Looking to buy a new gaming laptop, which brands are reliable for long term use? My budget is around a 1000USD equivalent (I’m not in US) . Reliability of not having damages and repairs in foremost for me at this budget.

which brands are preferred, and avoided?

    these people are fucking crazy.

    I have a laptop from at least 5 years ago that was around $1000 then. It has a 1060 and some 4core processor I can’t remember. I beat cyberpunk 2077 and used to play VR games streamed to an oculus quest. I literally still use it today, while my desktop has a 3080ti.

    You can eaaasily get by with a 1k gaming laptop.

    I’d say look into something a bit on the physically larger side. They can get better equipment in without paying a ton on research and development to squeeze every performance to weight they can. Plus cooling will be better, you’ll get more performance for your dollar.

      looks like their “acceptable performance” is 4K 120FPS ultra high ray tracing…

      My current potato laptop can only play 15 yr old games at 720p, and I still get by.

        Absolutely agree. The amount of posts in the PC gaming related communities are always about how only getting 120fps is unacceptable on their single player farming sim. Gamers—especially PC gamers—are, in my experience, completely deranged. Haven’t read the rest of the thread but I hope you got some sound advice as to what laptop to investigate.
