Hi all,
I’m looking to get a laptop to replace/compliment my desktop PC.
I currently have a 1080ti and an i7 6700k running at 5GZ.
I require something to use downstairs for gaming and I cba to move my PC, I’ve been using my steamdeck for this purpose so far, but it’s not really powerful enough compared to my desktop so I’m looking for something as powerful or more powerful than my desktop PC.
I’ll be using the laptop with external peripherals mostly, a good mic, keyboard mouse and headphones and an external monitor.
I was looking at the 2023 ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 cause I liked the idea of being able to play on it and watch UFC/Boxing on the extra screen, but it occurred to me that if I’m using an external screen it would be cool to be able to close the laptop and put it out of the way whilst I’m playing without thermals being impacted. That one also has a 4090 which is appealing, but would require purchasing on finance cause it’s £4000.
I saw the Rog Flow which looks cool cause you can fold the keyboard out of the way and still use the built in screen, but it only has a 4070 and I have no clue if that would be an upgrade from my current rig.
My current screen upstairs is 3440x1440 and downstairs is 2560x1080, I don’t have any plans in future to need a higher resolution.
I guess I could throw a couple of grand at this in terms of budget or more if I finance it.
Anyone have any solid suggestions please?
Thanks,
Guru
