Apparently it's Prime Deal Day or something in Amazon, if anyone is considering buying a new laptop (self.gaminglaptops)

I had just bought the Zephyrus M16 for 2700 bucks. But for some reason it didn't get dispatched yet, so I just noticed they have this prime deal day thing on Amazon(.de, the German one, not sure about other Amazons) where I got it. It's now 2080 bucks (wtf!). So I cancelled my order and ordered again. Just an FYI, good time to buy I guess, lots of other laptops are on huge discounts with prime (I just got a trial, I'll unsubscribe later lol).

Just pulled the trigger on the Zephyrus M16, I sincerely hope I didn't make a mistake. (self.gaminglaptops)

I had a normal ThinkPad T590, for work. But I recently dropped it and the screen is busted, thought it's better I buy something new than pay to repair. Since I'm already knees deep in image analysis, which requires a crap ton of RAM, a strong CPU and ideally a semi decent GPU, and just started getting into python coding, thought why not get a gaming laptop, it'll make my life easier. Of course I already have access to a beast of a workstation, but sometimes it's booked and you wanna do some work on your own laptop. Anyway, I saw the Zephyrus and thought it looks good, excellent RAM (32GB and can be upgraded to 48), excellent i9 (12900H), and of course the beloved 3080 Ti (and 2TB of SSD is greet for when I have to work because single images can be up to 4 GB sometimes).

What do you guys think? I'm fkn poor, I'm a researcher afterall, so I got this on installments from Amazon, please tell me I didn't do an impulsive purchase.

Which gaming laptop brand has the best trackpad? (self.gaminglaptops)

Hi! I'm looking at buying my first gaming laptop, but I have a preference that most people don't seem to care about: I want the trackpad to be really good.

I know that most people game with a mouse, which is understandable, but I don't always want to use one. I'm used to the amazing trackpads on Macbooks, and I'm wondering what the best trackpads in the PC laptop world are.

I've tried out an Asus ROG Zephyrus at my local Best Buy, and so far, that one seems to be the best. Are there any other brands that I should look out for?

Thanks!
