My personal advice on PCs:
* Your processor should always be an Intel Core. i5 for gamers, i7 for high-performance applications and gamers who have money.
* Your graphics card should always be an NVIDIA card. CCP games tend to run better on them, in addition to the subjective view that AMD graphics suck.
* Don't go cheap on the power supply. The dumbest part of your computer is also the most important.
* Do not fret over PC brands if you are not building the machine yourself: The internal parts are all the same no matter who you buy from.**
* There is no such thing as a gaming laptop. It's an oxymoron. Just don't.
** Except HP. Never buy HP. Ever.

AMDs offer extremely high capability to self-combust, and that's about it. #IntelMasterRace

This is good advice. Buy when the game's specs are actually out. Though none of this stuff ever really goes down in price, so much as they start selling better stuff at the same price. ;)

For myself, the one (and at present, only) computer I ever owned that didn't used AMD was an HP laptop that fried itself. OTOH, that could just be because *HP*, so who knows.
I've never had an AMD that ran well. And they seem to run a lot hotter than similar Intels. Most machines I've had problems with used AMD processors. I fix computers for a living, so I see a lot of them.
HP cannot make laptops that don't fail. I have a pile of dead HP laptops, most of them with failed motherboards in less than 18 months after purchase.

Victor, a lot of HP dv-series laptops have faulty graphics configurations, and it's non-replaceable. Seems to be the most common one. I can replace anything on a laptop that's not soldered to the motherboard, and there's were not repairable. No idea if it was temperature that killed them. They do tend to be AMD processors though.

All I ever see from you is nonsense and/or extremely biased
The question is how much of the bias is from experience and/or data?
