However potential buyers beware! The laptop does indeed come with 8GB memory installed as advertised however for some reason Lenovo decided to set 2 GB RAM as hardware reserved. Overall great performance and great value for money. Got it for 69K, a great deal indeed (I later discovered the price had dropped to 66K two days later, just my luck!). Not many reviews for RTX 3050 variant so writing one. Overall verdict is if you are looking for a 3050 laptop under 70k that also has a decent screen then look no further considering you can work around the poor battery backup.Įlse go for the Dell g15 it's got better performance than this one and also a better battery only con of that is it's screen as that's a wva panel so the IdeaPad gaming beats it in that regard. Only con of this laptop is its battery which is quite saddening from it got from 80%-30% charge within 1.75 hours of normal usage.ĭidn't fully charge or drain it cuz doing so would just damage the battery.

The boot and load time of the SSD is also very fast. So over-all quite satisfied with the raw performance and thermals.

These temps are very good imo for a laptop in this segment for long sessions of gaming considering I did the testing in a non AC room.

This certainly does decrease your overall cpu performance but you generally won't be requiring much cpu power anyway for gaming as most titles are gpu bound also turning on nvidia whisper mode from nvidia control panel does help a bit with the temperature as well.įollowing these steps I played witcher 3 for 3 hours on wall power and got stable 60 fps throughout the entire time while the cpu never crossed 75 degrees and the gpu never crossed 70 degrees. The laptop heats up quite a bit under heavy gaming but there's a workaround, just disable turbo boost of your cpu from registry editor and voila! Your cpu is now 15-20 degrees cooler.

Its screen is one of the best in the entire segment and it's performance is only second to Dell g15(2021) in this segment.įor optimal gaming experience do upgrade the ram to 16 gb tho. I have been using the R5 5600h+ 3050 model for a month now and have been enjoying it quite a lot.
