I was going to get this laptop for a mix of things. Plan on starting online college and needed the portability as I only have dial up at home, maybe getting dish internet if we are able to. But I also wanted to be able to play high end games on high settings. That is why I chose the valkyrie, but I have read mixed reviews about ibuypower. Also being able to take my laptop to work or anywhere with wifi so I can update and patch my games, can't do that with a desktop at my house.
So here comes the questions. Should I go with the valkyrie? Reliable, fast? Or should I cancel the order?Is it possible if I get a gaming desktop, no internet connection at my house, to update games if I get a laptop and download the patch onto a disk, then bring the disk to my desktop?
If I can somehow put game updates/dlc/patches onto a disk with a laptop and bring them to my desktop I would gladly grab a cheaper laptop and pay for a desktop.
I would love a desktop as it would last longer and I can replace parts, but the lack of internet at the moment sucks. I like to update games and ftt dlc. If that isn't possible to put on a disk sonehow, then I have no clue what to do. Will dish satellite internet be good for downloading games and patches, etc?
