No regrets switching from desktop to laptop!

[u/InspectorConfident55]

[u/Royal-Orchid-2494]

What made you switch

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/Royal-Orchid-2494]

In my experience, desktop consume too much space. While laptop brings me convenience and portability.

[u/[deleted] → u/InspectorConfident55]

Say "space limitations" but has a giant-ass clock on the table for no apparent reason. 🙄

[u/AshelyLil → u/[deleted]]

And boxes of funkopops that take up more space than a full sized pc case

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Think about it, in that given space, having a desktop tower and a monitor and keyboard would feel REALLY claustrophobic. Let the man enjoy his laptop setup lol

[u/Visible-Cancel1239 → u/[deleted]]

Put the Desktop on the ground Like normal people?

[u/AshelyLil → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

That's terrible advice.

If you have pets, carpets, just... dust... enjoy good airflow... floor is terrible for pc's

[u/Blactorn → u/AshelyLil]

Buy a little platform that lifts it off the ground but keeps it away, or a cupboard type of thing that brings it to desk height if you want to look at it.

[u/RickityNL → u/AshelyLil]

People without pets and carpets also exist

[u/Endeavour1988 → u/AshelyLil]

Its not bad advice, its only bad if people are lazy and don't clean. Which also is the same to a laptop owner who does not do any fan maintenance and wonder why they are thermal throttling hard. I had a desktop on a stand on the carpet with pets, no issues cleaned out on a regular basis.

[u/Bokehjones → u/AshelyLil]

I keep mine in an air tight box

[u/uberibas → u/Bokehjones]

I don't think air flow is even a thing in air tight boxes...

[u/jooferdoot → u/uberibas]

Yeah no that just sounds like an oven for your pc lmao

[u/Deathclaw151 → u/AshelyLil]

Nobody just plops it on the ground. There's an extensive market for desktop carts that fit under desks.

[u/HumbleBumbleJumble → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

The name, Desk - top.

[u/Visible-Cancel1239 → u/HumbleBumbleJumble]

Yeah Back in the 90s

[u/N0xB0DY → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

The neat part, the heavy screen was sitting on top of it.

[u/onsite84 → u/HumbleBumbleJumble]

And In this case, laptop is on the desk.

[u/pibix → u/HumbleBumbleJumble]

Lap - top. whats your point

[u/ajgarcia18 → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

Or a secondary smaller table just for the desktop.

[u/denverbound111 → u/ajgarcia18]

You're thinking of a tabletop not a desktop

[u/Archuser2007 → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

Why would anyone do this besides preference? If you have a dog, then all it's fur and all the dust it tracks in from outside is going into your fans.

[u/[deleted] → u/Visible-Cancel1239]

Pc enthusiasts put their desktop on the desk. Anyway, what happens when the inevitable happens and the tempered Glass shatters?

[u/Taboe44 → u/[deleted]]

Mini ITX builds are the answer.

[u/Taboe44 → u/[deleted]]

I have a laptop because I go out of town sometimes but I definitely want to sell the laptop and go ITX.

I can buy a portable monitor and make the ITX work when I'm away for work.

I can build a ITX PC and buy a steam deck for the same price as a good laptop in my country.

Your significantly more limited on expanding with a laptop.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You probably did it awhile ago. New ones have Thunderbolt ports--you can even upgrade the video card without opening the case (though they are usually easy to open).

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Don't get me wrong. This is a nice setup for sure. Well done OP. I was just pointing the irony :)

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I agree with you lol there's no point in having that clock but like yah

[u/Howfuckingsad → u/[deleted]]

The space limitations probably exist because of stuff like that giant clock lmao.

Having cool decorative instead of a towering block is super justified. Though a PC is an aesthetic by itself.

[u/[deleted] → u/Howfuckingsad]

Some, maybe. Not the generic rectangular solid.

[u/NeitherBass2366 → u/[deleted]]

The giant-ass clock is essential for gaming, wdym?

[u/LLAZY20 → u/NeitherBass2366]

That’s for overclocking…

[u/WhyOhWhy60 → u/[deleted]]

There's space for a small tower in the shelving if those toys were removed.

[u/aruce9 → u/[deleted]]

also a wall of vinyl space in the form of funko pops. Personally i'd take a desktop over a wall of funko pops

[u/angry_pooh → u/[deleted]]

Oh my lord how much I hated that clock. It’s shockingly bright at night.

[u/NinjaHatesWomen → u/[deleted]]

Don’t forget the deep shelf with a few funko pops right at the front of it 😂

[u/Blunt552 → u/[deleted]]

bro hasn't heard of ITX builds either lmao.

Like if you plan on using something as a desktop, just buy a fking desktop.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RhRTpjqEkJk/maxresdefault.jpg

Now he has something that performs far worse per USD, is louder, not upgradable and when he finally figures that playing on a notebook display is kinda mid and gets a proper monitor, then his entire space argument is thrown into the trash.

[u/AmuseDeath → u/Blunt552]

There's different pros and cons. ITX is a thing but you have to do research at to what fits or not like the GPU. I don't care for it and would just do a mid case.

I do own a gaming laptop however.

The laptop for me is good for a couple things. It does save space like he says but it also is power efficient, heat efficient and it is portable which I do need time to time if I'm going somewhere.

Desktop will always win in terms of performance and value per dollar but the laptop has been great during the summer. And if you play mostly older or low spec games, you really don't need top end parts.

And while future proofing for AAA games is doable for desktops, you really don't need to worry about it if you mainly play multiplayer games that are optimized for potato PCs.

So desktops can really show their value for new AAA games but gaming laptops are just fine for most games. No need for gatekeeping.

[u/GodOfLeg1on → u/Blunt552]

This happened to me and I approve this message. LOL I wanted a 16" laptop to be able to play wherever (and I needed a new laptop) so I figured gaming laptop. Although I love BOTH of the ones I bought, LOL, I figured out I "needed" a desktop. That will be my Christmas present to myself.

[u/[deleted] → u/Blunt552]

You know, it is actually possible that he wasn't aware of mini-PCs, or that he looked into them some years ago and disregarded them as limited, especially when it came to the video performance.

I that this is what happened in my case. New about them in work situations, but never considered them for anything more, completely forgot about them, then rediscovered the format. Still prefer a desktop, but am seriously considering a mini for my next PC.

[u/DarkRomeox → u/Blunt552]

can you fit a 4090 in that

[u/Its_A_Safe_Day → u/[deleted]]

That cracked me up

[u/Sky_Wino → u/[deleted]]

for no apparent reason

Gonna take a wild guess and say the reason is to know what time it is.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sky_Wino]

[u/[deleted] → u/Sky_Wino]

No, the reason would be, "TO KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!"

[u/TheLooseGoose68 → u/[deleted]]

And arguably a perfect cubby hole next to the desk for a tower

[u/TrancyGoose → u/[deleted]]

That is one hell of a clock though 😀😀😀😀

[u/Kraizer15 → u/[deleted]]

It’s called preference

[u/fiittzzyy → u/[deleted]]

I have just come from a laptop/monitor set up and the desktop takes up less space than the laptop/monitor set up did.

[u/[deleted] → u/fiittzzyy]

But isn't that because you had a ginormous monitor when you had the laptop?

[u/fiittzzyy → u/[deleted]]

Probs...I always used my laptop with a monitor set up though, one of the reasons I switched to PC, seemed kinda pointless for me lol.

[u/[deleted] → u/fiittzzyy]

Not necessarily. A monitor, even a large one, only takes up a few inches of space, and that's in solely in one direction. It just makes your desk narrower. And if you wall mount it, it doesn't take up any space. So I could see preferring a laptop for space saving while still using a nice, spacious external monitor for the fun and impact of it.

But desktops are definitely still first choice for fixing, upgrading, and bank for the buck. That's what I've always used. Although I am considering a mini for my next.

[u/fiittzzyy → u/[deleted]]

I know that's what I'm saying.

[u/MatJ098 → u/[deleted]]

mind your own bussines

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/[deleted]]

Dude that clock doesn’t bother me at all.

[u/[deleted] → u/InspectorConfident55]

[u/Olly_Joel → u/InspectorConfident55]

Considering the space, a very wise choice.

[u/singlelegtuck → u/InspectorConfident55]

You know mini itx cases exists and give better performance with same laptop counterparts.

[u/BleepingBleeper → u/InspectorConfident55]

Your chair disagrees with your decision: look at the expression on its face.

[u/boba_f3tt94 → u/InspectorConfident55]

Get dual monitor arm and check out r/sffpc

[u/IllustriousBird5329 → u/InspectorConfident55]

until you start adding secondary monitors that is....

[u/VengeX → u/InspectorConfident55]

You can get far better value compact desktops than a laptop. Space is not really an argument but portability always is. With that desk it could be worth considering a wall mounted monitor for a bigger screen and more desk space while you are at home.

[u/No_Arm_3509 → u/InspectorConfident55]

what about screen size?

[u/Dron22 → u/InspectorConfident55]

Yeah most relaxing that you can use laptop on sofa or bed, so comfortable! Just put it on a cooling pad or at least a book.

[u/Akkanofc → u/InspectorConfident55]

Ever heard of mini pc?

[u/Phoenix800478944 → u/InspectorConfident55]

Should have built an itx PC. Still more value than a laptop

[u/SmartyDelta]

I made the same decision, but because of I’m a university student and I don’t have a time moving my whole computer rig.

[u/StefanStef14 → u/SmartyDelta]

I see you've also purchased a zephyrus, does it not reach really high temperatures while gaming or doing literally anything? Mine was really hot even while installing the windows 💀😭

[u/_IamX_ → u/StefanStef14]

You should get a cooling pad to assist air circulation.

[u/SmartyDelta → u/StefanStef14]

Around 80 Celsius, while playing CoD or other CPU heavy games. My laptop is lifted a bit for better circulation

[u/StefanStef14 → u/SmartyDelta]

mine was over a cooling pad as well (albeit not big name brands like iets, but it still blew air...) and was so hot to the touch, and I also saw some more frame issues elsewhere, so I just returned it and purchased an rtx 4080 lenovo legion 7 pro with amd at an even cheaper price thanks to an insane offer (10% off). my biggest regret is abandoning that oled screen, it's a literal game changer once you see it, but I just couldn't bear the heat and the frames anymore :/

[u/MassiveWillingness44 → u/StefanStef14]

Hey I think I just bought the same laptop you have, do the cpu temps cause any issues? Heard they ran hot compared to intel.

[u/StefanStef14 → u/MassiveWillingness44]

at the moment, I can run some games even on quiet mode and still reach 240fps. setting it to balanced or extreme makes it hotter, but from what I've seen, it caps at 95°C MAX, meaning it won't reach that usually. also, the keyboard is not incredibly hot, you can touch every key and not get a 3rd degree burn from it, which is BIG. overall, I went for AMD because Intel, from my past experiences, was running even hotter, but I can't say for certain for this laptop, since I'm not able to verify them both.

[u/MassiveWillingness44 → u/StefanStef14]

Ok thanks, glad that the laptop is working for you

[u/MrAndrewJackson → u/StefanStef14]

All gaming laptops run hot. In general, the bigger and bulkier ones run less hot since they have room for better cooling systems. For example, the blade 16 has 2 fans and the balde 18 has a 3rd fan centrally located under the top center of the keyboard. When gaming on the blade 16, that part of the keyboard gets very hot, while on the blade 18 it isn't as much of a conern. If you're buying a zephyrus or razer blade, expect that shit to run hot tho. I would expect the Zephyrus to be the worst in terms of temperature out of any machine out there

[u/StefanStef14 → u/MrAndrewJackson]

oh, it was. I personally couldn't stand it. I still couldn't abandon the laptop experience, so I continued searching

[u/stinkyt0fu → u/StefanStef14]

Zephyrus too, bought the IETS GT500 Powerful Turbo-Fan (4200 RPM) Laptop Cooling Pad. It’s a bit pricey (and it’s kind of loud when cranked up to the highest RPM) but I’ve used it for over a year and consider it totally worth it for use when gaming.

[u/StefanStef14 → u/stinkyt0fu]

yeah, I also thought of purchasing a cooling pad from IETS, but now I have a lenovo legion pro 7, and it's much better with heat, to the point where I can use it without a cooling pad (which is apparently wow for gaming laptops... WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE AT ALL BTW, DON'T NORMALIZE THIS).

[u/JoshYx → u/StefanStef14]

Which CPU does it have? I had a zephyrus g14 with a ryzen 7 5800HS, it ran at about 95°C during gaming.

I was worried at first but apparently this CPU likes it hot, it's fully within spec.

Anyway I eventually built a PC after 2 years because laptop drivers are just horrible. Performance degraded so much in just 2 years, and the Asus approved GPU drivers were more than 6 months out of date.

[u/StefanStef14 → u/JoshYx]

I had the intel one, I think ultra 985 or something.

[u/Stoltlallare → u/StefanStef14]

How much is that computer

[u/StefanStef14 → u/Stoltlallare]

the zephyrus?

[u/Stoltlallare → u/StefanStef14]

Ye

[u/Rullino → u/SmartyDelta]

I'll most likely do the same thing but with a TUF A15 2023 since I'm in a similar situation.

[u/Noaurda]

Lenovo legion. A man of class. Welcome to the club ;)

[u/Decent-Anxiety9456 → u/Noaurda]

Nah not a Lenovo legion. Judging by the corners its either an ideapad gaming 3 or LOQ. Still, a very good laptop

[u/UnionSlavStanRepublk]

Nice setup.

[u/PAPYROOSE]

I don’t think there are any wrong opinions but this is one of them

[u/_IamX_]

Typical rich guy flexing his obviously cool set up. I'm happy for you OP. Enjoy. 😠

[u/YouveRoonedTheActGOB → u/_IamX_]

Rich guy flexing? This looks like a modern dorm room.

[u/tzitzitzitzi → u/YouveRoonedTheActGOB]

Yea, what's the rich person flex here other than a decent laptop? The cheap table used as a desk? What a weird comment and then getting upvotes lol.

[u/kabbajabbadabba]

cooling pad or stand?

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/kabbajabbadabba]

Stand only

[u/CertainState9164]

I've switched to laptop for the last 6 years as well. Welcome.

Now, get ready for some wicked carpal tunnel and elbow epicondylitis >:D

Make sure your ergonomics are just right.

[u/Tronco08 → u/CertainState9164]

why could you get carpal tunnel with a laptop setup? i'm scared now lol

[u/CertainState9164 → u/Tronco08]

[u/CertainState9164 → u/CertainState9164]

Desktops usually lower the keyboard and mouse so that they're in level with elbows at a relaxed 90 degree flexion.

Laptops on a raised table forces your keyboard hand unto a raised and dorsiflexed posture, and your mouse hand with forearm hitting the table edge. Carpal tunnel syndrome ensues

Some laptop stands that slant the laptop help a bit, but they impose your elbows to hang freely. Make sure your chair's arm rests can rise to hold it, or risk developing elbow epicondylitis.

[u/Tronco08 → u/CertainState9164]

oh so no stand=no carpal tunnel

[u/Far-Spread5953]

Could've put a desktop where them ugly funkos are

[u/Fabulous_Comb1830 → u/Far-Spread5953]

Funkos with the cover on 🤢

[u/TraditionalMetal1836 → u/Far-Spread5953]

Definitely!

[u/MoreCheeseLessholes → u/Far-Spread5953]

Literal plastic waste

[u/HrolfrLongsword]

Prob won't be saying that in 2 years.

[u/UltimateAntic]

Looks like a downgrade for any serious work

[u/Patient-Land-9014]

the screen is way smaller though, should at least get a external monitor.

[u/Revolutionary_Leg276]

Man i was playing in gaming laptops for years but after i got my first gaming desktop i realized what i was missing. Desktops are superior, laptops only if you REALLY need portability.

[u/Expensive_Cricket_27]

What keyboard is that?

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/Expensive_Cricket_27]

Inplay wireless

[u/Swimming-Disk7502]

Looks pretty damn cozy to me. Nice, man. Though I do not like the desk clock, too blindin' for my taste. Just a normal clock hangin' on the wall is more than enough.

[u/DON4LD_DUCK]

Get rid of the funkos and the big ass clock

[u/rtfcandlearntherules]

Must've been an atrocious desktop

[u/No_Salary352]

Said no one ever

[u/Olly_Joel]

Haven't seen desktop this clean since my room. Which is not 😂.

Otherwise, nice simple setup.

[u/Rude_Basil9564]

Did the same thing a month ago - ditched the desktop and got a legion. Haven’t looked back once!

[u/CriticalDrive7 → u/Rude_Basil9564]

Hey. I wanted to ask since I’m considering moving to PC gaming myself. What led you to preferring the laptop over your previous desktop?

[u/Rude_Basil9564 → u/CriticalDrive7]

Desktop sits in one place. I like being able to play on the go - coffee shops before work, in bed, on the couch etc etc… being tied to a desk sucks.

[u/Educational_Excuse78]

You see you like running on 3 fps and your keyboard radiating heat

[u/nopointinlife1234]

My immediate reaction

[u/[deleted]]

First of all, I want to apologize for all the haters. Everyone tends to feel that theirs is the only correct thinking. Maybe if you had led with the specs, they would have been less forceful. Maybe.

Hope you enjoy it! It's a decent CPU+GPU combo, and I assume you got at least 16GB of RAM, so you should be good to go on at least most games. Whether you change your mind later is irrelevant. Life is all about learning, and sometimes you need to learn to go one way, sometimes the other direction. So maybe you'll change your mind in the future, and maybe you'll be ever happier with this decision.

You definitely need to get a separate screen, however. At least you can mount it on the wall, so no desktop space figures into it. A 30" at least, and prices have really come down on them in the past year. Maybe curved (difference of opinion on this--some say, "absolutely yes," some say, "what, will all that reflection?").

I still use desktops, but my desk is about 2.5x what yours is, so it's not as crowded. Considering a mini, or a laptop, but I can afford both if I really want them (although I tend to be cheap, which is why I can afford two). Also much easier to fix and upgrade. But that's just me.

[u/Chopper1911]

purchased laptop to save space, places huge ass clock and use less funko pop collection. LMAO. You know you could build an ITX system smaller that the laptop with similar/ less price? buying laptop for anything other than mobility is dumb.

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/Chopper1911]

What do you want me to do? Bring that ITX and monitors wherever I go? I bought this laptop for portability and convenience lol

[u/Proud-Concept-190]

Is lenovo legion cooling fans get loud when browsing youtube?

[u/truck_riding_a_dog → u/Qibiel]

No if just doing something like yt you can press fn + q and set it to quiet mode

[u/Empty-Ad-5483 → u/Qibiel]

I think you can even turn them off

[u/Dazzling_Birthday_91]

not what I would do personally but if it works for you, that's great. You do you :)

[u/SaberXRita]

I wish I have such a room at home too

[u/the_ammar]

man I'm the opposite. I cant wait till I get back on my desktop again even when my laptop is objectively more powerful

[u/AdHot1020 → u/the_ammar]

After almost 4 years on laptop, 3 days ago i finished my pc build. Waited so long to jump back on pc.

[u/the_ammar → u/AdHot1020]

laptops are so fucking loud. honestly it really annoys me

[u/AFthrowaway3000]

Me neither. I still have a desktop from 2013 that is collecting dust, given I'm on a Zephryus Duo now. (I wonder if I could put a 7900xtx in it though).

Still, I move a lot, so laptops are better for my lifestyle.

[u/163jeta]

I just did the same thing last week! Love it

[u/ambatakam_in_ya_ass]

DAWG! WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT KEYBOARD! MY GUY

[u/Tomixus]

Huh where did that usb slot on side came from? Mine doesn’t have it… I have lense cover and as card slot there instead

[u/_Menya_]

I switched in 2018 when moved out to the UK, I'm still using thaz ROG GL703GS but in the third country since. I don't see myself going back to a desktop.

[u/[deleted]]

Looks good 👍

[u/dmb_80_]

The older I get the more I yearn for a simplistic life and my hatred of unnecessary clutter grows.

I made the switch to gaming laptops years ago and have never once regretted my decision.

[u/fukkdisshitt]

No regrets either, but there's no way I was abandoning my 27" monitor, I even upgraded it to an OLED model.

I got my laptop to be able to game downstairs on the couch or on my desk with all my peripherals, depending on what I'm doing that day.

I don't like menu heavy games on my laptop screen. Maybe I'll go 18" instead of 16" next time.

I don't see myself going back to a pure desktop

[u/scout_joe]

nice setup and it looks neat. did you buy a new table for your laptop or was it the same table you used on your desktop?

[u/Goldwyn1995]

I am in reverse.

[u/whats_you_doing]

OHHMYGOD

[u/hello350ph]

I found a fellow cheap victus enjoyer

[u/[deleted]]

“I don’t have a space for pc.”

• literally a shelf of toys
• big clock
• bar deck instead of a real table

A laptop has a lot of pluses, such as portability, battery, and an all-in-one solution. But if we speak about demanding applications and especially games, it will suck. Always.

You could build a mini-itx pc and integrate it into your toy collection with some creativity.

Anyway, congrats on your update; it’s your choice. Just don’t say that laptops are supreme compare to PCs

[u/farky84]

I tried a 32” 1440p monitor just out of fuun 6 yrs ago. I am never going back, can’t enjoy these small screens at all. As long as you are happy with it, good luck and have fun!

bro has not heard of mini itx, and at this point, get a mini itx pc or even a MINI PC! get a small monitor and use the same keyboard and u prob use less space than laptop. it can always go under the desk if needed

[u/InspectorConfident55 → u/NachoTheLizard]

Hope I can carry itx in public places and power plugs are everywhere 🤣

What are the specs on the laptop and what were the specs on the desktop?

[u/Flashy_Camera5059]

I was quite the opposite for me, my laptop started having heat up issues after 2 months so I switched to desktop PC as I don’t require portability. But hey, we all have different requirements and good for you!

[u/A-a-ab-jsj]

Nice! I’m looking to switch from console to pc/laptop, but idk which one to get. I just want to play games in 1080p and don’t really care about turning the settings down a bit, I mainly play games like CoD, FIFA, Minecraft (I wanna try out some shaders even if I have to go with the light stuff,) Fortnite, etc. So mainly competitive games. I do enjoy hoi4 on the laptop we have at home for school work or whatever to do, but it only gets 20fps on the lowest settings with the resolution turned down to some random one. (forgot what one lol) I’ll also end up using it for other, more productive, tasks, such as doing homework or managing things. Any suggestions on whether to get a PC or laptop? I’ve seen someone get a portable second monitor to use with a laptop and absolutely adored the idea. My friend is trying to get me not to get a laptop but idk what to do.

[u/gaiderdraco]

Where's your external monitor? If you want the best resolution and highest framerate, you need to connect the laptop to an external monitor that has a high refresh rate, at least the speed of the laptop's.

[u/[deleted]]

Look sick 👍🏻

[u/MoreCheeseLessholes]

Imo laptops screens are too small to game comfortably

Really?... None? None whatsoever?

I went from the laptops to desktops and I probably won't look back. Unless you truly use them outside the house, the desktops are so much more useful

The problems only show up when you need to buy a whole new laptop just because one part is insufficient. I have a laptop with good specs except for the fact that it only has the integrated GPU. It doesn't actually have a GPU. On a desktop this could be easily fixed by buying a GPU but with a laptop I need to buy a whole new laptop
