Having difficulty finding a 14" laptop or smaller that has dedicated graphics (preferbly a nvida) for around $1500.
I dont want a bigger laptop as its for a really specific use case and its connected to a monitor and must fit on a desk and be portable.
Found a few things but they are all $3k plus, when a basic 15.6" rtx4060 is around $1300 I dont understand how I cant find one?
Buy the 15" you found and put a sticker on it that says 14" then.
Even the 14 inch MacBook Pro isn’t really big enough to cool the Max CPUs, it’s asking even more to cool a dedicated GPU. The first Razer blade was considered a feat of engineering for fitting a powerful gpu in a small chassis, and even that throttled.
MSI Prestige 14 Laptop
Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, 14inch 2.8K IPS, RTX 4050 6GB GDDR6, WiFi 7, BT 5.4, Win11 Pro, Single Backlit Keyboard (White)

14 inch screens don't need dedicated GPUs, the APUs included are plenty to run the 1080p 14 in screens ;)
I think the generation has changed and there is not a current version but if you're open to seconds I'd see if you can snag a used/refurb Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14. They were around $1800-$2000 new in 2024, so hopefully can get one for closer to $1200-$1500? Ryzen 7, 32gb ram, OLED screen and a 4060. Have one myself and rate it for it's size, performance, and thermals.
Because a) there isn't as big a market for 14" gaming laptops, most people want 15.6" b) it's not easy to have sufficient cooling in such a small chassis without throttling the GPU to like 60W c) most of them are geared towards creators so the screen specs are typically quite high-end and $$$
The TUF A14, for example
