Hello

my lappy is almost 5 years old and I'm not sure how long it'll last without spontaneously combusting without cause or warning. It has a new battery and seems mostly fine, but it's also a Dell so it's got a lot of stupid baked right in

I don't have a ton of time to sink into games, and I don't gravitate towards particularly demanding games in general, so I'm pretty undecided between going for a desktop + shitty light laptop or a reasonably capable laptop. I am pretty ignorant of the current laptop scene and 100% ignorant of the market for pc components so I beseech y'all for help

My requirements would be:
  • Stronger or at least comparable* than my current computer (i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti)
  • 32 GB Ram
  • Headphone port
  • Doesn't have the fans of a given IO solely on the bottom of the thing so if you place it on a soft surface it'll immediately start overheating and choking itself dell what the fuck is your problem why would you design it like this
And hopefully it'll be more portable than the 6 lbs my current laptop is, but if that's impossible I'm a big boy I'll cope

*if it's about the same strength I hope it'll at least be lighter. a slightly weaker integrated graphics system is fine

My budget would be less than $1500 I guess, I'm a student with no job so like yeah. If that's not feasible for a laptop or it just makes a lot to get two machines, fine. Not in any particular hurry, just want to start keeping my ears open

also i'm in europe if that matters

Honestly, they have a corny reputation because of what the acronym stands for, but I've found the ROG Zephyrus line of laptops to be the perfect mix of "I can game on this, but also it's small/light enough that I can take it to a coffee shop to do business".

The Lenovo Legion is also a great choice.

This one ACTUALLY meets your needs, and is right on budget.
