What laptop to buy?

I'm in Canada where things seem to cost more. I researched different gaming laptops and ones that I could up grade to save some money. I got a basic Nitro 5 gaming laptop on Amazon that was $689.00 If you're not in Canada it will cost you less more than likely. I bought all the upgrades for it to max ram, and  1 terabytes of memory in both D: and E: drive. Lots of space to store my favorite games. I watched many video's on YouTube (which also told me what to buy)  to be able to do this correctly. This laptop also has 2 fans that really work to push the heat away from the laptop to keep it cooler. I also have an Alien (my first choice that I regret cause I don't find it as fast). I much prefer my Acer Nitro 5 over it for gaming. And boy did it ever cost a bunch less than that dang Alien.

Acer Nitro 5 RTX350 i5-11400h  (17.3" screen (1920x1080)  This was the original before I upgraded it. I think it cost about $150 to do all the upgrades that you can do a bit at a time. The ram is the most important one to upgrade first and then go from there. (buying one with the upgrades I added would have cost well over $1000 Installing the upgrades wasn't difficult.
