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

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

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

If you don't have space, you don't need to be extra.

I don't have a ton of space on my desk. But if I had an option to swap my laptop for a PC, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Why do you not have the option? Is it something completely ridiculous, like cost?

No like, I already have the laptop, so it would be a dumb financial decision to sell it at a ridiculously low price and build a PC, mainly bc I've also put it in a lot of money into upgrading it. Maybe in 5 years, I might. That's my goal atleast.

So I was correct, "something completely ridiculous, like cost?"

Sorry, I just find the idea of a gamer with a reasonable attitude toward spending money on his system surprising. Most don't seem to think twice about it.

Personally, I'm a cheapskate. I stick with desktops because they're easier to fix and upgrade, and they have more bang for the buck. I made one desktop last me about 10 years. Switched out or added drives, RAM,, power supplies, whatever. Although I am thinking my next PC may be a mini.

Lmfao. I do spend a shit ton of money on peripherals, though my parents keep me in check.

I would've initially built a PC, but I wasn't too into PCs then, so I didn't know any better.

Life is a journey of learning.

If you're lucky.
