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?

    I’m interested in Framework’s new laptop with an upgradable GPU. That’s one my biggest gripes with gaming laptops, GPUs can be outdated pretty fast compared to the rest of the system. I know it has been tried by other companies before, but upgrading is Framework’s entire business model so it has a better chance of succeeding then a one-off laptop by a different company.

      I love framework’s ideology and their execution seems on point. I preordered a 16 and I’m super excited about it (even though it’s pretty pricey compared to other gaming laptops).

        Oh for sure, there’s a premium you’re paying. And (hopefully) you’ll end up saving money by delaying another laptop purchase by doing an upgrade instead. Or at the very least break even and just be a bit more environmentally friendly.
