I bought a gaming laptop
Was looking at the steam deck as per my other thread, then decided I would need a second screen since I’m am blind. Was browsing and found this mfer https://amzn.eu/d/70S8R73 and contemplated for a full second buying this and a series s. Then whatever voice of reason I have left kicked in and said “just buy a -blam!- laptop you absolute spoon!”
So here we are.
I got an ASUS Tuf 17” with an RTX 3060 and intel i7-11800H and a 1TB SSD
Seemed reasonable for £999, not that i have the foggiest so please feel free to laugh in my face.
Also is the least ‘gamer’y that I could find. Dell do some nicely spec’d sleek things but I’m not dropping 2K on a laptop thanks but no thanks.
Review after a couple days:
Screen is fine, definitely not OLED category though I didn’t expect as much.
Speakers are dogshit.
Runs the new Lego Star Wars flawlessly so is as powerful as I need it to be at the moment.
Yes, I’m sure you could build a better desktop for less, but portability is more important for me.

Asus makes solid products, so I'd say you made a quality investment.

Edited by kellygreen45: 2/1/2023 1:55:01 PMAssuming an exchange rate of about 1.5 US dollars to the pound, that’s a good price for a laptop. I’ve been pricing laptops here for an audio project (isn’t as resource intensive as gaming, but close) and every one I could find that was sufficiently spec’ed was at least $1500. Edit: just looked up the exchange rate, it’s 1.23 to 1. So that is a VERY good price….

1 ReplyThat's actually a bang up price for a laptop of that quality... Where did you get it from?
