Laptop suggestions?

Misery

Yeah, looking to get a new laptop.

But after a mere 5 minutes of browsing the things, I'm just about ready to stab a clown. As a rule I *loathe* dealing with hardware, which includes shopping for it. It's why I generally dont upgrade my PCs until whatever I had been using just falls apart. So... yeah I know almost nothing about that aspect. I do the software side of things, not hardware.

My current PC is fine, this is mostly for when travelling, and it occurs to me that I could maybe offload some of what I would normally do on the PC onto the laptop, since the PC is perpetually out of space. It'll probably get used a decent amount here at home too, I suppose.

I use these things for gaming, but also rendering, and the rendering is usually the big drain. Fractals are complicated.

I dont care at all about display resolution... I'm used to my 1920x1080 monitor here. I do care about size though. Bigger screen and keyboard is better. Particularly since I'm used to typing on an enormous blocky keyboard

Dont care about aesthetics, the thing could look like a concrete brick for all I care.

I'd be curious as to how any given machine compares to the PC I'm using as well. This thing is an i9-12900k, with an RTX 3090.

I dont know how anyone browses these things without going mad. I swear all the names and descriptions of them just read as total gibberish to me.

Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have a high end ASUS ROG STRIX I use for high-end Photoshop work and video editing. Works well enough for me.
