Looking For Help (Laptop)

So overall this laptop ain’t going to be used for any hardcore gaming purposes, simply something for on the go video watching, business calling utilizing webcam, and occasionally some minor gaming. P.S. this isn’t for me for someone else that doesn’t use laptops much.

I am helping search for something for them in their budget of less than $1000 but preferably much cheaper. The above two laptops I have selected 1 they have i7 intels and I cannot stand i5s, never have I ever had one last more then 3 yrs and whenever I get an i7 combo’d with a nice GPU from Nvidia I get 10+ yrs out of it. I don’t know much about PCs/Laptops but if I can get some help and/or new suggestions let me know. I noticed the Pro laptop is using an intel xe GPU I have no clue how they are and I am 100% positive the 3050 is way better but I also noticed many other things better on the pro laptop so let me know what you all think :smiley:

I do prefer something from either MSI or Razer but probably not Razer as they have nothing in budget unless some uber July 4th deal is out so probably MSI only please.

Thank You

All 3 similar pricing, if anyone has any idea which is better let me know, if you have other suggestions please share will be deciding this week :smiley: Thank you

Decent but you can find one with a 4060 for the same price. For your budget id focus on a 4060. 1k for a 4050 laptop is over priced imo

$998 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233559

$1029 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834156431

Going from the listed 1029 4060 similar stats for a 4050 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-cyborg-15-6-144hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4050-with-8gb-ram-and-512gb-ssd-black/6532163.p?skuId=6532163 for 799… But I assume the 8GB ram is the issue? I also noticed they’re i5 intels.

Still LF some more suggestions, and if anyone can check the above 5 and tell me what would be the best for my $$$ much appreciated.

Going to also LF help on reddit and such now but if anyone got any replies please post below will check later today and tomorrow but will be making a decision then.

it’s hard to find a 12th gen intel with 16 gb of ram and a discrete card for under $1k…

Last bump taking any replies today been using other forums as well so got an idea now.

Most have said the Summit is overall the best laptop besides the GPU being intel XE everything else on the Summit beats the other 4, and the fact the laptop wont be used for gaming the Intel XE should be perfectly fine then if that is the case. But still taking suggestions!
