Laptops aren't cheap, and become outdated pretty quickly.

It's not a matter of what Lemon wants you to do. He's just letting you know that your choices are either 1) shit, or 2) really fucking expensive.

An Alienware 18 is the closest I can find to meeting the minimum requirements for TPP (and still falling short on the CPU speed), and the price is $4,650.Gaming laptops are simply nowhere in the ballpark of being cost-efficient.

There are laptops that come bundled with TPP worth half that.

Alienware is overpriced crap.A laptop with similar specs from another company will still have a very hefty price tag, though.It really isn't worth it, tbh.You have 3 choices1) Bite the bullet and throw a couple grand at a laptop 2) Buy a cheaper, much weaker laptop 3) Don't buy one
I know it's obvious (at least I hope it is), but don't get Alienware. Ever.It's just an overpriced brand name that should never be considered.
Probably what Gatsby said last I checked newegg that model of MSI is listed for like $1800 and the 970m can do most modern games last I checked its benchmarks
