vikasps Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hello Gamers, I'm stuck with a dilemma and I need your advice to finalise something. So to give a context, I have been gaming since 10 to 12 years first on laptop then on a PC then not on the PlayStation 4 because during all this time I was at home so I was having lots of free time .But now I have moved to Hyderabad place and I'm undergoing some kind of training and due to which I do not get a lot of free time. So if I want to give I can give probably an hour daily and 4-5 hours in weekends for gaming that much I can do but the thing is I cannot bring my PC or my PlayStation here and I only have a MacBook which as we all know is not the best thing for gaming. I was hoping of getting a gaming laptop something with a 3070 Ti or better in my pricing which is around 1 to 1.25 lakh, but the thing is, I'll be here for an year and even within it I'll be busy in the coming months I'll be more busier in the coming months so I don't know how much time I'll be able to give but I definitely and I desperately feel the itch of gaming because this is something which I was doing for 10-12 years. And once this this first year passes on I'll be done with the training and I'll be having my own home so that I can use the PlayStation because I'll have all the means and then I'll be buying the PS5 that I have planned for sure and therefore I won't be having any use for the gaming laptop. So now I am not sure what to do whether I should go for a gaming laptop but it won't have any use after an year but I cannot live without gaming. Also I like to play,I need to play I feel great playing games so tell me what should I do what is there any third way? And Yes I do not like to sell my things coz I get attached to them. I feel a connect with them so I don't sell my things so selling the laptop after an year is also not an option on the table. So tell me what should i do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablo Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I read through the entire situation. If I were you, I would have align my interest towards handheld console gaming. You can look at Steam deck Asus ally Or simply use mobile phone possible buy Asus Rog or similar spec mobile with joy sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming laptops are not worth it and loose value very very quick, and you are not going to sell it than its not worth it. As said above and steam deck is an better option, unless you want those sweet graphics XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasps Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Thanks a lot @rushab oswal @diablo mates. I agree with your points that getting a gaming laptop is not the wisest thing to do and its not worth it. But the thing is mobile screens/handheld console devices are way too small for me to have an immersive gameplay experience. And the among the first things i look in a game is the Graphics and the level of realism. So handheld consoles are not great in that regard. Thanks for the idea though. Plus I can't get the PS here coz TV is Sh*t here. It will be like playing PS2. Edited November 30, 2023 by vikasps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just get a cheaper laptop 1.2 lakhs is honestly not worth it unless you can afford that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I've never been a fan of gaming laptops with how bulky and heavy they can get. You should get a Nintendo switch tbh.

CarbonCore Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 If you're not bothered by used laptops you can get a 3080 one for under 1L. I personally bought one with 3070 for 80k and was honestly blown away by how far gaming laptops have come in terms of performance, especially with DLSS/FSR tech. In most games my laptop runs circles around PS5 versions unless the game is really badly optimized. Just make sure to check the max GPU watts, do not buy those 80 or 100 watt 3070/3080 laptops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
