Affordable laptop

[CreeperH5]

I discovered this laptop while on the hunt for one that can do light gaming and light college work for virtual box and such. Is this worth the price?http://MSI GL65 Gaming Laptop: 15.6" Display, Intel Core i5-10300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, Win10, Black (10SCXK-211) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0912CGY5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_C8WQPHDCQHDCQ5QB09XX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has cooling issues don't get it. Battery life is also pretty meh. At most 4 hours. Screen sucks too. Just don't get it.

Honestly that's about par with the one I have now, the one I use has integrated graphics and a amd A6 so it doesn't do much

What are you saying? I don't understand what you mean here? Are you saying that lenovo performs the same as your a6 laptop? That lenovo is already extremely better than the msi you suggested and is dozens of times more powerful than a amd a6 laptop.

Ok. So get the lenovo still it's A LOT better than the msi in every way including battery life.

 

if this is about your old amd laptop having bad battery thus this new amd laptop must have bad battery life too. That is not how it works. Things chance technology moves forward and amd is far more efficient than intel.

Alright, is there any other sorts of brands you can recommend?

No. I can never recommend a brand only the individual product as all can have garbage and good products.

 

But first what even is your budget? I can't recommend a laptop without that. The lenovo legion 5 is the best 1000-1100$ laptop on the market and there is really no challenger in that price range worthy of consideration besides that laptop.
