Not sure when this trend started (also not sure if this is a case with desktop GPUs) but it's annoying how not all GPUs these days are the same, even if the name makes you think they are. Like there's various watts of 3060s but there's nothing that distinguishes in the product name like there is say for a 3060 vs 3070 or a 3060 vs a 3060ti; you can distinguish which one is more powerful. But now, you don't know HOW powerful your GPU is because you could have a 70 watt 3060 or a 115 watt 3060.

Your choice, but please make an educated decision. The Lenovo Gaming 3 with 5600H and 3050ti will likely perform better for less money while running much cooler and comes with a better screen.
I'm on my 3rd Nitro 5. First one arrived yesterday with two dead pixels... Ordered another one for $730 yesterday already. It arrives tomorrow...
The third one I just ordered for 600 bucks a few minutes ago. Why didn't I call to get the difference? I mean, Walmart is terrible at adjusting prices down after the fact. I speak from experience. They claim prices change all the time and refuse to price match their own prices even within the return period. It's just gross customer service. I won't even waste my time.
I'm starting to wonder what kind of pricing we'll see during BF deals... Might have to return the Nitro 5 after all if something better pops up until Jan 31st.
iwheela
The 2GB VRAM difference and a buttload less CUDA cores from the 3050 Ti is another consideration You'll definitely have to turn settings down (shadows textures fidelity etc) on the 3050 Ti in order to maintain steady frame rates compared to the 3060. IMHO the 3060 is the way to go.
I bought this again for $599 and will return the $729 one (30-day return window expires in 2 days for me)

Can't believe I am going to get the 3060 version for only $100 more albeit with 8 gb memory. I think I'm gonna swap her 16 for mine. Hey, I paid for it! She only plays roblox anyway.

I just need to get some 2x16GB RAM to unleash its full potential. It's a shame this didn't come with dual channel / dual sticks.
