So I'm planning on purchasing a laptop. I'm from India and here laptops are generally priced 20-30% higher than the US price because of import tax. I like what I'm getting with the MSI Core i5 12th Gen - (16 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home/8 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060) Thin GF63 12VF-268IN. After exchange offers and bank discounts this will cost me around $842. There's another one MSI Core i5 12th Gen - (16 GB/1 TB HDD/256 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home/6 GB Graphics/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050) Thin GF63 12VE-267IN and this will cost me around $781. Which one should I go for considering my budget is close to $750 ? Should I save up and spend extra for the 4060 or is 4050 enough ? Any other opinions and options will also be respected. Thank you

Depending what you’re planning to do with it, both will do you fine running 1080p

4060 will perform better and is probably worth the extra 70 here, but being as the other is much closer to your actual budget - maybe the best laptop is the one you can actually get. It’ll do fine and you can eventually spend the extra 70 on a decent mouse.
