Hi guys. I am stuck and running in circles for a gaming laptop that I will use for everyday stuff, work and light gaming.
What would you consider best deals currently.
Cheers.

    Cheap gaming desktop + a light weight laptop is going to be a better experience all round.
    Any of these cheap PCs from Nebula and an M1 Macbook Air is by far a better combo in the long run that a gaming laptop.

      I sold my gaming PC, I don't have the space anymore for a desktop.

            @Atomik17: Just use your phone in shower like the rest of us, just don't forget to turn Bluetooth off! 🤣

      This has only a 4050. What's the screen quality like?
      The Acer Nitro V is 1099 with same spec.
      ?

      For $1600 you should be able to get an RTX 4060 easy - I got one for $1479 with the Lenovo LOQ from Centre Com last week.

      • david6509 on 29/07/2024 - 17:26

        got a link?

          It went back up a few hundred since then, but I'll probably throw mine on ebay for $1000 soon and see what happens as my video on it is done.

          • david6509 on 30/07/2024 - 13:56

            @JarrodsTech: any chance you are finished with it now haha? Id happily buy it at that price but i need it quite soon as im going overseas for a few weeks. Plan on using it to play diablo on my work trip. If not all good do but would you have any recommendations on a good sale at the moment with a 4060?

          • david6509 on 30/07/2024 - 17:15

            @JarrodsTech: also forgot to ask did you recommend it and whens the video out?

              @david6509: Video is already up on the channel. If you need battery life, stay away. If you don't care so much about that, performance is decent in games and similar to other 4060 laptops, but for a lower price.

              Might be a bit hard to sell it in time then as we're going away for a week soon, but if you're still interested you can email me and we can sort it out. Email address is on the Jarrod's Tech YouTube channel about section, not sure if I can put it here.
