Could you imagine how many asus warriors on the internet just shielding the brand from any of its flows?, and they have the upper hand cause ironically, you can't find bad reviews and they speak only from their personal experiences but pretend they know much more than that, and the moronic likes just outnumbers reasonable comments despite not taking how expensive it costs to be in this hobby seriously.
I use mine as a console, meaning I game with a pad, i couldn't imagine doing M+K on this thing.
I had a gigabyte on my radar above, I'll look into the brands more.
Don't get a steam deck if you want the pc/laptop experience, I know people love the thing and it's pretty good for what it is but even an old laptop will give you more.
The laptop will be better but it will also cost you at least 4-5 decks worth if not more.
You want a device with specs similar to the PS5. For now, only a good laptop can fulfill your needs. New-generation games (the first major test will probably be Starfield) will likely be challenging for the Steam Deck. What I am referring to is a further date in the future. The handheld PC market is still relatively new, and it has a long way to go.
I'm sorry, I don't know the market that well. But with a Google search, you can find some good options, and there are likely to be helpful recommendations here as well. I don't think you'll encounter too many unpleasant surprises if you avoid buying an HP model. Especially, it's important to find a model with good cooling; otherwise, everything else becomes meaningless.
Aside from basic shit like messing with Device Manager, updating drivers or basic OS functions, I'm not the kind of guy to mess with BIOS!
Some games are starting to require more ram. Hogwart's Legacy is the main culprit.
Oh Yeah. You will be amazed what you can run on them. I ran Cyberpunk on an old laptop.
Until the last sentence, I thought Steam Deck or ROG Ally would be suitable for you. You can play many games from the PS4 era and earlier on these consoles. In the case of next-gen games, ROG Ally seems to provide better performance( can deliver over 60 fps in Diablo 4 and Resident Evil 4 Remake, near 60 fps in Hogwarts). However, you should still be prepared to lower the settings, experience FPS drops, and play some games at 30fps or below. Especially upcoming games like Starfield and beyond may put a strain on these devices. Perhaps waiting for ROG Ally 2 or Steam Deck 2 would be a better option for you? I think you can decide based on Starfield's performance.
I still have my 1070 laptop kickin around and it still works great. Only thing that needs to be replaced is the battery. I use it as a stationary music producing computer that I have a monitor for. I bought another gaming laptop that’s a 3070 a few years ago and still runs everything at high settings. Both are ASUS.
Point proven. Your 1070 gaming laptop no longer is used for games, after what 7 years?
I was playing street fighter 6 on it yesterday. It’s still good at playing pc games on medium to high settings. Only reason why I got a laptop with the 3070 was to run the RPCS3 emulator since I needed a better cpu and emulation is big on cpu.
OLED screens will not last as a PC screen, you're going to have your Windows taskbar burned in after a year of use
There are laptop stands with a fan underneath them.
Search "8gb vram" on google
Don't buy a graphic card with less than 12gb vram(such as 3070, 4060, 4060 ti 8gb version). Wait for 16gb version of 4060ti if you can.
Use the auto-hide feature for the taskbar. I did this when I used my OLED TV for my PC. No problems.
Some of their newer models are very nice but historically, they had some build quality issues and are hard to find good sales on. Imo Lenovo and Asus are consistently the best bang for the buck.
Thats a nice laptop.
