Hello everyone, my first post here,, looking to buy a laptop mainly for college work, some light-to-moderate graphic design on the side (Photoshop, etc.), and decent gaming like GTA V and similar titles.
So I've come across ASUS GAMING V16
Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 4050.
RAM: 16GB DDR5.
Storage: 512GB SSD.
Display: 16-inch, 144Hz.
Weight: around 1.95 kg.
The i5/Core 5 variant is around 83k and the i7/Core 7 is around 93k in Indian rupee.
Since I won’t be doing heavy multitasking or long CPU-heavy work, I’m leaning toward the i5 because the GPU seems to matter more for my use case and the 10k difference feels hard to justify. My only concerns are the 1.95 kg weight, battery life, and whether the cooling/TGP is actually good enough for the RTX 4050 to perform well long term. Any suggestions on whether the i5 is the smarter buy, or any drawbacks of this model I should know before finalizing?
If anyone has this then please advise me if it is a good buy?
Thanks
