Recently got married and now looking to treat myself to a good gaming laptop - current using rig ally x (screen too small and not powerful enough) and ps5. With the extremely high prices in the uk for gaming laptops, really need help/advice to get the right one.
My focus with the laptop will be purely gaming so power, noise and cooling are the priority! I’m very aware these device will run hot regardless, will be getting a cooling pad to go with it to help.
Currently looking at Rog strix g18 but open to all advice/recommendations!
