If you're going to do light work on it you don't need a gaming laptop. The ideapad gaming is an alright gaming laptop but keep in mind gaming laptops get hot, have loud fans, and generally have a poor battery compared to normal laptops.
If you're going to do a lot of video editing I'd say it's worth it, but if you're going to edit a video every now and then I'd say eehhh.
Worth keeping in mind that ARM windows laptops will happen in 2024, so if you don't need it now it may be worth waiting half a year or so if you want a laptop that's light and decently powerful and can last a long time.
@simple I will keep the ARM laptops in mind, I know if I kept it (as much as possible) a Video Editing laptop then I will most likely get work done faster and without issues of getting distracted so it might be a worth while purchase, Thanks.
