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?

I've been happy with my gaming laptops. I used to be like 80% travel for my job, so portable gaming was essential.

I still use a gaming laptop as my primary desktop, because it's physically small, (relatively) quiet, and I don't need to keep a honking big UPS to give me 20 minutes of time to save work and shut down. The battery's not great, but it's more than enough to get me through power interruptions, or to move the machine between power outlets.
