Gaming PC or Gaming Laptop

[RubberMoose]

I'm looking into a gaming device but I don't want consoles and I want to stay under $600 dollars so should I get a Gaming PC or a Gaming Laptop. Also, any recommendations for things that I should get. For laptops i'm looking into this, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-3-15-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i3-1005g1-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-almond/6415810.p?skuId=6415810 and for PC's i'm looking into this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-gaming-desktop-intel-i3-9100f-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-4gb-240gb-ssd-1tb-hdd/6428887.p?skuId=6428887

It all depends really. If you are on the move alot get a laptop, but I would recommend a desktop. Also unless you can get a good deal on a pre-built I'd say build your own, but thats up to you.

Unless you need to be portable, I recommend a Desktop.

With the laptop you chose, you won't be able to play many games aside from CSGO and other eSports, it's fine for web browsing but you won't be able to game on it properly. With the PC you can play some AAA games with low-medium settings. I'd get the PC.

"gaming laptops" are almost always extremely hot, have bad color accuracy, and not so great build quality unless you're willing to spend 1.2-3k, better just to build a pc.

Thanks! I'll look into building a PC and your AMD blackout rig might be helpful!

Is the case for the AMD rig on best buy, if so can you link it?

the case i picked isnt great, and was only picked because it was available, look for a meshify C or meshify II.
