Looking for a laptop, around 800 to 900, but has to be from a bricks and mortar shop

    I got a Allgo voucher from work for €500 before Christmas and I'm putting it towards getting a laptop that will mostly be used for gaming and video editing. Because I can't split the price of a machine over two payment methods online - I asked Paradigit over the phone and they were a no-go - I'm looking to buy from a physical store.

    Best I've come up with so far is this Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 7535hs and RTX 4050. https://www.currys.ie/products/lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3-15.6-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-rtx-4050-512-gb-ssd-10249561.html?searchTerm=Gaming%20ideapad

    The ram will have to be upgraded but is there anything better out there? Pricing for laptops seems to be all over the place - both online and off.

    you will struggle to use that voucher unless in the bigger stores such as Tescos as the card commission screws the shop, can be 10%, hence very few electronic shops will take them

    Isn’t it just a normal Mastercard that you can’t convert to cash - like withdraw to Revolut or PayPal?
