Personally, I got a sweet deal since my budget is limited (below 1000€). During the Black Week, I finally decided.
Price: 750€
Laptop: MSI GF63 Thin 12V-087 (Amazon Sales Version of the 12V-081)
i5 12450H,
16 GB DDR4,
512 SSD,
RTX 4050 (decreased peak performance for it is capped at 45W)
Frame time for base (ultra settings): 11.277ms (avg) / 17.259ms (99th) -> at least 59 FPS
Average Turn time for base: 7.45s
Frame time for GS (ultra settings): 13.494ms (avg) / 17.621ms (99th) -> at least 57 FPS
Average Turn time for GS: 44.45s
Of course, it hasn't got the performance of a desktop three to four times its price but computers are cheaper across the Atlantic anyway, that I recently found (it does not become feasible though due to shipping and customs as well as other additional costs). I will also upgrade the RAM (to 32GB) and SSD space (+2TB) for another ~185€ later. Primarily I intended to get away from my 10 year old desktop and looked for a bedside solution, both have 1080p screens and ran the DX11 version. The old one:
i7 4770,
16 GB DD3,
1TB HDD,
GTX 760
Frame time for base (ultra settings): 34.547ms (avg) / 52.261ms (99th) -> at least 19 FPS
Average Turn time for base: 11.19s (+50%)
Frame time for GS (ultra settings): 48.732ms / 72.219ms (99th) -> at least 14 FPS
Average Turn time for GS: 60.99s (+37%)
Obviously I got much more GPU power still but I'll save a quarter of the time I'd otherwise wait. Other CPU may prove twice as fast but they alone could cost as much the laptop. Incidentally I got a gaming mouse (MSI M99) due to a promotion (original price: 50€ but free since I got the laptop). It's even more of a disco light than my 10€ and feels hella weird. I use it as a spare.
