    Black Friday Laptop

    Looking for a new laptop and I saw this Black Friday deal.

    Will be using it mostly for: WoW, Hearthstone, Minecraft, Civ 6, Stardew Valley, Netflix
    But I would also like it to play games like The Witcher 3, The Quarry, Assassins Creed series

    ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713IC-HX041W, Gaming Notebook with 17,3 inch Display, AMD Ryzen™ 7 Prozessor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, GeForce RTX 3050, Eclipse Grey

    900Euros

    Something that I really dislike is that it doesn't have a camera. Although I will soon have a MAcbook Pro for work, not being able to have Zoom meetings etc might be a deal breaker, but im still considering it.

    Yay or nay?

    I mean if not having a webcam is a dealbreaker, either look for one with one, or buy one separately.
    As for the laptop itself, it looks okay and will probably do 1080p gaming just fine, or casual 1440p

    I found another one that I might be interested in (and it has a webcam!)

    Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH 15,6" WQHD 165Hz i7-12700H 16GB/1TB SSD RTX3070 DOS

    1300€

    I don't know much about computers . Can I install windows on it? It says the operating system is DOS

    Do you have a link for it?

    I don't see a reason why it'd come with DOS instead of windows or linux
    Nor a reason why you wouldn't be able to install either

    Yeah, I see no reason that shouldn't be capable of running windows.. Or come with it to begin with, but Lenovo are weird I guess
