I'm looking for laptop recommendations (and specials) that does not scream GaMiNg LaPtOp but still needs to be able to play the odd shooter or Diablo_4_waiting_patiently when I want to.

What fits into the budget spec wise are: <(R20k)
Ryzen 5
3050ti
16gb DDR4
14/15" FHD - some screens I see do 120hz

Asus TUF is out (WASD)

Is this the only real contender?

The Lenonva legion 5 is a great machine maybe just to expensive.

4 cell 70WH battery a big plus as well.

Horrific screen brightness at 240 - 300 Nits only. It is kind of useless the moment you step outside the door or if you in a properly lit room.

Although for the price, new, not too bad. I will still go demo / used though.
 
I'm actually looking to offload some eB, and they have this on sale.

Willing to make a deal when you can buy this (brand new in box) from me for R25K. It's a beast of a spec, looks great without being too flashy. PM if interested.

Don't know about that "deal", but the Zephyrus G14 and G15 are stunning notebooks.

That is quite nice and affordable, but it has Radeon graphics though, how is that compared to say the mobile 3050 ti?

Check on youtube for some reviews and comparisons. Check more than one. Check for the specific laptop as every notebook is different even though it might use the same specs. Problem with Notebooks are Thermals, and each manufacturers handles it differently.

I'm probably not going to do that, I'm not the OP or that interested :)

Was more just interested in the general trend of Radeon 8 cores vs 3050 ti

I've got a G14 - the model before this with 5800 + 3050 ti.

R25k is a bargain- take this if you can!

Understated too- not bad :p
