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?

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?

The 6600m is a discrete GPU which is completely different from the 6600h's integrated GPU, the Radeon 660m: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD...879.0.html

6600m and 660m are totally different, 660m is not comparable to the rtx 3050 which is way more powerful, 6600m is not an igpu 660m is

Excellent point!!

I have the Best Buy version with 135w AC adapter and when playing Forza Horizon 5, the battery will drain at a rate where I'll get about 4 or so hours while plugged in. When not gaming, the AC adapter is enough to power the machine, no issues.

170w did improve this, but it still drains while gaming plugged in ($30 Amazon [amazon.com]). I don't know how, maybe the adapter isn't legit?? I need to investigate more or step up to a 230w AC adapter, but I haven't made that investment yet to test.

I don't really plan (or have the stamina, lol) to game more than 4 hours at a time, so wondering if I wanna spend $100 on a legit/well reviewed 230w adapter.

Notes:
  • I added RAM (16GB total) and an additional SSD (2.25TB total) to my laptop, so It uses slightly more wattage than the stock version.
  • Both laptop GPUs, though different models, have a TGP of 85w at full power. Same goes for CPUs, at a TDP of 45w each.

A non-AC adapter note: I want to say that I absolutely adore this laptop for its keyboard. It has my favorite feel and layout with a number pad, full size arrow keys, and full size shift button. As someone who uses Word and Excel a lot, I really appreciate this keyboard. It's to the point where I won't even consider a laptop without a similar layout because of the negative typing experience I'm going to have. A++ for this laptop in this category.
