Google suggesting a garbage sellout article with bad advice. Not like it's hard enough for newcomers to learn about tech or anything. (media.kbin.social)

And this doesn’t just apply to their recommended news section, this is Google in general.

Googling for technical topics without appending the name of a forum website (like stackexchange, hacker news or that other one) has been a trash experience for years. Shovelware top to bottom.

It's funny how the author calls a ZenBook 14X as a gaming laptop, complains that the fan is too loud and he has to turn down the settings, and still claims it is a better alternative to a PC into which he failed to install an i9 into because he forgot to read the documentation. Massive cope

I've been building (my own) PCs for 20 years and he's not wrong. I recommend a laptop to everyone now after having owned a proper gaming laptop. The only time a desktop is needed is either end of the spectrum. Really cheap or moneys not an issue.

The portability is so incredibly convenient, and assuming someone is fine with midline performance, you're only paying a premium for convenience. $100 PSU, $300 GPU, $300 CPU, $100 RAM, $100 M.2, $100 Monitor. Should make a pretty snappy rig, huh? Add $300 for SFF and you've literally got my laptop I use for gaming. Does 2k at 60 reliably on demanding games on high if not ultra. If I want all the bells and whistles I play at 1080p.

It's amazing what value you can get if you're not concerned with 144/165 at 4k at Ultra Settings, and here's the thing, the target audience for this article isn't concerned about the above either. Enthusiasts love to flex nuts about what their PCs can do, but by definition most people aren't. So who could have guessed that laptops are the more enticing option for most people?

I feel so fucking privileged that I don't have to write crap like this for a living.

Tom’s guide has been at the top of google search results for years now. They should write an SEO article.

Whenever my friends who are new to PC gaming or just PCs in general ask me about building a PC I tell them it's like building with really expensive Legos. Just take your time, be patient and make sure to watch some guides before and during the build. If they really need help I just go over and help walk them through it.

It seems that Future Publishing paying a lot for suggested news on Google News.

Mostly, Vulcan have seen Tom's Guide, Techradar, PC Gamer, and Creative Bloq.
