You could look here as well , sometimes you can find their products on amazon.com as well on sale, or with upgraded ram at no extra cost.
They have everything from Budget to expensive, Good laptop Design for looks and durability. All of the screens they use are not only HD, but high Quality as well.
( which means no broken internal ribbons after 3-5 years or weak hinges ect )
The warrenty is nice to have too just in case.
As far as your list
Acer Nitro 5 - is pretty good, you will see a lot of bad reviews from users who need a " book for dummy's " as they have issues that can be resolved with a driver / software update.
Razer In general - looks nice, expensive , durability is mid-high , performance is mid ,
Very Random 1 out of every 1,000 keyboards & laptop keyboards have a bug with driver , have to perform a master reset sometimes like once every 2 years.
There are videos on it. Just annoying though.
Alienware By Dell , 100% crap don't waste your time or money.
asus zeph - Price is high , Performance is mid- high , durability is mid
----------
I think acer nitro 5 or a sager laptop would probably be your 2 best bets, as they have both been around and are commonly known, and its easy to obtain the latest drivers for your hardware all on the main website.
CPU Intel - i3,5,7,9 The higher the number usually the better. They measure in 4,6,8,10 MB of Chache on the L2(layer 2) memory chip of the CPU.
Then they measure the speed in Gigahertz ) so 4.0ghz of 4MB would be the same as 2.0ghz of 8mb. , its just 2.0ghz of 8mb would be better because it gives you a bigger opportunity to overclock and produces less heat.
And uses less electricity in laptops, in addition to less stress / longer lasting .
Graphics card/chip goes like this
GTX 500,600,700,800,900, 1000 series Great performance from 2012 -2016
GTX 1600 series 2015-2017 similar performance, more ram $50 more.
RTX 2000 series , they added Ray-Light Tracting , which is artificial lighting in games.
RTX 3000 series , they updated ther performance to handle that Light Feature , and also made artificial Graphics to help gain performance.
RTX 4000 Series, 2022 Latest product, 50% more performance than the 3000 series, and Upgraded Artificial Graphics.
DirectX - Is the Graphics/Shaders - Improves the deail of a Body/Face of a person or object. - Best way i can explain it.
DirectX 4/5 was common in older games in the early 2000's
Direct x 8/9 was common in 2007-2009 games.
Direct X 10 for 2010
Direct X 11/12 - For some of the newer HD Games ( Even most of the new games today only use Direct X 10 ) But its just nice to have the newer Graphics cards that support it, that way your not outdated in the next 4-5 years .
