[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  FYI, the minimum specs that you want to look for would be an i5 processor (or the AMD equivalent), 16GB of RAM, and 256-512GB SSD for storage.  You will need more storage for games.  Storage is usually easy to upgrade.  Integrated Intel or AMD graphics are fine for non-gaming uses.  For games, look for Nvidia RTX 3060 or 4060 or better GPU.  Note that the Nvidia GPUs are not the same for the desktop and laptop versions (i.e. the 4060 desktop version is significantly more powerful than the 4060 laptop version).  Also, i9 processors (and, to some extent, i7s) in laptops are generally pretty pointless because they cannot be cooled effectively and will not perform any better than the lower-tier (and cheaper) processors.  For desktops, the i7 and i9 processors are significantly better if there is adequate cooling.   Nvidia is consiered to be superior to AMD by Windows gamers, but AMD GPUs are better for Linux if there is any interest in that (Nvidia Linux drivers are a PITA).[/quote]
