Just looking for something to take on the go once in a while. I'd mostly be using it for watching Anime & Gaming Budget is 1k-1.4k. Games I play are mostly Fortnite, Minecraft, Overwatch, Red Dead Redemption 2, RuneScape. One thing to note, I think I prefer a screen size of 15 or so inches. As that's what my backpack says it's designed to safely protect. Though a 17 inch could fit in my backpack as well.
I was at Best Buy earlier today they didn't have much of a selection, though I got recommended this Razer Blade 15 employee said it regularly costs 2k, but it was Open Box & discounted to $1.2k for 'Minor Scratches'. I inspected it at the store with the employee and at home, didn't notice anything really. Though it is incredibly loud not even while gaming, just downloading Windows Updates it was super loud. And after playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on it for about 5-10 minutes I checked my temps using Speccy and the CPU was at 80-81C. So I'm bringing it back tomorrow, I have a feeling something more might be wrong with it with that temp and that steep of a discount.
This is another laptop I am considering it's in stock at my local Micro Center (Paterson NJ Store if anyone wants to search and recommend something there). It's an HP Omen.
