My laptop is 7 years old starting to show it's age. I'm worried it will die soon so I've been looking for a replacement, but DAMN are decent laptops expensive these days.

I would like something powerful enough to play stuff like Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3 and FF:7 Rebirth (And most importantly, Monster Hunter Wilds when it comes out) at a decent framerate. It also has to be a university laptop, so nothing covered in RGB lights that looks like an Alienware fucked a Cybertruck, please.

I don't want to spend a ton of money, but am I being unrealistic? I don't want to spend 5000 on a computer, that's ridiculous, my car cost less than that.

Yes it's a shitty car, that's not the point. Stop judging my poor ass.

Have a look at Infinity branded laptops. They're an Aussie rebrand of a Chinese OEM. Decent spec gaming laptops in the 1-3k range, subtle (IMO) design with the only RGB being in the keyboard. Intel or AMD, shipping with 40xx GPUs now. I got one from mwave about four years back and don't regret it.
