If Your Budget Was $800, Which Laptop Would You Buy?

Laptop Recommendation
1

Need a laptop for a bit of gaming and study. Help!

2

My girlfriend got an ASUS Zephyrus G14 for $825 from Best Buy. It has a Ryzen 5, 4060, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. I think originally it was around $1200.

3

Refurbished Lenovo Slim 5 with Ryzen 8845HS on eBay.

4

Lenovo Legion 5 has a really good RTX 4060.

5

If you’re going to take this laptop to class, consider a Lenovo LOQ with a 4070 for $800. It has a 7435 AMD processor, which might mean poor battery life because there’s no iGPU.

6

HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop is a solid choice.

7

Honestly, I’d save for a bit longer. If you have $800 now, why not wait and get something that won’t feel limiting in 6 months?

8

I saw an ASUS G16 with an i7 13650HX and a 4050 for $750. Go find a deal!

9

Acer Nitro 5 gaming starter kit for $700. It runs well for gaming.

10

I’d get a cheap ThinkPad laptop and use the rest for a PC.

11

4060 is a good option. Look for the best performance-to-price ratio.

12

Check out the Lenovo LOQ 15, which has a good GPU and display.
