Gaming Laptop

Posted 21st Feb 2023
Hi everyone, I've been a member for quite some time, love hotukdeals and this I think maybe my first discussion.

Anyway, I am thinking of purchasing a gaming laptop for use with a meta quest 2. Think it needs to be high spec to run games like half life altx, with a usb c port been told.

Been looking at a Lenovo Legion 5 with a gtx 3060 or 3070 card. Or an Asus Tuf f15 with similar specs.

Will this be ok, and do you think it is worth waiting until newer updated laptops with 4 series cards release in April. I hope that prices will drop with people upgrading.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks..

    Why a laptop? You get much more bang for the buck if you go desktop.

    Just got used to using laptops, and like the portability of them.

    It's always gonna be worth waiting... if you dont mind waiting.
    Id spring for 32gb of RAM, because I can see required specs for Half Life AltX say 12gb min.
    other than that, they seem good contenders.

    the effects of heat, in a laptop unit - thats always worth checking up on in any reviews/writeups.

    I will probably need to get a laptop where I can expand the ram.
