Which laptop should I get
hey guys, hope yall are well.
Im planning to buy a laptop for university (im a med-student) and gaming (mostly sims 4 and assassin's creed and maybe tomb raider), but im confused between 3 laptops.
Im mostly looking for a portable laptop, although i dont take it with me to uni as frequent as before. As well as a laptop that doesn't overheat much and lag.
My current laptop is HP Envy 13 13 inch, and if I could find the same laptop with better specs, i'd be grateful. It lasted 5 years now! i got it back in 2019 with a 3840 x 2160 screen, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1 and 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. smh it managed to run sims 4 with all my mods, i played some old assassin's creed games, so I'd say its suitable for light gaming. Best of all, it has a metal casing and survived 3 falls (i even bent the motherboard smh and it's still working, but I've been told it'll kick the bucket soon). Now it started to glitch, lag horribly, and since my med books are pdf files, they dont load quickly (they're at least 1000 pages long and it take 30 minutes to load a chapter). This laptop tho is suprisingly light, so its highly portable. one more advantage is that it was pretty cheap for it's specs, around 3100 AED in a back to school sale lol. I also forgot the proper ventillation (not when i run my 53 GB sims 4 tho.. it overheats a lot O_o)
The laptop I need right now should be with a little higher specs, with this, i hope it wont lag with my 1000 page pdf books and 100+ tabs open when i do research, projects and open downloaded videos for my studies. I also need it with metal casing and more lightweight, cuz if i took it to uni or airports it might get squished and squeezed in metros and busses :-: And to also survive the possible horrible falls my poor HP went thru (he's a real hero for that LOL). Smh the most afforadable laptops with the specs i need were gaming laptops, though im worried about the weight.
As for the games, i dont mind if the laptop didnt support much of my high GB games cuz im mainly focusing on studies (except sims, it's my hobby to make a collection of hot sims :-:). As long as it wont overheat with sims4 and my huge pdfs, anything's fine.
My budget is max 4000 AED, but if i got it from amazon, then 4500 AED is also fine. I tried as much as I can to avoid gaming laptops, cuz that's not really my main purpose for a laptop. However, all of them had good specs with integrated graphics, so I stayed away from them. Also idk about 2 in 1s and touch screens. I doubt they'll live long and survive my falls.. :-: that's an actual serious issue with me omg T^T I know damn well if that thing falls, i just have to say goodbye to it. Also no metal casing :(
Thank you guys so much if you've read this far. I hope yall can help me with this. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd appreciate if you tell me about them! <3
