Whats your budget? 

 

I think that thing has a cooling issue, so coding will be fine but gaming will make it throttle.

Around 500-600$ but things here are a bit more expensive than in the US.

For that price it looks good, do you have any ryzen options? Also if you do get this, I suggest getting a warranty on it and undervolt both CPU and GPU.

All the Ryzen options in this price range are with shittier GPUs, Radeon 535/540

thanks for pointing out the warranty, there was no warranty on the laptop, just the 1 year that asus provides. That speaks a lot for the reliability of the laptop... Not gonna buy it
