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?
“I want a laptop for portability” followed by almost never leaving its desk is a tale older than time. Be honest, are you really taking this laptop on the go, or do you just like the idea of it?
If you really are, that’s cool. But you should really think about it before you spend that much on something that sacrifices upgradability, repairability, and thermal efficiency for a benefit you won’t use.
Exactly this. I first thought I wanted a gaming laptop, only to find the experience sub par, and riddled with compromises. Sold my gaming laptop after half a year. Now I got a great gaming desktop, and a slightly used Surface Pro for when I do need to be portable (plus I can steam remote play on it at way higher settings than this computer would run)
The advancements in networking and related technological developments really changed the need to have multiple high powered devices.
My old gaming laptop exists as a mere opportunity to take things mobile on the rare occasions I’m able to go on a long trip, as a Linux platform to squeeze a couple more years out of it that it had on Win10.
