Hey everyone! So here's the deal: I had an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop (15-ec2004EX) that originally came with a Ryzen 5 5600H and an NVIDIA GTX 1650. Unfortunately, my motherboard died, and I took it to a local repair shop. They fixed the motherboard, but I found out they swapped the entire setup. Now I've got a Ryzen 7 6800H and an NVIDIA T600 GPU instead.
The performance is noticeably better with the Ryzen 7, but I'm curious because the T600 is a workstation GPU, while I primarily used my laptop for gaming like Valorant and GTA V. Here are my questions:
1. Did I get scammed or is this a lowkey upgrade?
2. How does the T600 compare to the GTX 1650 for actual gaming?
3. Should I ask to get my original setup back, or is it fine to stick with this one?
4. Are there any long-term risks I should be aware of with this new build?
I only have one month of warranty left, so I want to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of. I'd really appreciate any insights from those familiar with these GPUs or who might have experienced similar situations. Thanks!

I think you got a bit of a scam going on. They should have communicated better, as swapping parts without asking is pretty shady. That being said, the Ryzen 7 is a solid upgrade! Just be aware the T600 isn't great for gaming, so it might not perform like the GTX 1650 in those scenarios.
I wouldn’t call it totally shady, but they definitely should have informed you. At least you gained a better CPU. If everything works well and you’re okay with the performance, I’d just let it go. If not, definitely speak up about the repair. You deserve a working laptop that fits your gaming needs!
Yeah, it seems like they didn’t fully understand what you were looking for. It might be worth discussing your concerns with them.
