So the old one I am on is currently dying a slow death. 7 years has been a good run, time to upgrade.
Now I am not sure were to go form here as i7 back in the day mean it was better than an i5, but now reading it all depends on cores threads etc and i7 may not be better than an i5 that is designed differently.
I was also reading some laptop have mobile gpus and some have desktop spec gpus
The other issue is, Australia gets slightly different models to USA, so here are my options

ASUS in the past have always had poor wifi, so i need something that has a good wifi chipset.
Other needs:
- Good for live stream and video editing
- Playback of x265
- ideally would like for it to last say 5 years
- Would love to game on it but don't want it becoming irrelevant in a couple years. Would like it to at least last 3-4 years gaming wise
I was looking at the MSI models, as an example and there is so many model numbers now it makes it hard to know what's what lol
is there any new tech on the horizon that will be a game changer meaning I should hold off getting one for the next 6 to 12months?
