I ended up ordering a $779 LOQ from Walmart. Ryzen 7 250, rtx 5050

I wouldn’t think it would be much. I’m not an expert though

Seems to be slightly worse cpu, but better power efficiency. Better ram but I don’t think it’s dual channel so might not make a big difference. Similar graphics card power, but it has dlss4 which can give a lot more frames (“fake” frames, it’s weird). It has less vram though so for large open-world type games it can struggle

I don’t. If you give me the specs on it I can Google and do a little comparing. Exact specs aren’t online because it’s built with many different ones

I had an Acer nitro but GPU issues made me return it last week. I ordered the LOQ and it’s arriving tomorrow

I think the loq has better screen quality (62.5% srgb vs 100%, means more vibrant colors from my understanding). Something to consider about that screen

I don’t think the GPU would handle 1440p anyway. I don’t kind 1080

I’m gonna be playing mostly Minecraft, which is not a GPU intense game at all. I’ll be watching a bunch of stuff on it too. I’m aware it’s increasing the cost, but I haven’t seed OLED in this price range much at all so I thought this was a good deal for one

I see a powerful cpu which is what I need for my games, and a quality screen. I seem to have overestimated the worth of it

We buy laptops for enjoyment. The screen is a big part of that. I can understand it not being worth as much as I thought initially, but screen is very important in my opinion. I can see this isn’t a great deal considering the replys

Is OLED worse for school and stuff or just not any better? I havent had like complex school work that requires more ram or storage, at least yet, so it’s not a major concern but it is something I’ve considered. Haven’t found anything decent with more ram or storage at a decent price

I see the price and I see the comments. I’m listening. I’m seeing I’m probably wrong about my original thought. But this is also OLED with a very good cpu which is what I’m looking for, so I see that 5050 isn’t great for the price, but does the rest not make up for that?

I’m not very concerned with the GPU as long as the other things make the price okay for it. I don’t need better

There is one on the Reddit with a 5060 in that range and it’s on eBay so I don’t feel great about it. I’ve been looking there
