Need some laptop recommendations that can run val at 240fps minimum at 1080p (no need for good display, will be using external monitor).

Aayan [#3]what else will u be using it for, heavily depends on that cuz ur defo compromising a lot for that kinda fps
probably other games such as r6 or single player games, not much else. I have a mac for schoolwork/career so this one is probably purely for gaming purposes.
LAMENTOCE [#9]Wouldn't it be better just to buy a PC? Unless you're travelling a ton then yeah understandable
Im gonna be traveling between uni and home a lot and also med school hopefully so yea I need portability. For the last two years ive been disassembling/reassembling my pc every time which is annoying

Are you commuting daily or are you staying in a dorm then occasionally coming back to your dorm?

I stay in an apartment/dorm and return home (6 hr flight) every winter break and summer which I guess is not really "a lot", but I would prefer not having to take my pc apart or ship it to play games when I'm home

Are you gonna strictly game on it or are you going to do any projects or study with it as well?
Something with 4070/7800XT minimum if you want to reliably squeeze 240fps from a laptop. Get something large and beefy and well-ventilated, but at that point, might as well get a real PC. Something like this will run you 1000 bucks, which honestly, is a decent deal, considering the GPU itself still costs upward of 600 nowadays.
If you're not price conscious, the Legion 5i is probably everything you could ask for in a laptop. Probably much better value than a PC of equivalent hardware. Of course, you compromise upgradeability always.

mostly game, I have a macbook that I use for schoolwork

honestly based off ur reply to me and this, i'd say u should get another PC
I think itll end up costing you around the same for a laptop that can drive those frames

Thanks, about how long should I be able to consistently use these until they start to decline below 240fps? The reason I don't want to get a pc is bc I travel often from uni to home and its a hassle to transport my old pc

Yeah, I'm just not a huge advocate for gaming laptops. A PC is extra effort but at the same time its just more bang for your buck and it doesn't dip in performance as quickly.
Since you're going into med school then you might not have has much time as you think you do to game (but that's just my take idk how intense med schools are in the states cause I do engineering instead in AUS and I just don't have as much time to game) and it wouldn't be great to let your laptop or PC (whichever one you go for) collect dust for a while.

engineering based, will start next year hopefully
also a PC is much easier to sell, even 7 years down the line compared to a laptop

why not get a pc instead then

If you're talking hardware degradation, it depends on the make, but you're looking at 5+ years. Laptops are quite hardy nowadays if you don't abuse them. The 4070 laptops usually run Valorant at 400fps max settings when given proper juice, so you'd have quite some headroom.
If you're talking consecutive hours of use, heat will be the primary bottleneck. 240fps @ 1080p is not particularly demanding to maintain, but you may have to consult specific reviews to see their thermal performances.
