I had posted a post regarding wanting to buy a gaming laptop, but it turned out to a discussion about budget and such I didn't get much much info from it…
Forget about budget and other stuff and all. If you HAVE to buy a laptop and gaming IS a requirement, what would you look? which brands are good or bad?
Used thinkpad? Probably more suited for retro gaming. My best guess is to go for brands that I already trust for other components. So… MSI?
