Pros and cons
>>107479704i have an acer nitro atmi5-13420h, rtx 2050 , 32gb rampros: just works, reliable to a certain extent, never failed mecons: >since its a gayming laptop, it has a short battery life. won't last more than 2-3 hours outside of the plug>if you're gayming, its very loud>probably will cost you more
>>107479704loud, get hot as fuck, expensive if you actually want any decent performance out of them. Fuck, Even If your work forces you to travel a lot you don't want one, you just have no choice.
>>107479704pros:>often the cheapest way to get new hardware>used they're even cheapercons:>often made with the cheapest materials>designed like shit >have half the lifespan of a similarly specced mobile workstation >shitty keyboard, touchpad, speakers, displays>thermal and power throttling prevent you from getting advertised performance>meme brands selling components for twice what they're worth >retarded configurations like I5 HX + 2050 that do nothing but leave burns on your desk/lap
the solution to portable gaming is being able to stream from your home desktop through the internet at 1:1 quality with 0 latencythey haven't seriously worked on this because it would kill 99% of the laptop/smartphone market
>>107479704Have good specs. Aren't portable but movable. Shit design. Extremely cheap build quality. Battery works more like a UPS.
there are no pros, only cons.Gaymen laptops are heavier, more expensive, get hotter, use more battery, make more noise, everything you did not want on a laptop.>b-but i can take my gayming laptop to my friends house and we can....Shut up, we all know that no one with a gaymen laptop doesn't have any friend.
>>107479934>it would kill 99% of the laptop/smartphone marketAnon, most people buy phones and laptops not to play games on the shitter
>>107479704Pros, very very high end specs and features. Sometimes for really affordable prices. Cons, poor lifespans due to overheating and maintenence being extremely difficult and often cheap flimsy mechanical designs, might also burn your penis off if you put it on your lap.
>>107479980>canned responses from 15 years agoRetard>>107480024Stop buying garbage and get a legion also dust your shit from time to time, all of that gets fixed with maintenance
>>107479704Gaming laptops have come a long way and I would say they are a decent option now, but you have to buy a good one, dont buy the cheap Acer ones just because it has the same GPU than a more expensive alternative
Pros: you can cook an egg on itCons: everything that has already been said in this thread, and also they are really bulky and inconvenient to carry. You need an oversized laptop case/backpack because nothing else will fit it.I bought a gayman laptop when I was posted overseas for a couple of years. Sure, it was nice to be able to play the latest games at the time, but it was a pain in the ass to carry, so it was just sitting on my desk at home most of the time. The worst thing about it was the heat. Because it was always running hot, even when I was just browsing the internet, the internals started to get damaged. The power inlet broke down three times. The first one was luckily a few weeks before the warranty expired. The second time I had to pay out of pocket for it. The third time completely fried the mobo.
>>107479704>>107479924add, garbage for play in plane, train.Steamdeck is the way.
>>107480080Nothing has changed, gaymen laptops are still heavier, uglier, have a about 1/6 of the battery duration compared to a normal laptop, get's really hot. The only utility of a gaymen laptop is as an anticoncepcional for man.
I boughted a refurbished F15 with a 4050 and 13620h. How did I do?
>>107480987>It is >Because I said soLet me guess you only bought intcel laptops and are too fucking stupid to use hybrid graphics>heavier Full fucking retard, just admit you can't afford one and will rather parrot the same thing because you refuse to get a job, there are ultralight gaming laptops that still mog modern consoles starting from 2021
>>107480987>battery durationThe goal of gaming laptops isn't to play demanding games on the go, it's that it's a computer you can transport if you travel a lot that does gaming decently. I can bring a gaming laptop if I'm going on vacation, can't quite do that with a desktop.
>>107479704>gaming grow up
>>107479704Pros: Portability, ease of use, you don't have to be a fucking loser sitting alone in your room every time you want to use your computerCons: They're usually pretty shoddily made. It's not "so bad" because you should be able to repair them yourself with minimal effort, but it's clear the materials they use are designed to fail.
>>107481038Battery not even a issue you just need to turn off the dgpu which can be done easily in both linux and windows. He's repeating a cope mantra because most modern gaming laptops probably ass rape his desktop. The only thing you need to do is dust it from time to time something most people ignore and they get mad when a device that draws in air and dust starts to overheat, you just need to do it once a month with a electronic duster.>>107481058Why are you posting this ugly bitch in multiple threads?Also stop buying garbage the legion line has been solid for 6+ years
They're heavy, loud and have shit battery life.Only seriously consider them if you're on the move all the time and a traditional desktop setup isn't an option.
>>107481111>HeavyYou have aids or something they have dropped in weight drastically over the years>LoudI can give you that in demanding games but a 2$ laptop raiser fixes 80% of the noise issues while playing those gamesAgain you people just repeat shit like lemmings and have nothing to offer because you can't take 5 seconds to watch a modern review or demo one in a fucking store.
>>107481111>loudI bought one recently, it's pretty ok. The only time I found it to be annoying was when I turned on the so called "turbo mode". The sides of it felt like a hair dryer
>>107481038>The goal of gaming laptops isn't to play demanding games on the goSo, it also suck at playing games too?Holy shit, the jews did a number on the /v/irgins
If you put linux on an MSI laptop, the battery runs for awhile now, even gaming.
>>107481078What would you recommend instead?
>>107481142You seem really upsetAre you stuck on a archaic piece of shit?He's saying that it's fucking retarded to do heavy gaming on fucking battery something anyone with a brain will tell you dipshit. You're supposed to use the igpu if you don't have a power supply you stupid piece of shit
>>107481078>you just need to do it once a month with a electronic duster.how do I do it without losing my warranty?
>>107481038nigga, do you need to play your virgin games while on vacation?
>>107481169TechJarrod gives good videos and good test, look for a year that fits your budget and watch his review.>>107481198No brand will put you out of warranty for basic maintenance and you don't even need to open your laptop to move dust from vents>>107481243Some people like to relax in their hotel room he could also use the device for general computing like most people without aids will do. If you're using the igpu you're perfectly fine
>>107481276oh you meant it like that, thanks. I'll need to get one of those
>>107481298Really quick to do just be sure to keep up with it and get a laptop raiser off of ali express and only really use the cooling pads if you're playing on a bed or something, simply raising the device goes far
>>107481325I ordered one of those raisers, it should arrive in a couple of weeks
>>107481276>If you're using the igpu you're perfectly fineThen you again prove that gaiming laptops are a useless waste of money
>>107481373Off your meds?Are you unable to comprehend basic shit?Please explain your reasoning you stupid piece of shit so we can laugh at you
>>107481373>use igpu when you are outside doing basic word>use dgpu when you want to game or do something that requires that kind of power
>>107481433> to game or do something that requires that kind of powerbut for 2h tops, so useless
>>107482217You're fucking dumb as rocks please just fuck offYou're only posting now to be annoying and you offer nothing to this conversation.
>5070 ti mobile is worse than my 3060ti sitting in a boxLmao, I'm just going to get a macbook pro. This is gay.
>>107482231Sell you piece of crap faggot
