Current Events > The advent of the thin and light gaming laptop is low-key the best trend

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically, all these laptops that look and feel like Macbooks, but have high-refresh screens and can play everything at 1080p well above 100fps.

Thanks to much, much better thermals as well as the advent of things like NVME m.2 SSDs
I've been in the market for building a desktop gaming PC, but honestly I came to realize that I actually prefer playing games on my laptop with its 240 Hz screen.

The fact is that a 2080 MQ will give higher frame rates at 1080p than even a 3090 will at 4K for most games, I'm really buying into this "frames over pixels" argument lately. Especially with the advent of things like DLSS.

enjoy paying twice as much for a fraction of the performance and no way to upgrade the computer.

Nah I have an Alienware (for work but let's not focus on that minor detail) that I can use for gaming, but after having an actual desktop set up I can't go back to gaming on a laptop unless there's no other option.

I haven't been a fan of mobile gaming since high school and barely even play my Switch while undocked.

Considering I'm always at work and never at home, I'd rather do that than buy something I literally can't even play.
