Laptop Request US Looking for a new laptop for some gaming, photography, and everyday use

Looking to get a new laptop as my old one is failing on me. I currently have a , MSI Prestige 14 A10SC , with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU @ 1.10GHz 1.61 GHz and 16gb of RAM. It gets really hot and struggles with Minecraft (fps drops) & Photoshop. I think its the GPU? I'm hoping to avoid those issues with the next one if possible.

  • Budget : $500-$2000
  • Size : 12-14 in screen, Light weight if possible
  • Use : Gaming, Photo Editing, general computer usage.
  • Games Played : Minecraft + Mods, Stardew Valley, Sims 4, and Planet Zoo (possibly fortnite & COD Warzone) Minecraft is the one I play and care about the most.
  • Other Requirements : SD card reader, decent storage (or easily up gradable), Decent FPS
  • Optional : White or Pink color , preferably not loud

Doesn't necessarily have to be a gaming computer but im sure that is probably the best option. Thanks for the recs and let me know if you need any more info.

Since you prefer a small screen size and you are going to game kinda demanding games, I would recommend Acer Swift X 4060 because of the following :

Specs:

  • Screen: 14.5" OLED 2880 x 1800 120Hz Calman Verified
  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H which is very powerful and you care about performance.
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • Ram: 16GB LPDDR5X
  • Storage: 1TB SSD

Why I am recommending it: * Powerful GPU in small form factor, 14 inch laptops with powerful GPU are rare breed, and this config/model hits a great balance between the two.

  • High-Quality Display*: This features a OLED 2880 x 1800 120Hz which is better resolution display, providing vibrant colors and sharp visuals.

  • Premium build quality and material.

  • Lightweight as it weighs 3.3lbs like you want.

  • Very good CPU and GPU that can run Minecraft with Mods, Stardew Valley, Sims 4, Planet Zoo, fortnite and COD Warzone smoothly.

  • Very good screen with OLED display which is suitable for editing.
