Can you help me choosing a gaming laptop?

First of all I dont know buying new or used.\nSince I don't know which is "a good deal"

I heard some have nice mechanical keyboards.\nLike the XMG NEO (too expensive for my use)\nI found a Razer on Ebay which keys are not functioning anymore. I wanted to replace the keyboard but dunno if that's a mo-bo issue.

Budget will be 1k. \nIs there a site to get a laptop custom build?

I don't need a good graphics card.\nMaybe a good AMD CPU.

Good if I can repair it easily but I guess that won't work out?

Thanks for sugggestions.","time":1727624636,"title":"Ask HN: Advice for a Gaming Laptop","type":"story"}],[41515779,{"by":"Al_Ptr","descendants":9,"id":41515779,"kids":[41516008,41518513,41516050,41558351,41517215,41516075,41515838,41517066,41515965],"score":9,"text":"Hello.
