If you don't have the space or access to a desktop gaming PC, grabbing a deal on a compact gaming laptop is the next best thing.

I don't see these at all with AMD SoCs in Europe, which is a bit of a shame.

But even with the Intel equivalent they are starting to drop in price as they are being cleared out to make space for their successors: from outrageously expensive they are approaching the €1000 line, which I dislike to cross for a laptop, even with a discrete GPU. And there the markup for a 4070 is becoming very low as well while the difference in capability remains large.

What I like especially is that these have dual replaceable DIMMs which means 64GB is easy and affordable for running VMs, beyond that pricing is still exponential.

Of course storage would be next, but there 4TB units might be tricky when they have flash stacks on both sides.

Typing this on a slightly older Alder Lake touchscreen variant from ASUS with only 40GB and 2TB which triple boots with Win11, Debian 12+Proxmox and Fedora 40 and there is a lot of benefit beyond the financials in chosing the slightly more mature hardware: by the time the software glitches are worked out, hardware these days is declared obsolete.

Which is obviously ridiculous.

hardware these days is declared obsolete

that's because every few years something bloats and everything requires 2x more, this is especially true with operating systems
