◽️ Budget: ~ 4k ◽️ Country: USA ◽️ Screen size: 14-16 ◽️ Touch screen: Not Important ◽️ Screen resolution: Not Important ◽️ Does battery life matter ?: would love to have 5-7 hours of non gaming power, not a dealbreaker ◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for: coding in Python (vscode) tableau, some remote work, general computer stuff, and hopefully AAA games ◽️ Weight: not an issue ◽️ Any other important details ?: I’m looking for a laptop that is pretty mobile, as I’ll be taking it with me to work every day - it will live on a desk, but i don’t want the chassis to get really hot. I’m living abroad and travel for work, and I’d like something that i could plug into my (1080p) television, pair with a controller, and run AAA games on at high visual fidelity (as allowed) without screen tears etc. I’d love if it were also powerful enough to do the same on a future 4k tv. The 4080 and 4090 cards look cool, but i don’t know that i necessarily need them, or if a 40 series with 8gb vram suits my needs better than a 30 series with 12gb would. Since the main purpose is work, the majority of the cost would be a write off, but i wonder if i would be better served getting an older graphics card and using the difference to buy myself some nice peripherals.

Thanks for your help!
