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

Ohh, didn't know that. LOL guess I'll be waiting for the next Gen usb c. You saved me some mula haha
can someone with personal experience/knowledge chime in how this is for gaming? light/medium/heavy gaming?
thanks
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?
Have had horrible experiences with best buy open box items. One tv I got had a Crack dead on arrival. Was listed as excellent condition & I also got a 4k player that was also listed excellent and was missing the remote. Ever since i said forget it

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.
