What do I look for? I'd like something powerful enough to run games, just in case I'm away from my console, but it'll mostly be used for work. Ideally I'd like it to be durable, because I'll probably have to take it on flights when Covid eventually burns out.
What's the lesser of two evils with Intel and AMD? One is run by a woman, the other talks about the future belonging to women.
I suppose I could buy used and negate that issue.
What's a good brand to get? I always had Lenovo before, except for a Surface Laptop that barely lasted a year.
Funny story about the Switch. I technically have one.
It's still sitting in the packaging, because it was a gift from someone I cut off over BLM support after knowing them for years. I don't even want to know how much the shipping was, to get it from the United Femdom to me.
Anyway, yeah, what I've gathered from this thread is that gaming laptops are heavy, fragile and impractical. I guess I'll just use xCloud instead and get something light and easier to take around with me.
I think I remember you mentioning that Switch before. I don't even have a Switch and still there I was recommending. Maybe I go to Nintendo if they ever make a Switch successor, but I'm hoping to not get too mad at Microsoft in the meantime. I'm way too invested in Xbox games.
Yeah, I've had it a while. I feel like opening it would be like accepting her apology, so it just sits on a shelf near my desk as a reminder of my principles of never giving second chances.
Microsoft will probably announce a ton more awful exclusives in the next few days, so be ready for that. I've kind of realized I could never try to boycott MS on top of everything else I already avoid.
