What's your max budget?

What are you using it for?

 

[CarlChambers587]

Mainly just gaming but recently made some changes to what its says above. It has 2666mh instead of 2400mh ram speed now but still 32 gb.
Google chrome instead of edge.
Added a second M2 drive of 500 gb same brand as the first one samsung.
Added Dead pixel for a year.
I can't have a PC because of space so the laptop is really the only answer.

Personally I would suggest you do a quick search on TongFang chassis on this forum and you will see that they have recently been prone to a few issues. Flaking keyboard (as I am suffering myself) and performance issues when on battery (possibly resolved but not sure).

Also have a read of the AMD v Intel informative post: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/amd-vs-intel.72675/

As such, you may want to wait to see if Clevo chassis release a 1440p screen with AMD Ryzen processor - not sure how far off they are but someone did post that it wasnt that far away I think.

If however you are going ahead with the above, then my suggestions would be:

- faster RAM if its available (which I see you have done).
- remove Bullguard - has been known to cause issues and Windows Defender is as good nowadays.

you say you have added a 500 gig drive of the same brand - samsung.

I must admit that for a few quid less I would have probably gone for the 1TB PCS drive just to have that extra space now but appreciate its personal choice.
