Is this laptop worth 643 dollars for a student

It’s okay, but the screen quality isn’t great. I own a similar model with an i3 processor

22

I have an Ideapad and it has multiple issues like broken WiFi, Bluetooth, and HDMI

23

I would not recommend it

24

No, it’s not worth it

25

It seems too expensive for what it offers

26

With this budget, you could get better performance with a newer RTX 4050 and Intel i5 13th gen. This model is overpriced for its specs

These specs are actually good for college use and light gaming. Not everyone needs a high-end graphics card

The performance is limited, even simple games can cause overheating. For system science work, it’s fine, but for gaming, it struggles

Reducing graphic settings can help with the heat. It’s about managing expectations with integrated graphics

@Blake
True, but even with low settings, some games are unplayable due to the weak cooling system

@Blake
My experience with integrated graphics has been poor. That’s why I’m planning to upgrade to a better GPU

Finding a good balance between price and build quality is important. Just focusing on specs might lead to disappointment in other areas like durability

This model would have been impressive a decade ago, but not today
