littlebro07 02/14/23 8:14:35 PM #1:	I play on a single 24 1080p/144hz monitor. Thinking of selling my desktop setup and getting a really nice laptop instead so I can play anywhere. Obvious downside being you typically cant upgrade a laptop beyond RAM unless thats changed in recent years. Anyone have suggestions on solid laptops thatll last me awhile? Or reasons I should definitely not do this? --- https://i.imgtc.com/MGGa6Os.gif <cite>littlebro07 posted [p:971571211] in Thinking o...

Punished_Blinx 02/14/23 8:24:40 PM #9:	One thing to keep in mind with laptops is cooling. Even if your specs meet a demanding game your laptop might sound like a jet engine and start choking from the high temps.

littlebro07 02/14/23 8:32:09 PM #11:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] idk, its not super nice or anything. Think I paid like $120 for it back in 2020 so wouldnt ask much. Realforce posted... What are your pc specs vs the laptop you're looking at? Ryzen 7 3700X Radeon 5700XT 16GB RAM 1TB SSD, 3TB HDD idk the rest off the top of my head but figure thats the important stuff people care about. Id want a laptop thats basically on par/better than the current gen consoles and could keep up with new releases for at least a few years. Dont necessarily care about 4K since its a smaller screen so could probably get some more time out of it. Though I guess I could hook it up to my 4K TV occasionally Punished_Blinx posted...

Jshipp24 02/14/23 8:36:14 PM #12:	I'll say this as someone who pretty much only games on laptop, its worth it if you're on the move a lot. I take my laptop to work 4 days a week and have enough down time to play whatever I like and its completely worth it. As long as you get something in the low high end tier you won't be giving up too much tbh in terms of pure gaming quality. --- This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature. <cite>Jshipp24 posted [p:971571619] in Thinking o...
