Looking for recommendations on workstation laptops - prefer 14" but can do 15" if slim enough, I'm a sucker for an aluminium chassis. The basics include 32gb RAM (prefer prebuilt but can upgrade), i7 and preferably a gaming level GPU but that's very much a nice-to-have. Even though I'm predominately looking at Windows machines, I'd have considered a Mac if the new M1's were out in the larger machines.
Need to purchase this side of FY and budget circa 3k (cashback/gift cards are nice to have).
I know I can just go on to Mwave or similar and filter, but part of this is looking at people's experiences - as an example, my slim HP has been pretty good up until its battery degraded. My Gigabyte Aero however has been good as a gaming rig but not sure I'd trust its reliability working 8 to 10 hours a day, and whilst its slimish, it's a bit bulky for travel.
I would go with another HP commercial laptop if spending over $3K. HP commercial warranty is normally next day onsite service. Otherwise the lenovo commerical range is really nice as well.
