I have one of those enormous Acer gaming laptops, it runs everything smoothly on low to medium settings. You really need a desktop if you care about playing AAA games on high settings, the laptop video cards just arent there performance wise, but most games look fine on low these days, and you barely even notice the difference in indie games or games with stylized graphics e.g. overwatch

Thanks. I also feel like if I got a desktop rig I would feel compelled to get some kind of ginormous 4K display which would mean a dedicated desk setup which would mean - ugh. No. I'm not that guy.

laptops are expensive so if you need your purchase to align w a preexisting brand you could always think of yrself as frugal

maybe u want to get a macbook so u can wait w/ baited breath alongside the rest of us for them to port games 5 years after the fact (and never get to play an ANNO or Capcom game).

jokes on you ANNO games can run on MacBook w minimal futzing some shit called wine I think but it works I got it to work then I never had time to play it rip

no shit? i know about wine but didn't realize ANNO works smoothly with it. i've wanted to play 2070 for a while. well actually i did but i think the desire evaporated during the wait. but at some pt in history i really wanted to.

if you're interested mainly in steamy indie stuff you don't even need a 'gaming' laptop, mb
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp),
agree with thomp, at least with the kind of Steam games i'm usually interested in. i have a 2014 macbook pro and it handles pretty much everything.
