‘Cheaper’ Nvidia RTX 5050 laptops leaked by way of retail listings

Boy, it’s not getting any simpler to afford a gaming laptop computer lately, huh? You is likely to be contemplating a step down in energy to your subsequent buy if you happen to’ve received a good price range, means down from the present crop of $3,000+ laptops. If that’s you, Nvidia might need a number of cheaper choices in retailer quickly, within the type of RTX 5050 laptop computer GPUs. They’ll slide in underneath the RTX 5060 collection, scheduled for later in Could.

Prolific leaker @momomo_us confirmed off two screenshots of Lenovo LOQ (the corporate’s extra price range gaming model) and Legion 15-inch laptops sporting Thirteenth-gen Intel processors paired with not-yet-announced RTX 5050 playing cards. The pages have been up on UK-based vendor Laptops Direct, however seem like down as of now. As VideoCardz.com notes, they’re packing 8GB of GDDR7 video reminiscence, matching the laptop computer model of the RTX 5060 and boasting a 2GB improve over the cell RTX 4050. We don’t know every other specs in the mean time, however presumably it’ll be a step down from the 5060 in at the least a number of metrics.

Much less encouraging is the worth. The cheaper of the 2 laptops was priced at ₤1,149.97. At at the moment’s change fee, that will put its USD worth at $1,531. Ouch, particularly contemplating that RTX 5060 laptops are allegedly going to begin at $1,100. The existence of costlier fashions doesn’t preclude the existence of cheaper ones… however yeah, I wouldn’t maintain out hope for getting a more moderen Nvidia card in a laptop computer that dips beneath the four-figure mark anytime quickly. There’s at all times the Acer Nitro V (or as I prefer to name it, “Outdated Trustworthy”).
