If there is one thing I usually get from convo with you, it is to pick a tool/build that fits your use case best.

People just get blinders on with gaming.... I know because I've had them.... gaming desktop rig built with the best available board/CPU/GPU/memory is the only real machine for gaming unless you buy a console, right?

I mean if you're going to game your rig must be able to play every game on ultra settings and naturally the rig produces enough heat to melt a glacier, right?

So having anything less for gaming is nonsense, right?

And a gaming laptop? Cmon man it won't be powerful enough and it will just melt from the inside out, they haven't figured out how to put power into laptops, right?

The only solution is to build a big fat gaming rig with dual monitors and flashing LEDs on the case with liquid cooling and a portable AC unit blowing on it, otherwise you've failed as a gamer, right?

And to all that I will say I've been buying and using gaming laptops for almost a decade now.

I've had 2 machines, the 1st one lasted me 5 years, and this one has lasted me 5 years, and I've never found my gaming experience wanting.

But wtf do I know, right?

And I have like 20 years on you, plus I've wired computers by hand and actually run software on them. The 'kids' give me the same lip, don't you worry. LOL... they read tomshardware and watch linus tech tips, and think since they were able to snap a few things together a few times, they know everything. And to some of them, the more RGB, the better it is at gaming, which you would think more advanced computer users would be smart enough not to fall for, but sure enough, their mouse has 16m programmable colors, their cheapo cherry switch keyboard can do the wave with bright lights, and they buy tempered glass windows for their cases to show off how much they like decorating for christmas all year round(despite glass being a pitiful thermal conductor).

Computers do logic so the end user doesn't have to, I suppose? ;)

But yeah, I still think you should rock two builds on two different upgrade cycles. One for home, one for on the go, about 3-4 years apart so you can always have an upgrade route and stay flexible. However, if you want to just stick to a laptop... then by all means.

Since you own the whole house couldn't you put the desktop wherever you want?

I could, but then I have to put a desk in my living room and another one in my theater room and then move the desktop between them and have desks oddly placed where couches belong.

Instead I just use my laptop because it works perfectly for my use case.

I have a square peg and a square hole.... why do people insist I try to find a way to force a round peg into the square hole?

I am not asking anyone else to use my solution, it works for me.

no.. you just gotta build two desktops for both rooms... and either buy two gpus or just plug and play one when u be ready

no desk needed.. wireless keyboard mouse combo for ur chair. maybe a tray for stability.. and just install a couple monitors on the wall with a movable extending mount near where u be sit..

See, just hide a 2nd desktop behind the couch and put a monitor on a control arm on the side of the couch and then use wireless keyboard and mouse

Or.... and I'm just spitballing the idea.... let me know what you think.

Since a gaming laptop has worked perfectly for me for 10 years, I will just use that.

I know it seems insane, to use a solution that I have proved works really well, but I think maybe I should take a wild chance on it.

Thoughts?

No, you must use a convoluted method to use a gaming desktop because that is the only way to properly play PC games and if you do anything else you literally have no idea what you're doing.

Duh
