Why do people say they're a bad deal when they aren't?>$500-$700>runs most modern games at medium 720p / low 1080p just fine>emulates pretty much everything up to the Switch>comes with a backlit keyboard>comes with a nice 1080p 144HZ screen >upgradable ram / storage if you have problems with thoseSo why do people hate gaming laptops again?Gaming PCs are only cheaper if you buy some parts used which is a gamble in itself.
Because everyone needs something that makes them feel like they have worth, and when you don't have any of the things that usually give someone worth, you start grasping for straws, because it's easier than admitting that you're a worthless waste of space, oxygen and resources.
>>683814305For 900€ I can buy one with a 4060 that can emulate ps3/360 and run all games at medium high 1080p.
>>683814615>that can emulate ps3/360 Most gaming laptops can emulate those just fine.Does that $900 also include a 144HZ monitor & keyboard?
it's more about how annoying things are to replace.
>>683814808It's a laptop dummy have you seen one without?
>>683814305Bad value for money, can't upgrade or replace 90% of the parts when something goes wrong, prone to inhaling dust and overheating, mobile chipsets get limited driver support, and most gaming laptop owners are housebound NEETs who don't need the portability. Just get a desktop.
>>683814305I bought a G14 laptop for work and gaymen. Is fast enough but it doesn't hold a candle against my old W540 build quality-wise. I bought a 'eck and im building a desktop... next year im ditching my laptop and buying a decent workstation for work.
>>683814305Oldfags parroting circa 2006 memes.Nufag zoomers being too console-brained to do even basic configuration and maintenance to keep them alive more than 12 months.Anything over 1080p and 60hz is wasted on a laptop. Pointless power drain and the mobile hardware is not designed for that.
>>683815540>Just get a desktop.They're way more expensive unless you buy used parts which are a gamble.
>>683815540Actually you can upgrade a laptop just fine.You sell it and get a new one with the money.If you don't go out with it ,it will look brand new and you won't lose more than 100~200 if you sell it after 2y.The big companies keep making them more expensive and laptops are kinda not going down in price even used
>>683815540>can't upgradeI'll give you that>can't replacethat's just false
>>683814305Lowers your sperm count.
>>683815864Nobody actually puts their laptop on the ball's
>>683815864You count your sperm?
>>683815661Get a job. >>683815804>just replace the entire machine when 1 component failsCringe.
>>683814305>medium 720p / low 1080pI don't consider that acceptable.
>>683815804>If you don't go out with itKinda beats the point of having a laptop.>you won't lose more than 100~200 if you sell it after 2yThis is just delusional unless you're talking about macs.
>>683816053You only need more for competitive games.
>>683816139I like seeing my games.
>>683816017Where did you get failure from?I've had at least 7 laptops in my life and the only one that failed was run over with a car.
>>683816190Anon, I'm pretty sure you're blind if you can't see games at 720p or even 1080p....Get some new glasses maybe?
>>683814305If your standards are so console-esque you might as well just get a Steam Deck.
>>683816106Nope .Maybe it's different in the US but EU fags won't give you a break even with used stuff.I've see used more expensive then new.
>>683816259Even cheap gaming laptops are WAY better for gaming then Steam Decks.
>>683814305>Gaming PCs are only cheaper if you buy some parts used which is a gamble in itself.If you can't build a gaming desktop for cheaper than a comparable gaming laptop, then you are a legitimate fucking retard, stfu. No "used parts" necessary.
>>683815661>>Just get a desktop.>They're way more expensive unless you buy used parts which are a gamble.Stop repeating this bullshit, it is objectively false.
>>683816243>if you can't see the 300-800% more pixels without them actually being there, you're blindGood logic.
>>683816949That shit only matters for competitive games.
>>683816715I've literally found cheaper laptops than equivalent PC parts.I'm serious if you start with 0 part's it's a thing
>>683817037I like to see my games.
>>683817758Anon, you fell for a marketing meme lol
>>683818107>610x349 pic>showing differences up to 1080p>lolAre you 100% retarded, or just a liar? Can't it be both?Now, for actual evidence.>my shots >3 enemies that just disappear in 1080phttps://imgsli.com/MjY1NjAz
>>683815575nasty post
>>683814305>Why do people say they're a bad deal when they aren't?they are fine for what they arethe issue is people trying to use them as a substitute for a proper desktop which is not what they are for
>>683815240>he doesn't have a 144Hz keyboard ngmi
>MFW I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptopIt costs only $599 in the Amazon right now.You can always just upgrade the RAM and the SSDs.https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Essential-Computer-Graphics/dp/B09RND1LP2/
>>683814305Because people just want to gatekeep how people playing their games. That's why people get pissy when other people mention they use a gaming laptop. Or prebuilt. Or they played something on game pass. Or that they bought digitally.Understand that these faggots hold no power over you and their validation is worthless.
>>683819803Prebuilts are only decent if you're paying like $1500+ for oneAnything lower gets you dogshi specs
>>683814305That's more than the cost of a console for lower quality. It's shit.
>>683819803Except what you said isn't true. You're always getting inferior parts for the price with a laptop in exchange for portability. They're a bad deal for gaming, especially. With gaming, you want the best price/performance, but you throw that out the window for a lower top end and higher prices.
>>683820064i don't know, i feel he's kinda right. it's always same thing. whatever you used money for is best way to do things because you need to be right that you spend your money on right thing. in the end it doesn't matter.people will always buy stuff that you don't like and then you're gonna be like eeeeh that's so waste of moneyy!! but then there are always people who will think that what you buy is waste of money. like said it's whatever doesn't really matter
if you emulate on a laptop in public, I will call the police
>>683820461The question wasn't "why do people hurt my fee fees when I game on a laptop?" It was "Why do people say they're a bad deal when they aren't?" They're objectively a bad deal, and I explained in detail.
>>683820601that's like your opinion dude. lots of people will feel like this was best purchase ever and how they lived without it before. it just how it goes
>>683820736What someone feels is irrelevant. Bad value is bad value. If I buy a roll of toilet paper for $2, but a 9 pack is $4, it doesn't matter how good I thought my purchase was. It was a bad deal.
>tfw playing mw3 on my free 3 months of gamepass included with my laptop>silky smooth 30 fps at 720p low settingsDon’t regret my purchase. I do regret installing cod though what a fucking piece of shit, I could’ve been playing yakuza or p3r or some shit.
>>683820903You ever saw that pic of the dude with the laptop and the gaymer faggot with his monster build desktop going up some steps?If I were ugly I would’ve chosen the “value choice” too, but I actually enjoy moving it around places with no fuss.
>>683814305cooling issues, no upgrades (aside from ram and storage), non modular, if your screen breaks, you're fucked forever
>>683814305If you travel a lot for work etc. Then it makes sense. But if you're home every night, then it makes no sense.
>>683821398I like to play games. I don't pick my electronics for "style," because it really doesn't matter. I bring a girl to my house and show her around. She sees my massive gaming rig with a 55" monitor as we pass by my office. She doesn't care.
>>683821398I'm not him, but you must be talking about this picture.
>>683814305Because 10 or so years ago they were an objectively terrible deal. Now, with cooling being decent on most of them and *entire generations of graphics cards* coming and going without a single new game actually needing them, the argument for a gaming laptop is a lot stronger.
>>683821605>if you're home every night, you should be hunched over your deskRofl
>>683821170Post your laptop
>>683814305funny. i bought a pc tower for $600-$700 and it plays modern games at low-mid settings.and i can upgrade it when i need to
>>683814305I wish I pulled the trigger on Legion Slim 5 14" with 7840HS 32GB 4060 for 1000€ a month ago. Now they are back to 1400€.
>>683814305>cooks off your nutsNo thanx, I prefer desktop for gaming
