VR and laptop in the same sentence in most cases should be a crime. only if your not deliberate like me, but since i bought mine half a year before getting my quest 3 i made that shit work as PCVR was not worth missing. price point is great for getting ur foot in the door. I got my ($1500) Omen Tran

I was drawn to this post on Christmas morning. Thanks for sharing your experience! A YouTuber who really loves the Zephyrus G14 is always saying "if you game on battery, get a handheld," but you have pointed out the downsides of that advice too. My first ever gaming laptop is the 2024 HP Omen Transc

I went with HP Omen Transcend 14" on Ultra Core 9 285H 64Gb RAM. It is just 1.6 kg, charges from 140W type-c and it can switch from RTX5070 dGPU to Intel iGPU to prolong battery life. Works just perfect for me. Metal casing and OLED are nice bonuses plus upgraded its stock Kyocera 2Tb with Samsung 9

Hp omen transcend 14. Best of both world. Doesn't looks like a gaming laptop. Gorgeous oled display and around 7-8 hour battery on normal igpu mode Aluminum alloy build and is not that heavy compared to other gaming laptop (only 1.6kg)

As someone who own both an Omen Transcend 14 (Core Ultra 9 185h/RTX 4070) as well as an Asus laptop (Rog Strix G16, Core Ultra 9 275hx/5070ti) I can't in good faith recommend an Asus device as I had to have my entire motherboard replaced just 2 months after purchase due to it completely dying (cover

For the budget range you listed there are quite a few laptops that fit. Coming in just under the Flow you have the following: G14 with 5070ti (open box for about $1600 at Best Buy) G14 5070 (check the spec on whatever you’re looking at some of them only have 16gb of RAM) Omen Transcend 14, 5060 and

The specs are good enough for you to complete your degree without problems. HOWEVER that price for a refurbished machine with that specs is horrible. You can go for one of 2 routes, save some money with a similarly speed laptop, or go for a more powerful machine 1.- Save some money -Lenvo LOQ 15: Go

Laptop - Weight ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 - 1.5 kg HP Omen Transcend 14 - 1.6 kg ASUS TUF A14 - 1.46–1.5 kg Coming from a 1.79kg 15 inch laptop these would be much much more portable. For me gaming just a leisure thing. I have been on a potato pc all these years, now that i will get something really cap

I almost always stick to gaming laptops. For someone with your requirements I'd actually recommend something like the HP Omen Transcend 14 (my configuration is a Core Ultra 9 185h/RTX 4070 paired with a 2880x1800 120hZ OLED display). I recommend it bc it's thin, light, has excellent build quality as

Omen transcend 14 is around 2.1k on shopee rn and it's only 1.6kg since it's 14 inch. If you want a lightweight laptop the 14 inch ones are just much lighter and very portable. I think old gen zephyrus g14 are also around 2.5k? There's also a bunch of different models out for 14 inch gaming laptops
