which laptop do i buy

Buying help

* **Country**

Kurdistan (it's a region in Iraq the same currency as Iraq)

* **Budget**

~$1000

could be some less or more cause I'm buying in irl stores

* **Are you open to refurbs/used options? **

Maybe

* **Screen size**

idk maybe a decent screen size? :P

* **Weight limit**

Any

* **Purpose**

Gaming/code/for university aka carrying it around

* **Form factor**

A normal laptop? Aka standard

* **Intended usage**

[wanna play insomniac spiderman games, red dead redemption (1,2) , ghost of Tsushima, some other similar games at 60+fps (high graphic quality)

and competitive games like Fortnite (120+ fps with good graphics)

and minecraft at a good playable state when playing modpacks

also some video editing (not too much going all in but i wanna have it decent)

And yeah coding too if that matters

* **Desired battery life**

More than ~7hours is pretty good imo

But 6 is like fine i guess

* **Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life**

most important is performance then battery life then weight

i wanna play games on it at home with good performance while being able to use it at University and carry it around while it not being much of a hassle to carry around and good battery life so it don't die quick while outside if that makes sense

* **Info/Requirements** 120hz or 144hz

screen resolution 1440p or 1080p if the budget won't allow

i want it to have 16gb ram ? I heard it's the minimum for my preference

also don't want it to scream gaming and also I want to have it for a couple of years don't want it to deteriorate after like a year of use
