looking for a budget gaming laptop (RTX 3050 vs GTX 1660)

[Wilkesy`]

Hello, I am looking for a gaming laptop. I saw a deal for the newer Dell G15 with the newer RTX 3050 if this is a good starter gaming laptop: https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/gam...tjTtk2tg6JcLv5wrXyzls5vqkmWfwfRGeIc2FFhykUCIT



Others I have seen contain the GPU GTX 1660 if this is a better Graphics Card.



Also just out of the box, I have seen this legion too with the RTX 2060 which is supposed to be outstanding for gaming, but is the laptop too outdated now for that price: https://www.******.com/1262498-leno...-8gb-256gb-ssd-rtx-2060-15-6-win10-81sx0027uk

2060 is faster than either of the 1660 or 3050, but possibly missing some new features?

Might be worth checking out the OCUK B Grade section as well, see if there's anything close to budget and send over an offer (there's an Asus with a 2070 super which would be faster than the options you've listed)

As per this thread, you still get at least a year warranty on most of them - I picked up a B Grade Asus a few months ago and it was basically brand new, with ~18 months left on the warranty
