According to my understanding, if I want this next buy to last a few years/as long as feasible while also being able to run games, I should look for something with 32 gigabytes of RAM.
I really like the ASUS Zephyr 14 inch one, however it only has 16 gigabytes, and I’m concerned that it may become obsolete/unable to run newer games in a few years. Or, at the very least, it will run, but with much more chop.
Another option is to wait till stronger processors are integrated into PCs later on. I don’t really follow the chip industry, so I’m not sure how frequently they update/upgrade what’s available.
The primary purpose is to increase the amount of time I can keep this computer, for whatever it may be. I’d like to to remain useable for gaming for as long as possible.
RTX 4080 Legion Pro 7 with AMD 7945HX + 32GB Ram + 2TB SSD, $1700 before tax on sale. While not having the zephyrus oled screen, if you plan to use it outside and not at night, you dont have to deal with the oled glossy glaring reflections and lower brightness of 350 nits. Also much higher performance than zephyrs as zephyruses have their tdp lowered because they use a thinner chassis.
