@Hestia25 In that case, you ought to try the OMEN line.
I believe that’s their gaming division spec laptops.

@Hestia25 Hmm :thinking: I see, you can narrow down what you’re looking for.

For instance, I chose a 15-inch before that has a number pad, Webcam, and i7 6th Gen still in it. I ended up getting a 14 in. which in turn lost the number pad and Webcam, but enhanced my portability, with Ryzen9 as the processor.
A friend of mine, grabbed an earlier 17 in. before, but it wasn’t very portable and heavy. Might of been better replacement for desktop.

The rest, I’ll leave it to our fellow Otaku fam. They might have other insights on specs.

If you don’t mind me asking (you don’t have to answer if you don’t want), but what would your budget be? I can try to look around and see what I can’t find. Would you stick to laptops and not desktops or building your own pc?

The most $1,000, I’m not a hard core gamer, I like laptops, not the desktop pc ect.
I saw the cheaper I could get it is for $829 with out taxes and my discount

I’ll take a look around the web and see what I can’t find. Those ones on HP do look good though.

So I tried to keep in mind your $800-$900 range and the fact that your last laptop had a whopping 128 gb of ram. I will say that Strikers choice is a really good one especially considering your HP discount. Here are some choices that I found with just a quick little search.

  1. This bad boy is a sleeper that I found on Amazon. The specs are really good for the price. Get it while it’s on sale. 64 gb DDR5, 3050, 2 tb ssd, and a pretty good cpu that clocks at 4.3 hz base even with 6 cores. Yeah I would overall pick this sleeper find even though it’s $900 still amazing :laughing::heart: https://www.amazon.com/LENOVO-LOQ-Gaming-Display-Keyboard/dp/B0CP62Z43C/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HV97cFKwsA2Kcim3AUeaJe-lSDcwaoq2_YlLPtzzr5p6h3JZR0a1CvnRLM1ynmdGl8ywvUF9jP4tL7oftY8OVVLXLW2dFN1N48Vk9HJ7AveFi_ZVWZp9b-0nYYC72yI1SkqSRJYZCJ39tvs55QXTLCMwtSNJgxPCFG2yx8ViZSH9sZ8wKwF782dN_yCdTd8Td9iiaHzHGMNL96GPvwEffw.x5ZPGUwPo1L-OKMKrVPcuN44oPVnc-sUU9dT_q-wKYU&dib_tag=se&keywords=gaming+laptop&qid=1711403886&refinements=p_36%3A2421890011%2Cp_n_feature_thirty-three_browse-bin%3A23720421011&rnid=23720416011&s=electronics&sr=1-18

  2. Similar to the last one but just a bit more budget friendly . $819 I believe. Still not bad spec wise and it’s a 2050 which will still be good especially since you’re a non hardcore gamer. 64 ram and other good specs alongside make it still a good option, although I would personally buy the previous one fthe extra $80 dollars especially considering the GPU difference. https://www.amazon.com/HP-Display-GeForce-Backlit-Keyboard/dp/B0CFS1S4C3/ref=vo_sr_l_dp?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ftRmAtRWTfY-f_P6kI22QLvHMFUpBvHMze8UOwZWOGgQIlsyUb3MnlABv3lJBY_yl9urq4HX4NJh3fR6Pk0-wve3DS_pQb-T9oX3GpuTFEFhsgoa_aH8cyGdHFlTot72VUoLeFsnNScOcaqJPc1oYAdAw8N0tzzFnnklwR7oTOJSDO-VW7L0sgLNUhIXFwthE26_OjmlGZZH8zVVqOcp_Q.yvhfZ9iLlcInFo7_-LKCkfEfIc_FFcUM-C5GdNzCGp4&dib_tag=se&keywords=gaming+laptop&qid=1711403255&refinements=p_36%3A2421890011&rnid=2421885011&s=electronics&sr=1-4

  3. This one focuses more on the you and cpu, but is still good for its $865 sale. 16 DDR5 is still not bad. https://www.amazon.com/Octa-Core-GeForce-Display-Backlit-AN17-41-R6L9/dp/B0BTQS4N1F/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iihrJPTfNCq46eAo6v9ar-7kMeErU4kGE7_T_TaGzZ2mZAO4Yh73veQv-ZsYJPRSB8XEYR7T13-SWXzY8-iXTrzfhdzZAw3arSxto_U_hzOC3aQIAFhoAVvVIRJUe84nsCxr3yzmcAjs9Xes-JgW4e-7xqi1PeFtig5RU3UIl6LwG2oxsChgCCq0zyKp8IPcKiUTrRWJ25SFjTDRkchzFQ.19LUps9oSjAyL19Y42A5fmUVTC0S8ZIotsrdtI-Dy8o&dib_tag=se&keywords=gaming+laptop&qid=1711403682&refinements=p_36%3A2421890011%2Cp_n_deal_type%3A23566065011&rnid=23566063011&s=electronics&sr=1-2

  4. This one I just wanted to find a relatable asus model similar to the one striker posted with the HP. Note it seems to be a refurbish but if you like ASUS it’s a good choice, depending how much you trust refurbished ones. Open Box: ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2023) Gaming Laptop, 16” 16:10 FHD 165Hz, GeForce RTX 4050, Intel Core i5-13450HX, 16GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11, G614JU-NS54 - Newegg.com

Personally I would go with my first choice, that bad boy is a steal at the moment. I’ve had both Lenovo and ASUS laptops for years at this point and I love them all (although I game on a desktop). Can’t go wrong with these brands in my opinion but at the end of the day it’s your choice :heart:

That sounds cool, I haven’t logged into my Minecraft account on PC since 2020 tbh, I had both a Java and Bedrock version but hardly played Java because it didn’t support a controller and I prefer to play with an xbox controller on my PC, and I don’t have the skills for gaming with a keyboard and mouse. So Bedrock is my go to version I use. I’ve never used realms before so that would be an experience.

It’s only 8 per month. If I decide to purchase I will let you know. I really don’t want to start up a server because bedrock is already cross compatible with most systems already. It would just be a vanilla world unless you want mods.

10 people can be on the world at anytime, which should be good enough because I doubt we would have more than 5+ people on at the same time.

Just got back from the Dealership, ended up buying me a New Car. Anyone who was paying attention to the Rant topic knows I was having issues with my old Malibu. Ended up trading her in today and got a 2023 Toyota Camry.
