Not aware of any issues with Nitro series.

I don't think the extra 2 cores are worth $200, in gaming the FPS boost wouldn't be much vs the 18% higher cost, but maybe if you're doing…

Welcome!

Cheers!

Hmm I don't have the right stuff to do the comparison fairly, at least without buying another laptop, as my 2050 has the 11400H CPU while…

On the deal? We've had it on our site for almost a week already ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) On the laptop itself? It's the cheapest RTX 4050 laptop…

Video is already up on the channel. If you need battery life, stay away. If you don't care so much about that, performance is decent in…

It went back up a few hundred since then, but I'll probably throw mine on ebay for $1000 soon and see what happens as my video on it is…

For $1600 you should be able to get an RTX 4060 easy - I got one for $1479 with the Lenovo LOQ from Centre Com last week.

Maybe if it was the 6GB 3050 which is better, but you can get a 4050 for close to this with the right deal and that's a fair bit better.

The specs

Yeah we have a 4060 model listed for $300 less, but it's an older CPU, half the RAM and half the SSD space. I guess personally for me I'd…

Oh true, not sure how I missed that lol.

Can't recall the specs or where it is, I just have a dodgy internal list where I note down the price range for what I deem as a deal before…

It's not really that different, I think I talked about how it differs briefly in my 2024 review on YouTube a few months back. It's mostly…

Hmm little on the higher side but not too bad, the 4060 LOQ has hit $1499 online in the past. This in store deal is the lowest I've seen it…

I don't have it anymore to check the wattage, but my testing methodology can be found here if you want more details :)…

Yeah, optimus on via advanced optimus, so technically if an app wanted to wake the 4070 it could, but it shouldn't really happen during…

I got 290 minutes in YouTube video playback (200 nit screen) which is above average compared to a lot of other Intel based laptops, so I…

I think the m16 with 4080 was an R1, I wonder if it'll even come back in stock, it might be done. Yeah the 2560 x 1600 screen should be…

Not too bad, higher side for a 4070, but it is also a more premium option compared to many others. So far Lenovo's EOFY sales haven't been…

The 4080 version was on sale recently for just under $3000. Yeah it's 20% more money which is a fair bit ($500), but the 4080 is 55% or so…

Yeah it's more than the VRAM too. The newer 6GB version also has more CUDA cores, the same as the 3050 Ti actually, but with more VRAM, so…

Maybe, last time I compared 3050 and 4050, 4050 was 38% faster in 20+ games at 1080p, and in this case the 4050 costs 44% more money.…

Pretty good for the money, and good that it's not the older 4GB VRAM 3050 too.

Yeah I meant 3050 sorry, typo! Both have 6GB VRAM at least :)

GTX 1650 gonna be rough in modern games, definitely worth an extra $100 for the RTX 3060 6GB Lenovo LOQ at Officeworks IMO if you can…

Yeah I'm associated with my own deals website, gaminglaptop.deals, so I disclose that with each post.

Me? No, I'm just a laptop reviewer on YouTube.

Yeah it is, ends up performing similarly to a full powered 4050, so might as well spend about the same on a higher tier model like the…
