Predator Triton 14

You are going to be switching dorms every 3 to 6 months. I would rather get a 14" touchscreen equipped gaming laptop to support my entertainment needs. A big ass monitor, keyboard and monitor makes it easier to swap around. Then there's life onboard a ship or submarine. Can't exactly haul a desktop

Having used soldered 16GB of RAM for school and gaming, it’s awful. I constantly multitask on my computer and if I have chrome open, MATLAB, and whatever IDE I’m using, it lags and freezes like crazy since the RAM reaches 100% usage. It’s even worse if you game. Never settle for less than 32gb unles

It depends on which gaming laptop we're talking about; personally I really like the thin & light gaming laptops, stuff like: HP Omen Transcend 14 Acer Predator Triton 14 Asus Zephyrus G14/G16 Lenovo Legion 7 PS - the ProArt P16 is just a black Zephyrus G16 with AMD instead of Intel😉

Not all gaming laptops are heavy and bulky. Ex. Asus Zephyrus G14, Acer Predator Triton 14 and HP Transcend., these laptops are slim and weight as much as a MacBook Air or Pro. Only downside is maybe battery and heat / noise.
