I was looking for the same thing, but I found out that USB C PD really isn't helpful with gaming laptops as max wattage through USB C is under 100W at the moment. Meaning if using USB C charging while gaming, you will still use the battery. Something to look into Also this could change with USB C generations, or I could be totally mistaken lol

I'm not going to be able to answer your question directly, but it may help you get the info you seek if you specify what you mean by light/medium/heavy gaming?
Minecraft? Minecraft with HD mods? GTA V? Newest AAA games from the last 6 months? What resolution are you looking to run whilst gaming?

Lenovo does have the advantage of having a low profile power adapter that you can purchase however. I have the Dell G15 with the 3050ti and the powerbrick is massive, especially when traveling.

Had this, 4 core 11th gen i5 is not great, returned it after lots of different laptops (7 total, I'm crazy, I know)! Great deal though and I guess that CPU does pair well with a 3050.

Polar opposite experience here, 3 open box laptops, all three like new, 2 out of three came in original box and appeared to be opened once and then put back in. These were all open box excellent however, not sure which ones you purchased.

I meant to say the laptop is it good for light gaming or medium or heavy. I want to get this for my kid and he is mostly in to minecraft with mods, roblox etc and i am guessing he will shift to some of the newer games.

Resolution shouldnt matter as i plan on hooking it up to an external monitor

thank you
