Is this a good gaming console

New to the gaming laptop world but want something better than my PS5. What do you think?

Do not spend 1299 for a 3060

Anything with a 4070

Lenovo Legion or ROG Zephyrus are solid options

This is a good deal if you’re okay with spending another 100-200 to upgrade the RAM and SSD

4060 so not quite a 4070 but still several hundred dollars cheaper and will perform better than your initial choice

@Rin
Also 64GB of RAM is way overkill

@Rin
The 4060 is more worth it due to the TDP and the 4070 would definitely feel underpowered despite being better just by a few %.

Yeah I spent 1200 for a 3060 Legion 3 years ago and just built a 6750XT desktop for 950. 1299 is overpriced.

For that price you can get a 4070 on a good deal

ASUS TUF 15.6 Gaming Laptop

For $999

MSI Katana 15

For $1242

The 3060M is not bad by any means, but with that budget you can get yourself something better.

It’s a shame Best Buy doesn’t ship to African countries. Apparently, they don’t even ship to courier addresses. :woman_facepalming: Missing out on many good deals like this

Yeah, they don’t even ship to U.S. territories like in my case so even when they have two stores here we can’t get those sweet online prices because local prices are expensive :expressionless:

Hell, being outside of the US pretty much narrows your options to either Amazon or forwarding companies, which mostly suck.

@Valen
4070 with a 1440p panel for $1200 is such a good deal. I paid $1200 for my 4060 laptop last year.

@Valen
Which ones better outta the 2

It’s 16GB of RAM when I hit the link. Do they have one with 32GB?

@Valen
Do not buy an MSI, they’re the worst, most unreliable laptops you can get.

Had two MSI’s never missed a beat. Got the top of the range model currently and it’s a beast with its 4090.

Woah don’t purchase this at any costs

You’re paying over 1200 bucks for a 3060… You can get a 4070 for that price :sob::sob:
