After more than 7 years using same old (but not that bad) laptop, I have finally bought a new one. Purchase timing was kinda escalated cause my sister's laptop died and we decided that I buy a new for myself and she is taking my old one.
Laptop I bought: Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-53
My old laptop: HP Pavilion 15-e080sr

I decided that I need some change since my old one is not performing well enough while I am programming, IDEs are getting sluggish, multiple tools can't be run at same time because it's running out of cpu/memory etc.

CPU changes to compare | GPU changes to compare

So far only minor issue is that this model has only 8 GB ram but that will be fixed next tuesday when my order of 32 GB ram will arrive :)

Other than that, I will continue to use Linux. Although I completely changed distro from ParrotOS (Debian) I had on my previous laptop to Fedora (Red Hat) to be more on same architecture level as centOS I am using in multiple places (work, servers, docker etc.).

Edit: My order of ram came bit earlier, now i am running 32 GB ram instead of original 8 GB :)

How does it handle modern titles? I've always been hesitant to go all in on a laptop due to heating issues.

will get to something more modern at some point. since I use Linux and not all titles are up to par on it, it's sometimes not that easy to do. So far I only played COD4 with little to no effect on heat part
