I’ve been looking at best buy. Are there any other sites to look on?
Budget: targeting $900, can go up to $1000 Specs:
- 3060 or 4060 and up
- decent build and ergonomics
- good battery
- 16 GB RAM
- 6 core / 12 thread CPU
- good screen

In that case dell and Newegg might be good places to comparison shop - the mid-range gaming laptop market is pretty thin and they almost all have big flaws. The quality of Newegg is trash compared to what it used to be but it occasionally has fire sales and the reviews are a lot more trustworthy than someplace like Amazon - set your price range, search by review score and do a side by side comparison against best buy. Similarly dell is pretty sketchy price wise but the machines usually have appropriate cooling and you’ll pay a premium but it won’t be a lemon.
I’d also suggest checking other retailer websites (ASUS comes to mind) - but stay the fuck away from Amazon, it will be cheaper but it will either 1) overtly lie or 2) fail to mention large flaws (like having a potato for a battery).
