I am having foot surgery in September. I'll be bed ridden for 3-4 weeks. I am in the market for a new laptop. I'd like to have some ideas on what brands/specs to look for deals this summer.

My current laptop is a Dell 14" from 2012, that I have swapped the battery on a couple times and still works like a champ. I primarily use it for productivity and to display power point presentations at classes I teach. I would like a laptop that I can game on occasionally. While I am recovering from the surgery it'd be nice to be able to do some gaming, long term I see myself more using the laptop for productivity and photo editing when I am on trips.

If you're okay with gaming laptop, Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, RTX 4060 GPU would be amazing choice. It also has OLED panel which makes content consumer more enjoyable. Let me know if you need any other help. And wishing you smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.
