I've been looking at best buy. Are there any other sites to look on?

Budget: targeting $900, can go up to $1000 Specs:

  • 3060 or 4060 and up
  • decent build and ergonomics
  • good battery
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 6 core / 12 thread CPU
  • good screen

I get the feeling she won't be gaming to your specs. Gamers have very good reasons for not going desktop, else they go desktop every time. You sure they're into 4060 levels of gaming?

A 4060 isn’t really that impressive. It’s an 8gb card

You're right, I should look into the 4050 range.

Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I've found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it's worth looking into.
