I already have a desktop. My grandparents found out I have to travel for work and they decided to ask me if I wanted a laptop to play games with while I'm in a hotel. They're willing to spend up to 2 grand as a Christmas present.

I trust MSI and Asus more than other brands, but I'm open to anything if it's trustworthy.
I don't really care about weight, temperature is a big deal though.
I would prefer a 17 inch screen because I'm a size queen.

What i look for that stick out for me, so a quick glance:

ASUS ROG Strix Scar Edition Gaming Laptop, 17.3 144Hz 3ms Full HD, Intel Core i7-8750H Processor, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB DDR4, 256GB PCIe SSD + 1TB FireCuda, Windows 10 - GL703GS-DS74

yes

I'd consider upgrading the SSD so you can run everything off it rather than needing an HDD alongside it, but aside from that, yep, pretty solid. :) The display is particularly impressive.

I will note the GTX 1060 variant is about $300 cheaper, and a 1060 is still pretty damn solid.

In terms of brands, I'd say I trust Dell the most, but Asus aren't bad in my experience.

idk about the build quality but it looks solid enough
