Hi,
I'm looking for a new gaming laptop preferably one with a large 17" screen. Now I'm not very tech savvy and the laptop I have is pretty old. The laptop I currently have is a 2013 Asus notebook series that has intel i7 core and a Nvidia geforce 750m and was able to upgrade it to windows 10 software.  I play mostly indie games on Steam and some Blizzard games like Overwatch. I'm overwhelmed on what I'm looking for. Any suggestions or advice? Thank You

    Greetings. What is your budget and which Micro Center store would you be nearest to so we can check the stock of their location to see what options they may have?

    So here's the gaming  laptops we have with a 17" screen: https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=4294967288+4294818187+596&NTK=all&sortby=pricelow&storeid=085

    Out of these, I would suggest this one which is right at your price point before taxes: https://www.microcenter.com/product/625298/acer-predator-helios-300-ph317-54-75jg-173-gaming-laptop-computer---black

    They are all pretty similar, but the Acer has the most RAM of the ones right in this price range, they all mainly have an i7-10850 processor and either a 2060/2070, but this is the same price as others with double the RAM and still has a quality 144hz screen, along with a 1 TB SSD.

    Okay how does it compare to - Alienware - m17 R3 - 17.3" FHD Gaming Notebook - 300Hz - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER - 1TB SSD - Lunar Light  ? How does this compare to the one you recommend?

    They look to have similarities. Intel Core i7-10750H Processor 2.6GHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design 8GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR4-2933 RAM; 1TB Solid State Drive
    However, the one that you shared has a higher refresh rate screen, 16GB less RAM but it appears to have a desktop version of the 2070 Super instead of a 2070 Max-Q design.
    So there are some notable differences.
