Why did I fall for the gayming laptop meme. Its go so dam hot and over heats and runs games worse then my 700 dollar desktop gpu. I took it to a airport to game while I was waiting and everyone looked at me funny.
Why did I fall for the gayming laptop meme.
ITT: things that didn't happen.
I have an MSI GT75 Titan-056 [that laptop in the picture]. It runs at 35 idle, 40-45 in use, and mid 70s in The Witcher 3 on second highest settings, no hair works.
It's not a laptop, it's classified as a workstation. It weighs well over twenty pounds. Dedicated desktop GPU. Low-mid fans when playing The Witcher 3. I'd look at you strange, too.
Witcher 3 came out 10 years ago and runs on a nintendo switch
>and mid 70s in The Witcher 3 on second highest settings
>MRSP 2800 burgers
>if you actually take advantage of the portability of this giant brick with shit battery life you get throttling
Please tell me you found this thing laying around unattended somewhere.
I travel. I needed a solution. I have a toy that you don't. Cry about it. As I said, low-mid fans. I never max anything out because it tries to use the hardware to the maximum, and I don't like that. I am better than you, eat shit.
Steam Deck + gaming pc is better. Glad you enjoy it though.
No, it's really objectively not. You can look up the stats of the laptop I listed. I can just grab my backpack and go, the whole thing vs you leaving the desktop. Ganker really needs to fricking get over this. We're not in the early 2000s anymore. The best gaming laptops are literally dedicated desktop hardware in big ass laptops like mine. The only thing that's actually better on a desktop is thermals.
>The only thing that's actually better on a desktop is thermals.
Price point.
Fair, but when your house is on fire or you just go somewhere else, I always have the security of knowing where my gear is. Peace of mind is priceless.
>when your house is on fire
If you're stretching this hard, you don't have a point.
>or you just go somewhere else
Just buy a low end used laptop. Only cringelords play games on the go, and only MEGA cringelords play AAA slop on the go.
>I always have the security of knowing where my gear is
The frick does that even mean? Your PC is still at home, you know where it is.
>If you're stretching this hard, you don't have a point
Cry about it. Peace of mind is all life is good for.
>Only cringelords play games on the go, and only MEGA cringelords play AAA slop on the go.
>People who play video games are cringe
>The frick does that even mean? Your PC is still at home, you know where it is.
You're dumb as shit. I already said I travel.
I legitimately hate Ganker. I know this board is filled with younggays, but holy shit.
And you sacrifice quality, I don't. I get the same experience as I would with a desktop, everywhere I go. My laptop doesn't get hot, and there are games I can play without the fans making audible noise. I also use headphones. I've also used my laptop on a plane, but don't like to. Never can get into the mood.
>And you sacrifice quality, I don't
And yet you play the witcher 3, curious
Have at you
It's loud as frick, heavy as frick, hot as frick, and has shit battery life. I can put my deck in my backpack with a battery pack (or two even) and be set for 12 hours on a plane. The laptop will be too hot for your lap and too big to fit on the tray on the seat in front of you on the plane. Like I'm glad you're happy with it, but my Alienware M15 was a massive pain in the ass and I hated it. I've never once hated my deck. I'd say the laptop has an advantage for general productivity use, but it's going to be obnoxiously loud regardless. Pic related is my productivity and media laptop for when I travel. Dual boot windows 11 and kali linux. Very comfy and quiet. Not as good for gaming of course, but that's what the deck is for.
There is more than one laptop that can run the Witcher 3 within a price range of nearly 3000 dollars, and they don't all come with qualifiers like doubling as a rifle rated body armor plate. I don't think you understand the point of my post, let's blame the buyer's remorse and move on.
The difference is those won't have a fricking one to one desktop GPU in them or they'll have abysmal thermals. My laptop is 2/3rds metal. Of fricking course it's heavy.
My labtop's battery shit itself and I've been trying to find a replacement.
Don't bother
Chink batteries last like a month at full capacity and half year at half
If your laptop were actually thicc boi like in your pic, then it wouldn't overheat, it'd just get loud and battery would drain fast.
Oh yeah, don't even try to run The Witcher 3 on max battery usage without it being plugged in. It had a setting to use verying levels, but you obviously get throttling.
Good for you. My laptop is still better than all consoles and over half of all PCs. Cry about it. Ain't no new game out until Baldur's Gate 3 worth playing, and I ain't playing that till I play the other two.
My started overheating after two years of use
Probably should change the thermals but i don't wanna open it
Everyone was looking at you funny because you were gaming in public at an airport, and on a laptop too
>Everyone was looking at you funny because you were gaming in public at an airport, and on a laptop too
I play on my Steam Deck and watch ultraman at the airport. Yes, I do the Ultraman pose in public when he shoots his laser too. Playing some loud ass gaming laptop covered in LEDs is too cringe for me though.
People game on laptops in airports all the time, you fricking autist
i met a guy who plays vr on a gaming laptop KEK
I still live with my parents so i kind of have to use a laptop
If i need to leave i don't want to lug around a large desktop + monitor + keyboard & mouse + VR headset
Its just more portable and convinient, and lets me play games in bed
>If i need to leave i don't want to lug around a large desktop + monitor + keyboard & mouse + VR headset
Lets be real, you're never moving out
I'll move out eventually. The cost of living here in toronto is too high, so im just taking advantage of not having to pay rent and am saving money.
Alot of people here live with their parents
>anime avatargay
>lives with parents
lol
lmao
then maybe you should save your money up instead of spending it on computers and video games and vr and you won't live with your parents anymore
I could move out right now if i wanted to
I just don't want to yet because of how high the cost of living is.
But i save most of my money
Also i was really sad before hand when i didn't have anything
I would just cry for no reason and would feel down all the time
Buying video games made me feel better atleast
>I still live with my parents so i kind of have to use a laptop
what does this mean? do they not want you to have a desktop? did you convince them that he 5000 dollar gaming laptop was necessary for collage?
>5000 dollar gaming laptop
I bought mine for like $850. It has a 3050
I'll probably upgrade soon
Also i'm not a student, i have a job
I bought it myself
Yes my $500 laptop runs games worse than a $700 desktop. But I have hundreds of Steam/GOG games I’ve never downloaded that it can run. As well as plenty of others that I can choose to play again, such as Warlock: Master of the Arcane, MOO2, Jagged Alliance, Endless Legend, and Loom.
I felt for a laptop because there was no gpus in stock for almost 2 years.
Same. Just lucked into this desktop about a month ago for 300. Little old but it's a good start for upgrading. 3600X, 32 GB DDR4, and a 1080 OC. Laptop's currently in a drawer while I decide what to do with it.
sounds like a (you) problem
>I took it to a airport to game while I was waiting and everyone looked at me funny.
thats becausse you were using an oversized piece of crap rather than something that looks normal.
>that laptop
Current ones are like 3.3kg at its heaviest. No more 4.5kg chonkers.
But yeah if you're planning on staying in the basement forever then buying a gayming laptop is a dumb idea.
Should've gotten a steam deck. I literally get people asking me what it is and if they can watch for a bit. Even had a father ask me if it's worth buying just to play some games while waiting to pick up his kids in the car.
Laptop is fine if you only want to play older stuff. Anything from 2015 and backwards will run fine on a cheap low end gaming laptop. Buying a laptop to play modern games is silly.
Just bought today:
>AM5 Mobo
>7800X3D
>7900XT
>64GB of RAM ( dual channel kit )
Thinking about buying a SeaSonic PSU this time around bros, they still make high quality PSU's?
Also looking for a new minimalistic tower, have my eyes on the Fractal North, anyone have it? Concerned about the new console HUEG GPU's conflicting with the case.
Decided to go AMD and drop nVidia after non-stop driver issues as of late. Also dropped ASUS brand shit too, tired of their shit QC.
>turn on gaming laptop
>open steam
>launch elden ring
>VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>can barely hear the sounds in game over the wind tunnel fans blaring
>keyboard is hot enough to cook an egg on
>say frick it and crack an egg on it
>holy shit it works
>throw some bacon on too, why not
>eat delicious breakfast
gaming laptops are kino
I put a dowel underneath my laptop and thats enough to create some airflow
Enough to make it so that its not too hot.
Thinking people care about you or even notice you in public when you're doing something as boring as gaming on a laptop is a symptom of psychosis.
>gaming laptops get too ho-
at this point why not just buy a desktop?
Portability/flexibility. I'd much rather a desktop, but when I had to sacrifice my desktop to my mom to replace the tower I built for her almost a decade prior, I bought a laptop because pandemic pricing made getting a new desktop completely unobtainable. Having something that breaks down quickly and can transport more easily does make sense for some use cases, like people that are trying to stretch a laptop they bought during the coof into something more viable long term.
>Light laptop for low spec gaming up and about
>Beefy PC for higher spec gaming at home
Ideal combo
Which one should I buy, TUF 4060 or Legion 3060? TUF has better GPU and cheaper, but I heard ASUS sucks. Legion is pricier and older but has good reviews so far.
>Desktop
I could, but I also need portability since I tend to go to my 2nd house during holidays.
