Laptop recommendations for Game Devs?

[Ahano]

Hi everyone,
I know questions like this get asked a lot, but I wanted to reach out and get some up-to-date advice. I haven’t kept up with the laptop market in a while, so I’m feeling a bit lost.

I recently received a decent amount of prize money and now have the opportunity to buy a few laptops for game development. With so many options out there, I’m unsure what to go for, especially in terms of performance and long-term value.

Do you have any recommendations or advice?

A few quick details: I’m based in German, We’re looking for Windows laptop, lookign for a strong GPUs (Unreal/Unity development, possibly 3D)
 

this is my first ever post on these forums so im not sure of this is the correct place so sry if it is.

Budget wise we are pretty free. So anything from 1000-3500. And we would need 2-3 Laptops.

If thats 3500 each, then you can basically get the most expensive laptop you can find

 

Try and get one of the new laptops with the 50 series mobile chips (e.g. 5080), and for development I would try and aim for one with 64GB of RAM
