what gaming laptop should i get ?
A steam deck
Lenovo legion, Asus Zephyrus, or Razer Blade. Only windows laptops worth a damn besides thinkpads
>>724662621
playstation 5
>>724666328thats not a laptop
>>724662561I got a Gateway with a RTX 2060 a few years back. Has served me well and was cheap too.>>724664372This guy is right sadly
>>724666743>Gatewaynow thats a name i havent heard in a long time
Get a regular laptop and play games with it.
>>724664372the blade is good, but never buy used, without a good warranty (depending on region). lots of lemons
>>724667067>never buy usedi have a recent lenovo legion from ebay i got used at a steal. its great no issues
I bought a Lenovo LOQ 15 a while back. Awesome laptop highly recommend although I wish I'd spent a little more and got the Lenovo Legion5i or Legion Pro5iIt depends what your budget is but even if you can only afford a LOQ 15 they're fucking dope
>>724664372>besides thinkpads
>>724667453>twitter imagei win by default
>Gayming laptopsNone.
>>724667453I have arch installed on mine and I'm a chud thoughever.
>>724662561>CPU at 30%>90° CelsiusWhat the fuck I'm gonna get burnt
>>724667718its not 2013 anymore anonie
>>724662561Get a desktop half the price and itll perform twice as good
>>724667453i dont get it
>>724667807PORTABILITY tho
>>724667856The fuck do you need portability for? You're a pc gamer, you don't leave the house lol
>>724667113yeah it's more for the blade, I've had 2 and both have been away for repairs (both QA faults) after fixing them no problems after 5+ years.
>>724667964i will say ive been using ebay for over a decade. perhaps the average joe who has never used it might easily get scammed or not know what to look out for when buying used in which case it wouldnt be smart for them to use it
>got a 4060 laptop to hold over until i could afford a 5080-90 build>ditch the plans because laptop does everything i want at at least 120 fpsin today's world the only argument against laptops is price, any other argument is bait. if you're willing to deal with the premium, just go for it.>bait? poorfag nig-shhhhhh shh shh sh shh it's not the 10 series or earlier era anymore. it's over anon.
My Legion 5 with an RTX 3060 has been the best purchase I've ever made. Bought in 2022 and it still runs perfectly today because I'm not a fat autist who treats their belongings like shit. I don't care if the graphics card is outdated by modern standards, I don't even play games released after 2018~ anyway.
>>724668503what laptop ?
>>724668605dell g15. i wouldn't recommend it over something like a lenovo. i only got it because i had a dell credit line already active and was lazy.
>>724662561Framework laptop. Obviously. Its the only one you can clean, upgrade and repair.
>>724669000>Framework laptopwasted trips
>>724668592>I don't even play games released after 2018~ anyway.typical pc poorfag cope
>>724669000Fuck off Lienus, return the copper block leafnigger
>>724662561That guy should be fired. Some terrible fucking advice right there.
>he plays games made past 2018kek
>>724662561I have a rog with a 4090 in it. It is way better than my desktop with a 3080
>gaming laptopWhy would I want a rectangle singed into my desk?
>>724662561Gay Ming laptops are genuinely usable these daysBut if you're a basement dweller like me there's no reason to use a portable device
>>724662561I bought a gaming laptop and it lasted 3 years before becoming insufferably slow and the battery started to swell upMy custom built PC is 5 years old and shows no signs of wear, the only downside is it can't run any games that use the raytracing memeGonna last another 5 years at this rate
>>724662561Can anyone name a gaming laptop that matches my 5090 and 9950x3d?
>>724662621>720p gamingdumb valve fagget
the amount of zoomers playing on laptop is worrying. Many of the top Gpu's in Steam's survey are laptop Gpu's. These fuckers are actually gonna kill gaming.
>>724662561None. They're all terrible. I rented one from Costco for 90 days (free of course) for my trip to see my in-laws in Norway and got one of the nicer ones with a 5070Ti. It ran like hot garbage. Thermal throttling, locked down bios (even after unlocking the hidden options with a keyboard sequence), extremely slow VRAM and highly VRAM limited (even Stellar Blade slowed to a crawl). They are not worth it. Get a gaming PC and just stream to a handheld or shitty laptop instead.
>>724670995>zoomersit has been like that since core2duo retard
>>724670995>not the industry releasing unoptimized ue5 proprietary slopThe laptop zoomers should be saving us honestly. Instead this just shows how fucked the industry actually is.
>>724662561Gaming laptops are trash now because new GPUs need a ton of power to function properly.Don't do it it's a big mistake.
>>724662561Don't get anything with the 7700s. Anyone who tries to tell you that card is good is a delusional nigger that's lying through their teeth cause they bought garbage and can't admit that they bought said garbage
>>724662561Gaming laptops are the worst of both worlds.Either get a desktop or a proper laptop depending on your needs. Gaming laptops are a shitty compromise that won't last as long as either of the above
>>724670995Good. Any modern gaming laptop GPU will run games from the early 10s, which had great graphics but were well-optimized, perfectly fine. Devs need to stop putting out unoptimized garbage that constantly requires buying massive new housefire bricks from nvidia. There is NO excuse for any modern game to not run on a gaming laptop, devs will have to start hiring engine programmers who know their shit again instead of cheap jeet code monkeys.
>>724672865>Either get a desktop or a proper laptop depending on your needs. Gaming laptops are a shitty compromise that won't last as long as either of the aboveWhat the fuck are you talking about, you retarded nigger? These days gaming laptops are actually some of the best laptops you can get.
>>724662621deck even loses to a dogshit entry gayming laptop steamie cultist
is MSI a good brand?>>724672865what do proper laptops do that gaming laptops can't?
>>724662561lenovo makes good ones. i like my lenovo legion.
>>724673468>is MSI a good brand?n0
>>724673468MSI is good but more expensive from what i know
I just got rid of my alienware 13" r3 with a 1060gpu and got an asus proart 13" with a 4050 for $1200 CAD. The difference in size, weight and power is ridiculous, new screen is OLED too. I know it's not really a gaming laptop but when it stops been able to run modern games I'll get a handheld like steamdeck.
>>724672865A gaming laptop can do everything a "proper" laptop can.
>>724667648Even the hardest eggs crack eventually. :3c
>but a lenovo slim 7>most modern game I've played is Nioh 2
>>724662561>what gaming laptop should i get ?Search for something with as much metal in the chassis as possible.>t. several gaymen laptops broken on the hinges and other parts of the chassis
>>724662561I have this thing, and while the screen and keyboard sucks, I just hook it to my living room tv and use a bluetooth gamepad to play my vidiagames.Unless it's rimworld, then I don't care that the screen keyboard and touchpad sucks.
>>724673468For msi, go for middle of laptop line minimally. MSI Budget gaming laptop is notoriously cheap made. Go for lenovo if you don't have the money
>>724674180Don't buy anything that has slim in its name. ITS PERFORMANCE WILL BE KEKED COMPARED TO THE OTHER LAPTOPS WITH THE SAME SPEC
>>724672060>need a ton of power
>>724670541https://www.microcenter.com/product/691632/lenovo-legion-pro-7i-16-gaming-laptop-computer-eclipse-blackThere you go, buster!>>724674108>:3cDon't try to be cute, you silly boy! :3
>>724673468Just the things I've noticed between my gaming laptop and work Mac/Zenbook.Battery life on a gaming laptop is never as long as advertised. They claim 10 hours these days but you get around half that even while doing nothing but web browsing/watching videos.Build quality is generally than similarly priced non-gaming laptops. My gaming laptop was plastic, but my other two are metal. The screen is much worse than my Zenbook/MacBook screens.My gaming laptop served me well in college, but I can't see myself buying another one
>>724662561I have the Lenovo legion and it's basically the best thing on the market. Runs anything and everything I play. The only thing you will have to do is buy another SSD. It's also literally made to be open and upgraded making it easy to upgrade RAM, upgrade wifi, add another SSD into the second slot, etc. Got it on sale for $1100 reg price is like $1500 or somethingYes I own Desktop too. But with the prices now I would rather buy another laptop
>>724662561laptops are fucking shit unless you're explicitly getting them for the portabilitya $3500 laptop will perform on par with a $1200 desktop
>>724676121>MFW I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 and the only game that I play is the Guild Wars 2!It feels good, man!I have a Ryzen 5 6600H and an RTX 3050!What's the specs of your Lenovo Legion laptop?
>>724667453God, I miss when Windows taskbar was an actual taskbar and not a wannabe mac dock.
gaming laptops are always built like the most scuffed shit ever. why can't they make an all aluminum one like a macbook instead of chingchongium?
invest in a framework laptopthey're basically as customisable as any desktop with the exception that cpu, motherboard and cooler are all combinedyou'll basically be able to upgrade specifically the gpu and the motherboard down the line while reusing everything else
>>724676656sounds great on paper but I don't live in usa
>>724676625my asus g15 is made of metal. some sort of magnesium i think
If you have a desktop, get something on the ~500 usd end (deck, ally, legion go), they're not super powerful but will play just about any game made before 2020 very well, and will serve as an excellent way to get through emulated titles that you may not have otherwise tried.If you have no desktop, get something like a laptop or the new xbox ally thing for $1k~, you'll have a hell of alot more compat with newer titles.I have a 4090 desktop at home and use a deck I got for $200 off craigslist and after opening it up and drowning it in bleach to get ick off of it, it's pretty much part of my daily carry. With a dual boot of win, I also use it as a full on laptop, and set it up when I run con booths. Lots of people forget that you can just... fucking do shit with it. Install windows on a deck, install steamos on an ally, do whatever you want, it's all there.
>>724676963oh yeah, but to be clear, handhelds will not replace a desktop, they will never be the same as a desktop, you will never be "just as good" with a handheld. They exist to fulfill a purpose of portability at a cost of fidelity and "just-werks-itude", as you have to contend with heat pretty often with every device unless you live in siberia.I would not ever recommend them as a primary PC, onl as a secondary.
>>724662561steam deck
>>724662561>enjoy>gamewhat did he mean by this?
>>724662561Integrated graphics have gotten so good. Even a mid range laptop can play even the most demanding boomer shooters. I have this ideapad, and I love it.
You can build a 1080p gaming desktop for $480 that can play most triple A games at 1080p high 60fps+ and most indies at 144fps+Laptops are a scam. Also this PC build I listed you can upgrade it in the future for a 5800X3D and a more powerful GPU in 5-8 years. And these are brand new parts besides a used GPU. But really it just needs a better GPU the ryzen 5500 is a really good 6 core CPU. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qg9zt3
>>724662561Thoughts on the new alienware aurora 16 with an rtx 5050?
>>724677579I edited this build to be cheaper you can buy a chink $26 case off aliexpress they charge free shipping.I also changed the PSU to a 600Whttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/yL3Dt3
>Play game on gaming laptop>Fans go WHIIIRRRRR Never again.
>>724677879>rx 580>1 x 16gb instead of 2 x 8gbstay away from computers, please
>>724664372Don't buy midtier or cheap Asus stuff, just play safe with the Lenovo
If you hate money, stinkpad P16
Spent $3,500 this month on a Lenovo Legion. It's pretty nice, would recommend.
>>724673328what does the deck lose and what do the laptops win? what's your use case?
>>724680048Let me guess! You have an RTX 5090!
Chat, is this a good deal?
>>724681210Buy this one instead of that objectively shitty generic branded laptop.https://www.amazon.com/HP-Victus-Gaming-GeForce-2050-512GB/dp/B0CG3CK51XYou get what you pay for.
>>724681210That's worth about 120USD. It was slow when it came out 6 years ago.
I have a gaming laptop but I haven't cleaned the fans and replace the thermal paste in over 2 years :/
>>724676121>>724680048I bought my Legion 4 years ago. 2 years ago the screen became grayer and grayer with thin black horizontal lines. It became so bad I had to lower the framerate in Nvidia and then when I tried to turn it back up a bit the screen went completely black except for a thin grey horizontal line at the top.So I connected to another screen via HDMI, and both the additonal screen and the laptop screen works, but only if I have the HDMI in the additional screen and then there's still horizonal lines that flimmers on the laptop screen. And if I try to do any required windows updates, the update shuts down after 99% and the additional screen stops working so I have to connect the laptop to a TV, press esc+ctrl+alt hundreds of times then connect back to the additional screen to get an image and the update hasn't gone through. This has been going on for 6 months.Oh and two out of four USB ports suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. Just one day they decided to stop working.I don't think I will ever buy another fucking Lenovo Legion
>>724664372I have a legion. It's a piece of shit. It can't even play master duel without going BRBBRBRBEBEBEBEI had to replace the fucking Fans twice already in 3 yearsI hate this fucking laptop so fucking much
>>724682707Yeah I have the exact same one Half my USB ports don't work either All the components in a legion are bottom tier chink ware
>>724677579>just buy a PC broThe reason I buy laptops is because I don't want to sit in my fucking desk 24 hours a day and I travel. How the fuck PC fags sit on their computer 20 hours a day is insane. I move from my bed to my desk literally every hour You people have fucking iron spines or something
>>724682707I have that same Legion and never had any issues with it. And I had it turned on 24/7 for the past years. The only times it turns off is when it restarts for updates.Have you tried doing a clean install? This laptop also got new bios like 3 months ago.
>>724680338Laptops that cost the same as a Steamdeck are like twice more powerful simply because of higher TDP and higher wattage.

>>724681210god, I hate that newfags will keep falling for this old trick because there is gaming label on itBuy one that has actual discreet gpu if you're gaming. If not get a macbook since you're going full retarded with intergrated gpu anyway

>>724684527the one with the best mobile cpu on the market right now

A generic 4060 laptop goes for 900 bucks nowadays and will play anything worth playing, the only reason you'd want something more powerful is if you're an AI gooner wanting to make WAN videos and in dire need of 16GB of VRAM or more.>inb4 BUT MY GAYMEN CRED DEMANDS I PLAY THE LATEST BLOATED UNOPTIMIZED SLOP LIKE GTA6One day you'll be 40 and look back at those desires with a mixture of profound shame and disgust
>>724684581Nta, it's not even hard if there is disassembly video out there on youtube. Learn to do maintenance by yourself. Save money
>>724684714>A generic 4060 laptopI was so annoyed because I bought a generic 3060 laptop and then 2 weeks later the 4060 version became the same price as the 3060 version I just bought.I was less annoyed a few months later because for some reason they both went up in price and the 3060 version because significantly more expensive than I paid.
>>724683091>I move from my bed to my desk literally every hour >You people have fucking iron spines or somethingNot him but I have my gaymen PC on a 70x36" sit-stand desk that has wheels. I usually stand or ride a bike at my desk and can wheel it around the place with me. Has a 48" OLED monitor and 32" va side panel in portrait orientation on steel frame stands bolted to the desk as well. Rock solid.
>>724684782Yeah sure. I could do that. But I'm in no need of saving money really. I also don't like to fiddle with computers that are still working in fair that they won't start again. The most I've ever done is removing a hard drive from my old laptop.
>>724685693>this entire post*makes jerk off motion with paw*seriously.
>>724662621fippy bippy.never get a (((gaming laptop))) it'll be obsolete in less than 2 years. Just buy a PC.>but but a pc is more expensive yes, faggit, but with the money of a gaming laptop you're more than half way there.If you're gonna cheap out just download emulators on your phone.
>>724688320My six years old HP with a shitty 1650ti can play most modern games just fine? Nevermind my newer laptop.>NOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT THINK OF 4K 120 (read 60) FPS CYBERSPUNK AND ANAL WOKE TOO, THINK OF MONSTER HUNTER MILDSSorry, I play actual videogames, not money laundering projects made to brag on anonymous imageboards
>>724687554>paw

>>724690649What's your budget?
I'm a desktop fag but needed something semi-portable so I bought a workstation on ebay for 500 freedombucks. I just couldn't stand the build quality of most gaming laptops.
>>724690910Y-you too

>>724662621vegan
>>724670995Actually, they're going to save gaming by forcing the suits to realise that game optimisation is a necessity and getting devs who can make shit work and giving them the time to do so. The biggest thing that kills game sales right now is shitty performance out of the gate. They HAVE to noootice eventually.
this seems great for a few months then you realize you can't upgrade anything and stuck with that laptop
>>724662561Build a decent gaming PC, and you'll still have enough to buy a decent laptop. Unless you NEED gaming on the go, that's a better solution.
>>724692164Don't bother. Half this thread are 3rd worlder Indians, the rest are ex-consolefags who are scared of actually building a PC themselves, so they buy craptops that will get clogged with cat-hair and dust within the first two years.They'll learn the hard way.
>>724662561Lmao, typical lazy fuck console mindset.
>>724670541No laptop will ever have the performance of the desktop 5090 or even 5080.
>>724677579Nigger you're talking to 13 year old zoomies and third worlders who don't possess the attention span or IQ to build a desktop PC even if they were motivated to do so. Don't spoonfeed them, let them suffer.
midrange desktop pc, and cheap used thinkpad for stream gaming via moonlight is my way. My fans don't even activate. I can see having a gaming laptop for college or something, I'd never actually game on it unless I had an external display, mouse and keyboard for proper ergonomics. Using linux of course.

>it's mother fucking gaming time

>>724662561>Just as expensive as a good cpu>Terrible keyboard ergonomics if you are gaming>OEM parts that cant be upgraded>Probably a hassle to disassemble for maintenance>Extra noisy when you play something modernBuying a laptop just for gaming is stupid. If someone wants to buy a laptop, then it should be for work first then gaming second. If you want budget pc gaming, you should rather buy a steam deck which is more portable than a laptop. If you want to be a proper pc gamer, then you need to cough up 2k at least and build a decent pc rig. Once you have your pc system set up and ready to go, you will never look back
>>724677424Based. Modern AMD iGPUs are more than enough. There's no reason for spending money on gaming laptop if you're not terminally ill with raytracingfaggotry.
>>724673468It''s anecdotal but my worst laptop was MSI. 1/4 the keys failed and the fan broke. I'd never buy from them again.>>724662621Do any of you actually play kbam games on the deck? Or are you all desktop+deck and you think the second best option is deck only?
I'm considering getting a laptop myself but I'm going to wait closer to the holidays for some sales. Laptops always go on sale around the holiday season. Around Black Friday is always a good time to shop for electronics, especially considering Black Friday isn't even a single day anymore. Most retail outlets do it all week now.
>>724695386theres decades of tech reviews and at least a couple hundred hours of current short form and yt videos on how laptops are planned obsolescence to the core. If you watch enough, you realize the only people stupid enough to work on them are autists and their positive reviews of them are based in autism.
A gaming laptop actually used for lots of gaming will last only a few years before failure.
>>724696727my x220 from 2011 is still holding up strong. might be the exception proving the rule though
>Most people ITT either cheapen out or never bought another one since 2010
I don't know if I was just lucky but my MSI has a complete shit wireless card or antenna or whatever it is that receives wifi, stay the fuck away from those.
>>7246909101000-1500 USD.
Gaming laptops are foolish. A laptop "4070" is way weaker than a desktop equivalent, the experience of using it with a shitty keyboard and screen is way worse, if you use it as an actual gaming machine it won't last long.If you're already using a laptop for work/travel, a regular business laptop can already play a lot of older games, indies, emulators etc. to waste time, no need to run AAA shit.And if you really want mobile gaming, get a Deck or Switch if that's your fancy. Gaming laptops don't fill any need.
Nothing signals you're a linus tech tips tech illiterate pseudonerd like berating people for buying a gaming laptop. There's certain sentiments / attitudes that inform everyone what your youtube feed tells you to think.I don't own a gaming laptop before you sperg out.
>>724699826lol

>>724662561I got this bad boy in 2015 for 1200€ and it refuses to die. Planes, trains, cars, japanese porn games, subnautica, modded skyrim, 2010 AAA slop. Crusty but resilient. Hinges are strong, new ssd, when windows shits the bed I'll install linux on it. So my money is on asus, but not something too cheap.
I bought a 3070 gayman laptop in early 2021 when there was the problems with shipping GPUs because of COVID and for the shit I play it's been okay but whenever I felt like playing AAA slop it really struggled, mainly on thermals. Also it's an absolute pain the in ass to clean out and do any maintenance, why do these companies not want you to dedust your fans. I wouldn't do it again.
>>724662561>enjoy the game>on a crippled PC>and with CyberpunkAm I being punk'd?
Here are the facts.Gaming laptops have portability and that makes them really useful for anyone who has to travel a lot, spends time away from home during the day, or likes to sit in various places in their home while gayman. For people like this they are absolutely worth the cost.That said, the caveats are huge.1. Thermals. They get hot, which makes the fans ramp up. You should expect a hairdryer type noise while you play. For me this is an absolute dealbreaker2. Longevity. Because of the heat, the parts degrade and the gpu will break. It will probably break with heavy use. And repairing it isn't viable.3. Price/performance. You pay about double compared to desktop.Personally I would never recommend a gaming laptop unless just playing undemanding games. eSports, indies, old games, that kind of thing. As soon as you start to push the laptop, things begin to go wrong. This is why the true patrician choice is desktop PC + handheld.
I'm going to get a desktop in the black Friday sales. How important is 64gb ram right now? Is it a waste or will it be mandatory?
>>724699826Or people have bought gaming laptops, experienced them firsthand, and have developed an opinion based on that.
>>724667753It still happenst. has a lappie from 2022
My ancient desktop finally kicked the bucket and I'm looking for something new. Since I'm not interested enough in modern games to be willing to pay extra for better hardware, I'm considering a laptop or an 'eck. What would be my best and cheapest option to play games from 2015 and older?
>>724682859seems like an issue on your end.I have had a legion for almost 3 years and I haven't even replaced it's thermal paste and it works just as well as it did 3 years ago.
>>724704161just get 32gb, you wouldn't need more in atleast the next 5-10 years. technically you don't even need that much right now unless you use some ram heavy softwares
The best "gaming" laptops are just a generic high end laptop that you put in the effort to keep cool. Putting them on your bed/desk flat with no elevation is just begging for trouble.
>>724704061>You should expect a hairdryer type noise while you playI just use headphones but yeah it does suck.

>>724662561I'm thinking of getting a Legion Go 2 and Thinkpad T14.I have an awesome desktop (5090+9950x3D), so I just need a work laptop and gaming on the go.the Legion laptop looked good as well, but I just really want a Thinkpad they're so cool looking
>muh laptopsOkay fags, what about THIS?
>>72470416132 is fine for now but you might just pay more later. If u do anything with video get the ram.
Lenovo Legion hands down the best gaming laptops.
>>724676121it sucks that some asus zephyrus models dont allow upgrading ram or ssd. one of the best parts about getting a gaming laptop especially if you get it on sale is upgrading to 32gb ram and adding another ssd both ram and ssds are cheap these days
seeing lots of comments in this thread praising the lenovo legion line. i have one and i agree its great i only have two complaints really. One recently the touchpad just stops working randomly. Havent found a solution yet. Two i wish the batter life were longer but thats typical in gaming laptops i suppose
>>724677667>rtx 5050what am i poor ?>>724680048>$3,500while legions are good i never spend more than 1000 on a laptop. >>724682859sounds like you have an older model. get something newer>>724682707sounds like you just got a bad batch
what's a good portable bluray reader?
figures /v/ would be full of poor people who cant afford a desktop .

>>724695345i have had 5 different nvidia GPUs (3 desktop, 2 laptop) and have never had driver issues. maybe im just lucky

i liked lenovo legionno need to get max super gaming onemid range one with xx70 is good enough it looks like normal work laptop too instead of ricer shit
>>724677579>>724677879at this point just buy used. getting new AM4 cpus is dumb as fuck unless it's a good deal for x3d, but this doesn't happen anymore. same goes for DDR4 memory really, and in this case you picked some abysmal single channel CL22 sticks.i live in shithole eastern yurpoor and i can get used ryzen 5600 + b450 + 16gb of ram for like $100, and that's already assuming people overprice this shit quite a bit.
>>724683395Not true, LCD Deck is cheaper by far unless you buy used (but you could also buy a used Deck). Also much more convenient, you can play directly on it instead of needing to bring a gamepad and awkwardly set the laptop on your legs or whatever.I recently bought on sale a 16c32t Ryzen laptop with a 4060, 165hz screen, upgraded to 64GB of RAM, and put a second SSD inside I dedicate to Steam games. I actually bought it for my job, but I thought I'd want to play on it too. I haven't played anything at all since the first day I got it because my Deck is just way more convenient.There's 40+ years worth of games you can play on Deck including games released today, and only a few years of boring AAAslop that's just too demanding for it.If you're playing a game mainly for visual spectacle then you don't want to play on any laptop or handheld, you'd want to play on a desktop or console. If you're paying a game with anticheat then be honest and admit you'd never want to play it without kb&mouse anyway.I have over a thousand games on Steam and there's only one I can't play on my Deck that I was actually disappointed about, Expedition 33.

>>724662561I have a better question - what laptop should I get if it want it to be lasting and reliable? I don't need it to be especially powerful - I only play on Deck.Don't want to buy a PC because portability is more important for me at this moment.

>>724685693This is what I need. How much did it cost
>>724714000Any business class laptop will last you a lifetime with the most recommended being thinkpad
I've been using an Asus gaming laptop for a decade and it still serves my needs just fine.t. 970m user
>>724714342>970mupgrade already
I bought like 5 premium laptops in my lifetimesMidgrade is absolutely the way to go. It's good enough to not overheat and you can just trade up to a newer laptop if you want something new. I see nothing with gaming laptops nowadays, and I have a Deck and a desktop rocking a 3090. If you want premium then stick to desktop because cooling is very important for premium components, but gaming laptops are absolutely ideal for "good enough" scenarios.I have an Asus Strix and it doesn't look too profoundly gay with the RGBT lights unlike most laptops. I have no problems with it after I removed the ROG shitware.
>>724714670There's nothing to upgrade for. I'm fine and will continue to be fine with 1080p. I have an OG PS4 for whatever the laptop doesn't run. Plus, prices for parts are high and optimization is dead.
>>724667453It's the same person
