PC Laptop recommendation

[captainslack]

I’m looking to buy my first real gaming laptop, primarily to play 7 Days, and I don’t quite know where to start. Any suggestions on models or particular hardware I should look for? 
 

And to head off the inevitable comments, yes, I would prefer to have a desktop over a laptop, but I simply have no where to set one up, so a laptop it is.

Edit: Guess it would help if I set a budget, huh? I’m looking to spend up to a $1000US, possibly a little over for the right deal. I’m not a power gamer by any means, so I’m not looking anything top of the line.

HP Victus under 1000 about 700 plays the game for me.  Without a hitch.  med settings ofcourse.  Best deal out there IMO. Model 15-fb1xxx

AMD Ryzen5 Nvidia GForce RTX 2050 16gb.  Since you have more cash, try to get the one with 3050 and 32gb.

You forgot to mention your actual location, as your local prices may vary dependant on your location 

As of hardware: definitely go for AMD 5xxx 7xxx series, anything over 6 cores would do the trick, the higher the max GHz, the better, guess last Ryzen 5 (6/7 gen) go up to 5Ghz and can firmly keep em turboing. and would strongly suggest going at least 3060 for gpu, 3070/4070 would be preferable. A decent SSD is a must and yeah, at least 16 GB  RAM, no 8GBs would save you today, but 32 would.

Something like Lenovo LOQ 15APH8 would probably do the trick technical wise, but have no idea what would be the price for one at your local traders. BTW im not a fan of Lenovo, no rocks please, just an example of config.

And yes, you can definitely add more RAM later on, but you can't swap a GPU out.
