Nice thanks ..how about $1,000?

Without shopping the entire internet I'd be happy with this at $1K max budget https://www.newegg.com/msi-thin-a15-b8vf-270us-15-6-amd-ryzen-9-8945hs-16gb-geforce-rtx-4060-1tb-pcie-black/p/N82E16834156648

wow thanks man!

New stuff might come out in Jan-March but that's a sick laptop.

one fan on gpu and cpu is highly ineffective. i know from experience. my current laptop have only one fan and it struggles with overheating gpu. you need at least something with 2 fans: one on the gpu and one on cpu. a too thin laptop also overheats easily.

I'm scared to even open the laptop to put a fan in

[andreasaspenberg575]

you can not install a fan into a laptop. it comes with a certain amount of fans and that can not be changed.

yes

ones like this work really good, there are cheaper ones around $15-20, but this is the first i could find

to explain what i said better: you should buy something with at least 2 fans. it should not be too thin either.

You might end up waiting for a little more performance but less quality of overall build for the same money. Like, years of difference in longevity. You never know with modern tech what'll happen.

Look at it like you're going to spend at least $1200 with new chips for somthing as nice as that MSI A15. Could be a step down to R7 and 50 class card which would be the same thing for more money.
