Hello,
I'm looking for a good laptop mostly for gaming but shouldn't look to gamery (also for going to class), I would also like to have quite a lot of storage since sometimes school files can take up a lot of space and it's easier to have access to them via the laptop would prefer 1TB+ (this can be ignored if the laptop is otherwise very good). As an added downside I live in Belgium which means I'm used to an AZERTY keyboard and that deals from America are to expensive to ship over. If anybody has any good recommendations I would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

Budget is max 1600 euro

AZERTY keyboard

is that a must? those are difficult to get in europe

 

i would reccomend "geizhals.eu" (no idea how the belgian pendant is called) as a starting point

you can pretty much pick and choose any speck your laptop needs to have and the site will show you all models that have them sorted by price

isn't AZERTY only used in Europe? This would just be because I'm used to it but is technically not required.
Thanks for the website I'll check it out :)

AZERTY

pls forgive my ignorance XD

i am austrian and we (german speaking folk) use QWERTZ layout

just googled it and saw that AZERTY is mostly used in france and belgium

 

i guess once you found a laptop that suits your needs you could order it from the french or belgian amazon page? wouldnt there be different itterations depending on the country?

Belgium doesn't have an Amazon page up until now I've always ordered from the German Amazon because the French doesn't have an English/Dutch language option (as far as I know). but I'll check the French Amazon once I know a bit more about which one to get. Thanks for the help

It isn't the same but the main keys are the same just brackets and accents and @ things are different. Thanks for the recommendation
