Great Budget GPU for 1080p60

EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 04G-P4-1357-KR, 4GB GDDR6, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate
EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 04G-P4-1357-KR, 4GB GDDR6, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate

Pros: Low power requirement, Dual Fan, not too big, easy to OC, quiet under load, handles most games at 1080p 60+.

Cons: Not knocking an egg for this as I wasn't originally looking for a new monitor, but NVIDIA cards only allow variable refresh rates over Display Port. If I was I was also getting a cheap 75 HZ monitor with Freesync, I would have instead gone with an AMD equivalent card such as the RX 5500 XT 4GB (or 8GB), which allows variable refresh rates over HDMI.

Overall Review: I'm not a heavy PC gamer but I like having a capable PC for 1080p 60. If you're looking for a cheaper card to get started or if you're upgrading from something like a GTX 660 (me) and not looking to break the bank, this is a good one. A lot of reviews will compare this to the RX 580 and that is also a great card! However, you need way more power for it. For extra headroom for PCI-e slots and overclocking, this is a good card. Able to get +150 MHz on the GPU clock and +1000 MHz A good equivalent to this card is the RX 5500 XT 4gb (pricewise)

Not perfect, but good if you can live without extras.

Pros: - Not too bulky/ heavy - keyboard is actually great - touchpad is also great, has a function key to disable it if necessary - plenty of ports, usb c if you need it

Cons: - Keys leave a scratch line on the screen. It's disappointing as hell but not a dealbreaker for me. - No indicator lights for caps lock, num lock, etc - keyboard not backlit - Windows 10 product key not provided - screen isn't the best looking, needs color calibration imo - Qualcomm wifi card has compatibility issues with Linux (if you're into that)

Overall Review: I would recommend this if its on sale, its a great budget laptop with decent performance. Look at my cons list for possible dealbreakers. I took off one egg for the screen scratch.
