help choosing a gaming laptop

[fishingbrick]

Hi, I'm a student saving up for a budget gaming laptop and I also plan on being a small youtuber. One thing that I am worried about is the fan noise. I don't want to be able to hear any fan noise during recordings as I fear my voice wouldn't be audible. So I'm looking for quiet gaming laptops at the budget range. (The cheaper the better). I plan on getting a used laptop btw. Any tips or suggestions would be nice as I am struggling with my decision.

you'll find that the quieter ones are the bulkier ones, that have bigger fans and heatsinks and can run with lower rpms. there isn't any gaming laptop with inaudible fans, it's better if you invest in a good microphone with noise cancelling.

if you want to record your gaming, go for a nice headset.

if you have other youtube plans, i'm not sure, look online for reviews, i'm sure there are plenty.

If your planning on getting a used laptop, find ones that suit you and post them here and ask people to recommend the one they think is best.

The thing is, I already have headphones so I was just planning on getting a good mic, such as the blue yeti.

Probably can use some tuning
