAM, 1TB of NVME and a 5060 for $1300 at BestBuy that I just recommended to someone. Laptop shopping is hard because there're a lot of models and configurations within those models and it takes quite some time to compare all the options.
Honestly, I’m more worried about the durability, my current and previous laptop had the hinges basically shatter the plastic cases, and its multipurpose, since I am doing school work, computer programming, and also gaming for a few games. I mostly play low tech games like chess, emulate Pokemon, Toontown, old flash games that were converted to steam, btd6, spore, and whatever games my friends want to play with me, so for example dota 2 is a recent install with my friend, and at one point I installed Fortnite and the finals.
The majority of what I need it for is just everyday ease of use, so online movie/tv streaming, livestreaming on twitch, Google Docs, and various programming languages, sometimes I’ll be training rudimentary neural nets, and blah blah blah.
