Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a versatile laptop that can handle gaming and other tasks without breaking the bank. I'm not too picky about the display specs, as long as it has at least 1080p or 1440p resolution with a refresh rate of 120Hz or higher. My budget is ideally around $1000, but I'm willing to stretch it to $1500 for the right hardware. Just to clarify, I currently own a MacBook Pro M2, but I need a Windows laptop for my specific needs and I don't want to go through the hassle of running Windows on my Mac. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for a great all-around laptop that can handle both gaming and video editing, I highly recommend the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16. It's a solid choice for the price! If you want more options, I've compiled a long list of laptops that are great for less intensive gaming and general use. Just let me know!
Consider looking into the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro or 9 models. They might be pricier, but it's hard to beat their performance for gaming—definitely worth checking out if you're serious about gaming! Ensure you have at least 128GB of RAM and go for a high refresh rate for the best experience!
Yeah, don't forget the "advanced specs" for casual gaming, lol!
I'm currently using an Acer Aspire VX15 with a GTX 1050ti and an i7 7th gen. It runs most games at medium settings pretty well, but keep in mind the display isn't the best since it has LCD issues and it's only 60Hz. I got it for $500, so it's a decent budget choice if you don't mind some limitations!
Thanks for the heads-up! Good to know the performance expectations.
That sounds like a solid option! The Zephyrus models have a great reputation for performance.
