Hey all,

Purchased this lenovo on sale

Lenovo LOQ 15.6" Gaming Laptop FHD AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS with 16GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB 512GB SSD Luna Grey 83JC0000US - Best Buy

There was an HP i liked but it was like $1300 so i passed on it

HP Victus 16.1" Gaming Laptop AMD Ryzen 7-8845HS 16GB DDR5 Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 512GB SSD Mica Silver 16-s1023dx - Best Buy

But now the HP is $899 with a 4070 instead of lenovo 4060. Looks llke the wattage for 4060 mobile is 105w vs 4070 115W.

Basically when i play 7 days to die my CPU is only averaging 30% to 40% but my GPU is at 100% all game.

I would have to get someone to cover the cost difference until i get this one returned if needed. Elder Scrolls online has some dips down to 70 fps every once in awhile but obviously very enjoyable. So is it worth it to go through the hassle of returning or just stick with what i have?

I would do it personally. The HP has a faster Zen4 based cpu and a faster GPU. I'd also prefer the slightly larger screen of the Victus.

Another vote for return it. Games are only going to get more demanding.

Seems like a perfect job for a credit card that you could just pay off when the bill comes.

Are you restricted by age or some other reason from using a card?
