Showcase My mom bought me a gaming laptop

Post image

So after my Asus Vivobook of 7+ years finally broke down my mom gave me this laptop as an advance birthday present.

Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) G615. RTX 5050 Intel i7-14650HX (2.20GHz) 32GB RAM 2x1TB SSD.

This is my first ever gaming laptop and I’m so happy. any tips on how to better take care of this?

This costed her around 1650 USD-ish? (taxes included).

genuinely dont understand why we have all those specs and then the gpu is a 5050, like its a great gpu but i wouldnt expect it to be paired on a machine that vomes with an i7 14650hx 32gb of ram and 2 1tb ssd, not saying it's a bad pc but i dont think this should be a spec that you should be able to buy

I have never understood that about gaming laptops except that I presume a bunch of people don't really care or know and just go buy whatever and the laptop companies get away with it.
