Instead of investing in an Xbox Series or PS5 I'm looking to buy a new laptop capable of gaming, basic video editing and for basic business use. I currently have a 2016 model Acer Aspire R15 2 in 1 which has been decent but is starting to show its age in the last year and is borderline unusable as even a basic PC at times. I paid $200 on a fire sale for the Acer in late 2016 but it was a $850 laptop brand new at that time, it's worth around $300-$450 used now, so I'm starting away from that budget and lower end laptops. I have spent many years selling laptops professinally, but they're all really low end and basic(usually under $120)for people just looking to get on facebook or youtube, so I don't know much about gaming or business level laptops. Can anyone recommend a laptop from 2019, 2020 or 2021 that meets the following specs:
-Under $800 or less USD(may go up to $1,000 max if the rig is right)
-Must be able to play newer games on at least moderate settings. My current laptop barely plays Shenmue 3 on the lowest settings, runs Mortal Kombat 2011 perfectly fine but runs hot and The Medium 2021 starts up but is unplayable to give some insight.
-Intel i7 Processor or better(AMD would be ok too as long as it's equivalent to Intel i7 or better)
-Windows 10 only(no Mac/Chromebook or Linux)
-Gaming level graphics card
-15.6" display ideal, 17" is ok too. Nothing smaller than 15.6"
-Preferably Acer, MSI, Dell or Lenovo, but open to other brands possibly
-Preferably a 2 in 1 conversion with touchscreen, but not required
Thanks!
