Hi! I recently have gotten into the market to buy a gaming laptop. I just started thinking about this roughly a month ago so my experience on this subject is minimal. (I understand the basics, what RAM does, how graphics cards affect gameplay, etc.) But my experience on how they physically perform is little to none. I have been looking at two configurations of Dell G3 15's since they're in my budget range ($1200 Max) and I'm stuck between two options. I was wondering how one laptop might perform better than the other and what kind of FPS and smoothness they would produce on BeamNG (Beam is what I would be playing the majority of the time plus I'm looking at adding mods that might need some stronger specs). I'm also looking to see which has the best specs for the price, 'cause I'd love to save $200 if I could. But if there are better options between these two please let me know. Thanks! Here are the specs of the two G3's First one ($1000) 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-9750H Windows 10 Home NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (Boot) + 1TB 5400 rpm 2.5" SATA Hard Drive (Storage) And the other one ($1200) 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-9750H Windows 10 Home NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design, 6GB GDDR6 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
I'd give that extra $200 for that graphic card, the GDDR6 will give you far smoother FPS, being newer and faster. That 512gb SSD is also a really good size, and if at some point you start to run out of space, it should be possible to add a normal hard drive to your laptop later on too, or just use an external drive for movies, videos, etc. Definitely go for the $1200 laptop, it's very much worth the extra 200

Sweet, thank you so much! Do you know what the difference between the two would be when playing BeamNg? (FPS, Graphics, etc.)
Woops sorry I totally forgot to reply here! the 1660 should reduce any possible stuttering thanks to the GDDR6 and its a more powerful card. Having the bigger SSD is good too so you can add more games to that which you play most of.
