Need some advice for a new gaming laptop

[kukurumei]

Don't Listen to the people telling you to avoid gaming laptops. I haven't touched a desktop in years since I made the switch and have no plans on going back. People claiming they don't last probably have no idea how to take care of a computer (In my house we have a 6, 5, 5 and 3 year old laps and all of them still run perfectly). If you ever plan on going anywhere or taking your computer anywhere at any point in the future, laptops is definitely the way to go.

Personally, Asus and Lenovo are the 2 brands to look for when buying one. You don't need a RoG to play games, the entertainment line works just fine (Like the one you have). You won't be seeing super high framerates at max settings unless you want to overwork the lap, but its enough to play the game at a comfortable level.

I always use this 2 websites when checking the GPU, so far they look fine.

You should be fine. It's more important at this point to check the build of the laptop itself. Like overheating/exhausts and whatnot.

As internet goes, no one can prove anything.

With that said, statistically and realistically, it's BS. Considering the fail rate of a gaming graphics card in general of more then 2yrs is pretty high. Multiple parts in an enclosed space is without a doubt even much more worse.

Design/structural failures aside, some of it can be fixed by those with hobbyist backgrounds, like reapplying thermal pastes(this part is absolutely a problem as time goes on), cleaning, and power regulation (very few areas are exactly 120v...heck mine is floating at 125).

But some things will never be fixed with gaming laptops since they are hitting the entire system with a huge load and long operation times. Something as simple as the psu is simply a material problem. And any gamer knows how a PSU can effect gaming.

I would say eye-balled, around 40% of gaming laptops show signs of problems after 2yrs(based on repair shop experience), only under gaming use. It would be just fine doing internet, spreed sheets and multimedia, but the moment it hits gaming, the problems surface.

Some people are fine would running the risk of 2yrs of heavy use. Some aren't. And some like to play the risk. It's a gaming laptop, it's just how it is.

Of course this isn't counting the built in wear and tear aspect. (many gaming laptops have complaints of broken keys, which is pretty obvious as all keyboards have a lifespan on number of presses)
