I’ve been building (my own) PCs for 20 years and he’s not wrong. I recommend a laptop to everyone now after having owned a proper gaming laptop. The only time a desktop is needed is either end of the spectrum. Really cheap or moneys not an issue.
The portability is so incredibly convenient, and assuming someone is fine with midline performance, you’re only paying a premium for convenience. $100 PSU, $300 GPU, $300 CPU, $100 RAM, $100 M.2, $100 Monitor. Should make a pretty snappy rig, huh? Add $300 for SFF and you’ve literally got my laptop I use for gaming. Does 2k at 60 reliably on demanding games on high if not ultra. If I want all the bells and whistles I play at 1080p.
It’s amazing what value you can get if you’re not concerned with 144/165 at 4k at Ultra Settings, and here’s the thing, the target audience for this article isn’t concerned about the above either. Enthusiasts love to flex nuts about what their PCs can do, but by definition most people aren’t. So who could have guessed that laptops are the more enticing option for most people?
