No. That laptop makes no sense, 32 GB of RAM is overkill for a setup with no dedicated GPU.

I'd say a hard "no" on this one as well.

If you're shopping at Best Buy, check out the ASUS lineup. They've got two TUF Gaming laptops with an RTX 3050 available. One has a Ryzen 7 cpu and 8gb ram for $100 less than the one you posted. The other has an Intel chip as well as the 8gb of ram for less than that.

Either of those would be decent for gaming. That 1650 gpu is getting old at this point. I just upgraded my gaming laptop earlier this year from one with a 1050 gpu that I bought new in '18 and it struggled with a lot of games from then. That 1650 came along as low end like a year later and will probably have the same issues.

You'd probably be better off trying to see what you can find with a 3060. But it's their money I guess.

Good luck with whatever you get.

32gb RAM is under win11 the defacto Standard. Im more concerned about the ryzen in a Notebook. I heard a Lot negative about it. A and gaming.with the apu is possible but its crap. Get yourself a Laptop with discrete graphics.
