    From my experience

    laptops don't last long, consider buying a PC.

    had a laptop with 8 gb ram, an i5 GPU With 3.1 GHz, and a sh*tty intel hd graphics card, and it only lasted me 4 months and i bought it brand new.

    a school laptop?

    So your buying a school laptop, and not a gaming one?

    I tried download beamng to mine, and it said " not enough storage" and i only had adobe premire pro 2018 on my computer, and some google doc documents for other stuff.

    i see, a gaming laptop is probably want you want. a gaming laptop can do school work very fast and it can game.

    (i now realized you want a gaming laptop, i'm dumb)

    But avoid ANYTHING With an intel graphics, because a lot of work pcs have that, and school ones.

    At this price tag a laptop doesn't worth it.
    You'll get better perfomances from buying a desktop + a cheap laptop for around the same price. Check this video :


    If you really want a laptop for gaming, try to get a second hand Lenovo W530 i7 for around 300-400€. You should get similar perfomances, maybe even better for well cheaper. W5xx lenovo laptop are known to be strong and reliable. Can't go wrong with those.

    Now if you really want that other laptop, don't expect getting more than 40fps in medium with 3 cars.
