I'm a sellout

[Astros Fan]

Tired of the desktop rat race and the giant box in my office. I've built several PCs since I built my first in the 90s. I've gone to laptop/external display setup.

I picked up the ASUS G15 AMD Advantage and paired it with a 27" QHD panel. I also got a 60% wireless RGB keyboard and wireless mouse with a nice bluetooth headset. This setup works great. I have my laptop when I go to the inlaws and need to escape into Wasteland 3 or Battletech, and then at home I just plug my dock into it and I have a full desktop setup. The best of both worlds. Plus I can stream my Xbox Series X to the monitor and just play that way too.

So TLDR I sold out and ditched desktop gaming for a laptop....also see ya'll next year as I forgot about Sharky until I got the birthday email. Hope everyone is well.

That isn't selling out, that's being practical! I have two excellent rigs, yet I'd gotten myself a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (AMD R7 5800H, 2x8GB DDR4 3200, RTX 3070 140W, 2560x1600), pretty beefy for a laptop, but I wanted to be able to game. It handles DSR pretty well too, not exactly blazing fast but but playable framerate for a good gaming experience. Oh yeah, I'd gotten a Keychron K2 w/l KB and an Asus TUF Gaming M4 w/l mouse for gaming as I hate the feel of membrane KBs.

Good luck with your laptop, and keep on gaming dude!

It sounds like you've made a solid upgrade, embracing the versatility of a laptop while still getting that desktop experience when you need it! Honestly, with the power of laptops like the ASUS G15 AMD Advantage, you're not really "selling out"?you're evolving. The convenience of portability, paired with a clean and powerful home setup, is hard to beat. And with your wireless setup, it?s like you?ve truly streamlined the experience.
