I would like to buy a gaming laptop because I would like to be mobile. Since gaming laptops are known to be more expensive than gaming PCs, I wonder how long I would have the laptop and how long he can keep up with newer games.

Gaming laptop:

XMG Ultra 17

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 | 8 GB of GDDR6

SSD: 1TB Samsung 860 EVO

HDD: 2TB Seagate BarraCuda | 5,400 rpm

My previous PC:

Monitor: Asus MG248 | 1920x1080 | 144Hz

Wait what have I gelsesn right? Gaming laptop and mobile?

does not fit in a sentence and that will not change so fast Everyone has their own definition of mobile but it is definitely not mobile if the thing weighs 3-5 pounds and then just has a battery life of one hour

the specs from the laptop are quite okay, the ram could be a bit faster, you have to keep thinking, you can hardly upgrade anything

In itself, I always recommend desktop PCs because you can easily exchange things there. But since you want a laptop that keeps up with new games I would say that he holds for 2-3 or even 4 years. Of course it depends on how much you have on it next to the games on it which also swallows performance.

Yes with the retrofit is just the problem How long would I use the laptop with the specs well

Ja

Hard to say that depends on your needs for years, which should be good enough

fo

Yes the laptop would be a lot in use and I play Metro, BO4, BF5, Fortnite and from time to time watch Netflix and surf a bit.

Ja

As I said you have to expect that the thing is very Unkompakt and hard and also has a very short battery life so with luck you can watch a 90 min movie

fo

Ok so after 4 years, the laptop can't keep up or?

fo

Okay but if i eg. I do not need a lot of power to watch a movie with the energy-saving mode, but he keeps a little bit longer, right?

Ja

Not really that does not change the hardware the consumption is lower than usual but nevertheless it will not last long. Another reason is that the battery is quickly exhausted and generally smaller due to the rest of the hardware

Ok then I have to see if I buy me then at all or if I do not buy a new PC, thanks for your help.

This is not a "normal" gaming laptop, but already a full-blown DTR system. (Desktop Replacement System)

Totally covered technology for nasty gaming, and most likely neither very handy, light, good and quiet coolable under load, and on Akkuberieb rather little "mobile"…

How is it currently with your old PC? Well, the AMD FX 6300 could actually limit the FPS on some @FHD games, but there are already much handier, cheaper, cooler, quieter, and more portable books than o. DTR, which still performs noticeably faster than your old PC in games.

For a future gaming laptop I would rather look for something in the range of an Intel Core i5 to i7. In the 7th. Or 8th. Gene. In the HK or QM variant (each 4 physical cores) and a GTX 1060 to 1660Ti and 16 GB RAM search.

Especially with its graphics chips AMD is not yet ready to offer very powerful notebooks with correspondingly low energy consumption.

Okay thanks

My pleasure. 😉

Please pay attention to a possible purchase decision but still below on the aspects of weight, power supply, temperatures, noise and battery life:

Exchangeable may be in this book quite a lot, but, for example. Mobile XMX - Grafikkartenmodule not only generally cost significantly more than their desktop derivatives, but they must still meet significantly higher compatibility specifications (dimensions) and are quasi for private individuals not to get, if you need them as an upgrade to self-installation.

Nope.
