I am a human man. I like to do human man things. The activities I participate in most frequently are sleeping and eating. Unfortunately this inevitably also leads to pooping, but we all do what we must, right?

What else can I write about??.. I love gaming. I also love my family, but slightly less than gaming. Oh, also memes, love memes; these would probably come in second place actually.

  • Not what you’ve asked, but I’ll give you this as a perspective (which you can discard if you wish):

    Gaming laptops combine too many compromises to be worthwhile. Big, hot, noisy, expensive, nerfed performamce. Portable gaming can’t really be portable if you have to find a desk and a power socket and carry around a controller separately.

    I would recommend:

    1. Buy a secondhand enterprise laptop (Dell or HP or whatever you like, as businesses like these and they tend to flood the secondhand market after spending their prior life on a desktop dock in some office). If it’s just for office work, browsing, etc then just get an 8th or 10th Gen Intel or something. I got a pristine condition Dell with i7 10th gen and 16gb RAM and 512GB NVME for £150 (couple of years ago). It has been great for work. Put Linux on this.

    2. Buy a proper handheld console for games. Steam Deck used to be the obvious option, but after the price hike some of the secondhand ROG devices give better performance and price. Put Bazzite on this.

    Both of the above combined will probably still be cheaper than most decent performance options for gaming laptops.
