Hi there promo,

If you can afford it, I recommend this laptop - https://slickdeals.net/f/15416176-msi-gf65-gaming-laptop-15-6-144hz-i5-10500h-512gb-ssd-rtx-3060-850-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

It can run the games you’ve listed really well, also if it’s out your budget you can get a 3050 for about 30% cheaper,
I can keep digging I just need a price range.

Hope this helps

Anywhere from 800-1k
I already have a $3500 rig at home
Just need something to be able to play on at work. Wifi ready as there are so many security blocks in our internet.

Preferably want a better cpu than the one you listed has. Maybe i7? If available.

Hmmm

You don't really need much better of a CPU if your just running a game and discord at the same time,

If you need multi-threading, then ofc a better cpu is needed but for your use case the best bang for buck thats out right now is the one i listed.

Sounds good, there’s a few alternatives to the one I suggested so if you change your mind let me know I can help you find another one.
