I’m not knowledgeable in laptops. I’d always been a Mac girly and ended up buying a pc laptop a few years ago. The Best Buy employee was raving about an Asus ROG Zephyrus M16. I wanted to take a laptop home that day so I unfortunately didn’t do any research on it.

A few months after I bought it, the keyboard stopped working. I did what the internet recommended and it worked for a few times then stopped again. Basically hasn’t worked since then. I didn’t have warranty so I said fuck it and have been using a mouse and keyboard since then but now the battery is starting to go. The max charge it gets when charging is 80% so I think it’s time to switch to something else.

Pleaaase help.

So, after researching for a few hours I found these two laptops on sale in my closest best buy, and I wanted to know if these are good deals, or too good to be true. I have a very limited budget and I was looking for an affordable laptop that isn't too expensive and that has a graphics card.

The maximum amount of money I'm considering to spend is 700 dollars, but I would strongly prefer a laptop for a bit less. If the laptop is reeeally good for 700 dollars then of course, it would be just fine.

Are open box versions of these laptops worth the cheaper price?

Any suggestions are very much appreciated :)

So this just happened and it’s really my final straw with Apple. I’m not a huge gamer, I mostly just like to play Minecraft and Overcooked, cozy games. However, Macbooks can only handle so much. I’ve been doing research on gaming laptops but they all look like more than I need. I don’t even know if I should get a gaming laptop or just a regular laptop that is better than Macs. Please help I’m about to lose my sanity.
