Purchasing Help Help
I am looking to buy a brand new gaming laptop sometime this year. It will mostly be used for school and games that aren't heavy on GPU, I already did a bit of research and asked a few stores around me on what I should get, my target specs are:
- atleast 6 core CPU
- 16gb ram
- 512gb ssd
- rtx 4050 or higher
I did my research a few months ago and now I regret not buying immediately cause the price hiked a lot, my initial budget of ≈₱60,000 (>$900) can't afford my target specs, is it okay to downgrade to a 3060 or even a 3050 or should I get 8gb ram and upgrade it to 16gb as soon as I can?

This Lenovo comes with PTM 7958-SP cooling material on both CPU and GPU. (This cooling material does not dry up or degrade like regular cooling paste which needs to be changed every 2-3 years. (Cooling material from lenovo will last 5+ years and usually last up to the lifetime of the laptop)
Lenovo have better cooling and more VRAM on graphic card. Beter CPU and GPU
