Hi all,

Been toying with the idea of getting a medium budget gaming laptop. I have a PS5 which I’ll primarily use for major, graphically demanding AAA titles.

Have had my eyes on this: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/acer-nitro-5-15-6-inch-i5-12…

What are your thoughts on this laptop? I can’t find much about the Nitro 5 4060 model online, only the 4050. It’s on sale as well so I’d like to grab it while it lasts.

Now, I know next to nothing about computers. I've looked at a few different laptops in this price range and this one seems to have decent specs. I’ve read about the washed out colours with Nitros, but I plan to use a monitor with it so I’m not too concerned. I would prefer a laptop over a desktop, though.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

i7 over i5
3070 is around 30% better than the 4060

  That MSI has mobile rtx3060
  
  Mobile rtx4060 is 10-15% faster than rtx3060 , depending on power package.
  
  rtx4060 supports dlss3.0

Crazy that laptops at that price and screen size only have a 1080p display. Even if you game at 1080p, having a higher resolution for the game overlays makes a huge difference.

  Personally I would MUCH prefer 1080p on a laptop, otherwise it's a waste, most people cannot tell the difference between 1080p and higher on small screens.
  I would prefer the extra money to goto screen QUALITY or a better GPU.
  If you want a bigger screen get an external one.
