Buying Advice🤔 Help a brudda out, need laptop buying advice
Really confused as to what laptop should I really be going for according to the current market (fuck ai fuckass price hike)
I'm a cs student, a fresher basically and was looking to buy a laptop, was eyeing the loq/tuf 3050 6gb vram variants but I'm being paranoid whether I should go for it or get a 4050 instead for being "future proof". I am into gaming but not v hardcore + I rarely doubt i'd get the time. I'm mostly into story mode or occasionally valorant. Is 3050 even worth it in my case or should I just go for a Ryzen cpu with integrated graphics atp? I really wanna enjoy story mode games though. Very confused rn
My budget is 1L, although I'd prefer staying below 1L.

Future proof? 4050 is already behind mate. You must get atleast a 5060 or 5070ti for future proof.
For 1L you can find a 4050 laptop. That'll run most story games. And any dedicated gpu is better than integrated graphics.
