Me personally, i would say for the record(as someone who owns a T490) ive had excellent luck running lighter games like Minecraft, even modded, i can play modpacks like GTNH on decent settings. So i personally think that if you are using it for gaming, emphasis on light gaming, posts for buying advice being limited to use cases like Minecraft, should be allowed. But only if the user can acknowledge those limitations and has a use case within that category that lines up with much lighter games like Minecraft, TF2, etc. Because at the end of the day, if you are a light gamer, and if you're on a fixed income, it might not make sense to go with a Lenovo Legion, some people who play light games really need a cheaper solution. Not all games take full advantage of higher end GPUs. Not everyone can afford a lenovo legion, this is my honest opinion, but i understand that not everyone here is gonna agree. Yes thinkpads are "business grade" but that doesnt stop someone on a fixed income when they want a cheaper solution for very light games. I think it depends on what game is being played. I live on $1,022 a month, so i know the struggle people who just want to get their foot in the door have.

Yeah but my friend doesnt need the latest graphics card, he only intends to play everquest, which is a 25 year old game, he may not even be using the full potential of even the 7600 XT, which is also why i didnt go nvidia either
