At first glance, this just seems like a slightly worse version of the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 that Best Buy is currently selling for $550 https://slickdeals.net/f/16124230-lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3-laptop-15-6-1080p-ryzen-5-5600h-8gb-ram-rtx-3050-ti-550-free-shipping as this has a very, very slightly better CPU. but a slightly worse GPU for $50 extra. The big difference, however, is that this version comes with a 170W AC adapter as noted here: https://smile.amazon.com/ask/ques...pmw_al_hza This is actually a pretty big deal as these laptops need significantly more than 135W at max settings (which is what the Best Buy version's charger supplies) and the 170W chargers can cost between $70 and $90 from Lenovo. This is definitely worth some consideration if you're interested in the Best Buy Lenovo imo.
My strategy has been to buy one now and return it if a better one comes up later. The Walmart rtx 3060 for $600 that sold out in 2 hrs could come back as a BF door buster.

I'm considering multiple gaming laptops for the kids. My (possible) budget is $600 max per computer.
Do you think there are better deals or is this the best my money can buy?

My strategy has been to buy one now and return it if a better one comes up later. The Walmart rtx 3060 for $600 that sold out in 2 hrs could come back as a BF door buster.

For a kids gaming computer, the $429 Lenovo is the winner so far https://slickdeals.net/f/16121902-lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3-15-6-fhd-ips-120hz-i5-11300h-gtx-1650-8gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-429-99

Hopefully, there will be other $429 gaming computers available beyond MicroCenter coming soon.

I'm getting conflicting info about returning laptops to Amazon. In some places they say no returns. In other places they mention a restocking fee.
Do you have any experience with that?

With the 6000 series AMD chip, the integrated graphics from the onboard 6600m are just as powerful if not more than the Nvidia 3050 no? What's the point of the discrete 3050?
