Help me choose a gaming laptop with a ~3500$ budget
(English is not my first language, sorry if the grammar isn’t the best 🙏)
So in around 2 months I want to replace my Alienware M15 R7 due to some underlying problems I had with it the last months.
I’ve been a big Alienware user ever since I was 12, but I wonder if now it’s time to change brands mostly because of the maintenance problems (99% of the time related to battery)
Some of the things I would like is:
- I like playing modded games (Skyrim, Baldur’s gate, etc) so I hope +4 TB isn’t out of my budget
- +RTX 5070, 5080 ti would be the ideal but I’m fine with 5070
- 64 RAM (this is very optional because of the current RAM prices lol,32 is good too)
- Some Portability, 16-inch or less (Enough to bring it to uni at least once per week)
I have family in the states so I can buy it from US stores and then sent it to them.
