    I get a nervous inhalation each time an acquaintance asks me for advice in buying a gaming laptop.

    Their computing world started with laptops, and they want to extend the idea. It’s so hard to express to them it’s generally not a good one.

      Yeah right, especially with handheld devices becoming increasingly popular. The steam deck was by best purchase by far, in terms of fun per pound spent. And there’s much more powerful alternatives out there now.
