I am clueless with pcs, so I’m not sure what I should buy. I want to buy a gaming laptop to use for school as well. I want to be able to play games like apex legends smoothly. Budget is around $1500 AUD (1000 USD), but can look at laptops with a normal price around $2000 (1300USD) AUD with black Friday coming up.
Need:
16gb ram
512gb storage
15.6 inches or below
Over 5 hours of battery life for normal school use, battery life when gaming doesn’t really matter.
Want:
Portable, preferably lightweight
1 tb of storage would be good, but not that important

In fact this is even better, extra 50 bucks you get a better screen and 1tb SSD: https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=82Y9CTO1WWAU2
Zephyrus G14, either the 2022 or 2023 model
IBUYPOWERPC has some that you might be interested in. Plus they use Afirm which can help you with buying.
Get a legion and the usb-c charger for on the go. Then at home/dorm, plug it to the 300watt brick for gaming
