I will be going to college in a year or two, and I need a laptop capable of running games at high refresh rate and doing schoolwork.

 

I have no set budget, and im not 100% sure when i will buy.

 

I have never owned a laptop before so im not sure what to look for.

requirements:

-1080p high refresh rate display (240hz or above)

-5600u minimum (or intel equivalent)

-rtx 3060 minimum (or amd equivalent)

-good cooling, i dont want a thin and light that overheats

-upgradable ram and storage

 

things i want but arent required:

-2 or more usb type a ports

-ethernet port

-easy to disassemble to clean out fans or replace parts

-seperate mic and headphone jack

-bios capable of overclocking ram and cpu(i may actually underclock cpu).

 

i dont really care about aesthetics or noise.

Operating system doesnt matter either, i will be doing a clean install of windows 10 home 64 bit
