I agree. Great deal! Only thing, 144hz seems unnecessary for a 3050 Ti. Save a bit and put a 120hz while increasing the screen brightness or color accuracy.

"USB Type-C Port Supporting: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps), DisplayPort over USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, USB charging 5 V; 3 A".
This is confusing, is their TB4 speed only 10Gb instead of 40Gb? Or is that 10Gb referring to the USB spec only.
Also does not support charging thru USB-C PD.

Nitro 5's, are these complete junk? Why does eBay consistently have thousands refurbished ones ready to sell? Seems like 1/2 the nitro 5's that get bought, end up breaking and getting repaired and resold as refurbished. Just a thought, seems there is way more Nitro 5 refurbished then any other models.

I have a nitro 5 that I love. It's been an amazing laptop that I played Destiny 2 on everyday.

Was hoping to find something with a 3060.. but only reasonably priced ones have older CPU. Hoping to be in around $800 mark.

I'm not a videophile by any means, mainly play Overwatch. I have a 3GB 1060 on my desktop that is more than adequate for anything I play.

You think I'd be fine with the 3050ti? I don't even care if it's medium-high settings, I don't need all the bells and whistles.

I'm in same boat as you, I think if we're patient we can get a good 3060 for $800 or less.
I think the 3050Ti would run Overwatch fine, but there is a pretty big difference.

That's the 17" model, but with 3050. Likely what you'd get in performance with this sale (see extensive games benchmark chart near the bottom).

Basically, at the 1080 resolution of the screen, it'll run almost anything fine.

Yeah, I may have to tell myself to be patient and wait a little longer. I'm sure an i7, 16gb, 3060 for $800 is not too big of a stretch in the near future.

I have 2020 model refurbished with AMD Ryzen 5 and GTX 1650 configuration. Display has a huge backlight bleeding and by design the laptop feels very cheap and ugly. Lately there are weird sudden freezings here and there but it might be the result of limited RAM that I have. Only thermals are pretty good. I got what I paid for.

I think I had same refurbished Nitro 5. Think I paid around $440 and came with a Nitro 4600. Mine lasted 4 months and motherboard went, wasn't worth it to replace, and warranty expired. Probably why I'm a bit harsh on these Nitro 5's. Least your's still workingSmilie
