Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I needed a portable and lightweight computer for school because I frequently travel from one city to another in search of lucrative ones, and I'll be using it for everything from working with the compass and Microsoft Visio to making abstracts and presentations for the distance learning system (openedu, etc.) and feeding my soul (playing with new toys with ray tracing turned off). To illustrate why I was so taken aback by the laptop's performance, which I had assumed would worsen even as it improved, consider the following. In terms of setbacks: Even though I'm using a 2k monitor, many games and programs still deliver far greater frames per second on my computer's 1660supper.
However, when DLSS is activated, the frame rate (1080p) on the laptop is brought up to par with that of the desktop. Keep in mind that the 3050ti is a laptop version, thus it is scaled down a bit to fit into a smaller space. Cyberpunk 2077 with tracing, Forza 5, and Metro Exodus all run at 60 frames per second or more on ultra settings without DLSS enabled. For him, it's like a browser, therefore I don't talk about them (I don't do any work on rendering, etc.).

Pros

All such versions cost 10–20% more than what I paid for mine, but it still has a powerful, small, gorgeous design (subjectively, of course, as the taste and color of all felt-tip pens are different). I've had no problems in the past six months of using it.

Cons

There is no OS (although "+" may be used in some circumstances). You'll need to do some digging on YouTube and the official website to find out how to install all the drivers, so not everything is straightforward right after you turn on the machine. I couldn't install Windows because there was nowhere to download it, so I had to dig around on the solid-state drive (ssd) to find the necessary drivers (and that was pretty much it). spent a day looking for answers; I'm not tech-savvy, but following the videos' step-by-step instructions made even me successful (you'll need a flash drive and another computer to get the necessary drivers). Next, I set up the ssd and installed Windows and all the necessary drivers (I had trouble with Wi-Fi for a few days; I've long since forgotten why); in general, the laptop won't function properly until all drivers are downloaded and installed from the manufacturer's website (I'm warning you). The video card driver eventually disappeared as I used it; I saved a copy of it to my desktop in case I ever needed it again after experiencing a sudden drop in frame rate while playing a video game due to the laptop switching to its integrated graphics. But I knew all there was to know about it before I bought it (and I know that all of this is easily overlooked because of the price) I paid $70; had I ordered a couple of months earlier, I would have paid $55 (whereas competitors' prices began at $85).
