Hey /g/.
I need some help. Over the past year I've been deployed twice and its becoming a real problem having to constantly move my PC around to play games.
Would I be an idiot if I bought a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. I just looked at the prices and almost had a heart attack.
My current PC has a 4th series i5 and GTX 980. I don't know how much its worth because I've been upgrading it over the last 3-4 years but if I sold it I could probably only get a modest "gaming" laptop.
so, do you guys have any budget minded recommendations... Pic related because I would rather shoot myself than own this.
I got no recs but a couple suggestions. If it's got the specs you need it to, you have a reason for the form factor for that kind of purchase. Alternatively, look into building something yourself with a case made for easy transport. Small form factor or handles?
Depends what you play
I get by gaming just fine on my X220

I'm in the Merchant Marine, so I got a gaming laptop for the same reason.
asus rog gl702 for about $1,200
msi also makes some good ones for relatively cheap.
if you're looking for cheaper ones then dell makes an inspiron with a 1050 for like $700

Get the dell or acer $700 1050 laptop, both are very capable and are enough to play games. Don't be a graphics fag i bought a 1070 laptop and it wasn't worth it
I been planning on getting a laptop and then building an external gpu that it can plug into, that way I can have a regular laptop to do stuff I need to do with a computer, then just plug it in at home if I wanted to play a game which technically would be a horrible waste of my time but would have the added benefit of not generating heat having the gpu inside of the laptop case.
