The only downside is that I don't have the most advanced model (no 2nd battery and no fingerprint reader)
But that's mainly quality of life stuff
Thats still missing the laptop you are using to remote into desktop (so extra 100-300) and does not have apparently bluetooth nor wireless
I got that too, its ok and ryzeb
N
For the laptop I assumed you didn't want to include it but yeah since it's 100 USD cheaper (and once again probably more if you lurk for good deals) you can get a difference big enough for a good laptop
And if i were bitch id say its also missing the assembly service :P
Bluetooth and wireless are... well I'll say unecessary but it's mainly my usecase
Though it's probably gonna be around a few tens bucks
And assembly yeah it's gonna be nitpicking here
It's really easy af nowadays
But indeed same pricepoints for near equal performance with more effort and zero mobility
What's the ryzen one?
I mean what CPU do you have with that x200 ?
Then ofc inbuilt ups on laptops is nice feature at times
Yeah, but you're forgetting a lot of stuff if you just stop the comparison here
Here I took it from nothing, like you don't own anything beforehand
If I were to apply that to me or a lot of people I could re-use my case /PSU/ screen and maybe a few other things (SSD and *maybe* ram)
So you could scratch it from the list
(because let's be honest, upgrading a laptop is a joke)
but i do admit that comparing desktop vs that Helios was intentional as AC-wireless and 144hz+ IPS monitor rises the price quite bit
but yeah they are equal prices in paper just for different kind of preferences and usage times
i would never work on laptop more than 3 hours continously (even that is at times pushing it)
unless it has proper extra screen and kb+mouse
but most people know they dont need it that much but still want that performance for when they do
To be perfectly honest though
If you want to compare laptop to desktop
In gaming i mean

You should probably compare mid/high end laptop WITHOUT GPU and use an external GPU
Just like a desktop, the case is gonna be costy the first time, but it's gonna be reusable with future generations
And you're gonna get almost desktop performance without killing your components with the heat
(or not that much)
true even tho that still defeats the mobility and form factor what laptops give
but that makes them tad bit more upgradable
Yeah... but then I imagine a use case where you don't game in a plane/train but in a more "stationary" position
So installing your external GPU is possible
indeed
