Im looking for a good, quality gaming laptop. My desktop just died, and to be honest, I know its cheaper to fix it, and replace the parts that died, but I need more portability now than desktop power.
I would like something comparable to what I had, if not better.

My desktop was an AMD Threadripper, first model lower end one, I can't remember which one but it was the first they came out with. Was a great processor!
64gb Ram
nVidia gtx 1080

I know I won't find a laptop with that high of ram, and I also realize that was way too much for what I need, Im thinking 16 would be sufficient.

Im failure with the intel and Nvidia specs, but not the AMD or radeon side, I have heard they are doing much better right now. Opinions?

Im failure with brands like ASUS, Razer, MSI. Ive owned ASUS laptops before, good quality. Never had a Razer laptop, although I switched my peripherals from Logitech to them awhile ago, got tired of my Logi equipment always breaking, Razer seemed to last a lot longer and perform much better. For this reason, I have been eyeing a Razer laptop, however I am seeing a lot of people complain about them, what's with that? Are their laptops junk? Im seeing people say they are switching to Alienware, I remember before Dell bought them out they were overpriced junk, have not kept up on information about them since the Dell purchase, are they still overpriced Junk??

Whats with brands like Acer, and Lenovo stepping into the gaming realm? When I used to work in IT Acer was always a cheap monitor company, that went into computers but they were always cheap. You get what you buy. I used to work on so many Acer computers, always breaking. And Lenovo was always the business laptop. Built solid, always worked but was never anything more than a business computer. Thoughts on them?

Just looking to get solid info before I dump a bunch of money on what I hope to be a desktop replacement, and my primary gaming computer.
