Eh, I guess you could buy the laptop, but if I were you, I would not have looked for any gaming laptop, because gaming is a giant waste of time and money. I’d simply buy an older used ThinkPad with a Ryzen 5 5650U or a similar Zen 3 APU for way less money than that, or an HP EliteBook 8xx series with a similar APU.

Not really my money so I don’t care I just have a set budget. Dad just offered to buy me one for uni
With that much money, you probably could build a competent PC that has similar power, but less upgrade scale

I’m just looking for a laptop, no pc possible here. What would you suggest?
@Shannon
The laptop is not bad, but if you want better gaming experiences, I would advise against the ideapad as its build quality will not hold up well in the long term, since budget build materials typically break fast. I would recommend looking into higher quality gaming laptops, but you have to consider your budget

Not many other options around my budget range, I’m keeping it under 1000

It should last you with moderate care, but keep in mind its build materials will affect longevity. Proper care and regular maintenance (cleaning, changing thermal paste) will help extend its lifespan. Otherwise, it’s a good option, with adequate performance for gaming at moderate settings.
