Durable Gaming Laptop

Hi,

I'm currently in need of a new laptop, and I consider using the chance to get a Gaming Laptop to play the next AAA games and to be able to develop 3D games in Unity (currently I'm doing mostly 2D games).

However, I am worried about the durability of the laptop. I heard that heavy tasks like gaming (possibly also 3D game development??) cause the hardware to deteriorate faster. But I don't want to shell out thousands of euros on a machine that will be broken after 2 years.

Are there any brands of gaming laptops that are good in regards to durability? (aka easily last more than 5 years?) As far as budget goes, I would go up to 1200€.

Also, how critical is a gaming laptop actually to develop 3D games in unity?

 

There's a thread for these kind of recommendations, post there: https://forum.unity.com/threads/har...lopment-ask-here-and-only-here.1110422/page-4

And they do not build 1200 euro gaming machines to last 5+ years. You'd be lucky to get 3, maybe 4 years max out of it with daily use.
