Looking For Gaming Laptop Advice

My old laptop recently broke, so I'm saving up for a replacement. I've got about $1500 NZD to my name right now and I've been looking at these:

• MSI Cyborg A15 AI (RTX 5050)
• MSI Cyborg 15 (RTX 5060)

I'm looking for something that'll last a few years and handle gaming well.

I was originally leaning towards the RTX 5050 model and upgrading it to 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, but I'm also thinking that storage can always be expanded later with an external SSD, whereas the GPU can't be upgraded.

Would you go for the RTX 5060, or the RTX 5050 with the RAM and storage upgrades?

I'd love to hear about thermals, build quality, battery life, and any issues people have had with these laptops. If there are better options around the same price range in New Zealand, I'm open to suggestions.

Budget: Not confirmed, but under $3,000 NZD

Country: New Zealand

Use Case: Gaming

Preferred Specs: 1TB storage, 32GB RAM, RTX 5050+.

Thanks!
