    The CPU is a pretty good one, the GPU is on the weaker side. You can run plenty of games on it, but AAA games wont run very well. This thing isnt very old and AMD GPUs are well supported by linux drivers so there shouldnt be an issue there.

      I heard the GPU is comparable to RTX 30series laptop which is 3X the price of this laptop and also nice to have good driver supporting :D

        comparable to RTX 30series

        That sadly doesnt mean anything. That would range from 3050 to 3090 so its meaningless.

        According to userbenchmarks, the more powerful desktop version of the RX 5500 is still weaker than a Nvidia 3050. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3050-vs-AMD-RX-5500/4127vs4059

        So its pretty weak, comparable to a Nvidia 1060 roughly. Which is still fine for 2D games and most 3D games at low settings.

          I’m not really sure, but wasn’t userbenchmark biased in favor of nvidia gpu?

          In any case, I agree that an rx5500 is on the weaker side, so don’t expect much, but it shouldn’t be a lot worse than an rtx3050 (i’m not an expert tho)

            Yeah there was something there but its still in the right league at least. It might change the ranking slightly but it wont change that its at the low end.

              Yup, no doubts there.

              Anyway, OP, if I were you I’d buy that laptop (not for gaming tho, or at least not if you’re looking for something more than “good enough”)
