The prices are in cad i want a laptop I can play games on bring to school and do a bit of fusion will the Lenovo 3050 be a big step down from the vivobook? If anyone finds anything better I’d love to know
Get the ASUS, but get it from another website. With Amazon you might become the next victim of a return scam. I can’t recommend Lenovos anymore after that warranty repair nightmare I had last month. After I posted about it, others came to me with their nightmares as well. Multiple failed repairs, and all the laptop needed was a new monitor 9 months in. They use that sweatshop named CSAT Solutions in Houston, TX for the depot repairs.

Thank you so much I’ll get it from asus themselves I completely forgot about that happening
@Remington

If you want to risk it. A video of you opening it yourself will only help you with a potential chargeback with your bank. Amazon won’t look at your evidence. Seen way too many people complaining about it in the Amazon sub…
@Remington
IDK about the OP’s region, but here in India(maybe only in my region) buying anything other than Dell, Samsung or Apple is like no support. I heard reviews that lenovo service was bad but my friend’s screen was replaced with doorstep delivery, so maybe the condition is better. Asus and Acer service is almost non-existent.
@Ollie
The on-site tech messed up the machine even more during the repairs at my house. Not that it was the tech’s problem. Lenovo kept sending him parts for the monitor, even though it really wasn’t designed to be taken apart. He turned a monitor that was originally just displaying weird colors into a useless piece of trash by cracking the entire display. On the second repair, he couldn’t assemble the new monitor assembly properly with some parts transplanted from the old monitor.
@Remington
I saw this and honestly I was wondering if you have replaced that monitor yourself along with whatever other problems unfolded?

Nope. The device is 9 months old and is in warranty. While I do technician work, I don’t work on in-warranty stuff unless the company is paying me. I like to be paid for my work. Edit: I’m not going to go mess up an in-warranty device. While I do sometimes do this line of work, it doesn’t mean I don’t make occasionally make mistakes and screw things up. I don’t touch in-warranty devices, I let the manufacturer handle the repairs/replacements for that.
Asus
The first one is better in every way besides the CPU, though they are similar. Unless you need marginally better CPU performance go with the first one.

I’m pretty new to computers and performance hardware what would i need the ryzen for
@Akira
They are both mid-high tier laptop chips. Neither is bad but technically the Intel one is slower. I doubt you’d notice the difference
If you play any demanding games I’d suggest looking for a laptop with a better GPU? Maybe something with an older-gen CPU to find a deal

Plus, it should at least have a core ultra 9 in it.
None of them
Don’t get the lenovo. I have the same version but a 13 inch and overheating is a nightmare. I sent it to the repair shop and they sent it back - within 3 days it started overheating again. Just a waste of money.
