Need help buying a gaming laptop. I know I know, let me explain......

Seriously, you're wasting your money buying an expensive, shitty laptop and then trying to sell it again. Why not build a kickass itx rig and keep it? Here's a quick build in a tiny 276 x 260 x 316 mm case with some of the fastest components available, no laptop will come anywhere near it. Just use any old peripherals, maybe a cheap 21" 1080p and leave them at your work digs, but the PC's a beast and will run anything you want on ultra settings when you take it home.
