So I recently started studying Sound design and music production, and I'm looking for a laptop powerful enough for Pro Tools and games like CS:GO and WoW, but I don't need anything super powerful.

Do you guys have any recommendations for something like that?

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

no.

The Blade thermal throttles like hell and has some of the worst QC I have ever seen, intel HD is shit for gaming, the macbook is also shit for gaming and only has very very few games
