Pros

RTX 4050 at $799 is excellent value for entry-level gaming
120Hz display is a noticeable upgrade over 60Hz
Upgradeable RAM and storage via accessible panels
Ryzen 5 7535HS handles both gaming and schoolwork
Decent thermals for a budget chassis with dual-fan cooling

Cons

250-nit display is too dim for well-lit rooms
8 GB base RAM needs upgrading for modern games
256 GB SSD fills up fast — plan to add a second drive
All-plastic build feels flimsy and creaks
Speaker quality is poor — headphones are recommended
