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.

Its probably a thermal paste issue. I repasted mine, mostly out of fear it was using that HP liquid metal paste because I had to stick mine vertically into a backpack for extended periods.

For a laptop I would reccomend a HP Omen Transcend 14 or the Asus g14 and wait for a black friday sale or something. Only gripe I have with gaming laptops, especially the thin and light ones that I reccomend is that they throttle the wattage on the GPUs. Personally I am a heavy gamer, but if I had t

Hi, technician here. I would say, for the best specs, at that price, go with HP. As some have pointed out, they have the Omen and Victus series.

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

I use a HP Omen Transcend 14" for work, travel and study and I love it. For context, I'm not a student I'm an IT professional so I do tend to keep it plugged in and it is frequently docked as well to a pair of docking monitors so be mindful that may colour my experience a bit. Overall though the 16:

While MacBooks like the M1 Air are great for light productivity, they simply aren't built for gaming. They lack the dedicated graphics, high refresh-rate displays, advanced cooling, and broader game compatibility that modern games require. Most AAA titles aren’t supported natively on macOS, and the
