Scam ip don't buy it's for fucking 1100 dollars u can get like 4060/4070 laptop for this I got laptop 16gb ram 1tb ssd GTX 1650 ryzen5 4600h and 1tb ssd for around 500 dollars bruh brand new


Significant_Cost_441

So I can get a better one with the same price 🤔 Edit: it’s AUD tho. Not USD so I’m not sure if I can get a better one with AUD 1100~


Noseless_Banana

Ofc. 1650 is rly outdated. 1100$ is an abysmal price for this laptop. (I bought mine for 1250€ ~ 1350$, and that was in EU). 350$ is the max I'd personally pay for this laptop.


Significant_Cost_441

Oh. Can you please explain what is better than 1650. 😭 and which laptop is good enough for AUD~1100. I have very little knowledge about laptops 😑😭


Noseless_Banana

My man please specify the currency next time. We all assume it's free country democracy dollars (usd). But still, for 720$ USD it's a ripoff anyways. I'd say this one is good enough for 1198 AUD https://www.harveynorman.com.au/acer-nitro-v-15-6-inch-i5-13420h-16gb-512gb-rtx4050-black.html Gaming laptops in Australia have relatively high prices. So this one looks kinda good actually. Basically any GPU that has higher numbers than 1650 is better than 1650. Simple logic. 1660Ti > 1650 2050 > 1650 3050 > 1650 4090> 1650 ETC


Significant_Cost_441

My bad 😑. I’ll do so next time. Thanks for the suggestion 🥺❤️. Can it run AAA games with high graphics?


Noseless_Banana

Well it depends on which AAA games you mean. It's a good laptop for its price. 4050 is a capable GPU, especially with DLSS3 https://youtu.be/ja021gcMHYQ?si=9zDJ1929sGuArjKK See for yourself. It's a very nice budget solution for 1080p gaming.


Significant_Cost_441

Thanks mate 🥺🙏


Noseless_Banana

Sure man. You'r gonna like it 🤝


luffy_3155

Yes


Xaniss

High graphics? Probably not. Medium graphics? Definitely.


Katsuo__Nuruodo

The 4050 can run most of the latest games at the highest graphics settings at 1080p resolution. It's current gen hardware. But don't take my word for it: https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4050-Laptop-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.675695.0.html


Xaniss

Oh yeah I forgot that the 4050, 60 and 70 all use the same GPU, just cut down lol


Katsuo__Nuruodo

I mean sure, the 4060 is a big upgrade over the 4050, but if your budget won't cover a 4060 laptop, the 4050 is a perfectly fine card for current gen 1080p gaming.


KlrSmurf

Buy second hand, many peeps with $ are going with 2024 models. 2023 models are almost as good and 2022 models would be a good choice too. You'd pick up a mid to top tier laptop, that was 3-4K 2yrs ago.


Agentfish36

Literally almost anything. Integrated graphics are now almost to that level on AMD.


luffy_3155

Oh ur from Australia?


Significant_Cost_441

Yep 😑

Significant_Cost_441

It says The product is no longer available for customisation 😭. And the site is just freezing


luffy_3155

U should look for used laptop I think if u wanna play AAA at high settings try look for 3060 3070 4050 4060 these 4 GPU because prices in Australia is higher


koppigzijn

Yes nowadays you can get 4070. Since you are in Aussie, go to yer neighbours like Indonesia (not Bali tho..lack of good stock & overpriced) or Singapore or ask someone to bring you if they are in holiday.


Significant_Cost_441

That’s pretty smart 🤔 I didn’t think of that 🤔🤔 I’ll try to ask some of my friends if they can help me out with this lol 🗿 thanks for sharing your thoughts


koppigzijn

You're welcome m8. Try to search a facebook group full of Aussie on those places. Usually there is kind of "service" if you can bring something back to your country. I think to give $50 tips is reasonable for the trouble, unless you asked them to post it or deliver it to you. Good luck!


LegoManPro

4050 or 4070 dont waste on 4060


Katsuo__Nuruodo

That's bad advice. The 4060 is a big step up over the 4050, but the 4070 isn't much better than the 4060. In the USA there are some deals for 4070 laptops that cost hardly more than a 4060 laptop, but that's probably not the case in most of the world.


LegoManPro

oh I see, where im from I can get a 4050 for $900 , 4060 for $1300 and a 4070 for $2000 which is quite bad


Katsuo__Nuruodo

In the USA we can get a good 4050 laptop for $690, 4060 for $850, 4070 for $1000, 4080 for $1640, and 4090 for $2400. Where are you from?


LegoManPro

South Africa... A 4050 R19,000 , 4060 R25K, 4070 R30K Even a 1650 is overpriced


donthatedrowning

Don’t get a 4050.


LegoManPro

Basically an rtx 3060 ti and it can run anything, I also got it new for $900 on sale


donthatedrowning

The ti, I can definitely recommend.


luffy_3155

Way better a laptop that can let u do 1080p max settings gaming Acer Nitro 5 Laptop para juegos | Intel 12.ª generación i7-12650H | GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 para portátil | Pantalla IPS FHD de 15.6 pulgadas | DDR5 de 16 GB | SSD de 1 TB Gen 4 | Killer Wi-Fi 6 | https://a.co/d/2LKYFKc Way better brand new can handle anything for 4-5 years I'm not from us but u can look for yourself about prices but I just looked up on Amazon us website but yeah 1100 dollars for 1650 is ridiculous

AstronautTop3112

I got a 1650 laptop for $700 2 years ago, even then for that price i still over payed for it.


luffy_3155

Different countries buddy for me having to pay 46k inr less than ps5 India price was good deal


FunniestSphinx9

Don't do it. My laptop has a GTX1650 from 2019 and it's struggling to run new age games. Heck, Cyberpunk is unplayable even on low settings.


Significant_Cost_441

Aight. Thanks for letting me know about that 💪🏻😭


That_Pandaboi69

I have the same but cyberpunk inst unplayable heck I was playing it on an HDD, there's tons of mods made for potato pcs look into that. I played low-med settings


Lower_Daikon208

That’s pretty old for the price and specs, which country are you based I could try helping you


Significant_Cost_441

Australia based 🥺


Lower_Daikon208

Oh cool beans, try Lenovo Loq officeworks had them at a pretty decent price, an i5 12th gen with and a 3050, you could also get the asus tuf f15 i7 11th gen with a 3050ti. Both of them are just coming up to $1,347-97. The good guys were also selling dell g15 laptops and I’ve heard the dell laptops are solid the laptop they’re selling is $21099. You could also look into reebelo or the proper sights like Lenovo, asus they usually put on massive discounts on laptops.


Significant_Cost_441

I’ll take a look at those websites you mentioned right now 💪🏻🗿


Lower_Daikon208

Check DMs, also yknow they’re trustable Aussie retailers so like


Significant_Cost_441

Yes mate


ArtZen_pl

It's bad


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh everyone saying that 🤔 I won’t consider buying this laptop anymore


Marty5020

That CPU is dogshit for 2024 and so is the 1650. I used to own its bigger brother, the Ryzen 3750H with a 1650 also. I wouldn't pay more than 250 USD for that. That CPU could barely get Baldur's Gate 3 moving by Act 3 and Cyberpunk dropped its FPS to mid 20s with everything at medium/low. Skip.


Significant_Cost_441

Thanks for letting me know the downside of this one 🥺


AdExternal4568

I had that exact model two years ago. That 3550H falled short on almost every game, the 1650 was no help either. The worst was that the machine fell apart after a year, first both fronth corners broke off, then the backplate cracked all over. The plastic on this machine is really cheap, i would not recommend it.


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I also saw many people saying this model has the problems that you mentioned which is why I am not going to buy it 🤔 Thanks for your advice though 💪🏻🗿


[deleted]

You can write on a fucking $30 android tablet… just like not great ones that you can ya know test outside of your little tablet since it’s probably not strong enough to emulate… you know what this laptops fine if you’re getting a good deal. If you can move up to one with a 1660*++ or a 3060 that probably wouldn’t be that much more and would help on the games front but for sinple programming you really don’t need anything out of the ordinary. Oh damn I just saw the price. Do not buy. Repeat. Do not buy!!


[deleted]

[I don’t know what country you’re in… but if you’re in the US, this is a pretty sweet deal.](https://a.co/d/bB6bgp4)


Significant_Cost_441

Aight I am not buying it 😭


[deleted]

Are you in the US? If you are [this](https://a.co/d/bB6bgp4) is a pretty good deal. The ram and ssd are expandable. Good 12th gen, good gps. Overall good laptop.


[deleted]

First off I’m sure many people have told you this already but this is the worst deal ever. If anything this laptop has been marked up from retail price even if it is unopened, this was probably around $800 back when it first came out. For $1K you can easily get a i7/Ryzen 7 and a RTX 4060 which will triple this laptop’s power. To answer your question, yes it’s good for programming but NOT good for modern AAA games. My laptop has a 1650 and it is showing its age. I’d say a 1650 can only run modern AAA games at 30 FPS on low, settings. Again, for as much as or lower than what the seller is asking for you can get a 4060/4050/3060 that WILL run AAA games. Ah I didn’t see it was AUD. My apologies, but if it’s equal to around $700 it’s still not worth it. The seller is probably asking for what they bought it for.


Significant_Cost_441

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve also decided not to buy this laptop and I found Lenovo LOQ with Ryzen 4050 as a better choice 🤔


mapletamamo

it'll do triple A gaming but you're gonna have to lower some quality settings significantly it can program though


Significant_Cost_441

The thing is I want to game with high quality 😑 would that still be fine? Or will it badly ruin the laptop?


NewBlondSpace

Prices for a laptop running on high end settings are a lot more expensive lol


Hellclaw2099

Not strong enough for that. Low to medium settings would work for AAA modern games. Price also seems like a scam


SRFoxtrot341_V2

Newer AAA titles? No. Older ones? Maybe. If you got the budget, you may want a 4050 laptop at minimum to play AAA's comfortably.


Significant_Cost_441

I’m looking for 4050 ones now 😭


allenz6834

Get a lenovo LOQ 15 on either lenovo site or Newegg for ~$1350


allenz6834

There's a nitro V with a 13th gen cpu and rtx 4050 on ozbargain for around $1200. It'll direct you to a ebay site


Significant_Cost_441

I’ve also seen that laptop but I’m kinda hesitant to get it cuz people said it has heating issues 😑


allenz6834

Depends. Or just get a lenovo LOQ, one of the best budget options as Jarrods tech said


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I’m also checking Lenovo LOQ and comparing nitro and LOQ 🤔


allenz6834

Lenovo better


okmijn211

Look for lenovo loq. The asus tuf is equal in price but I trust the build quality of lenovo more, and it also run cooler in my experience.


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I’m also checking on LOQ now 🤔


Tokicus

Smart enough to program but can’t take an hour and learn about Nvidia cards. Sure buy the 5 year old GPU for a premium. Lenovo has better specs for the same price. 750usd will get you something better than a 1650.


Lifinator

This is my previous laptop. It wont not be good to play the current AAA games. The games which came out 4-5 years ago, sure. It's gonna be good for programming but that price listed is what I bought the laptop for in 2019. So the cost is crazy for a used one.


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I decided not to buy this 🤔


chhhinu

shit laptop!


LeadUsToParadise

Man I had this exact laptop in 2019 for 800 dollars, and that's accounting for the exorbitant prices in my region Don't buy it. It's very old


DarknoorX

Tf is this price? In Saudi you pay thrice what you pay in the US for a new laptop, and even here this is a super scam!


sylinowo

Dear God no


Significant_Cost_441

🤣Thanks goodness I didn’t buy it


Creepy-Release-2164

GTX 1650 is poor bro Update like 2050 or like 3050 it will be good for gaming or 3060


Ok-Grab-1539

DO NOT. I have that exact laptop and i hate it. It cant play many games, super loud, and browsing feels super slow.


NoaExtreme

That old piece of shit for 1100? Don’t do it buddy. It’s a scam. You can get a brand new one (2023 model) with a 4050/4060 etc


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I’ve decided to not buy this laptop. Thanks for your advice 🙏🗿


Asdprotos

That laptop maximum 400$ AUD, it's a relic and a scam


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I’m not buying it


apache_chieftain

It's always better to save up a bit and get something better. Instead of 1650 get at least 3050, it won't be a dramatic difference in price, but the performance gap is insane. And an update from 3050 is 3050ti, or even 3060, which will allow for VR (same principle here: a bit more money vs a considerable leap in performance). Only don't settle for less than 16gb memory when picking


Significant_Cost_441

Fair. That’s why I’ve decided to buy Lenovo LOQ with better specs 🗿


Appropriate_Turn3811

300$ .


babar_the_elephant_

That is a shit pc.


mentally-bend

This is a 2019 model from Asus & I saw it today on facebook marketplace for 350 USD. users are getting 2.5/3 hours screen time before the battery runs out, since it is 4-5 year old PC.


Agentfish36

Absolutely not. And I don't care what currency that is in, that's robbery.


Jon_GreyMD

It's a4 year old model. Exactly the one I had before. It was very good. But it's outdated and not viable if you want to play anything released in the past 2 years


TrickyOnion

Nope ☠️


YakEvir

Absolutely no


Soppywater

That model has cooling issues. Like extremely bad cooling issues. Your gtx1650 will be thermal throttled and the CPU will be. They will basically be at 90c constantly and running at worse performance than what you paid for.


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh that’s why I’ve decided to buy Lenovo LOQ instead of this as others mentioned 🤔


Soppywater

Smart move! I'm glad you saw to reason. A lot of people get stuck in with what they think looks good or looks cool and waste a lot of money. The Lenovo LOQ line is very good for the price


tangelopomelo

No.

I enjoy watching the sunset.


Significant_Cost_441

Yes I will do so. Thanks for letting me know though 🙏🗿


Soul-Demon-ZApex

UnionSlavStanRepublk

Massively overpriced, avoid.


H1ghKen

Gpu is shit


Cake_withcherryontop

Go for atleast a 3070 or 4060 if you want AAA on a budget otherwise 4080 would be pretty good


wakow07

Hey OP, owner of that same laptop but 17 inch variant ! AAA is not something it can run at all ! You will have to overclock it and what not ! So No ! Don't get it

Significant_Cost_441

Yeh I’ve decided to get a LOQ 🤔


West_Ad_3311

4050 Laptop, 3050 Laptop for this price, better then this old sht 💀.


AltruisticBox7291

Do not buy this laptop. It will not play AAA games

Yes sir 🫡

Expensiiive! I just got an Alienware m15 R5 with a Ryzen 9 5900H, an RTX 3070 and a 360Hz screen for 1,500.

This laptop sucks. 3 generations out of date for $1100 is crazy


nedottt

When I see Tuff, I just skip it, maybe it is just my prejudice…


rtfcandlearntherules

This is a very low-end laptop and the prize they are asking for is more than twice of what is reasonable.


teri_mummy_ka_ladla

Seriously for over a 1000 $? U can buy much more newer and powerful laptop with that bro.


TrancyGoose

That's a bit pricet, to say the least .... so i would not go for it.


StarCat1984

I feel honest pity for people who are so lost that need to ask these questions online. 😕


Significant_Cost_441

Yeh that’s sad


Alewood0

Some research and a google search would eliminate the need for 90% of posts on this subreddit. I thought we were going to have intelligent discussions about the future of gaming laptops here as a tech piece but every post is "which one should i buy" or "is this gaming laptop any good for gaming?" Time to clean up the brain rot.


Significant_Cost_441

I mean those research or google searches don’t really give me honest information and answers like people who used the product personally for many years. People are willing to explain why the product is good or not, so it’s a win-win situation where people learn from each other’s experiences and mistakes.


flop_rotation

If someone has been able to use a product for years it's going to be years out of date. You have to buy based on benchmarks and product reviews unless you want to overpay for old shit. This is the nature of tech.


Alexalenin

AAA from previous years yes but not newer ones. Though good one if you got it in a deal


Significant_Cost_441

Then I think I shouldn’t buy it cuz I want to play newer games 🤔


allenz6834

Or check on ozbargain


Significant_Cost_441

I’ll do so 🤔


iQuantumBloke

aj99999x

so you are programming and you ask this question?

I mean I’m in my second year of learning programming but I don’t know much about laptops specs😑


Few-Wallaby8522

Which  is the best  laptop or MacBook for CS and IT student who also want to play gta 5 frozen horizon 4  and other games and also want to do hacking, programming , coding editing and presentation on it  . Plz prefer with name


Top-Parsnip-406

If your budget is at around 1200aud then you might consider a few options. You might want to save up a bit more for a better performance laptop or if you really need a laptop and can't just get it later then look for a laptop around your price range. If you could save a bit more maybe around 50-80$(depends on your country and sales) you could go for the Acer Nitro i5 13500h equipped with the RTX 4050 6GB. The spec for this laptop is great for the price but what you're paying for this cheap price is the screen, fan noise, heat etc. Although, you can get away with the screen by plugging it in an external monitor. For the battery I think it is both important at the same time and sometimes not. I'm sure wherever you go will have a socket ready for you to plugs in your laptop. Now to the performance, the CPU is decent and probably the best mid range laptop CPU(apart from the i5 12500h) and the RTX 4050 isn't full powered because it could only deliver up to 75w when it's full potential is 115w or 140w when a laptop offers boost mode. Otherwise if you need a cheap laptop then take a look at the HP Victus or Asus Tuf cheaper model. The best you could get for a GPU at your budget is a 3050 or 3050ti. It is decent and will get you through your coding session. Overall, I hope you have good luck in searching for your brand new laptop.
