Heya good evening everyone. I'm looking for laptop that can play some games when I'm away from home.

Main game I spend most time with is Lord of the Rings Online. Game is like 10+ years old, I don't think the requirements would be anything modern GPU can't handle?

I'm located in Ontario, Canada and heard of Lenovo from a co worker and just checked the site. 3050 sounds reasonable for what my usage? Other the gaming, I'd just be watching some twitch, YouTube, Netflix Spotify etc..

I don't know how big a difference a 4050, 3060, 3070 makes... I'd be using this machine for a few years minimum.

Is this laptop something worth considering? Should I look into a different GPU? Also any other companies I should look into? Or if any suggestions on deals I'd love to see them!

Thank you for any help / input!

I forgot how bad laptops are

this machine is pretty crap

#

8GB RAM sucks
512GB storage is small

#

not sure what the canadian market is like but check bestbuy etc

#

3050 isn't the problem for casual gaming like lotr online the rest of it is

My brother actually will help me with some money towards it, so I can look into something up to $1300 after taxes.

#

Ahh ok ok, I will check that out right now.

The 3050 is pretty shit as far as gpus go

#

youd think 3060 to 3070 is probably the same distance as 3050 to 3060

#

But its not at all, the 3050 does WAY worse than a 3060

#

especially since it doesnt have that whole 12gb of vram like the 3060

#

But its got a 3070ti and a 12700h for $999

Oh wow that sounds great!

#

Checking it now ty ty

hollow merlin
#

Yeah

#

just i want to stress this a lot

#

record it when u open it

#

newegg doesnt always check the package so sometimes you dont actually get what u order

#

atleast if its open box

#

Ahh I understand ok. Just in case if there's a problem or damage or something.

#

I have it recorded.

hollow merlin
#

Yeah

#

ive only heard of this once but someone recieved a brick apparently instead of a gpu

#

💀

#

Mostly just the buyer returns the product and newegg just doesnt check to see if they actually got what they were supposed to get back

#

So sometimes the buyer just sends back the box with like something goofy inside and actually gets refunded the money
