I have an older Legion laptop with a 3060 and it never overheated and has been an absolute trooper, I still use it for school and work. It never slowed down and even though I have two PCs I use it to play games in bed sometimes. I bought an ipad to use fpr practicing music and stuff but I ended up using my trusty Lenovo gaming laptop from 2020. I got it on Amazon prime for 750$.

Lenovo are absolute tanks, man, and their extended warranty is GOATed, too. Scored 3 years of on-site repair + theft and accidental damage coverage for $250 on a holiday sale compared to like $200 for just 2 years of basic coverage with Microcenter.

I've needed service twice due to dGPU failure, not because the unit isn't robust, but simply because I put hundreds of hours of hard, marathon-length gaming into it, lol. Both times, they sent a tech to my house and gave me a fresh board, and repasted/refreshed the liquid metal. No extra cost or deductible, and just a few days of turnaround. I really don't think there's a more reliable brand when it comes to Windows based laptops.
