I've been looking for a good gaming laptop for a long time and currently have two models in mind. It would be nice if someone who knows something could give me a few tips…
Since such an acquisition should be well thought out, it is not easy for me to decide. On the one hand it should be a really high quality device, on the other hand I only have a budget of around 2000 euro. It is certainly understandable that I want to get as much out of the limited funds as possible, but unfortunately I don't really know my way around, not even after much research.
The two models mentioned above would be the "Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop advanced 2020" and the "Gigabyte Aorus 17g 2021" (maybe someone already has experience with one / both) but I would be open to further suggestions. The decisive factors were RAM, i7 intelcore processor, at least 520GB SSD and high image quality. Where my first questions came up. Does it make more sense to take the Razer, with which I can still upgrade the RAM, or the Aorus, which already comes with more RAM, but can't be upgraded? How much RAM am I worth for good gaming in the long run? And how expensive would such an upgrade be?
I'm also ignorant of the processor cores. The Razer is said to have installed 8 such cores, I've read that more or at least 16 will make more sense in the future. Is that true and how many are useful?
What else should I pay attention to and which brands are high quality?
I would be very grateful if someone with a little more expertise could help.
The battery should be removable so that you can operate it with continuous power without damaging it in the long term.
In the end, you get the most out of your money with a desktop PC. It's not suitable to take with you, but the question is what you want to use the gaming laptop for mainly.
If you want to gamble at home, but also want to use the thing at school / work etc. For work, it can be a good idea to buy a decent laptop with 600 euro and invest the remaining 1400 in a gaming PC.
In the long run, you can upgrade the gaming PC much better than the laptop.
Of course, if you want the laptop to gamble on the go, that's not necessary.
Does it then make more sense to assemble it yourself and does that make sense for a layperson at all?
You can also do this with software. You don't have to do all the nonsense with removing the battery.
In the end you can save yourself a bit, but I would say that laypeople should rather have the PC built, or use someone who has already done it and knows what is important.
If you don't know anyone, then the first choice for me would be to look for a shop that also offers the compilation of the PC. It costs a little extra but is of course cheaper than a defective motherboard.
Do you already have a monitor, mouse and keyboard at home? If so, then you also get a good gaming PC with this service. Unfortunately, the prices for graphics cards are still beyond good and bad.
Yes Bro, if gaming is so important to you, a PC with a case and screen would be appropriate. You can get the screen really cool for 300 to 700 euro. A good laptop screen pays really, really expensive. And 15 inches is nonsense anyway.
No software can ensure that the battery is bridged if it is not provided by the hardware.
You can make sure it doesn't load if that's the goal.
Why should you take it out then. It's just so ridiculously pointless these days.
Personally, I don't believe in gaming laptops… Battery in gaming after 1-2 hours empty, heavy and expensive.
maybe cloud gaming would be B. An alternative through GeForce Now…
Explain how this is technically possible if the current always goes through the battery, unless the hardware does not provide for it.
RAM: at least 16 GB
CPU: 6 or 8 core - A 6 core is the minimum if you want a certain future security and you need an 8 core if you want to stream. - Basically, however, many games still benefit from a high single core performance.
Otherwise I can't really help you. I can only give you a few general tips.
Many manufacturers also like to install gritty displays and lousy batteries in premium products. - You should definitely pay attention to that
How much you like the laptop in the end also depends on factors that can't be "read" from product images. For example: how much the fans whine under load, does typing on the keyboard feel "right", do you like the display, etc. Usv…
Have you ever thought about getting a convertible? Then you would have a laptop and a tablet in one device.
Do you know curmudgeon? You can search very precisely in the Notebooks category and filter for the properties you want. https://geizhals.de/...de/?cat=nb
A 500 GB SSD is really small for a gaming laptop in 2021. Especially because games keep getting bigger.
Fun fact: modern devices can do just that! This is standard.
We're described here, for example.

Welcome to the 21st century.
So if you are very unsure or if you are still a newcomer to the PC field, then let him build it together.
It also depends on how talented you are and how much fun you can do it yourself.
So I don't need any software for that as you suggested.
If you don't even know whether you want a gaming laptop or PC, then you should first be clear about it.
It has to be set for some software.
With the software of my laptop manufacturer, I can first set when the battery starts charging and to where it can be charged. I only let it recharge to 100% below 70%. If I infect it with 75% then it stops at 75%. Even if it hangs on the power supply for a week.
In addition, Windows is not completely stupid and switches to "mains operation" when the battery is full.
What modern technology can do…
Oh and by the way: Batteries are just wearing parts. I want to use the laptop as such. If I want a new battery in a few years, I think the original manufacturer costs around 100 euro. If I ever need that.
I can only agree with point 1! There are really expensive laptops with lousy screens and batteries. You wonder if you couldn't have had that in a 400 euro device.
In addition: dissolution is not everything. A 1080p panel can look great and a 4k panel can look lousy (bad colors, uneven lighting, for example).
I also meant the panel and not the resolution. - It makes a huge difference whether a cheap TN or a high-quality IPS panel is installed.
