Laptop Recommendation Needed

[Ian_1424]

Hi everyone,

 

I am looking to buy a laptop for the first time and need some help deciding what to get. Currently I have PC that I built myself but I need a laptop for college.

I'm looking to get something with a decently powerful gpu (2070 or 3060), 16gb of ram, and a 6 core processor. I would be using it for all my college stuff, video editing, and some gaming here and there. My goal would be to spend less than $1300 on it because that is roughly what I could get for my current PC. I am open to buying off of eBay as a lightly used or open box item as well. One more thing is that I do have two monitors that I would want to use to dock the laptop so the screen doesn't have to be super nice.

I think the biggest thing for me though is that I don't want it to scream "gamer" with the appearance. There are a lot of good laptops with the specs I want but they just look big and bulky and not really for me. I am looking at the 2019/2020 Razer Blade 15 with a 2070 but that would most likely be a used item. Would this be a good option?

I would really appreciate some suggestions as I don't know too much about the laptop world. Thanks!!

Buy a refurbished G14 or wait for the Alder Lake.

i like the look of this thing, you may not, but it is pretty reasonable for a college laptop.

 

That or most HP laptops don't look too flashy.
