Hi, I am a bit of a hardcore gamer but have found I am working to much lately to find time along with having just had a baby girl :p I built my PC a long time ago and I am due an upgrade…. It’s like an i5 with a gtx 1080 but it ran like a dream. I work for the ambulance service so find myself on standby a fair bit so thought I might get rid of the desktop idea and see if I can get something good to play on the go. Would you guys be able to recommend a laptop that could be used as both my desktop and on the go? I am not bothered about size to be honest and the bigger ones have better cooling? As stated it would be mostly for gaming and I would like it to be able to play everything… especially escape from tarkov which can be quite CPU and ram intensive. I am looking at between 2-3 grand and had my eye on this however I hear some of the Lenovo laptops are good value?

I was thinking 3070 ti? As have read the extra money isn’t worth for going bigger.
 
Also would like an ok battery time however will probably have a power pack with me or be able to plug into the vehicle? I mentioned the Lenovo because I hear it’s great value, would I be better specking one of those or would this beast suffice? Also what’s the difference between this and the zephyrus? It’s just thinner which makes heating more of a problem or?
 
So I should maybe lean towards a lenovo? Got any suggestions for which one or a link? Or links to any other similar good alternatives? On paper the one I linked seems sick lol Asus not great then or? Yeah the pay increase from 3070 ti to 3080 ti seems steep but I may be wrong
 
Yeah it seems like that’s the choice… doesn’t the new 7i come as a 16 inch with 3080? And a 1080p camera? Also have they not replaced the RGB software with their own? Can’t seem to find one on their site… prob just a stock issue?

The keyboards wind me up - none of the marketing photos or video reviews feature the actual product I would receive. Went into the purple shirt store to see more laptops irl and it just seems like every manufacturer has made up their own non-standard keyboard layout. Infuriating. Just gimme normal TKL!

Lenovo 5i Pro seems the best bet at the moment. 7i if you're a top revenue earner.

Yeah well the new version 7i is meant to have a 1080p cam and they have changed to their own RGB software apparently which should help with battery life by quite a bit so was hoping for that but seems stocks are short or something
