Which is better for gaming, A or B?

B. The RTX 5060 beats the RTX 4050, and the 8-core Ryzen 7 260 with a 5.1 GHz boost feeds it better. Both have the same 165Hz 1920 x 1200 screen.

Is B worth the extra over A?

B is priced at $949.99 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, and no price was given for A. If A costs close to that, B's newer GPU and CPU make it the better value; A only wins if the dock is worth the gap to you.

B, as a 2026 model with a newer GPU and CPU. A is a 2025 model, so it will hit performance limits sooner on new games.

Do both have the same screen?

Yes on size, resolution and refresh rate: 15.3 inches, 1920 x 1200, 165Hz. B lists 300 nits and 62.5% sRGB, which is fine for games but not for color-accurate work.

Can I add more RAM or storage to either?

Both ship with 16 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Neither listing states whether memory or storage is upgradeable, so check the service manual before buying.

Which is better for school or office work?

Both handle it. A includes a dock, which makes a desk setup easier; B's 8-core CPU is faster for heavy multitasking.
