Asus tuf or lenevo legion

[hornetstinger]

I'm returning the vivobook due to inability to add data drive.

I will do some gaming like supreme commander and forged alliance.

I have 10% lenevo code and through work I get high street pc retailer and the other high street catalogue.

I'd like ryzen 7 octo core
At least 8gb ram
512gb nvme
Ideally ability to fit 2.5" HDD
Backlit keys
Good screen
15" or 17"

Max £1000

What laptop is required for war thunder, world of tanks/ships and supreme commander? Will the £1000 legion be ok?

The Legion 5 with the 3060 would be a good shout. Or the Legion 5 with the 3070 is £1,300 which will come in at £1,170 if you can stretch to that. It comes with a slightly higher refresh, brighter screen than the 3060 model. Or the 3060 model can be had with the 165 Hz screen for £1,200 before discounts.

What about 82B5000CUK
That's under £800

I'm just not sure whether to splash out or just get one that is good enough I do gaming but not much and I've got gaming desktop granted its older with xeon ATI rx470 , I don't have much time for games anyway.

However the slightly better spec of the 82B5000CUK means it has dedicated graphics lots more usb ports, I presume ability to add ram or another sad , rj45 port etc
Compared to the vivobook m514 which tbh was impressive..octo core Ryzen 8gb, Vega, ips.

Just would be nice having steam installed to play Borderlands etc I presume vivobook won't be as good compared to legion
