    Does that gigabyte have a mux switch or advanced Optimus?

    Thanks intelseb and AndyC1,

    What do you think? Should I wait for a insanely cost-efficient deal like the $999 Ideapad 3 RTX3060 deal?

    My options for this EOFY are:
    -Gigabyte G5 KD RTX 3060 ~$1450
    -refurbished G5 Ryzen 5515 RTX 3050 for ~$1000 @ Dell outlet ~$1000 new @ Dell Australia
    -MSI GF65 thin RTX 3060 ~$1450
