I am currently a PS5 Gamer and enjoy my console but work has me moving around frequently I want to explore PC gaming as Sony continues to make terrible decisions and it becomes increasingly annoying to move my TV and console when work has me going on little 9 month trips. What matters to me is durability, cooling, performance for gaming and college course work, and hopefully a laptop that can play my favorite games for a least 7 years until I am done with college and can buy my first home and feel comfortable setting up a PC build. I am willing to spend probably just shy of 3k to obtain this after discounts etc.
I have my eye on the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with a 5080 Configuration. I have looked at two listings online one with the Intel 9 257hx and the Ryzen 9 9955hx
Games that really interest me and I'd like to play smoothly are:
Elden Ring
ARMA III
Arc Raiders
Tarkov
Black Myth Wukong
Fallout series
I am not really competitive and don't need FPS battle station performance.
And I plan on pursuing a nursing degree so I just need a computer to accomplish standard tasks like papers and just standard coursework. I have never looked into computers before and have just learned what GPUs and CPUs are. Any advice is appreciated and thank you.
