Just want a solid gaming laptop (reddit.com)

My mom likes to play No Man's Sky and Valheim, but her Asus TUF started freezing on games. RMA found no problems and sent it back to her but it still happens. I ordered a Legion for her but now I see these posts about all Nvidia 40-series laptops freezing up. What's a gaming mom supposed to do?

Exactly. It's a niche, but it's a legitimate niche. I needed a "portable desktop" that could run games as well as Solidworks simulations, and a gaming laptop was perfect for me.

It's a Samsung Series 7 Gamer, and it's lasted me 11 years so far (yes, you read that right). If I could go back and do anything differently, I would unplug the battery to preserve it for the rare instances when I actually needed it.
