I am looking for a new laptop. Are there any suggestions for what brand of Gaming Laptop I should get?

Hi everyone! I am searching for a new laptop to better run Unreal Engine. Until now, I was self taught, but I am taking an Unreal class next semester at my college along with developing my Capstone. I need something that could run Unreal Engine better than my current laptop. I was looking into brands of Gaming Laptops, and I may get an Acer Laptop. However, I am still not too sure what I should get. My budget is about $700-1,300. Any suggestions? Thank you!

one angle to consider is that you may want to develop vr applications at some point, and if that is the case you should look at the min specs for the rift s and the vive.

Thank you! I did not think about that. I do not own a VR Headset right now, but I may need it in the Industry later on.
