      I will when someone makes a GPU that can surpass a 4090. Not even Nvidia themselves can pull that off, so I’m not getting my hopes up.

      I’m going to be stuck with this GPU for the next decade the way things are going…not that I’m complaining. It’s a beast of a card, especially for someone like me who could only ever afford bargain bin parts until one day I came into a windfall. (That was a fun 4 years.) I don’t have to worry about games being unoptimized because I can simply brute force them with pure GPU processing power. I was getting 90 FPS in Last of Us on launch. Even Cities Skylines 2 runs smoothly.

      I wish there were more laptops using AMD gpus here in Brazil. You basically can’t find any laptop with an AMD gpu if you search for “gamer laptop” in Brazilian stores.

        Gaming laptops are a not really worth it imo. They’re underpowered, overheat easily, and tend to break quickly. That doesn’t even touch on their battery life, even when not under load.I’d recommend getting a steam deck if you really need the portability, but it doesn’t look like they’re available in Brazil :/

          Steam deck and a gaming laptop don’t have the same niche. Laptop is great when you don’t have a permanent spot to setup a gaming computer, or traveling a lot for example, but still want to enjoy full experience. Deck is more for playing “on the go” so to speak.
          Buying gaming laptop was the best decision for me

            You can buy a USB dock and plug every peripheral into the Deck.

            You can use desktop mode, too.

            There is nothing the Deck can’t do. It has weaker hardware, but you can game on it just fine.

            I have mine plugged into a projector, for watching movies or playing games.

          I’d recommend getting a steam deck

          Nah. I want the 15.6 inch screen screen and the keyboard and touch pad that comes with it. The steam deck is too small and I think it’s a little expensive here (Valve is not officially selling in Brazil as far as I know).

          EDIT: didn’t see you already mentioned them not being sold here. I think no third world country has the deck being officially sold for them.
