How to choose next 3D gaming laptop? Need to understand what basic criteria to look for.

First, apologies if this isn't the best community; please direct me to a better venue if so. **TLDR:** I need to buy 2× used gaming laptops that are powerful enough for 3D-heavy games -- I don't know what to look for? **Situation:** My kids have used Lenovo laptops for their rooms, and after some years, their gaming choices (**BeamNG** and other such 3D-heavy games) mean that old business laptops won't cut it. They need to be replaced (the laptops, not the kids!). **Problem:** Back when I was young, I understood CPU and GPU requirements - these days I don't. *Help!* * An Intel i7 may be great but it may also be several years old. I don't understand the naming anymore. * Most normal laptops have integrated graphics which don't satisfy even most basic GPU requirements. * Real "gaming laptops" are **expensive!** *And I need 2 of them!* Gotta find something used, and I have no idea what search criteria to set.

Fanless Laptops

My older Asus has lasted forever, I put this down to zero moving parts. It is however underpowered by today's standards. Are there any such laptops available today? And what's the linux support like?
