Hello, I'm planning to purchase a laptop for everyday use with a little bit casual gaming.

I have found one particular model with same processor - i5 1240P but has 3 GPU variant models.

GTX 1650, RTX 2050 and RTX 3050 (with RTX 3050 being the costliest and 1650, 2050 are almost equivalent price)

Rest of the specs are same, 8 GB DDR4 and 512 GB SSD. Which one should I choose if price is not a matter?

Kindly suggest!

All of those are old, outdated cards, but since your needs are not really that high, the 2050 or 3050 do ok, but since laptop GPU's cannot be upgraded (by the average user anyways) after purchase, get the one with the 3050 and that should hold you for a while :)

And perhaps you should budget for a ram upgrade to 16GB, which is rapidly becoming the standard, but buy it yourself to save some $$, as most mfgr's will typically scalp you for ram upgrades if purchased with the machine....
