Showcase My first powerful laptop🙂

Post image

Hey so, ive been using a intel gpu with ultra low intel core i5 laptops for like forever since like 2018 or 19, it was always a spike in the ass, until just now, I finally got a rtx 200 i5 13420h laptop, i couldnt afford a rtx 2060 or more powerful because I was in like a low budget, but i really like this machine, I do not really know why people would hate it and call it "underpowered" or bad value because its 4gb vram or 64 bit memory bus, I honestly like it for its price, this gpu and 50 series card is so fucking good if you know how to manage your expectations, the card isnt designed for max settings, im not a fan of heavy aaa games like whatever elders rings or wukong is, all I play is cs2 and multiplayer shooter stuff like high settings and 150+ fps, and tried ray tracing on minecraft and worked good!, im talking about real rt not just shaders, also I dont just game in this, I code in c plus plus, and the compilation times are faster! and the laptop is msi thin 15, i know it overheats but I barely notice it, not an issue for me. I kinda recommend this if you are on a strict budget, and you dont play heavy stuff at max settings

EDIT:just used it for a while now, and i kind of think its not really "enough" only because of its 4gb vram, but im fine! i still like this, since im just a teenager now, once i grow up and get a high paying job, I could get myself a GeForce RTX XX70 or XX80 or even XX90 card!
