Hello everyone,
I have been searching for a laptop that I can use for gaming and work. I also need a laptop that will still be relevant 3-5 years from now. My budget was originally around $1,500 but have now stretched to around $2,000 to $2,200 to make sure I get the best laptop that will last for 4-5 years and will be able to let me play games on high settings for at least the next 3-4 years. I have been researching for a while now and have settled on the following laptop. Please let me know if this will be sufficient for my needs as described above. Or if you have an alternative in that price range whose specs are better than this and if you think it's a better laptop, please do let me know. Thanks.
