$5000 USA — Gaming laptop for AAA titles

:snoo_thoughtful: Buying Advice

Budget: $5000+

Country: USA

Preferred specs (optional): RTX 5080 or RTX 5090; 2 TB solid state; at least 32 GB RAM

Use case: Gaming (Baulder's Gate 3; Resident Evil etc.)

Notes:

I was looking between EVOC High Performance Systems X5801B (X580WNS-G) (Made by hidevolution) Or the Eon18-x from Origin PC. I previously bought a custom-made EVOC laptop from Hidevolution, which is why I'm biased towards them, but that was 8 years ago, so it's possible that the quality has gone down.

That's why I'm seeking the community's advice. To be clear, I am open to further suggestions, it just seemed like Origin PC had the best reputation so far in the custom laptop game. If I'm about to drop 5K+ on a laptop, I want to make sure the company I'm paying to build it is trusted and reliable.
