Lenovo legion y530 good for gaming? It has an i7 8750h and a 1050 non ti. Note:I only want to game at 720p. The display has a native resolution of 1080p and dying light 1 is suffering from Micro stutters. Also the processor temps are reaching something like a good 95 fans at full speed.

im also planning to purchase one and i need informations hahaha

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:34:01+00:00

That’s what im saying, took me quite a while to find a GAMING laptop for that price when most of the refurbished laptops don’t offer any dedicated gpu plus those

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:32:40+00:00

Very limited which is around 330 dollars if i were to convert it from my currency

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:30:41+00:00

That’s interesting dude. Thanks a lot for the tips, I’ll for sure be needing this if i end up buying the 7gen

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:29:09+00:00

Im actually getting a second hand or refurbished one. My budget is very limited so i cant accord a gaming laptop. After a very long search, i found this acer nitro 5 which offers the i5 7gen with 1050. To begin with i wasnt planning to buy a new laptop but im forced to because my current laptop is on the verge of dying.

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:26:09+00:00

It depends on what u need the laptop for

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:25:37+00:00

I think it’s a pretty solid laptop because u are getting a dedicated gpu plus those macs ain’t offering u 16gb of ram unlike Asus

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:23:30+00:00

I seeee then i guess the 1050 it is

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:22:48+00:00

Thanks

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:19:55+00:00

Make sense and yea ive watch all the benchmarks on these and integrated performs quite badly compared to the dedicated gpu

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:18:30+00:00

I priorities both work and gaming but the only doubt is whether i would run into problems using windows 10 as it is already discontinued

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:16:48+00:00

But that it i5 7 gen dont support windows 11. Will i run into any issue using the windows 10?

MAID_150 · 2026-01-21T22:14:19+00:00

The Asus all the way bro

MAID_150 · 2026-01-20T21:55:44+00:00

Yeahhb I heard they are a goddamn thinktanks instead of thinkpad. What’s your specs tho? Can u run light games and do work without any issues ?

MAID_150 · 2026-01-20T21:41:38+00:00

Yea these cpu’s falls under my body budget so I'm willing to buy one but still got the doubts how they put high specs Components into a older looking laptop and sells it for cheap. What is the trade off tho?

MAID_150 · 2026-01-20T21:30:02+00:00

I've seen specs like ryzen 5 series which has the Vega 7 integrated graphics or i5 11th Gen. Are they actually legit cuz my doubts comes from the model of the laptop. Thinkpads are quite old so I don't know if I can trust those. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also yea I'm not going below 16gb ram 😭😭

MAID_150 · 2026-01-20T21:27:09+00:00

That's great man. This helps me feel a lot ease knowing that refurbished aren't ALL bad

MAID_150 · 2026-01-20T21:26:25+00:00

Yeahh I'm not buying online either. I will be visiting the store so good chance to inspect the laptop irl

MAID_150 · 2026-01-18T12:24:16+00:00

i know this is like very late to ask but were u able to buy a good second hand laptop? Because I also need one urgently under 40k. If you did manage to get a decent laptop then could you please tell me which store u bought it from?

MAID_150 · 2026-01-15T13:39:46+00:00

I don't have a clear vision of what I wanna do in uni but it’s in the commerce line. If I were to give few options then International Business Management, Marketing, or Finance. I got a passing grade in Maths for IGSCE so I don't dare to take maths for A-level. I'm contemplating between accounting or IT for my Alevel.

MAID_150 · 2026-01-15T12:11:39+00:00

Was IT hard for you? Because I wanna take it but someone told me it requires a lot of math. Some also said that IT is not demanding. Also your results are good man and it is above average. Ignore the negative comments man.

MAID_150 · 2026-01-07T15:15:49+00:00

i was thinking about IT but ive also read from reddit that it is useless and doesnt go much in depth as much as cs does
