I'm currently using TUF Gaming. The screen is the biggest advantage you would get, so I would suggest going for Asus. Additionally, it comes with a custom LED backlit keyboard.

Had them all and even in 2023 the 4600h wipes a 10500h every day of the week. TBH even though I now have a 12700h the difference in the real world is hardly noticeable but I wish I still had the 4600h for its far superior battery life.

Which one i should buy Lenevo Legion 5 4600H Or Ideapad gaming 3 5600H ( same price) My requirements are video editing and a little bit of gaming. Donโ€™t recommend the hp pavilion I hate that violet theme. Pls help me

In video editing wise you won't notice the particular difference with Adobe Premier between 4600H and 5600H. The difference is noticeable with Davinci Resolve, however, decoding and so on. Games don't seem to have significant advantages though. Still, Legion looks better, but as you mentioned gaming will have less priority and they're the same price, go with an Ideapad Gaming 3. Buying older Legion would make sense by being cheaper and/or because of aesthetics. And don't worry, Ideapad Gaming 3 RAM can be upgraded to the same level as Legion, despite Lenovo's claims. ;) Make sure to get the Ideapad 165Hz panel though as it has more accurate colors. Doesn't matter if you don't care or use an external monitor dedicated to photos/videos, meaning color accuracy and factory calibration.

Friendly, Hello again. Additional note - Ideapad Gaming 3 has models with power restrictions on GPUs, not so much on the Legion series. To find out if that's the case, search on Google for laptops product ID and PSREF, for example, 82JU008CMH PSREF. When the page is opened, look for TGP wattage. 3060 laptop GPU model goes up to 130W usually. Ideapad Gaming is usually 60-115W. Check before buying and compare prices.

Legion 5 has a better cooling mechanism, whereas hp victus gives you a little bit more performance as compared to legion 5.

Obviously 5600h is better than 4600h but 4600h provides value for money in most of the laptops๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜€
