Replacing 1660 laptop

[NightReaver]

Hey there, family friend asked what I can come up with as a desktop replacement for a 1660 laptop. After looking around I stumbled upon a powercolor rx6600 at microcenter down to $180 new.

Seems to be a good bit more powerful than a 1660 and pretty low price for a rx6600. Thoughts?

yup, seems like a decent bump over a 1660 mobile. price seems reasonable now too...

The cpu would also be going from a 4800H to a 5600x which I'd imagine is also a pretty decent boost for games. But that's a cpu topic lol.

Are they set on a desktop, or is a desktop replacement laptop an option?
