Hi,
I know this is very broad, but I am looking for advice or perhaps a few recommendations for a new gaming laptop.
Ballpark budget approx. R25 000. Absolute maximum R30 000.
Screen size 15.6.
I mainly play strategy games and RPGs (E.g. Civilization, Xcom, Witcher, Fallout, Skyrim).
Not at all into FPS.
I currently have a Acer Predator (intel Core i5, with a GTX 970m) which I bought a few years ago. Its starting to show its age now, so need to replace it. Spilling coffee on it about a year ago didn't help.
Its also quite heavy as its a 17inch so looking for something smaller this time round.
I can probably get away with something less than R30k for my gaming needs, but I am not someone that will buy a new laptop every 2nd or 3rd year.
Hence the higher budget as I want something that will still be decent for the next 3 years or more.
There are just so many options and I am out of my depth. So would appreciate recommendations from resellers on the forum and hopefully narrow down the 100s of choices to just a few and I can take it from there.
I am definitely open to purchasing from someone on the forum. It must be brand new though.
