Hey
Was looking at getting a ASUS ROG Ally or even a Steam Deck but then I saw this deal on this gaming Laptop
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/lenovo-legion-5i-15-6-fhd…
As I don’t know much about PC Gaming, was wondering if this Laptop would be good?
I know it’s not as portable than the other two I mention, but is it more powerful and can play games better?
Any info on it would be appreciated
Thanks
Just thought seeing it’s the same price almost as the Ally it would be a better buy
Do you want a handheld or a laptop? They're very different beasts.
Yer I know but seeing that the Ally is basically a handheld laptop I was asking if this would be more powerful and better if I’m not taking into consideration the portability of a handheld versus a laptop
That's equipped with the RTX 3050 (non-TI) with 4GB VRAM
Very basic, and I think the lowest end RTX 3000 mobile GPU you can find in a laptop. It does have a Mux chip according to Jarrod's tech but this laptop is quite underpowered given it's price point.
The Dell G15 deal here is a hundred more ($1,498 vs $1399) and you will get a 6GB RTX 3060 and there's also CR/SB cashback, 4% minus the GST.
Thank you
Idk where you live but PLE has one with better GPU 4050 6GB and 1TB SSD:
MSI Thin GF63 12VE-225AU 15.6" 144Hz 12th Gen i5 12450H RTX 4050 Win 11 Gaming Notebook @ $1,399.
JB is cheaper with discounted gift cards.
Thanks, couldn’t see this one listed on Jb
NO, that's way too much for a rtx3050, I'd be hunting for a 3060 at that price, but may take a while
Thanks for al your help

What games are you playing?
Yes, it's quite a powerful machine, and it will be play games better than either of the handhelds. Though if you're playing less intensive titles then you'll be fine with the ROG Ally or even the Steam Deck.
