Shopped around Locally and came up with a whole bunch of options for a budget gaming Laptop. Not sure to go for brand new or lightly used/open box with much better specs. (Preferrably with minimum RGB/Gaming looks)

 

New:

 

Lenovo 81LK01MTUS. GTX 1650 512GB SSD 8GB Ram (only one slot)

 

Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit Keyboard, Alexa Built-in, AN515-54-5812

 

Asus TUF 15.6-inch FHD Gaming Laptop, AMD Quad Core Ryzen 5 3550H Processor, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 4GB Graphics, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB Solid State Drive, RGB Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 Home, Black

 

HP pavillon 15-dk0056wm  

  • Processor: 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-9300H
  • Display: 15.6-inch diagonal FHD, IPS, anti-glare, micro-edge, WLED-backlit
  • Memory: 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB)
  • Internal storage: 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD
  • Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 (4 GB GDDR5 dedicated)

 

Lightly used/open box

 

MSI GS65 1920x1080 144hz GTX 1070 i7-8750H 512gb SSD 16 Gb Ram (The thin factor is not a + for me i won't be running around with it all that much)

 

ASUS TUF FA506IV-BR7N12 with an RTX 2060 512gb SSD AmD Ryzen 4800H 

 

Acer Predator

  • 9th Generation Intel Core i7-9750H 6-Core Processor (Upto 4. 5 gramHz) with Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Graphics with 6 GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM
  • 15. 6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen LED-backlit IPS display (144Hz Refresh Rate, 3ms Overdrive Response Time, 300nit Brightness & 72% NTSC)
  • 16 GB DDR4 2666MHz Memory, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD (2 x PCIe M. 2 Slots | 1 Slot Open for Easy Upgrades) & 1 - Available Hard Drive Bay

 

There's a risk with used/"open box" Stuff that I'll have to weigh against better specs.

Not all of these are the same price so if you think some of these are worth more than others it would be really nice to know just how much of a premium you think its worth. Thank you.

Professional Opinion: I wouldn't buy an HP product if you gave me the money to buy it with. They are total garbage barely built to hold together until the warranty runs out.

Personal Opinion: Lenovo are untrustworthy. Google Superfish for a prime reason.

 

The others I have no opinion on, other than I've been a fan of Asus products in the past.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.
