Hrm … maybe. I like being semi-portable with my laptop. This is my third as my primary gaming rig, before that I had all roll-my-own built systems where I chased the pricing for each item. With a gaming laptop, the dream is usually chasing a current gen GPU 12 months post PC announcement or better, once they announce a new tech for PC. For better pricing, a bit longer than that. Watching things lately, a gaming laptop with a GTX1080 can be found for around $1300-$2000 or so, a little more if you need bigger drives initially (I do not.)
If I had a small enough form factor PC, I might do it, but I would worry the price wouldn’t be too much less. That’s probably a question for the gaming rig thread. Thanks for making me consider it at least, Scott. I’ll post there too.
