Laptop recommendations?
The laptop I use for TS3 is now 5 years old and seriously struggling so I think it's time to buy a new one. Can anyone recommend some that will play TS3 on high settings. I have all the packs and lots...

The two in my last post are better for exactly one reason: they have a 2060 instead of a 1660 ti. The 2060 is about 12% better in terms of gaming, and when the difference between laptops with the two cards was $100, it seemed like a worthwhile upgrade. But at $200, that depends on your own preferences. The 1660 ti will run Planet Zoo well, and the 2060 will run it better. TS3 won't notice the difference. (TS2 is its own special cookie no matter what GPU you have.)
If you want to play Planet Zoo at a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz—some people notice a difference, others don't—the 2060 is worth it. (If you're curious, go to a Best Buy, find a 60 Hz and a 144 Hz monitor, open a File Explorer window, and drag it around the screen as fast as the mouse will move. If you don't see the difference there, you wont in-game either.) If you want the extra storage, the Lenovo's a great deal. If neither of these matter to you, then maybe the 2060 isn't worth the higher price.
For what it's worth, the Lenovo has pretty impressive in-game performance given its price. The only laptops with a 2060 that beat it are significantly more expensive. The MSI is a couple percentage points behind (it varies depending on the game), but not enough to be a huge deal.
