    Hey all, I'm looking for an entertainment laptop for college with the highest specs possible so I can keep up with gaming and won't have to upgrade for a while (within reason, ideally around $2000). I would expect a good entertainment laptop to be large enough to be a hassle transporting at college, so I would also consider a cheap portable laptop/gaming desktop combo, but I game with the computer on my stomach and it would be a real pain to change stances at this point. If you can't already tell, I know next to nothing about computers, so even being pointed in the right direction in terms of research resources would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
