Hi sifuss. I am looking for a new laptop for running data (ETL) and light gaming. I have shortlisted a few models. Which model would be better choice? Any model has heating issue?

2) Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 82K200AXMJ (RM3900+) R5 5600H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, RTX3050
3) Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 82K10150MJ (RM3600+) i5-11300H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, GTX1650
4) Dell G15 5515 (RM3800+) Ryzen 5 5600H, 8GB, 512GB SSD, RTX 3050

QUOTE(overfloe @ Jan 28 2022, 09:26 AM) Skip no. 3 as it only has 4 cores. Whichever laptop you choose, add another matching RAM to make it run 2x8 dual channel. ETL will benefit with good cpu+ram+ssd. Out of the four you listed, the G15 has the highest TGP at 95w, so slight advantage compared to the others when it comes into gaming. Thanks for your advice! Really helpful.

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Jan 28 2022, 08:50 PM) budget? wait time? every laptop can overheat if pushed to max, just that some do better than others Budget is below 4k. I can wait for 1-2 months. I understand that the overheating on laptop, but as long as it is not too hot until I can fell it on my palm. Any recommendation? I wonder the 2021 Nitro 5 has any quality issue as I found many complaint about the hinge broken. This post has been edited by EasySkyJumper: Feb 11 2022, 02:54 PM

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 11 2022, 07:01 PM) some models are hot outside but cool inside, while some are the opposite - which way do u prefer? (of course personally i will prioritize CPU+GPU temps) I also prioritise CPU & GPU temperature.

QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Feb 12 2022, 02:06 PM) Thanks for the recommendations. Is it more value for money if it is GTX1650 model? I don't need high setting on graphic as long as it can play smoothly.
