What kind of budget are you working with? Dedicated graphics along with more ram and drive space would always come in handy if it's for gaming... 8gb on the second option seems quite low to be buying on a laptop to last you from 2025 onwards.

I usually buy ASUS. Other than the keyboard buttons (I do use it a lot though, for writing and other communication), but I got a "4 TB" (2 2TB drives) for around 2200 or so from Amazon.

My price would be around 300

Yeesh man, if you want a laptop that can run any game besides Solitaire, you need to either hang on to what you got, or go higher. These days games need oomph, and sorry but 300 bucks isn't going to cut it.

quoting Eric, but directed at Devil11,

you can get a good system for under $1000. 

HP Victus 15 Gaming Laptop 15.6” FHD IPS Anti-Glare 144Hz Intel 8-core i5-12450H (Beat i7-11800H) 32GB RAM 1TB SSD GeForce RTX 3050 Backlit B&O Fast Charging Win11 Blue w/ICP Accessory

 

I got the gem above for my kid for school for 700 on Amazon. dont bother following the link, its dead now on site.  point is to set your specs, then hunt around.

to be fair, i remembered paying 3 and light change for it until i looked up my order history.  Similar one was  available at Walmart for 315 at around the same time, but that sold out before i could go back to get it, and im betting Devil dont have a walmart in his neighborhood

If you want my advice NEVER play a game (less a modern one) at a laptop, especially which has no dedicated video card and NEVER invest in a gaming laptop (see in the end the real reason why you shouldn't). Instead of investing in a gaming laptop which is not cheap at all by the way, you better build a desktop pc (which have better cooling system by far), with the same amount of money, on which, all your modern games will rock. Also take into consideration that gaming laptops are hot as hell when you play a high end game (high settings considered etc) and have a dedicated video card (who is buying a gaming laptop these days without a dedicated video card  I wonder...) . No matter your choice will be, good luck!

But , again, that is just my opinion :)
