i've used that exact blade 17 config. the 3080 ti mobile still holds up well at 1440p - think 100+ fps in most games with high settings. the 12th gen intel is showing age a bit but not terrible. for $1350 it's a decent deal but check battery health first. if you want new with warranty, the ASUS ROG

I have an Asus RoG Strix G16 laptop with 32GB and an RTX 5070 GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. It is more than adequate and will be more portable than a desktop, if that is a consideration.
