The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 comes with an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor, along with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 also comes with a dedicated GPU, for those students who want to wind down after a day of studies with some gaming. For the GPU, you've got a NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU, which may not be the most powerful GPU on the block, but it can certainly play most modern games at low to medium settings. Paired with the 120 Hz IPS display, the overall gaming experience on the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 can be pretty enjoyable, especially on older titles like GTA V and competitive esports titles like Valorant which aren't too GPU intensive. The keyboard on this laptop is backlit, which is a plus in our books, and the aesthetics don't scream gamer, so it doesn't look out of place in a classroom or professional environment.

The HP 15s comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor, a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with max boost clock of 4 Ghz, paired with 16GB of DDR RAM, meaning it should have no trouble handling most tasks you throw at it. Additionally, you also have 512 GB of NVMe SSD storage, so your boot and load times are going to be superfast. The HP 15s comes with integrated graphics in the form of AMD Radeon Graphics. This will not perform as well as laptops with dedicated GPUs, but you can still manage some very light gaming and play old` er titles at low settings and resolutions. The FHD 15.6-inch display is still great for consuming other media content. At around 1.7 kgs, the laptop is also fairly lightweight, unlike the previous two gaming laptops on this list which tend to be on the heavier side. This makes this far more convenient when it comes to carrying the laptop around.
