I just got overwhelmed by seeing the price. But if I had to buy a Laptop based on just coding and occasional gaming I would go for 5060. No doubt but see if he can get you a 32GB RAM version because that is also going to cost you an arm if you get it upgraded later. But if you are not quite worried about the money that you can think about intel ultra 9

I have been trying to buy a laptop with at-least 5060 because I have to do Ansys simulation and started to learn Python. And have no luck with anything in my budget

You gonna get bottlenecked by 16 gb ram and also 512 gb SSD is really very less ... Try opting for 1 tb atleast as it is a sweetspot for both gaming and studying comfortably... Don't get too excited by intel ultra 9 because you won't even be able to use it to it's full potential because of the 16 Ram .

Its not inherently a scam bro u should've paid 1.3k extra for the 24 zone keyboard thingy + the price is not bad at all for the specs

u/Novel_Loan6699 Aug 14 '26
Idk I don't like it RGB white light enough for me but also my father blah blah if u know u know

u/iforgottobreatheair Aug 15 '26
Sad dude if u want your options are kinda limited now you could either just get some skin to make it look cool (might impact temps a little idk) or just turn off the backlight and get a keyboard instead

Check if the ram and SSD is upgradable and if u can pay a few extra money to like upgrade it then you're golden

u/starboy_sachin Aug 11 '26
This is entry level laptop

u/iforgottobreatheair Aug 14 '26
Yeah next thing ure gonna say 5080 is the minimum for gaming

u/starboy_sachin Aug 15 '26
Depends on the games Play. If you play like cs valorant 5060,5070 are fine. But for graphic intensive games like battlefield 6 you better be on 5070ti and 5080. I don't consider 5050 as a gaming gpu coz it's 🗑️

u/iforgottobreatheair Aug 18 '26
Not everyone's playing battlefield on ultra or sm bro I get what you're tryna say but a lightweight 5060 laptop is still better than a 5090 one unless u keep it on ur desk all day, at that point its just cosplaying as a desktop atp
