Does anyone have recommendations for a dev/work (but bonus if it's decent for gaming) laptop?
It's hard to find many recs that aren't pushing the bleeding edge gaming laptops (the Razer Blade 16 seems to come up, but it's $3500 CAD 🫠)

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.
