The larger cases mean better airflow and cooling, which is crucial during intense gaming sessions. Playing Red Dead Redemption on my desktop is buttery smooth, and the visuals are stunning.
That said, my gaming laptop has saved me on countless boring trips. Yeah, it gets hot and loud, but it's portable. If you've got a good cooling pad, you can mitigate some of the heat issues.
Honestly, it boils down to your lifestyle. If you're mostly at home and enjoy modding and upgrading your rig, go for a desktop. If you need flexibility and portability, a gaming laptop might be the better choice.
Anyone here using an external GPU setup for their laptop? Wondering if that's a viable middle ground.
