Nvidia RTX 5060 and 5050 laptops spotted from Lenovo, LG, and Razer

Cheaper Nvidia graphics cards are on the way, though exactly when they’ll arrive is still quite fuzzy. But if you prefer your PC gaming on the go, it looks like you’ll have some less-expensive RTX 50-series options soon. Several laptop makers—including Lenovo, LG, and Razer—have been spotted advertising or otherwise tipping laptop models with RTX 5060 and 5050 GPUs. VideoCardz.com spotted all three companies showing off the latest Nvidia laptop cards in one way or another. Lenovo has an unboxing video for the IdeaPad Pro 5, wherein the description text (not the video itself) mentions an optional RTX 5050 graphics card. Interestingly, this info appears to have been floating around for a while, with the Lenovo YouTube post marked January 30th. So unless the 4,000-view video was updated since then, Lenovo has apparently had this info floating around internally for at least a few months. Meanwhile, LG listed the RTX 5050 in a Taiwanese promotional page for the Gram 16 laptop, specifying that it’ll have 8GB of video memory. (That’s 2GB more than the RTX 4050 laptop card, by the way.) Finally, the latest version of Razer’s Blade 16 gaming laptop is listed with an RTX 5060 graphics card option in China, though, like the other two variants, it’s not available to order yet. We’re still waiting on less-expensive desktop cards from both Nvidia and AMD, and while lower-power discrete graphics are less relevant in the current market thanks to far more capable integrated graphics, there’s still a market for them. It’s possible that the chaos currently unfolding in the consumer electronics market—resulting from the Trump regime’s punishing tariffs on China, Taiwan, and several islands inhabited only by penguins—is delaying these releases as manufacturers scramble to adjust supply lines and pricing. Nintendo had to delay Switch 2 pre-orders just one day after last week’s announcement, possibly to adjust pricing for new tariffs.
