Hey everyone, I know I’ve made some posts recently about gaming laptop shopping with this years leftover scholarship money, and need some help. Just to clarify, the amount of funds I have in my account is roughly 3115, but I am limited to the vendors that they have approved, and their devices they offer, plus all of these laptops regardless I’ll be having to pay money out of pocket (MSI Vector 16: ~150, Lenovo Legion 7i pro: ~350, Asus Rog Strix G18: ~450, Msi (don’t remember model, but most likely something not worth it for me): ~600). Now, I’m looking for something semi-portable, but also a desktop replacement, since I don’t have a desktop that I likely will be getting anytime soon. Now I’ve got four choices (last two are the hugest risk, since the system my scholarship uses will be shutting down the 29th, and the new one won’t be opening till the 1st of July, meaning I would have to wait, and run the risk of items being different, or just gaming laptops being completely out the door), which is either buying something now and taking what I get, waiting for something better to “maybe” be added in, waiting for Memorial Day weekend for a better deal (plus could possibly add in a expensive mouse like the Logitech g502 x plus light speed) but run the risk of them not approving it in time and then I have to wait till July 1st (could be completely new selection or just limited to education stuff), or taking the risk of their being nothing with this new platform/if there is I could wait till new funds load in (potentially being 6-7k plus) to get a 5090 laptop + peripherals (which I already will be getting next year regardless. I just need some major help guys, since I’m to ocd to pick something, and be firm on it.
