It will be hard to find a laptop for $800 with a 120 Hz screen. These are found in more expensive gaming oriented laptops only. For $800, look for a good laptop with AMD Ryzen 4500U or 4700U or 5500U. Will be good in your apps. In this price range you get a lot of laptops with 9300H and 10300H, but those are only quad core chips, I would avoid those. Get at least the 10400H with 6 cores. 16GB of RAM should be doable, but some in this price range come only with 8GB of RAM, avoid those. As for graphics, at this price point you will only find entry level dedicated graphics like GTX1650, or integrated graphics on the AMD side. That should be good enough for your use. Don't expect amazing gaming performance though. Since this is a work machine, I would prioritize a good CPU first. This is a bit above your budget at $900, but ticks all the right boxes, AMD 4600H, including 120Hz, and the Lenovo Ideapad are solid machines overall (good screens, keyboards, etc.) https://www.newegg.com/black-lenovo-ideapad-3/p/2WC-000J-00UE8?Item=9SIAEYADZZ8930 Another one from Gigabyte, with Intel 10400H, but $1000, 144Hz screen. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233451?Item=N82E16834233451&quicklink=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2021 If youre looking for a gaming laptop on that budget I think it would be a good Idea to just builda gaming pc Since if you can find a good deal on a used graphics card most of the other parts should be under 1000 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one you're posting has less RAM and a rather different display (IPS vs Anti-Glare LCD). You can always upgrade the RAM later and my personal preference goes to ASUS as a brand but it's to note that I have no experience with those components or laptops themselves.
