I researched the best gaming laptops as my old one completely died on me right before finals week and I need something that can handle both heavy gaming and video editing without lagging. i have been experiencing constant crashes during games like Cyberpunk and even basic stuff like Zoom was stuttering. i went through reviews from trusted sources like NotebookCheck, Reddit’s r/LaptopDeals, and TechRadar and after comparing many options these three kept coming up as the top choices:
Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop

ASUS ROG Strix Gaming Laptop

HP Victus FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop

however i am having trouble deciding which one would be better for me and i would love to get your expert advice and hoping maybe some gamers or IT guys on this forum can also share their advice.
i usually play for 4-5 hours straight and also run Adobe Premiere a lot plus i move the laptop between home and campus daily so portability kinda matters. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
The ASUS by far the RTX5060 is better & newer then 4050 & the 2050 in the ACER is already out dated. I would go with ASUS or MSI laptop
Based on what I’m seeing your needs are, I would highly recommend the ASUS Rog Strix for gaming purposes. I know it’s a high cost, but performance is important for your needs.
The ASUS one would be the best one.
I suggest looking at Costco, they usually have great deals on laptops that are up to 500 USD off the price.
Otherwise, the ROG like other people are saying.
Also have you tried cleaning out your laptop?
Found 2 on Newegg that fit your needs

I went with AMD CPUs cause they tend to use less power the intel that leads better battery time/life & better cooling Hope it helps
Overall it seems like the ASUS ROG Strix or a similar ASUS MSI model with an RTX 4060/5060 is going to be the best match for my gaming + Premiere workflow. Thanks again for all the help you all made the decision a lot easier
Glad to help! Happy shopping!
I have been using the Acer Nitro V for a couple months now and for the price its a steal runs Fortnite and League at high settings without breaking a sweat thanks to the RTX 4050 and 16GB RAM. The 144Hz screen is buttery smooth, but the plastic build feels a bit cheap and gets warm during long sessions.Overall solid entry level gaming rig for casuals like me 8/10.
I am user of hp Victus laptop most reliable and no issue at all so happy using it
I also suggest if your wifi is good, you can remote desktop with a crappy one and then invest in a nice desktop.
