I recently took a job as a traveling sales rep and i'll be out of town pretty much every other week visiting my distributors and retailers and living out of hotels in that time. I just returned home after finishing my first week on the road and i've decided i really need a good gaming laptop i can bring on the road with me to kill time at night or else i just end up drinking at a bar. my go to game has been arma reforger for the last couple of years and when i'm not playing that i generally gravitate towards some brainless friendslop but i also have a good collection of single player games in my steam library that i've been saving for a time like this. so the problem is this: Which laptop? How can i game online reliably from the road?i was leaning towards the lenovo legion pro 7i rtx5080 with 64gb ram and 2tb hardrive as it seems to be the best value on the market right now. please weigh in with any other recommendations you might have.secondly, my current plan is to get a quality 5g hotspot that will work with my verizon account as i get 200gb/month before they throttle me which i think wil be enough. the question is, assumign a good 5g signal the download and upload speeds seem to be good enough for gaming but i don't know if the latency will be stable enough. if anyone has any experience, thoughts or ideas i would appropriate them.
>>108733062nvm found the answer using google
>>108733185google is full of normal people who bullshit. i want answers from autistic 4chan users.
>>108733062I have the same type of legion though likely a different model year, and it is sufficient for driving last-gen games with med-high settings at a reasonable frameratemy favorite thing about it is the 16:10 display at 240hz, you don't know how much you miss the extra vertical resolution until you directly compare it to normal 16:9 displayspersonally though, unless there's a specific windows-only game/games you want to play, I'd say just pick up a steamdeck and a 1tb SD cardit's portable, runs things well enough, plays a huge chunk of the steam library, can be docked to output to a tv when you're chilling in a hotel, and has a decent enough battey life that you're not tethered to a wall the way you are with a gaming laptop
>>108733062just get any laptop with amd or intel integrated graphics.
>>108733062Are you not worried the wife will cheat on you while you’re away?
>>108733062Is there a budget at all? Seems like you're ready to drop thousands of dollars on this laptop, so are you wanting better specs for less or are you wanting to know what's the best of the best you can buy that isn't a ripoff?
>>108733062>could be out picking women safely in another town>wants to be laptop gaymer insteaddon't you have any older coworkers to talk to about this? you don't seem to understand the traveling salesman lifestyle
>>108733755what wife?>>108733757not really. this job came with a significant pay increase and if this laptop setup keeps me from getting burnt out on the road then it's worth whatever it costs.>>108733889not putting my job on the line for tinder sluts and i have a FWB situation that's been steady for about five years for when i'm back home.
lenovo legion seems to be a popular choice
>>108734060I think your current plan is viable. 5G can be hit or miss depending on coverage, but there isn't really a better option. Starlink is not viable at all in hotels because it has to face north to calibrate and doesn't like the thick glass a lot of hotels use. Could just use hotel wifi and pay for higher rates / get it via a membership, but I felt like they randomly throttle even with the higher plan. Plus it's not the most secure or private.For the laptop, if you can try them out at a store first I'd highly recommend that. How a laptop feels is a big component on how much you'll enjoy it. Lenovo Legions are pretty solid and people I've seen mention them seem happy with them. The ergonomics of having a numpad on the right is a bit annoying for doing a lot of typing, but for gaming it doesn't matter nearly as much. Screen size is king either way.
