I am an incoming analyst at a BB which doesn't provide company laptops. I also have some work from home flexibility. I also like to play PC games. I believe I should have a desktop computer at home, as well as a laptop in case I need to travel. How much is the right laptop going to set me back? I want my home set up to be as good as the setup in the office, but obviously I can't move it around like a laptop.

thinkpad
What BB doesn't provide laptops damn... I think best option would be the newest Thinkpad with a Lunar Lake CPU—the battery life is worth it and build a PC for gaming use. Tons of laptops with GPUs are available if you're more interested in having one device and plugging it into an external monitor.
