What’s the laptop right now with the best “Quality × Performance / Price” ratio? I want to make sure every dollar I spend is worth it.
- My budget is around $2,000 ± $500.
- I’m fine upgrading the hardware myself
- don’t need Windows preinstalled if that saves me money
- at least 32GB of RAM.
- Size: any
- Screen: any
Basically, I’m looking for a high-performance, high-quality gaming laptop that worth its money.
Thank you for your suggestions!


I’m willing to go above 2000, 4k display is not really important to me and I care most about Quality × Performance / Price, is lenovo the best with its competitors regarding high Quality × Performance / Price?
In many Linux users opinion, yes. The Lenovo Thinkpad is goated. I’d share that opinion. Very happy with mine and it’s 6 years old. If it’s still in price range, see if you can find one with an AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, recent gens.
