I work remote so I've rocked a gaming laptop for 15 years now
Currently using a 3 or 4 year old msi gs65 stealth. I generally bounce around with flavor of the week when I'm purchasing new ones. Owned dell, Lenovo, msi, hp, and Asus. They've all ran around the same shelf life (5 years)
Newegg generally has some solid gaming setups, and black Friday sales are coming
