Other suggestions
I didn't mention this while recording (sorry), but if the Framework 13 isn't enough laptop, the Framework 16 is releasing very soon as of writing and recording this (As of Feb 09 2024) and is open for pre-order now. The Framework 16 includes a replaceable GPU along with more expansion and a larger screen. This should provide a better gaming experience and more power.
