Good morning. I’m looking for recommendations for a gaming laptop. Something cheap, up to around 5000 reais. New or used. That can run most games at least on medium. I’m excluding the Nitro 5 because, from what I’ve read, it heats up a lot. If anyone has any good recommendations, I’m open to them.
Gaming laptop with a 120Hz screen or higher
Alienware 16 Aurora on Dell’s website starts at 6k and up
Or
Lenovo LOQ or LOQ-e (essential) – the difference is that the version with (e) at the end is cheaper and has simpler build materials, I think.
You can find it with an RTX 4050 6GB for 4.5k; the price varies depending on the configuration.
I think every laptop with a dedicated GPU is going to run hot
Anyway
Laptops with integrated graphics have some options, but most of them have 60Hz screens.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB, 512GB SSD, 14" OLED screen with Intel Arc, 4.4k at Fast Shop
There’s also the Ultra 7 version which is a bit faster.
IdeaPad Slim 3 AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS 16GB 512GB SSD with Radeon 680M for 3k or less than that
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 16GB 512GB SSD with Radeon 860M for 5.1k
Intel Arc can even run some games well, but it lacks optimization.
Radeon has better compatibility overall.
