Here’s my comparison between a RTX 3080 gaming desktop and the current RTX 2080 laptops. Which one offers more performance for the money? Which one lasts longer? Easier to repair? Easier to configure and buy? Better warranty? Its all so complicated, so I’m going to try and help people choose what’s best for them.

    I don’t know how to upgrade

    I think laptop are the winners cause thay are smaller strong pretty sick
    And PC’s are big lots of parts which I personally can’t learn the names and functions for what dude just buy a gaming Alienware 👽 gaming laptop it’s small portable easy to use.
    Overall I think gaming laptops are going to rule for the next generation
    Gaming no offense just my opinion
    DATTEBAYO✌️🙌

    All I really care about is being able to run Minecraft with shaders at atleast 60FPS and Roblox with 60FPS.

    I don’t know why I’m here I don’t game. The laptop is good enough for me. My dad has a friend who recycles(?) laptops and sells them for a very cheap price (100 -200 euros). Basically, he would get those laptops from the stores that can’t be sold anymore and have some sort of defect, so he gets a shit ton of those then just makes one good working out of multiple not-so-working laptops. It’s confusing. I had a 100 euro laptop for almost 4 years. It’s still working it’s just very slow, and I don’t want it to just completely die on me. So my dad got me a new laptop a few days ago. it works perfectly fine I can watch youtube, movies, download music. Everything was already installed and ready to use I just had to set few things up like moving things from my old to the new laptop. personalizing etc.

    I would go with laptop but that is mostly cuz I have to buy a desk and a monitor which should add around $600 more to the pc cost where in a laptop it has a monitor and I can just use my living room table



  6. im Tripp on May 5, 2021 at 3:32 am

  7. mhd 2113 on May 5, 2021 at 3:34 am

    danke sehr

    One factor that isn’t obvious to most people is where you live also matters. In some countries or locations where electrical service blackout relatively frequently, desktop will become even more expensive because you have to invest in UPS as well or risk damage to your PC. And UPS for continuous gaming isn’t cheap, if you go with a cheap UPS, all it can do is to gives you 5-10 minutes to save your works and shut down your PC without damage, not for uninterruptible works, let alone gaming.

    Laptop on the other hand can cruise for the next hour or two with its built-in battery at the minimum, which hopefully the electrical service will be back by then.



  9. VicaMOOR on May 5, 2021 at 3:35 am

    Bro WUT da feK? i just want something fast, versatile, and reliable for music production, graphic design, and animation. money ain’t a issue, but I would like more bang for my buck.

  12. Rafael Nogueira on May 5, 2021 at 3:41 am

    I was a desktop gamer once, After I tested Macbook Pro with M1, so fast silent and beautiful and portable…. I just sell all my computer parts and my RTX3070…. For now on, laptop is the way.
    And the most important, the next 2 to 3 years the gaming streaming services will be rocking. Geforce Now and Xbox Cloud Streaming, people will not buy big junk graphics cards anymore



  13. Abdelrahman Alaa on May 5, 2021 at 3:42 am

  21. ShortzYT Transit & Gaming on May 5, 2021 at 3:52 am

    I have a laptop and a desktop since I travel a lot, and when I’m bored, I can load up screensharing apps like TeamViewer and play my games from there. Best of both worlds 😎



  22. Jakobi ARIES on May 5, 2021 at 3:53 am

    Mobile streaming is trash its super delayed its unplayable



  23. ChrisDSX on May 5, 2021 at 3:53 am

  29. Tommy 2pieceYa on May 5, 2021 at 3:59 am

    Get a gaming laptop, plus, 1080p with the right color profile, looks better than 4K.



  30. The Alpha dude on May 5, 2021 at 4:01 am

    Typically speaking



  31. ThebigZ on May 5, 2021 at 4:01 am

    If I get a gaming monitor for I need a pc to make it work?



  32. Juan Diego on May 5, 2021 at 4:05 am

    Perfect setup for me: Monitor + keyboard + mouse + mid-high laptop + tablet + budget console.
    Your monitor and console will be with your for at least 7 years.
    Your laptop will be with you for 5 years.
    Your mouse and keyboard will be with you for 3 years max.

    If I build a PC with that amount I paid for my laptop, I could get something more powerful that’s correct, but resale value is greater on laptop and I would also need to upgrade my mobo after 5 years… Also don’t forget the GPU shortage because as long as covid & crypto exists, GPUs will be expensive.



  33. Hijynx87 on May 5, 2021 at 4:05 am

    I built in march 2020 before SHTF ( I knew what was about to happen back in early jan/late dec, thanks mr Jones) recently bought an Aorus 15gXC thanks MaoBiden!



  34. No Internet Service on May 5, 2021 at 4:08 am

    I choose the gaming laptop over the desktop, especially in this year. There is no graphic card available to build a desktop, and after a year or two we may be able to purchase a graphic on msrp, but I still don’t want to plug my RTX 5070 into my old system after two years. For upgrading the CPU I also need to upgrade my mobo, if I upgrade my mobo I also need to purchase Windows license again. A gaming laptop will give you a most balanced system, and I can carry its performance anywhere I go. When I upgrade my laptop I get everything brand new in new designs, and sell my old laptop on eBay for cheap. I spend hours a day with my laptop, and it only cost my a few hundreds dollars per year, it is totally worth it.



  35. Matthias on May 5, 2021 at 4:09 am

    I used to have a desktop but laptop is better for me



  36. AllTheHype 1 on May 5, 2021 at 4:10 am

    Its a goat



  37. Ronan Baig on May 5, 2021 at 4:12 am

    *So we aren’t gonna talk about that flamethrower in the backround?*



  38. Rockport1911 on May 5, 2021 at 4:13 am

    Right now laptops are the cheapest and often only way to get your hand on an RTX3080 or similar 🙂



  39. Fl1ckzy on May 5, 2021 at 4:13 am

    I want to get a pc but my mom wants me to get a laptop for school



  40. Tank Tang ke on May 5, 2021 at 4:14 am

    I only game for like 2 hours and then go too sleep because I work night shift



  41. Dinoboy Mohapore on May 5, 2021 at 4:14 am

    I don’t want to build a pc I want 90fps no 4K I want 1440p and i hate pre-owned pc



  42. RajJ Gaming on May 5, 2021 at 4:15 am

    Pc way better , I used to have laptops and so many issues but in 2018 got gaming pc and never had any issues

  44. Pigeon Picker on May 5, 2021 at 4:19 am

    $100 Desktop + $100 gpu gtx 660



  45. jepoy l on May 5, 2021 at 4:20 am

    For gaming desktop is a good choice.



  46. cats 2 on May 5, 2021 at 4:20 am

    What



  47. GravyGames on May 5, 2021 at 4:21 am

    i bought both i bought a pc with the latest motherboard with a Ryzen 5 i think and a gtx 1650 and i bought a laptop (acer nitro 5) and for those wanting to know which one is great well id recomend a pc for gaming since you can upgrade it the downside is that you cant carry it around so yeah but a laptop id recommend it for gaming too but you cant upgrade it so 50 years later that laptop prob wont be able to handle new games but its portable id recommend it for homework meetings editing and yeah gaming its basically like a phone



  48. BubChub on May 5, 2021 at 4:21 am

    Laptop is a better deal. More half of them include a HDMI Port so if you want to make it a desktop get a monitor keyboard and mouse and there you go.



  49. TaFu on May 5, 2021 at 4:21 am

    can i run games like warzone with good graphics and like ate least 80-90 fps with a laptop priced at like 1600$?



  50. Keala808 on May 5, 2021 at 4:23 am

    yeah I’ll just stick to consoles
