Recommendations for a new gaming laptop?
Your budget is approximately 1800 Euros, though it may increase to 2000 if it proves valuable.
The notebook size you're evaluating should be at least 16 inches.
You prefer a screen resolution of 2k.
You require a portable or desktop replacement laptop, similar to the one you currently own (Clevo P651RP6-G).
Battery life is not a critical factor for you.
If you wish to play games on your laptop, please specify the titles and the desired settings for each. You prefer low, medium, or high performance.
You need a laptop that can last a long time.
You need storage space as much as possible, with multiple slots available.
If you have specific sites in mind for purchasing, share their links. They should be accessible throughout Europe.
You intend to keep the laptop for about 6 to 7 years.
The type of optical drive is important; options include DVD ROM/Writer or Bluray ROM/Writer.
You have no strong dislike for any brand, but XMG seems more affordable.
Your preferred country of residence is the EU.
Additional details are not necessary unless you wish to mention them.
I am not interested in features like backlit keyboards or RGB lighting; if present, they should be optional and fully adjustable.
Quality construction, available sockets and slots, and a high TDP GPU are more important than aesthetics. Weight and thickness are secondary concerns as they mainly affect cooling and expansion.
I would choose the Predator 300 PH315-55. It offers a budget-friendly price, solid construction, and effective cooling. While it may not be overly flashy, features like the backlit keyboard and underplate ensure durability for at least six to seven years. Just make sure to look for models with either a 3060 or 3070 Ti GPU, as many older versions have lower-end graphics...
Hey there,
This might be similar to what you see here: https://www.currys.ie/products/hp-o...S&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=Affiliate.
It's located in Ireland, but it's mainly for showcasing the specifications and fits within your budget. A really powerful machine. You can adjust the settings if needed!
It's just one choice, but it's both 15" and really hard to find something unused :/
This is mostly about the hardware I'm considering, but it's actually quite small.
It seems the details are about a 16-inch version, but the focus is on what you can expect from this product. The specifications are limited, and the main point is that it's suitable for travel with a 14-foot display. When at home, connect it to an external monitor for more screen space.
Will photo/video editing be a main focus? If yes, you’ll need a solid discrete GPU, which will certainly raise the cost. If editing stays at a casual level, some recent mobile CPUs offer strong built-in GPUs. I recently used Handbrake on my 7940HS laptop and was impressed by its performance. It handled encoding in just 10 minutes without reaching maximum power draw, running smoothly on a ROG Flow X13. Also, you should aim for at least 32GB of RAM if you plan regular video work.
No worries about that. Currently using an external monitor but larger size helps with ports&slots and cooling. Normally I'd say anything below 17" is a no no but recently discovered 16" and its a better tradeoff in terms of both size and mobility than 15 or 14s.
My bad about that. I left that question untouched and mislead you. I don't intend to do any graphics work.
