Hey guys/gals,
My boss is giving me a $1,000 budget to purchase a “work laptop” and I wanted the most bang for the buck. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

What work do you do? Do you plan on sneaking in some games? If so, what games?
why does it matter what i do for work? lol. And any games. wow, cod, session, stuff like that.
my work gave me a laptop with the following:
Intel® Core™ i5-8350U processor, 6 MB, 1.7 GHz, up to 3.6 GHz
16GB DDR4
256 SSD
it has the Intel® UHD Graphics 620 GPU and it's bad at playing WoW on medium settings. The fan is almost always going while playing (basic questing).
I wish it had a Ryzen APU in it.
Does your work require anything beyond email/web browsing/Microsoft Office is what Temp is trying to figure out.
I would agree with Temp Boss, you will need to describe what you need in the machine.. is it requiring hard drive space, GPU/CPU for gaming/video editing, do you need a light and thin laptop with insane battery life, etc etc
Please let us know

So you are not requiring anything but good CPU/GPU for gaming correct?

May check this out if you like dell:
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/gami...op/gn3590dovds
979$ (Now this is before tax though so..)
9th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-9300H (8MB Cache, up to 4.1 GHz, 4 cores)
Windows 10 Home 64-bit English
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design, 6GB GDDR6
8GB 2x4GB DDR4 2666MHz
512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
I guess for me, for a unit under 1k the one I linked is a decent choice/and new: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/gami...op/gn3590dovds
Otherwise, brands to look at: ASUS is nice as well, but yeah personally I'd go with a brand you like OR go with a build your own like the dell gaming rig above (I own all ASUS machines because I always get super good black friday deals, they have insane specifications, and if you can hold out: Black Friday deals are incredible for tech)
My friend was saying look into a HP Omen laptop, any pros cons on that one by chance?
I picked up the omen laptop, will be here tomorrow. Stoked to see how it is!
At a 1000 dollars I hope you got;
8GB ram, hopefully in dual channel.
A good 8th gen intel or the newer gen2 or gen3 AMD CPU like a 3500u
Nvme ssd 500gb, or at least 128
A long with a good build quality, ISP screen and not some horrid plastic feeling keyboard :P I need some travel on my laptop keyboard.
