Hi

Budget: 4k maximum
Usage: Netflix, heavy singleplayer games, some internet browsing
Weight: doesn't matter

Battery life also doesn't matter--would def be plugged in all the time.

Anything with good value for money.

Prefer gaming laptop or regular laptop/Ultrabook

So you prefer gaming/performance laptop more? Max weight preferred in kg?

XPS 15 is...meh...the new one doesn't look good to me too

high sRGB or upgradeable RAM - choose 1 only

Mind low sRGB display?

Avoid Razer laptops at all costs

Hi currently have a 3-year-old ROG GL552VX
Got crack somewhere from fall, battery not working. Cannot run most newer releases. Windows 10 pun perpetually freezing/not responding for no specific reason.
Don't think I can sell for any decent price.

Need advice: should I upgrade a component (if possible, what?) OR just get whole new laptop?

GTX950m?

That thing is seriously underpowered in 2019.

Save up about 3k for a laptop with GTX1650, that should last quite a long time for you.

Thanks for the response! Considering the damage and faults my existing ROG has now, how much do you think I can get for it?
