Hey all! Currently gaming on a Dell laptop which runs most of my stuff fine, but there are some more intense games like RDR2 that it struggles with. I'd like to upgrade to something a bit beefier and wondering what y'all like as far as gaming PCs or laptops go.

I know some of y'all are gonna tell me to build a PC but I don't have any interest in that. With the prices these days I don't think it's worth it, and in any case I'd much rather just plug and play.

I’d personally recommend trying to visit ur local Costco/walmart/bestbuy and see what deals (if any) they got on prebuilts and compare there prices.

    Good call, I'll never miss a chance to get a good deal at Costco.

    I bought a Lenovo Legion from Costco years ago and the power port died on (or maybe it was the day before) Thanksgiving. I filed a warranty repair claim and they sent a guy TO MY FAMILY'S HOUSE ON THANKSGIVING to fix it! He swapped the warranty part in after maybe 20-30 minutes (bad power board, normally takes a little longer but this guy was fast IMO).

    I also gave him a $50 and a fresnell lens to help read serial numbers as a thank you because I used to be a field tech myself and I was blown away by how awesome the service was.

    These days I use an Eluktronics Prometheus 17, which has been great (runs Bazzite like a champ) but I absolutely recommend buying through Costco (just stick to decent brands like Lenovo, MSI, etc. and do a little research to make sure the parts are OK).
