Need advice on gaming laptop

[SvennoJ]

I'm using an Acer Predator laptop, 1060 GPU. It does the job, ran FS2020 quite decently, but one USB port has failed and several keys on the keyboard don't work anymore so I'm using an external keyboard with it :/ Gaming laptops get hot, the number keys can burn my fingers while flying... The 144hz screen is awesome though, wish it had a more durable keyboard.

Prices have gone up as well, a new model with 3060 card now casts CAD 2,300, then add memory upgrade. (I guess I can re-use the memory sticks from my current one and put the old 16GB back in this one). All custom decked out models are over CAD 4,000


Btw is a Intel Core i7-12700H actually better than the i7-8750H? As a gaming laptop I have to disable turbo to prevent thermal throttling and the thing going up to 95c. So I'm pretty much CPU limited in most cases. My current CPU runs at 2.2ghz, so going to 2.3ghz seems like a waste of money... But maybe the i7-12700H runs much cooler and will survive with boost on?
