Thin 15 B13VE-1697CA
Tracked reference · B13VE-1697CA · ASIN B0CSY75ZCN
The RTX 4050 makes this a more current 1080p gaming choice than the Nitro's RTX 3050. I like the thinner format, but thin gaming laptops often trade some cooling and noise comfort for portability, and 512 GB still fills quickly.

MY TAKE, IN PLAIN ENGLISH
What I like, what gives me pause and who I would recommend it to
What gives me pause
- Laptop GPU performance depends on its power limit and cooling
- 512 GB is modest for a game library
- Thin chassis cooling can be audible under load
Who I would recommend it to
Choose it over the Nitro V for the RTX 4050 feature set; move to the TUF A15 when sustained RTX 4070 performance matters more than portability.
My final check: I would also confirm the displays, peripherals, warranty and upgrade options required for your use.
