January 1, 20215 yr 1650 is a good choice for a non serious gamer. Here a video link: YouTube (The 1660Ti model is a mid class model) An i7 model is a good idea, it doesn`t matter which graphics card it will be combined. Also, the processor will do more work than only gaming. The other way around, a good graphics card with an i3 model would have been a bad idea. If you can get it from a friend it`s a good choice, because you can test it, look at the display, etc. to judge by yourself if it is a good laptop (it does not have a screen with 100% color reproduction, it is not very bright for outside use - but again it might be good enough). Be warned as mjrhealth said that gaming laptops are not that much silent. The only thing I don`t like about the 1650 is its price. 800$ right now is way too high and unbelievable. I bought 2011 a laptop with an AMD mid range graphics card for 350$, the Nvidia 1650 is an entry model actually (altough quite fast). But prices won`t drop, only newer hardware will come Q2 2021 for entry notebook graphics cards.
January 3, 20215 yr Just got a new laptop with an AMD 4800H, 32 GB RAM and RTX2060 with 6 GB. X-Plane benchmark results at its native 1080p are nearly on par with my desktop PC at 1440p (3700X, 16 GB RAM and a 5700XT). It's a semi-custom Linux-centric model that cost me around 1600€ with a 2 TB m2 SSD, but I figure one can find similar off-the-shelf laptops from bigger companies for around 1300€.
