  Lol 4050, didn't even know they made those. Crap value aswell. Should be able to get 4060 for that and 4070 for a tad more

  That's a 3060 price laptop. Should be a 4060 in there

  Not a bargain! On the contrary, it's a rip-off!

  w/o 13th cpu, it only take $15xx for the same model of this laptop in 12th gen:

  The price difference doesn't match the performance

  45w 4050, no mux, cooling un-updated for 5-6 years in a row, 62.5%srgb 144hz 1080p panel, 13620H refreshed 12650H with minimal performance increase, (profanity)-o battery life, and no more portable at some over 2kg.

  This is a retextured gf thin and arguably the worst budget gaming laptop on the market, much more so than even old TUF and nitro 5s. Buy this if you hate yourself. I really hope nobody on that 12 upvotes jumped on this pathetic excuse of an e-waste. This will actually bring you misfortune.

  Going pm the ozbargainers who upvoted to talk them out of buying this. 1.9 grand for this POS? give me a break now

    Wait what 45W TDP for the 4050?? Where did you get that info?

        Maybe a typo? 145W instead of 45W? I mean if it was truly 45W then it will be a huge bottleneck…

        Edit: Scrap that it is really 45W. So either it will be very power efficient or just straight up underpowered.

          @Grey 13: a 4050 goes up to 115w base tdp, with 25w dynamic boost makes 140w max possible offered by manufacturers - such as in the new legion 5

          so yeah this is comically underpowered

            @Brrrrt: So they downtune the TDP of an already questionable GPU even though this laptop is not an ultrabook or anything?

  Sorry, but whoever upvoted this needs to do their research. Overpriced and underpowered machine even when discounted.

  1. The CPU only has 6 performance cores. You can get 8 core H series CPUs in this price point from AMD and Intel.
  2. As mentioned further up the 4050 is under powered in TGP and VRAM, 45w and 6Gb is not enough at this price. There have been 3070 equipped laptops at this price with better chassis and screens.
  3. 53wh battery in a gaming focused laptop with 13th gen is not going to last long without a wall socket nearby.

  Is the 4060 model gimped as well by a 45W limit?
  Edit - seems to be
