raid or just.loose drives?

Depends on the usecase

my man got the raid toggle

Y'all know any good laptops for about 1000 USD that could both handle gaming and not be too gamery for everyday carry and taking notes at uni etc

asking for a friend

choose 2 from next: Battery life, Performance, Weight,Price

>laptop
>gaming

HAHA DAE ARROW

shut the fuck up

@Tervy perfect would be somewhere in the middle for all but we know thats not a thing

yeah for you its either notes and no cable .. or games and cable everywhere

check out dell i like their laptops

performance doesnt have to be top notch, my friend doesnt play aaa games at max settings

What's "gaming"for you

something that can run modernish games at medium-high settings?

I dont know shit about gaming laptops, so my perspective might be skewed

give few game examples

and it helps a ton

Is E-GPU an option

maybe something like a 1060 (2060?) and an i7, 16 gigs of ram and 500 gb ssd?

forget weight and batterylife

1060 laptop = 3kgs + right there

Gaming laptops are all terrible value

and most like looks

what about something with good enough specs to run csgo at a good framerate?

Literally ANY laptop besides a Wal-Mart special can do that

a 1050 should handle that game easily

yeah Im asking him right now what he wants to compromise

if he doesnt want to compromise at all, I'll just tell him to buy a laptop for general use and pc for gaymen

or pay more

how much more we talkin

depends how non-gamery you want it to look not much

**more**.

well hes currently wagecucking somewhere in Maine

Maine is a comfy state

although hes a fellow lithu irl friend

so hes thinking of buying there and bringing the laptop back here

since that would avoid 21% VAT

But the best logical choice, 100% of the time, is to have a light weight laptop for general use, and a gaymen PC for gaming

Buy e-GPU is a possibility now. Get a laptop with thunderbolt support , and for another 400-500 you can get the dock and a GPU, and then you also get expandability down the line
