United States
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I have a few laptops in mind. I am open to suggestion as well. This is just kind of a starting point
This Alienware M15. This is my favorite design, visually. I am kind of leaning towards this. But I read that a lot of alienware laptops have overheating problems, even out of the box. Kinda Scares me. I am not confident enough to open it up and redo the pasting on the GPU and CPU. I also know that it is pretty much not upgradeable (Ram and Memory). Doesn't really matter to me, 16GB of ram is more than enough for what I use it for.

The new Asus G14 that just launched. This was my original first choice but it is sold out everywhere and I am unsure of when it will go back in stock. Also hasn't been seen how it holds up over a few months. Maybe some bugs that have yet to be seen?

This MSI GE75 Raider. It seems to be the most bang for the buck. It has a smaller SSD but from what I understand MSI laptops tend to be pretty user friendly when it comes to upgrades. I just really don't like the design visually. That doesn't mean I won't buy, I obviously am worried more about reliability and performance.
