    Hi there,
    I’ve decided I want to travel with my work and I’m looking to get a PC laptop. Does anyone know a good laptop setup that would be good for this? I’m done with Apple – way too expensive for very little specs. Budget is around $4000

    We currently have a mix of Republic of Gamers and Razer laptops that are working nicely.

    I suggest getting an i7 or better with a pretty high clockrate, as much RAM as you can stuff into the machine (some top out at 16 GB, and going higher can give you noticeably better performance), at least a mid-grade GPU, and the biggest NVMe drive you can afford.

    One big warning: the more powerful the machine (especially the GPU), the less battery life you should expect.
