Gaming laptop update

When buying a gaming laptop a few things are important
1. Brand, this will determine if your laptop has any resell value, Clevo tends to be a good choice
2. Timing, it's important to buy (or not to buy) at the right time, a good example is the recent Clevo Pascal debacle, if you bought a $6000 laptop with dual 980m 5 months ago then you're out of luck as the new Pascal based Clevo is waaaay superior than the 980m but it costs roughly the same and the killer is that you can't upgrade 980m to Pascal 1080

Yet another example of bad timing would be if you bought Razer Blade a few months ago since the older one has 970m and the latest one has Pascal 1060, selling for the same price
