If I get a new laptop, you can have my old one 

Thanks. I'll be using it for porn. My current porn laptop is from 2007. It runs Vista and can't connect to modern wi-fi so I had to buy an adapter for it.

 

That's not a joke.

Is it equivalent to the consoles out now? Not the Switch mind you.

 

I have no idea, I haven't really played much on it yet. Based on the benchmarks I've seen it is somewhere in-between this console generation and the last in terms of power.

A quick Google suggests that the PS5, for example, is roughly equivalent to an Nvidia 2070. The GPU in your laptop is a 1650. Here are some comparison benchmarks between the 2070 and your 1650, and yeah I think you're right as far as where it sits vs. consoles.

 

I also have a 1650 Super in one of my PCs and it's fine for older games. It's not going to be able to run the latest and greatest games at full specs in 4k, obviously, but it's a good entry level system and you also only paid $500 for the entire PC. Good find!

That seems like a good deal for $500.


Thank you! I don’t want or need anything next level, I’m happy to play indies/older stuff. Game Pass is intriguing too, especially with MCC on there.

It’s about the twice as powerful as a Steam deck, or about as powerful as the Asus ROG Ally. So really you can play anything as long as you are willing to go down to 720p but tons of stuff should actually be fine at mediumish settings at 1080p.

Buying a gaming laptop was so... Freeing. Glad you made the purchase.

 

Speaking as someone who doesn't tend to stay in one place very long and is right now using my old desktop PC as a bedside table. Women are *very* impressed by my setup.

Hmmm, that’s about my price range for a laptop. I’m not really interested in “keeping up” on the PC side of things, just to basically play my existing Steam library. Let me know how it works out for you after you put it to the test.

If you game on your lap, how hot do your balls get? 

 

I got one of the first run of Intel MacBook Pros back in the day (it wasn't even Core 2 Duo it was just Core Duo) and that thing got so hot it left a fucking straight line welt on my leg. I never confirmed if mine was affected but a lot of that run of MBP had so much thermal paste applied that it wrapped around to preventing the heat from dissipating properly, I'd guess mine was affected given the major heat issues it had.

But the steroids that sealed the deal were full price. :p

Imma go ahead and say the cutting open the testicles had a greater effect on said testicles lol

 

Plus a vial of teat is like 100 bucks and at the doses I used to run that’s be like a week tops. Not lasting as long as the device 😂
