Budget: Ideally $800 maximum, willing to push an extra $100 if I'm being unrealistic
Country: USA (Pennsylvania)
Use case: Would love to play BG3 on high/ultra with mods, plus run Da Vinci Resolve for occasional video editing. Other games I want to be able to play are modded Skyrim, Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth, and Genshin Impact. Any models that can handle upcoming AAA games are a plus.
Preferred specs (optional): 16GB RAM, 512SSD, RTX 4050+, and AMD Ryzen 5 or 7. I'm still learning how to understand specs, but hopefully that's enough to go on?
Notes: This will be my second laptop. My 2018 Dell Alienware bit the dust after I played BG3 on it...I suspect I accidentally cooked the motherboard. I bought that laptop from a relative for $500 years ago. Obviously those days and prices are long gone.
Thank you!
