As both a developer and a gamer, my PC setup plays a vital role in my daily life. I've put together a system that balances performance for coding tasks and enough power for my gaming sessions.
Lenovo LOQ | Ryzen 5 7640HS | RTX 3050 6GB
15.6" 144Hz Full HD IPS, G-SYNC & FreeSync
512GB NVMe SSD | 16GB DDR5 5600MHz
My workstation is designed to enhance productivity while providing an enjoyable environment for both work and play. The combination of powerful hardware and carefully selected peripherals creates an optimal experience for all my computing needs.
Whether I'm writing code, debugging an app, designing UI in Figma, or jumping into a gaming session — this setup handles it all without breaking a sweat. The Lenovo LOQ with its Ryzen 5 7640HS and RTX 3050 gives me the perfect balance of power and portability.
Powerful specs for development and gaming needs
Lenovo LOQ (15APH8, 82XT00EEIN), Storm Grey
Windows 11 Home — came pre-installed with Office, which is actually super handy when I need to jump into college assignments.
AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS. It's got 6 cores and easily handles compiling code, running local servers, and gaming without breaking a sweat.
NVIDIA RTX 3050 (6GB). More than enough for my coding projects and runs most of my games perfectly fine at 1080p.
16GB DDR5 at 5600MHz. Fast enough to keep dozens of Chrome tabs and VS Code open simultaneously. Might upgrade to 32GB later.
512GB NVMe SSD. Windows boots instantly, though honestly I'll probably need to upgrade soon because games take up so much space.
15.6" Full HD display at 144Hz. That high refresh rate makes everything feel buttery smooth, whether I'm scrolling code or gaming.
The built-in dual speakers are alright for casual YouTube watching, but if I'm gaming or coding I usually stick to my headset.
Wi-Fi 6 keeps my downloads snappy, and it's got plenty of ports (USB-C, HDMI 2.1, USB-A) so I don't have to carry annoying dongles.
60Wh battery with a 170W charger. It's a gaming laptop, so it mostly stays plugged in while I'm doing heavy workloads anyway!
It's got a 4-Zone RGB keyboard that actually feels really nice to type on when I'm away from my mechanical keyboard setup.
The essential accessories that enhance my computing experience
My very own loud, clicky Blue-switch keyboard. It's incredibly satisfying to type out code on this, though my family might disagree!
A solid wireless mouse. Not having a cable drag around my desk while I’m coding or snapping headshots is honestly a game-changer.
Very comfortable for long, late-night coding sessions, and the surround sound is great for tracking footsteps in-game.
An oversized pad that gives me plenty of room to swipe, plus the RGB lighting just ties the whole desk aesthetic together.
Packed with 6 fans, this thing basically ensures my laptop doesn't turn into a space heater when I'm running heavy workloads.
The apps I open every day — for work, play, and everything in between
Where I write all my code. Extensions for everything, built-in Git, and it just works.
Runs Apache, MySQL, and PHP locally. I test everything here before pushing to production.
Can't code without version control. I use Git for everything and push to GitHub.
AI-powered editor I've been trying out lately. The autocomplete is honestly pretty wild.
Chrome for daily browsing and dev tools, Firefox for cross-browser testing.
I mock up designs here before coding them. The collab features are great for getting feedback.
Where most of my game library lives. I've spent way too much time in here during the winter sales.
Honestly? I mostly just open it every Thursday to claim their weekly free games. Works every time.
Basically just installed on my machine so I can get my Assassin's Creed and Far Cry fix.
Because there are days where you just need to launch GTA V and aggressively drive down the highway.
I use this to keep an eye on temperatures so my laptop doesn't melt down during summer gaming sessions.
Keeps drivers updated, and ShadowPlay is clutch for saving clips of cool gameplay right when they happen.
Word, Excel, PowerPoint — essential for tackling my B.Com college assignments smoothly.
My digital brain. Where I toss all my project ideas, to-do lists, and random notes I'd otherwise forget.
Absolutely essential. When I put my headphones on and hit play, it usually means it's time to lock in and code.
Honestly pretty standard, mostly just used to review boring coursework PDFs and sign documents.
The ol' reliable tool. I use it constantly to extract downloaded project zips and asset folders.
My ultimate rubber duck for debugging. Saves me hours when trying to figure out why my code won't compile.
