Suggestions as to a gaming laptop.

[Herodotus]

Hey guys, basically what the title says. I have been keeping track of the development of BG3 for a while now, and absolutely adore Larian's other games as well as the old school BG games. However, my current laptop, while an awesome laptop for doing laptop things, is definitely not made for more taxing gaming, so I am looking into getting a new one, this time an actual gaming laptop. Another reason for my looking for a laptop is that, in my country, things are a bit rough when it comes to electricity, so I experience frequent (near daily) blackouts, so something with a battery is preferred. What I'm asking is that you guys give me suggestions for affordable gaming laptops which could run BG3, as I am still pretty new to the PC space and am a bit of a Neanderthal when it comes to graphics cards and the like.

Honestly i'd still buy an actual pc and then solve the electricity issue with an extern battery

I'd be careful with gaming laptops depending on your climate. I live in Brazil and my Alienware melted due to overheat, total loss. Desktop to me from now on.

1.CPU
If you like amd cpu, R7-6800H or better

Like Intel cpu, i5-13500H or better

2.GPU
RTX4050 Excellent price/performance ratio (for 1080p)

RTX4060 is also a wise choice.

amd, rx6700m or better.

3.display
1080p(for aaa game)

with 72% NTSC or 100% sRGB

4.RAM: DDR5
8+8=16g
Or 16+16=32g

5.hard drive

SSD

Gaming ability and efficient power are, unfortunately, opposing interests.

You've really got to define a budget when asking things like this, and what settings you're looking to play on. That said affordable and gaming laptop are a tricky mix because you don't get value, pure power or power efficiency when choosing the smaller form factors, you sacrifice everything for mobility. Desktops are king bang for your buck when it comes to gaming at any decent level.

But if you're set on a laptop better to go as high as you can afford rather than cheap out imo, it will last you longer.

I would avoid a laptop for any serous gaming. The batteries will not last that long and high graphical game, will make it overheat. Very common issue when you pack all those high level components into a very small space.

Acer Nitro AN515 Gaming Laptop Six Core Intel i5-11400H up to 4.5Ghz 16GB 512GB SSD 15.6in Full HD HDMI Backlit Keyboard NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti Win 11

It is less than 900$ USD with shipping from Amazon. It runs the game fine.
For the price this is an outstanding laptop.

Well, when I say that I mean something that is pretty good, able to run games like GTA5 or Baldur's Gate 3 at medium settings at least. The price is fine, I really just wanna know a ballpark estimate as to what sort of money I'll need to be saving.
