Im planning to get a LOQ 15IAX9 with a 3050 6gb and intel 12600HX/12450HX. Ive seen microless and other stores with decent enough prices but the laptop itself is in very low stock and I myself wont be going so I need to find a place with good prices that always has stock as to not annoy the people im sending to get the laptop.

I am planning to get a LOQ 15IAX9 3050 6GB core i5 12600HX/12450HX and 16gb ram/512ssd. Ive seen them go for around 2900 aed, but which stores are actually trusted and offer the best price for this model or just in general?

• Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: Buying from Dubai with a total budget of 2800 aed
• Are you open to refurbs/used? No.
• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? most important for me is performance and right after is build quality or battery/both are quite important
• How important is weight and thinness to you? Anything works but just not TOO thick or heavy
• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. N/A
• Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Gaming/school work. I wish to play cyberpunk and RDR2.
• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? RDR2 / Cyberpunk at medium setting 60fps, and other games at that range
• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Reliable build quality
• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I was thinking of getting a LOQ 15IAX9 with a 3050 and 16gb, but im not sure and the model itself is not really easy to find. I need long longevity with the laptop / 6 years to be exact

I was planning to get the neo cus i heard it had really good performance/bang for buck, but ive compared it with windows laptops that are even cheaper or on par in price and they are significantly better. I really want to run cyberpunk or rdr2 even if they are on lowest graphics, and the LOQ 15 can run it easily but im not sure about the neo. I also want the laptop to have long longevity (exatly 6 years) so i can use it for as long as i need it for school, and the neo is much better for studying i believe. what do i get?

Im planning to get a laptop for both school and gaming. At the start i was planning to get the macbook neo as i saw it had good performamce while being the best laptop possible for studying. The problem is that it compares really badly with others in the price range such as the HP Victus 15 with a 4060 for example as in performance, and the neo doesnt have any upgrade possibilities. On the other hand, i could get a windows gaming laptop getting basically 3x the performance, but i lose out on the build quality, portabilty and such. I am starting year 10 and im wishing for it to last with me the 6 years of 10 11 and 4 college, but i really need performance. what do i get?

Im planning to switch to macbook from my crappy old laptop but I wont be able to buy it until 2 months from now. Im asking this because ive seen that the A18 chips are "limited stock" or something along that line. so will the shortage of chips affect price? Im on a really tight budget and the Neo is literally my max.
