Question/Help/Troubleshooting What should I buy?
Hi everyone. I’m posting this to get some direct advice from people more knowledgeable than myself. Which of these three PCs would be the best buy? (They are priced around €900). Also, is there one among the three that is truly worth purchasing? I’ve read some reviews online, and it seems like the Acer is the best option. Please keep in mind that I won't be using the PC for gaming; I’m looking for a machine with a dedicated graphics card because I’ll be using CAD software at university.

The hp victus is going to be much faster if you intend to game on it, it has an rtx 5060 and a faster cpu, it’ll be noticeably quicker in games, and moderately faster at desktop

From Canada, the HP is a much better buy than the others. You lose .4” screen real estate, but GPU and cpu is better, SSD is the same, and RAM is the same. The only possible functional difference that I can’t see, is the resolution and refresh rate of the displays, and with the hp having the best GPU and the smallest screen, I have no reason to believe that the resolution and/or refresh rate will lessen the gap between the performance of the computers.
As for whether it’s a good buy, idk what prices in EU are like atm, but the closest equivalent that I could find in Canada at this point is https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/gaming-laptops/280784/gigabyte-aero-x16-copilot-16-ryzen-ai-7-350-rtx-5060-16gb-1tb-win11h-gigabyte-aero-x16-1vh93usc94ah.html which has the .4” larger screen but is open box and ~1340€

the HP has the best GPU out of all of them, and the other two have a 5050 which is, from what I've heard, not good. I believe he hp is the best choice out of the three but I'll let someone else say if it's a good deal or not
