6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)? - Gaming is not the priority, I am more of a movies watcher on laptop. Gaming will be an added advantage as I have a PC for that.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) - Lots of surfing, movies, may be gaming.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? - This is the most important. 1 TB is bare minimum, more is better.

The laptop you've linked above is considered to be the cream of the crop in terms of tech. Storage wise on that laptop, it's got 2x 1TB NVMe drives in RAID0. You can break the RAID array and have both SSD's working as is, meaning 2TB's of storage. You can also upgrade one of the M.2 SSD sticks for a larger capacity drive. If you're interested in gaming, can you mention the titles you're looking forward to without mentioning an etc in the sentence? From the looks of it, I don't think you need 3,000USD laptop for something that can be accomplished with a 1000USD laptop plus some DIY storage additions/mods.

Preferred site for purchase?

hI, sorry, the games I play are - RR2, No Mans Sky, Division 2, Watch Dog Legions, and ARMA3 (if I can figure out how to play it). Presently my PC only give me 50 FPS so anything more is good.

So yes, if 3000 USD laptop is overkill please suggest which one you recommend. I saw some laptops with OLED screen, are they any good? Can they come in my budget?

I usually buy my stuff from Amazon Australia but never bought a laptop online before. I did buy a graphic card from https://www.mwave.com.au/.




Thanks
