Looking at a gaming computer at Costco. They are out online, but have some left in our local store. I have been talking myself out of it for 2 weeks now, but may go ahead. I'm not a big gamer, but it would work well for a flight sim I have that runs too slow on my current computers.
Been running them for 10 years now for two people. I run the GTs. The GE look good on spec, but all the ports are out the sides. The Stealth look good too. Very solid build with SteelSeries keyboards. I like the Killer Doubleshot software for automatic network failure roll over too. I usually run mine for 3 years and sell on ebay for about 70% of value paid to a student who wants to game.
I will use it for a flight sim, Eagle Dynamics DCS World, and probably some gaming. DCS needs more power than I have in my desktops to run smoothly. I might play some Call of Duty also. I also have Solidworks through the EAA and it would be nice to run that on a higher end computer.
I got one about 4 years ago, Gaming Series laptop. Best decision I made. I removed Windows and installed Ubuntu with Steam, it is lightning fast.
got the GE66 raider with rtx 2070 super couple of months ago. If you get an msi laptop, don't use dragoncenter. that software is broken. When you first get it, set profile to extreme and uninstall dragoncenter. Then install msi silent option instead. http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/SilentOption_v1.0.1603.3101.zip
Big screen gaming laptops are what I use nowadays (currently on an MSI). Very ergonomic. They sit static on my desk and I don't move them around much (nor do I work during transport), but it's nice to be able to do the occasional infrequent move easily compared to a stationary desktop PC. Main thing is I hate small screen/keyboard laptops after this, though.
how you guys handling external monitors with laptops, are you able to run some high res big monitors?
