Hello guys, big dilemma here !
So I've saved enough money to either build a desktop PC configuration, or buy laptop. Keep in mind it's big decision for me, because I'm quite poor and I will be spending 5-6 months worth of minimum wage salary in my country.
I just graduated university and will be moving in another city to work there. Most of the time I will not travel a lot, but sometimes I will go back in my home town to visit family and friends, so that's the only time it would be good to have an laptop to bring, because if I go for more, than 3 days without a computer and will go crazy.
I'm big gamer and am playing games lot's and lot's of time, so that's the bad thing about having a laptop, tough usually the game that I play are not that demanding, Dota 2, Team Fight Tactics, World of Warcraft, Fortnite.
I guess now as I start working and live alone I will have very limited time for games, considering cooking food, going to gym, cleaning etc..., but probably gonna hit 12+ hours sessions during weekends.
With the purchase I hope to don't need new computer for at least 4-5 years, because it is expensive.
I am more leaning towards on buying custom desktop PC build, but kind of want a laptop.
I was thinking to build something with Ryzen 3600, GTX 1660TI, 16GB DDR RAM, 500GB SSD, or buy Lenovo Legion Y540 with similar specifications, but am really afraid that if I buy laptop it won't last as long as PC, because of the heating.
Also with laptop I was planing to hook it to 24' Monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset, since I'm a gamer and can't play to a pesky 16' display, tough the mobility of an laptop will probably really come in handy now since I will be working and living alone.
My main concern is that laptop won't last me 4-5 years as a custom PC build would.
