    PCs. Gaming laptops kinda suck IMO, especially their cooling. They also can’t really be upgraded and are much more expensive for the performance. For mobile PC gaming I much prefer a Steam Deck.

      I should have read your comment before I replied. Couldn’t agree more. Going back to a PC from a laptop soon and pretty excited about it.

    PC for sure. Upgradable, no battery to wear out. Significantly more power and dead silent. I take my laptop on trips, but those are pretty rare.

    More like gaming desktops or laptops. Desktop and laptop are a form factor, PC is just a personal computer. Rage all you want, apple users, a Mac is a PC.

    Laptops are uniformly awful.

    You can’t upgrade or replace the GPU or CPU, the hinge assembly is mechanically vulnerable, a cup of coffee over the keyboard is game over, the screen dies you’ve got a ridiculous cost to fix, the cooling sucks, the ergonomics suck, and you pay about double the price for half the specs.

    You need a proper screen and keyboard at your desk anyway, so unless you’re hotdesking with the thing, it’s just going to act like a shitty desktop most of the time.

      Have you seen the Framework 16? Not the most powerful gaming laptop, but you can replace anything (including the GPU and the mainboard).

    I’m not sure what PCS is, but I’ve never owned a gaming laptop. I game mostly on a desktop, or play games that can run on a fairly standard laptop. Though I’ve not had a laptop since 2018, and got by with a desktop and tablet.
