Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.

For the last few years I’ve gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don’t think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.

How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?

    Honestly, the age of gaming laptops is here IMO. Most gaming laptops come with insanely good specs for $1500-2000 and with the advent of eGPUs you dont sacrifice on AAA game gfx when at home.

    I got a lenovo legion 2 years ago for $1750, and have been able to play every AAA game release on it without issues without an eGPU. Some of them I have had to run one step down from Ultra, but I am still able to play an amazing looking game without problems.
