I hate those weird rigs with lights on them and they cost $3000k like what the fuck. That’s why I got a gaming laptop. It’s great for poasting and codex imho. Im porting 32X Doom atm.

You are missing the point. We both know those fuckers are turning back on if I reinstall windows or something. Or for any other random reason. “They’re USUALLY OFF if you turn them off cowgod 🙄” lol listen to yourself

Also by getting such a PC, you’re The Same as the morons who like lights bc they’re bright and colorful. Hardware has consequences.

ive never understood the point of gaming laptops. who is playing video games while traveling so much that's it's worth lugging one around? 99.9% of the time you're using it at home, and so why not just use a desktop?

i assume you meant "not for"?

and you're right, but how many people like that are doing a lot of travel? sure, they seem worthwhile for autistic dorks that have to travel for work and want to game at the mariott. but that's a very small consumer base, yet gaming laptops are everywhere.

i believe the market is primarily for dorks who are obsessed with tech specs but never actually use the damn thing. or they have it docked into a monitor and kb+m, and then it's functionally a desktop. also video editors and shit that need the specs for other things, and i feel bad for those people most of all because the only product that suits their needs has gay ass RGB LEDs all over the place

ah i see what what you mean.

while this is probably true, i still believe that gaming laptop purchases are almost always aspirational and are used at home 99.99% of the time. and purchased by people that have no business spending that kind of money just so they can have a gaming rig the handful of days a year they travel.

then again, these people otherwise spend their money of pokemon cards and shit.

You’re being Stupid. Kids with divorced parents are like 20% of the hardware market. Portability beats having a Dreamcast at dads house or some shit. Also all the reasons that laptops are useful also apply to Gaming Laptops. Maybe the main setup is in an Open Concept area and you want to look at porn or get away from it all while poasting.

I have a Lenovo Legion Pro 7i with 5090 GPU, 64 GB RAM, 2TB SSD and top of the line CPU. I recommend it to anyone who is interested. Performance is roughly equal to between a 5070-5080 desktop and it’s a whole lot classier than a big prole desktop.
