I’m currently on an MSI GF65 Thin 9SEXR. It has a 9th gen core i5, 8GB RAM, and a geforce rtx2060 graphics card. While it’s been a great daily driver for several years now, it’s definitely starting to show it’s age with newer games and such.

I’ve currently got my eyes on the ASUS TUF series of laptops, because they seem like pretty decent quality. The chassis design seems more intuitive with where the ports are located, and other small details that make ease of use a priority. I like that it has a numberpad as well, and I’d consider this one of my necessities going forward.

My main uses will be moderate gaming, 3D design, and general browsing/productivity. I’d also like to dump windows for Linux as well, but I’m not entirely sure that I’m ready to make that jump yet. I’ve got very minimal experience with alternative operating systems to windows.

I don’t know much about AMD’s hardware, so I’m not sure how the designations compare to what I currently have. If anyone could give me an easy rundown to get me up to date I’d appreciate it too.
