WTTF: Gaming laptop. I've got non-gaming laptops, storage servers, etc.

[burritoincognito]

I've been trying to pivot away from my more "homelab network" setup for a while, but I've honestly not really cared enough to try that hard, given that I've been out of town more than I've been in.

Looking at a new setup, I could spend hundreds on a new gaming Ryzen system, but honestly, I see a new cell phone and a new tankless water heater in my nearer future...and that will cut into my actual funds.

So, thanks to migrating away from some things with the home lab and reorganizing to take advantage of the quad core NUCs and old leftover parts pulled from failed upgrade attempts, I don't really need a lot of the stuff I've had.

What I do need, however, is something that lets me play some video games, watch videos in bed, and doesn't come out of my checking account. 1060 plus, 1070 preferred. Good speakers, good screen. I returned the Dell G5 that I had because the colors were washed out and the speakers were terrible.

I'll post pictures as soon as I find a viable host. The last one I used (Photobucket) has just turned terrible.
