Why I NEVER Recommend Gaming Laptops #tech #pc #technology #shorts

“What gaming laptop should I buy” is a question I get asked dozens of times a day, and my answer is always the same: Framework 16 or a ThinkPad P series. Because as a technician, I have a moral obligation to recommend things based on repairability and reliability. Which are the 2 least prioritized things on a gaming laptop. Whereas an enthusiast recommends things based on how new and powerful the tech is when it’s brand new. And since it’s impossible to tell what problems a new device will have in a few years, I can only rate things by how my past my experiences have been with certain models and companies. For example, the Acer Nitro is low-cost and fragile, but decently powerful and easy to upgrade and maintain. Higher end Lenovo Legions are fairly reliable and built sturdier than some others. But none of these have replaceable keyboards, and finding genuine parts is hit or miss. Framework 16 is expensive, but it has a modular GPU, parts are readily available, and you’re supporting a company that prioritizes right to repair. The ThinkPad P series is built sturdy, has a replaceable keyboard, a “gaming” GPU, and parts are easy to purchase. But whatever you choose, just clean the thing regularly.
