Good morning,

1. What is your budget?

About 6000 euros max.

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?

16 or 18".

3. What screen resolution do you want?

2560x1600 or 4K.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?

As portable as possible desktop replacement. I don't plan on carrying it around too much.

5. How much battery life do you need?

Not much. Just enough to browse the internet for a couple hours and write.

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)?

Yes. I play everything from Vampire Survivors to F1 23 to Remnant 2 at 4K120 with maxed out settings and I wanted a relatively portable laptop that provided a similiar (or as close as possible) experience.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)

Just browsing the internet and writing.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?

At least 1TB SSD but would prefer 2 TB or more.

9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.


10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?

A few years.

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?

Don't know.

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.

I like Asus because I like the Scar 18 aesthetics and performance, plus I have a 6+ year old asus 1070 laptop and it was great playing games on it back in the day; on the other hand, overheating was a big problem and it quickly reached temperatures of 92º for the GPU and 100º for the CPU on the most intensive games. MSI not so much because I just got 2 defective units of their Stealth line-up, but I'm willing to try out other models. I always liked Razer but I've seen quite a few benchmarks where the razer performed considerably worse than the competition, so I don't know. I haven't researched the other brands as much but I would be willing to consider alternatives to the above.

13. What country do you live in?

Portugal

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.

Probably none. No laptop I'm considering has an optical drive anyway. I'm leaning more towards the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 for 3855€. It's kinda portable and has the mini LED screen, do you think it makes a big difference over the IPS of the 18" Scar? I'm also considering the MSI Titan GT 77 HX but it's a little heavy and "only" has a 4080, I don't know if it pairs well with the amazing 4K 144hz mini LED screen...
