    This is terrible advice, I really hope it is a shartpost.

    -The average PC has a 1tb drive these days (1000 gigabytes). You cannot buy more memory online. It is a physical item that is installed into a computer.

    -VRAM, as you say, is not the only way one judges performance of a GPU. There are series from NVDIA (GTX, ranging from the 1050-1080ti) and AMD (ranging from the 550 - the 580 to Vega). VRAM is not the only measure of how to run games. If you want to run any modern game @1080p 60FPS, all you need is about 2-4gb of VRAM, and one of the current gen GPUs.

    -Not sure what you mean by "GBRAM". Did you mean plain old RAM? If so, 8gb is the standard for today, If you want anything better than 1080p 60FPS, get 16gb.

    -Next is OS. Windows vs. MacOS. MacOS can't run 90% of games, so that is a pretty obvious choice to make.

    -Brand doesn't usually matter, but whatever one does, don't get an Alienware. They're overpriced pieces of trash. Lenovo has no issues, Lenovo makes great laptops such as those included in the Thinkpad series.


    And keep in mind, if you buy a "gamery" laptop, it will run hot and have a batter life of less than two hours.

    Please never give advice on a topic you are not sure of again.

    (And if you need proof to know that I am well versed in PC's and their specifications, I've built over 15 computers with my bare hands)

    Like others have said desktop is usually better. But if you're looking for a good laptop, the MSI GS series is my personal favorite. Good specs, good looking (i.e non-gamery). Big things to look out for is 8th gen Intel CPU and 10 series graphics. The new AMD mobile stuff ain't bad either with dedicated graphics.

    I would probably suggest the HP Omen 15, goes between $850-$1250 USD counting on the specs you're looking for. HP® OMEN Laptops | HP.com
