Be wary of buying a gaming laptop for work stuff. I did that a few years back to get the computing power I needed to edit media at a reasonable price.
Gaming laptops are the epitome of planned obsolescence. They're intended for people who are on a steep, constant upgrade path.
The case literally crumbled to pieces, with plastic crumbs ending up in the cooling fans, and the other inner workings.
Listening to others, my experience is not unique.
Also, these experiences cover several well-known name brands.
I'm not naming them on purpose, but I'll just say that my own choice was from an established company with a strong reputation.
I should add that I'm pretty gentle with my gear -- it was not mistreated.
The gaming laptop segment is built to a price point, and it shows.
I have a solution if you're on a budget: buy a used workstation-class laptop. They're certainly more heavy and clunky, but they'll last for a good, long time.
