Confused me so much haha. So I meant "I think Best BUy made a typo" not that Dr. W did. I can't find any evidence a Ryzen 7445HS exists anywhere. Like that number doesn't mean anything.

So weird, I literally cannot find this processor anywhere else... Like AMD's list of Ryzen 7 laptop chips doesn't include it, google just gives me results for a Dell 7445 model with a Ryzen (the laptop model is 7445 not the chip).
So maybe Bestbuy doesn't have the typo, maybe HP does?

Interestingly, https://support.hp.com/us-en/docu...1678592-16
"NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated)
NOTE: Only on models configured with AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845H, Ryzen™ 7 8845HS, or Ryzen™ 5 8645HS processor."

So I don't think this is a bad system for someone wanting to do game dev depending on what they are interested in doing. The GPU probably won't be the annoying part for game dev imo, it will be the mystery processor we are all discussing lol. Build times for projects can get pretty rough without a great CPU behind it in programming as complexity increases. I mean if we are talking about someone new to coding whose projects are likely to be smaller if nothing else this is a great laptop to find out "do you really like it? No? okay you have a decent laptop then" without going crazy on cost.
I will say though I would personally rather get the Best BUy Asus that is posted here on SD, the open box with a 3050. You trade a slower GPU (same ram) for a MUCH faster processor (almost certainly) and a very bright screen that has good color accuracy and a much better build quality which matters for adults, but really matters for kids.
