Good day all

I intend on buying a decent gaming laptop ranging between R16 000 and R23 000.00. Its a monthly payment on a 36 month contract hence not buying a secondhand one from here :)

Just need some guidanc eon the best bang for my buck and one that is overall the best for gaming but also built well and with a great screen. These are the ones I am looking at:

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52 Series 9th gen
ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DV with the RX2060 But a AMD Ryzen processor that may bottleneck the GPU?
ASUS ROG Strix G ASUS TUF Gaming FX505GM
MSI GL73-9SE Series 9th gen MSI-GL73 9SE-275ZA
MSI GL63-8SC Series 8th gen MSI-GL63
Lenovo Legion Y540-15IRH-81SX00B2GE Dell G5 15 5590
HP Gaming Pavilion 15
HP Omen 15T
Aces Nitro 5
MSI GS65 OR GL67 TX 2070 / GL63 with a GTX1660Ti
Asus ROG G511GV RX2060
Asus ROG Strix G15 v
Asus ROG Zephyrus GA502DU
Lenovo Legion Y540 17.3
Dell G3 or G5

All or most of the above laptops come with a 1660ti and 9th Gen intel i7 processor.

The one that I believe is the best for gaming is the 9th Gen Acer Hellios 300 paired with the 1660ti.

I really need your help I want to buy a laptop that would last me a few years and allow me to play the latest games for at least a few more years on decent graphics.

Thanks in advance.

I hate to break it to you but a gaming laptop is largely useless.

It's hot, slower than anything remotely full sized and relativity expensive.

I currently have the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505GM ALT and it has already had 2 faults: the GPU failed and then it blew a capacitor.
It's an 8750H, 1060-6gig with 16gigs of DDR4-2666, a 256gig NVME and 1tb HDD.

I won't be buy a gaming laptop ever again. I'll stick with a regular Dell with a console to game on.
If I wanted mobile PC gaming, I'd build an ITX machine.
