Exactly. What's the point? Steam Deck exists and is a more reasonable option for gaming than laptops. Get a Chromebook or MacBook Air and a Deck and save yourself a bunch of cash.
dunno about you but where i live you can get a nice gaming laptop for the price of any mac
I guess one would have to define "nice", usually it's power:price:weight pick 2. I am assuming that weight is important, otherwise it's just a portable desktop.
isnt the point of laptops to be a portable desktop?
ThinkPads are true portable desktops. MacBooks are enlarged iPads.
That's the entire fucking point of a laptop.
