Would like opinions on which is better...

If you have any recommendations on other gaming laptops please mention them.

Not really biased on manufacturers. Just has to be a laptop.

Thanks for reading!

zypherus g14

its all depends on use case either of these will manage anything thrown at it from a consumer POV.

what do you want to use the laptop for? gaming? video editing?

ive got a 3060 nitro and if 1080p gaming is ur choice, then there is no need in spending massive cash.

Mainly gaming.
I'm currently using a MSI GT73 Titan
came with a 1070. I think the video card is burnt out because it gets very laggy when I play the most basic games like League.
I've had this laptop for about 5 years now so I think its time for a upgrade.

Just preparing to buy a laptop to play D4 in max spec!

The 4080 best buy pc is a good deal for 2.5k

If you want to go cheaper the z14 is 1300 its ryzen 9 6th gen with a 6800s gpu. Compared with the 4080. The 4080 is 50% stronger. So its up to you ill look more into the 6800s because maybe the numbers are wrong.
