Either one of the newer ASUS Zephyrus laptops or an XPS 15. These would be my go to, Zephyrus more for gamin first, work second and if work first, gaming second then the XPS 15.

Mainly because those 2 are laptops that have impressed me in real life. Only tried older ones of course but I assume the newer ones have to be better in just about every way. I also recommend Acer swift 3 but that one only has an APU, not enough for you.

 

Zephyrus had funny port placement from what I remember and might be annoying to some and XPS was just in general a nice laptop. Felt very premium.

 

As for other's I can't say what they're like, that's why I didn't. Million and one different models and many companies who make laptops. I can just give general hottakes from what I've learned over the years.

• Alienware is just marketing. Waste of money.
• Lenovo is just boring. Safe purchase but predictable. They feel like the VW of computers.
• Always some compromise with HP. Two steps forwards one step back. They keep pushing their 2 in 1 laptop designs that I just hate. If I need a tablet I'd just buy a tabled. If I need to show someone something I can just turn the laptop around, no need to flip it.
• MSI is always a hit or miss. But very often bulky laptops. Too "gamery." Often overkill and overpriced for most use cases. I don't need to carry around a suitcase with me. Their Stealth laptop seems ok tho
