Thinking About Getting New Laptop

[Omega83]

Hi guys. My birthday is next month, and I am floating around the idea/thought about getting a new gaming laptop. My current one is starting to show it's age, and I feel that I am unable to play newer, more demanding games such as Borderlands 4. I have had my current laptop for about 4-5 years, and it has held up fairly well, even though it's price at the time of purchase was close to $4k. I have purchased majority of my laptops from Xotic PC. Here are the specs of my laptop:

- Windows 11 64-bit OS
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX @ 3.30 GHz
- Nvidia RTX 3080 with 16GB VRAM
- 2560*1440 Native Res (Non 4k screen)
- 64GB System RAM
- 2x 4TB SSDs

What is a good price range to look for, and what should I look for in a gaming laptop? I really don't want to spend another $4k, and price range I am hoping for is around 1-2k, or less if possible. Thoughts and help greatly appreciated

I read Lenovo has a new prototype of what they call a Legion Pro "Rollable" Laptop. It is a high end model with RTX 5090 and the screen can be adjusted from 16" to 24" with a push of a button. Since they call it "rollable", and the screen is fairly thick for a latest gen laptop, I assume it uses one of those flex screen super thin OLEDs like the LG OLED TV that has it's screen hidden in a box, then rolls upwards out of it when in use.

Again, these are just a concept at this point, and if they do hit the market, they will no doubt be very expensive. Lenovo however is known for packing a lot of features into laptops at prices lower than most competitors, so there might still be hope for those who aren't ultra wealthy.

The Legion Pro Rollable is mentioned at the :55 mark.
