Colorful has released a new Panda-themed variant of its P15E gaming laptop in China, targeting budget-conscious buyers who want entry-level performance. The device pairs an older Intel Core i5-13420H processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, offering a practical setup for casual gaming and everyday tasks. This configuration appeals to users who prioritize affordability over the latest hardware generation.
Budget gaming laptop offers RTX 3050 and 144Hz display for around $796
The laptop features a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1920×1080 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, which helps deliver smoother visuals during gameplay. Under the hood, the system relies on 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD for storage. These components form a balanced foundation for users who do not require high-end speed or massive storage capacity.
Specifications
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13420H (13th Gen, 8 cores, 12 threads)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop
- Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200
- Storage: 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD
- Display: 15.6-inch IPS, 1920×1080, 144Hz
Pricing for the Panda P15E starts at 6,299 RMB (around $936) CNY (around $936) in standard listings. However, the laptop is available for 5,354.15 RMB (around $796) CNY (around $796) in regions where China's national subsidy applies. This price drop makes the device significantly more accessible for students or first-time PC gamers looking for a reliable entry point.
This model contrasts sharply with 2025 Panda laptops that featured RTX 50-series GPUs and DDR5 memory. The P15E sticks to proven, older technology to keep costs down. Buyers seeking the newest graphics cards should look elsewhere, but those prioritizing value will find this a solid option.
