Hey all, I know building is the smarter move but I genuinely don’t have the time or knowledge to do it so prebuilt is what I’m working with.
Budget is $800-$1000, want to play stuff like Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Destiny 2 and Marathon at 1080p. Also need it for basic office work.

Narrowed it down to two on Best Buy:
• ASUS TUF T500 — RTX 5060, $959, clean look, no RGB. But uses a laptop CPU apparently?
• iBUYPOWER Slate MESH — Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 4060, $999. Better CPU platform but older chip and full of RGB I hate.

Is the laptop CPU in the ASUS actually a dealbreaker? Am I missing anything else in this range that’s actually in stock?
