[SOLVED] What is the best PC for gaming AND work?

[Eli_W]

I need a new laptop for work and studying. I would also like one that can run most games well, except for the most demanding games such as Red Dead Redemption 2. Which laptops come to your mind?

Lenovo Legion is my go to for gaming laptops. Which one would depend on budget.

Any company is fine and any price below 2000$.

Lenovo does make some nice laptops.
usually offering the same or better performance as other "gamer" systems but without all of the ugly aesthetics and extra branding prices.

my old IdeaPad was a great performer for many years.
8 years later and it's still a good browser, media center, light gamer.

I agree with suggestion about Lenovo above, that brand usually has the best price/quality ratio.

Full disclosure, I use a Lenovo Legion myself. I have upgraded the ram to 32gb, and swapped the HDD, for a Crucial MX500 1tb.

Do not expect too much from a gaming laptop.
They are prone to overheating because of the small/light coolers.

I think one of the best is the Lenovo Thinkpad extreme gen4.
Here is a review:
It can be configured by you to whatever graphics and cpu you want.
They are very light if you need to tke it to class.

I do not have overheating issues, with my Lenovo Legion.
