Hi guys. This is my first time posting. I am here because I am trying to decide what my next laptop should be and I have come up with a few options.
MSI Crosshair 15
15.6'' FHD Display 144 hz
Core I7 11800 RTX 3060
16 GB Ram, 512 GB storage
Cost: $1222.99
Lenovo Legion 5
15.6'' FHD Display 165 hz
AMD Ryzen 7 5800 RTX 3050 Ti
16 GB Ram, 512 GB storage
Cost: $1099.99
MSI Katana GF66
15.6'' FHD Display 144hz
Core I7 12650 RTX 3050 Ti
16 GB Ram 512 GB storage
Cost: $999.00
Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-725A
15.6'' FHD Display 144 hz
Core I7 12700 RTX 3060
16 GB Ram 512 GB storage
Thunderbolt 4
Cost: $1199.99
Acer Predator Helios 300
15.6'' IPS Display 144hz
Core I7 11800 RTX 3060
1 6 GB RAM 512 GB storage
Cost: $1180.00
My budget is about $1200.00. I don't care too much about battery life since I will keep it plugged in most of the time. For the most part, I will be using the laptop for gaming; primarily for FPS games and JRPGs. I don't care about playing games on max settings. As long as I can get 60 FPS and the display is good, I am fine.
I do have 2 primary requirements. Firstly, durability. I can't afford to buy one of these every other year. I bought a Dell G 15 in December 2020 that died 4 months later. I don't want to go through that again. Something that can last 3-5 years is ideal. I live in the Caribbean and cannot get these machines repaired in my country. That leads me to my second requirement, cooling. It can get quite hot here and I need something with a decent cooling system. Of course, I will also be getting a cooling pad.
I would appreciate the help. I haven't played Octopath Traveller since April of last year and I really want to get back to it. Any other suggestions aside from what I listed above will be greatly appreciated.
