A couple of notes:
Comes with 8GB of RAM and you can add another 8GB DDR4 DIMM to upgrade to 16GB.
Has HDMI and Ethernet, but no DisplayPort, even through USB-C.

Doing some research, the Lenovo laptops seem to have an issue with the display hinges breaking. And it's not clear if this 2021 model has improved hinges. The Asus Tuf model has met "MIL-STD-810H standards" for drop testing which makes me a little more confident in the build quality.
At this price range there are compromises made on every laptop. But, for now I think I'll stick with the Asus Tuf.

So I suspect this will work if you need/want 32GB

Nm you want a single 32GB stick
Only keeping one though, whichever is the best one without any problems or dead pixels. Got lucky to purchase one at $600 today. Not looking forward to going to a Walmart store to return 2 of them...
Got one of the 3050 Ti from OP at $550 here just in case. It's already ready for pickup. I'll post the benchmarks tomorrow or the next days comparing both straight out of the box after updating Windows and drivers.
Edit: it was 7 laptops…

I found out the hard way while returning an item which didn't have software support I needed. I paid the restocking fee, and closed my BestBuy account. I'll be shopping with Amazon/CostCo instead.

Not going to find a 3050ti cheaper.
Much better than the hp victus @ $475
