Im from canada and will be playing d2r and ark survival mostly
So far im liking these 2
And im wondering if they are good choice, if not what else should i get
I dont wanna go over 1500$ cad before taxes

Thanks

First option and my favorite
I dont mind spending the extra 200$ for a better cpu 8gb extra ram and 1tb ssd

The Lenovo would do it, would just buy a 16gb RAM kit and swap, maybe another 512gb SSD for extra storage. Would only cost you about $120-150 cad.

If you're not comfortable swapping parts out, i'd go with this one; https://www.newegg.ca/black-gigabyte-a5-x1-cus2130sb-gaming/p/N82E16834233509

Upgrade from the other Gigabyte linked and less money. Still only 512gb SSD but definitely enough to do what you want.

gl!

I'd wait till the end of the summer or maybe even fall because chip prices are projected to crash with the next gen product releases beginning in august and being overstocked on current gen.

current projections show the golden time to buy will be June-August 2037

For some reason the gigabyte is at 1200 ... same price of the lenovo it looks like a very good deal for a 3060 laptop

Edit: and was listed at 1400 yesterday

Yeah at 1200 it's definitely solid choice!

First option is a no brainer and would easily do d2r and ark

But the second have better specs and same price

2nd does have only 8gb

do u need ips? if so go second

also if u need 240hz and play fps on i guess.. low or medium do u need that? then go 1st

did i miss something cus the first one is by far the best compared
240hz ips vs 120 ips
16gb ram vs 8gb ram
5800h vs 5600h
same gpu
1tb nvme vs 512 nvme
The first one is the better deal
