Pure gaming laptop recommendation help plz.

[Titchy]

Hi guys , I’m after a laptop purely for portable gaming while working away from home.

It has to be under 2k , ideally under 1750 but can be flexible for the right machine.

I’ve a cracker off a MacBook just now but sadly if you shut it down it can be rebooted back up by pressing the keyboard. This is not permitted in helicopters so I’m going back to a windows laptop.

This means that it needs to be properly shutdown and can’t reboot by a key press. Only by the actual power button.

I’m after ideally as near to top end a gfx card as the budget allows.

16gb memory as a minimum.

Any and all help appreciated.

Basically as high end for pure gaming as the budget allows and it must shutdown properly and only be rebootable by a power button as the MacBook boots back up on keystrokes which isn’t allows for flying.

Thanks all

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro should suit your needs.

Thanks for the reply. Funnily enough it’s a Lenovo I’ve gone for. Ended up with a pro 7i 16

It’s an i9 13900 with 32gb of memory and 1tb SSD. The gfx card is a bit marmite as I’m aware of its shortcomings but I couldn’t justify the leap up. So it’s a nvidia 4070. Couldn’t go a 4080 / 4090 at my price point.

Thanks for all the replies lads. As long as the 4070 will run new games at a reasonable standard I’m happy. Just couldn’t quite go a 4080 or better right now. Will be interesting to see , I’m aware it gets mixed reviews.
