Looking to buy a new gaming laptop, which brands are reliable for long term use? My budget is around a 1000USD equivalent (I’m not in US) . Reliability of not having damages and repairs in foremost for me at this budget.

which brands are preferred, and avoided?

    Unfortunately, I’m not certain there are any laptops that can reasonably meet your expectations. There are “gaming” laptops for $1000, but to be frank, you’ll really need to go significantly above $1000 for anything remotely close to decent performance in games.

    I encourage you to think about whether you need the portability and whether you need a gaming laptop. Desktops tend to be significantly more cost-effective, and if size is a concern, you can have a small-form-factor desktop. With $1000, you can build a mid-high desktop. I should also point out that you don’t need to pick just one or the other. I have a desktop (that I use for gaming and most work), and I bring a laptop with me for if I just need to have a computer where I go.
